Sometimes it feels like Call of Duty was made by people who say “How can we make this as hideous and cringey as possible” before they do anything.

Fuuuuuuuuck those assholes. Just launch them straight into the sun.

I miss Kirk so much :(

Easy Screenshots. It is the way.

I should jump back in at some point, I’d say it’s been at least two years for me as well. Always appreciated that there are a bunch of heroes in the game that are tailor made for people who don’t have lightning fast reflexes and twitch aiming. If you know all of the abilities and maps well and understand how to…

Ah yes, the right wing grifter pipeline: Be a shitty person and get called out for it, then make a youtube channel or podcast where your whole brand is “I was cancelled for just speaking my miiiiind guyyyysss” and boom, you’ve got a nice Patreon income waiting for you.

I literally explained what I meant by “Loooonnggg way off” very clearly, i.e. Microsoft is really far behind in a world where Sony and Nintendo have been pumping out great exclusives. If you want to continue to be weirdly pedantic about all of this be my guest. Jesus.

Focusing on 4K is a colossal waste. Focus on framerates, more complex simulations, higher player counts, ANYTHING but fucking 4K. Breath of the Wild looks just fine on my 4K set thanks to decent upscaling, and I would be perfectly contented if the next Switch remained a 1080p system.

I’ve never once said that Microsoft just won’t have exclusives, yet you seem really insistent on interpreting me as saying that. Obviously they’ll have exclusives. My entire point is that they’re behind, that they’ve been behind for quite some time, and that they have a lot of catching up to do if they want to…

Eh, I mean, everything just takes time. PS4 didn’t have a truly killer exclusive until Bloodborne and Uncharted 4 came out, and then the floodgates opened and we got Horizon, Uncharted Lost Legacy, Last Guardian, God of War, Last of Us Part 2, Ghost of Tsushima, etc... I adore all of those games and none of them would…

My basis is that Sony already has sequels to hugely successful, widely beloved exclusives coming out as well as brand new IP’s that are broadly celebrated like Ghost of Tushima and Horizon, and Microsoft has... what exactly? Halo Infinite is the main one, but at this point it feels like it’ll be a miracle if that…

Right now I look at my PS5 in the same way that a PC gamer looks at a fancy new graphics card they just upgraded to. It basically lets me play what I was already playing at way better settings. Literally everything I play runs at 60fps, which is the exact paradigm I’ve longed for on a console for so long. I’m super…

1. Neat, I guess, but c’mon, let Creative Assembly make a survival horror-themed take on Aliens, ala Dead Space 2. It could still be an action game at points but you would still have all those great moments of tension and tons of atmosphere.

Oh my god, precisely. Perfect example of a game that has tons of action and big set pieces but is still atmospheric as hell and knows how to use pacing and tension.

Oh, BotW is by no means a graphics/rendering showcase, but it is a pretty remarkable achievement in leveraging EXTREMELY limited hardware to produce a very beautiful, studio Ghibli-esque aesthetic. If you want a console game that will blow you away in the graphics/rendering department, you’d have to buy a PS4 and play…

Breath of the Wild is so much prettier looking, though. I always wanted an open world Pokemon game but from what they’ve shown it looks so dingy and plain. 

Y it so ugly tho

It’s a grindy game. We’ve known ever since they announced they were working on transmog that there would be some cost associated, whether that be in-game effort or silver. It’s a free to play game.

Honestly I’m super down for the big yearly Destiny drops to be in the early spring; fall is just way too packed with other stuff I want to play, whereas early spring/summer is usually my peak in terms of Destiny time.

Oh get tf outta here
