I think most of the criticism of CDPR is fair, but I also haven’t experienced most of what people are complaining about on PS4 Pro (which I realize is not the base PS4). There are the obvious and kind of amusing visual glitches, yes, and the regular hard crashes are getting annoying, and no, it doesn’t look anywhere…

I’ve seen this story a couple of places, and nobody seems to have really looked into it – the BioBidet Bliss BB-2000 does not cost $1500, at least at any sane retailer. BioBidet itself lists it for $699, presumedly its regular price, as does Home Depot. (In fact, numerous other retailers on the same Amazon page list…

He is thicc, though in that Quinjet shot he is kind of working it for the camera. I’m not sure why the camera chooses that angle, and quite often. Some noticeable Hulk sideboob in that scene as well.

I’m not a giant Neo Geo fan but I agree with others (as was also said about the NG Mini) that the number of fighting games in this collection is silly. Not sure what’s behind that exactly, if it’s licensing or something else, but I can’t imagine why anyone would want to play TEN different variants of a 90s fighting…

I realize there’s an article quota but come on... the quit button is right there.

Speaking as someone who has paid no attention to Dreams at all, this is pretty impressive. It could be that it’s relatively easy to make vague landscapes and moody atmospheres in it, I don’t know, but I can see a lot of potential there. It wouldn’t have occurred to me that this was produced in Dreams, certainly.

I think this is just further proof that not everyone who creates a thing that ends up being popular is cut out for running a company. What about the tasteless, lowball humor that made CAH so popular suggests that the people behind it would have a more noble, enlightened mindset in their workplace?

Awesome that they didn’t just go full FPS with this, but I have to admit I’m hoping they amp up the sounds of the fighting – the punches sound soft and the recipient of the punch makes nary a sound at all. Even if you’re full of cybernetic implants, you should probably grunt a bit if someone punches you square in the…

Did they get into what the screen does? Seems like they could do plenty of fun things with it, it just says “custom video scenes and events.” I’m not a pinball guy but I know a lot of the machines in the 90s started to get really into minigames on the digital screens, but given that pinball is now a niche, perhaps…

In fairness, $3000 in 1990 would be close to $6000 today (even more in, say, 1985), and these are probably still largely made by someone’s hands, just not American hands. This also has a lot of details and mechanisms that weren’t common on pinball machines back then.

Similarly, spelling and grammar are just guidelines, write what you feel!

Sadly it appears it just ends up on the floor next to him...

I was only dimly aware of these before, now my interest in piqued (squeaked?).

I’m not detecting your point here. The emerging trend in your 1) is a direct response to the problems you point out in your 2). You may not care for the subscriptionization of gaming, but it removes the incentives for churning out free-to-play crap that is monetized to the gills. I fail to see how a subscription model…

What is even left in your life if you’re capable of pouring so much emotion and energy into something like this? Is this literally all you have? I don’t even care enough about this as an issue to be typing this, so it’s hard to imagine what it takes to make death threats and coordinate hate campaigns against…

Wow, lotta hate for a guy for suggesting he wouldn’t mind an occasional show of appreciation for catching a potentially costly bug while accepting his McDonald’s-level hourly pay. Somehow several people managed to imagine he was asking to “be paid more,” “(to receive) a bonus,” “to get a promotion,” or astonishingly,…

Completely agree. I realize the challenges of filling the internet’s giant gaping content maw, but most articles written about major games are essentially narrative building, for entertainment and click chasing, not an honest and fair assessment of their strengths and weaknesses. Because at the end of the day, I think…

Exactly, and BR players like the ones getting slaughtered have been conditioned to accept that quickly dying again and again is somehow the way of the world, and not an antiquated way of handling differing player skill levels. It’s kind of like wanting to play a pickup game of basketball, but you are forced to play…

Yep. Heather’s argument here is puzzling, and seems like an attempt by someone who really enjoys something to put themselves in the shoes of someone who doesn’t, and missing the point. I do not understand the appeal of BR games in general, a genre in which you are almost guaranteed to lose, get virtually nothing when…
