I like them as a way to extend my time with a game I'm really into. It's fun to have some additional goals to pursue after I've beaten a game.

It’s going to be easy for Moriarty to catch you when you can only move in baby steps.

Advertising sort of does work this way. It’s not always about making you “want” what’s in the ad, sometimes it’s just putting the name in your brain for the future. 

“hey, do you want to watch 30 seconds of an ad and then get two hours of game streaming?”

Is there not laws about false advertising that this fall into?

I’m just more baffled the vertical stand is a separate purchase now.

If the reason they are doing it is because they are in a good position that would suggest that MS only have to drop the next xbox by like 100 bucks for an open goal.

The “nonsense” tends to alternate depending on which company’s doing better. Last gen MS got punished hard for their initial XBone plans, for example.

I read it as Red Dead Redemption 2 and got really excited to finally play the game. Whelp.

There’s literally no reason this game is not patched for 60FPS on new consoles yet. It runs at whatever you can run it on PC and the Series X and PS5 could run the PS4 and One versions without any issue at this framerate. It’s a…

Go ahead and keep claiming that amidst reports of record-high profits for last fiscal year at Capcom and other AAA publishers.

I’d argue that that logic is fundamentally flawed. For one, when you pay for a service like GP, you’re specifically paying for access to games on that service. That access isn’t an incidental benefit. It’s the primary purpose of that service.

Obligatory “it’s not free if you have to pay to access it” comment. Seriously, though. It’s not free. That’s like saying Stranger Things is free on Netflix. It’s not. You have to pay a subscription fee to access that content. Therefore, that content isn’t free.

This does look pretty cool but I remember reading somewhere recently that the washed-out colors were likely a mistake when the original artwork was reproduced for the game manuals.

The publisher’s financial health took a particularly hard hit early this year when CEO Lars Wingefors revealed that a $2 billion deal the company had planned on suddenly fell through at the last minute.

What are the big games on 360 that aren’t still available for purchase on the Xbox One / Series X|S?

I almost guarantee that Rockstar won’t do that again because of the PS4 and Switch release. They won’t raise the price because it’s just bad PR, but they won’t discount below those other versions.

Man fuck these guys, imagine what this money could do for someone that doesn’t already own 3 mansions and 1 yacht.

I really hate slideshows
