I picked this up mostly out of curiosity, knowing it wasn’t likely my thing, and it isn’t. Nicely done, but a game designed to be as punitive as possible, even more so than a Souls-like where it’s more about learning how to deal with specific challenges than overcoming random bad luck — which I would be cool with were…

I will probably check this out despite having little interest in either roguelikes or punishingly difficult games, partially just because it’s from Housemarque. But I tend to fall for these “new system showcase” type games. I will definitely be buying the disc version so I can sell it, however.

It’s a shame, though not super surprising given the state of the movie exhibition biz. I loved the Minnesota location (haven’t been to any others), and there really isn’t anything else in a lot of markets that’s an alternative to the AMCs of the world in terms of both sensibility and actual offerings. Hopefully it…

It’s almost like any game tied to the Vampire: The Masquerade franchise is cursed, doomed to never develop any further, feeding off the – OK, maybe it doesn’t quite work, you get the idea. Thinking about the cancelled CCP WoD MMO that I was actually looking forward to...

Ultimately this is true – scalpers are essentially moving a small part of the supply from people with an excess of one thing (time, to be able to research and show up exactly when and where they need to be to snatch up the available supply within a 20 second window, and also luck) to people with an excess of another…

Not intending to split hairs, but as Batista Thumbs Up also pointed out, MLB Slugfest was really the NFL Blitz/NBA Showtime of baseball, as it was 3D – the 2D video capture style of NBA Jam/High Impact Football/NHL Open Ice/WWF WrestleMania is what Power-Up Baseball was doing. But yes, Midway did indeed do crazy…

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?
