It’s a guilty pleasure if you personally feel guilt for enjoying it; no need to apply a general label to it.

Trigger has his work cut out for him.

A few months ago I was wondering what happened to these guys. I didn’t know contracted by Ubisoft or if they were professional at all, but I remembered they’d received some glowing (and some cloying) press attention in the 2000s. I thought they were a self-promoting Counter-Strike clan or something. Glad to see them…

I have a friend who’s a diehard Melee fan. He bounced off Brawl, didn’t last long with 3D, but Ultimate is the one that finally cracked him. This isn’t any kind of indictment against Melee, but you can’t not have Ultimate at EVO right now and I can see how it might be bad for the fighting game scene to have both.…

History is littered with fads that explode in popularity for a couple of years only to decline, and one-hit-wonders of all kinds that never replicate that instance of success (see Telltale Games). Pokemon was the exception rather than the rule when it comes to these things.

I’d really like to see EA do something creative in the next few years instead of basing all their decisions on market research. Right now they’re seeking their money from the service shooter and battle royale trends, and Apex: Legends shows that they’re taking creative control out of the hands of their developers to…

Excellent news!

I want to like to like Anthem, but the demo last weekend didn’t function for me and everything about its release has that EA soapscummy feel that was all over the Battlefront releases. Which is to say, congratulating itself on the multiple release dates and access tiers, with only minor address of the concerns people…

Very glad they changed this, even if it’s a mistake they probably shouldn’t have made in the first place. Hopefully it shows Ubisoft is serious about treating Odyssey as an RPG, and handling player agency with respect.

Try to play something you haven’t played (much of) before that you can’t get on consoles. Make a shortlist of five such games, pick one out of that list, play it to your satisfaction. Do that until you run out of games on your shortlist, then rinse and repeat.

Don't know what to tell you.

All true. My own stupid fault. In the end I was able to get a lot of it back, but Sony policy states that they can’t refund software once it’s been downloaded and they cant refund in-progress PS Plus subscriptions. In the end I lost around £100 on two inadvertently purchased and downloaded games, a long subscription…

Boycotting the agricultural exports of countries that depend on them isn’t how you get rid of far-right regimes.

Very excited! But very unhappy they’ve decided to gate off premium content. Get with the plot on remakes, Activision.

It’s interesting, I read a PC Gamer article earlier in which the writer finds Panzerstorm to be among his favourite maps. Since the Bad Company games, I think Battlefield has found itself catering to a couple of different camps of fans who want totally different things out of their maps. Personally I know I won’t like…

I think the adult content, or the acceptance of adult content, on Tumblr is intrinsically linked to the creativity and expressiveness of its users, and that’s what made it a platform to be reckoned with in the first place.

If the support response was incorrect, how correct is the identical-but-worse reddit response?

There is an in-game explanation of Ivy’s outfit in Libra of Soul mode but it’s so perfunctory it’s not worth elaborating on. Seong Mi-Na is a good character to reference though. Aside from her inexcusably-poor-fitting bra she and Ivy have a lot of interaction in Soulcalibur VI, with Mi-Na seeing Ivy as a role model…

Would be a better track without the lyrics IMHO.

The only solution I’d find acceptable is to stop limiting the storage entirely, or make it easy to expand your storage (small resource cost maybe). I fear the limit exists in case they want to monetise it.
