Most of your complaints are echoing what people were saying about video games in 2007 after the PS3 and 360 came out. If you dumb down the graphics you can make Gran Turismo work on a PS1 (as proven by history) but that’s not how devs make their games.

I think GT7 is a fantastic case for why SSD speeds are helpful: a race loads from the menu in less than a second most of the time, which drastically changes how you play. You’re more willing to jump into a race just to try it and see how you do, and if it doesn’t work out, it’s no big deal. On PS4, those same loads…

Maybe it’s because he’s into WWE? Legitimately no idea.

I also noted that Phil Spencer’s acceptance speech also called out leaders who fail because they don’t address workplace harassment and abuse. It was nice to see, but it fell flat when the host not two segments after him was Randy fucking Pitchford.

Since the beginning this is a world where Moltres causes wildfires and Onyx starts earthquakes. Can’t say I’m surprised!

“You can’t right click either of these.”

That makes sense. I guess my complaint then is that it’s weird that skipping old story content is *the default* rather than an alternative, secondary option for those who want to Fast Pass to the latest stuff.

I’ve never understood the logic of putting all that work into the story mode (concept, models, animations, writing, etc) only to offer an item to skip absolutely all of it two years later.

The Suicide Mission isn’t designed to kill off your party members, it’s designed to kill them if you don’t read the context clues and went in unprepared. It’s a compressed CYOA.

Easy to forget but in the original Dragon Ball, direct recap segments weren’t done. Instead you’d have about 20 seconds where he’d say what Goku has been up to lately while you see images of the present, say, Goku on the Nimbus flying to his next destination. Thus it felt much more like a grandfather telling you an…

Curiously, this article doesn’t seem to mention that when starting a new game in Rift Apart, there’s now a set of options literally called Speedrunning Settings!

If anything this only justifies why the Warthog handles the way it does.

Normally I’d agree, but you’ve been able to purchase cosmetic MTXs since the multiplayer’s official launch. IMO, if you can spend money on/in the game, you’ve launched.

hit the reset button before launch

Which is ultra-sad in this case because Master Chief Collection exists.

Shadow on PS3 is a remaster, Shadow on PS4 is a remake. They’re a helpful example!

So is it a remake or a remaster?

Oooooh that’s cool!

They do! They’re a lot rarer though, and I suspect they’re more expensive too.

I’m preeeeetty sure Lottie increases your pay as you rank up by playing the DLC.
