Gamehistory.org’s article showed at least an in-progress version of the cabinet, though it doesn’t actually have the trackballs this game supposedly had:

About the same here, on PS4 Pro (I also have it on Stadia, I may do my second playthrough there), it definitely does crash at least once per session, which is not great, but that’s the only real issue I’ve encountered. I do wonder if anyone in the G/O Media network (or really the gaming press in general) is allowed to…

Though the comments here may or may not be representative, based on my general observations it seems to me the attitude toward this game is shifting toward “the negative hype was overblown, it’s actually a good game,” but of course the gaming media is so invested in the narrative it has built that it has to keep…

Of course the PS5 is only so “available,” except through scalpers. But hey, there are some great deals out there, like the one for $31,500 that comes with a free 1991 Nissan Skyline GTR, or several that promise they’ll donate 20% of their $10,000 asking price to charity! (These are extreme examples, but the fact is…

I foolishly typed out a long reply on my phone, only to have it glitch out thanks to Kinja’s shitshow of a mobile implementation, but then it would probably just hide my comment as “pending” anyway, so why bother.

Enough already. We get that gaming media choose to create and then build upon a specific narrative for every major news story, and the story leading up to the Cyberpunk launch was “Cyberpunk is troubled” with the trans disrespect angle and the crunch angle being flogged again and again, and the story now is “LOL…

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…
