Everything I hear about this game makes it sound more and more half-baked. Haven't tried it myself since the anti-cheat doesn't work with Linux and there's no way to disable it even though they've pretty openly said they're not going to do jack shit to punish cheaters, but there's no reason you shouldn't be able to…

Actually, I think a new Melty Blood is some of the least surprising news of the year. French Bread’s been pretty open about wanting to do another one at some point, and with the source material finally getting its long-promised big-budget reboot this summer, it only makes sense for a new Melty Blood to follow.

I think I left Persona 5 two-thirds of the way through, for 6-8 months, before finally coming back around to finishing it. That’s probably about as long as I’m willing to go for any game that has an actual plot to it, because my memory is awful.

NieR Automata is a must-play despite feeling a bit janky at times, but if the Windows Store build is roughly the same as the Steam build I’d advise caution. The PC port had some serious framerate and stability issues that never got patched; even on a GTX 1080 I had the framerate drop into the single-digits for no…

Jesus Christ, how many times does Torchlight’s corpse need to be beat down and pissed on?

As long as Abrams’ involvement is largely hands-off in terms of plot and direction, this has the potential to be pretty great. And even if he gets more involved than I’d like, it’s still gotta be ten times better than another Snyder flick.

I tried it but it’s pretty weird even for a reboot. Easily the most boring Holy Grail War I’ve ever seen.

Hasn’t really been years, the creator’s been doing minor patches semi-regularly. The difference is that they were being uploaded to places like the Internet Archive rather than NexusMods, due to the author’s apparent beef with them.

And yet somehow the PC version still doesn’t allow splitscreen, in any modes. Hard to imagine the franchise would be a tenth of what it is today if people couldn’t group around a TV and play for hours at a time, but 343 doesn’t really seem to care about that.

Is the localization for Ys IX actually decent this time? I usually don’t have issues with NISA on the translation side of things, but my god they butchered Ys 8 so badly. I’ve heard that the retranslation is a lot better, but I also know that NISA rarely learns from their mistakes, so I’m in no rush to give them the…

Version control isn’t hardly the main issue; remember that Git only came about because multiple other versioning systems that already existed simply weren’t a good fit for the scale and scope of Linux kernel development.

If Breath of the Wild was hitting a consistent 30FPS for you, I think we were playing very different games.

The replica package looks alright, but I’d rather pay $90 for a working NES cart than $50 for a fake one and a download code.

On one hand, it’s nice that this is finally coming out. Pretty sure the release gap between the first Rebuild movie and this one is actually longer than the gap between the premiere of the original series and the release of the first Rebuild movie.

It’s only two episodes in so far, so it’s a bit hard to say where exactly it’s going, but while the first episode is a fairly faithful take on the first part of the first arc, the second episode starts by making it abundantly clear that this is not going to go down the same way it did last time.

This just hit early access a couple of months ago, and people who paid then still found it too similar to the much-maligned Frontiers betas. I can’t imagine anything close to a full overhaul has been done since. Guessing someone at Perfect World got fed up with the development costs and wanted to recoup as much as…

I think my favorites come from Rare (now also a Microsoft studio) and their work on Donkey Kong 64.

As much as I love Tom Petty, I’m not really getting my hopes up about this release. I think almost everyone who’s listened to the entirety of Wildflowers will agree that it’s a good album, and I think that part of that was that it was pared down to just the best tracks. A handful of other good ones got recycled into…

Ah yes, the EA Desktop App. The official Desktop App of the Washington Football Team.

This is largely why I assumed the leaks earlier in the week were legit - no article here repeating them, meaning someone was worried about violating the NDA.
