I think Hades is fairly overrated to a great extent, gameplay-wise. It gets old and tired really fast despite some interesting twists and customization. Mainly the level and enemy design. It’s just too repetitive in very bad ways.

Yeah, reading is hard. Matches your whining. I said “best platform to play games only it can play”

Clearly, you have issues.

Dekudeals.com is the best deal site for Nintendo and has price tracking and history so you know how good of a deal it is. Isthereanydeal is great for PC, but I haven’t found any sites for Xbox or Playstation that work quite as well. Anyone have any sites? Deku has Xbox and PS in beta but still needs work and XBdeals…

Yes. To clarify:

Yep, absolutely right. But there is nothing stopping them from doing more or doing a catch-all for the remaining if Mr. Corporate Monkey was serious or had any material influence that mattered.

I bought a 360 E model after they were discontinued for that reason. My original 360 Elite(really my 3rd one) started to give out again. 

Rings hollow when they are only doing BC for games they can sell again. There is no legal barrier from them offering TRUE software BC; just from licensing and reselling the games digitally or new disc runs. Of course, that could also be worked out in various fashions if they truly “cared”.

If you get an OG xbox, you should definitely soft mod it. Becomes a really great old school retro machine. Think it tops out at PSX/N64

Hi. Author of the Axios interview here (some of you may know my previous work).

To add a little more context: I brought preservation up with him in light of us talking about the Xbox’s 20th anniversary. How do you prioritize preserving past games? That sort of questioning.

I asked about CMOS battery issues, which were…

I appreciate the dedication to emulation, but have no worries, Phil. I will continue to illegally emulate all the games that cannot be legally emulated due to licensing and other constraints. 

I find Phil’s attitude extremely hypocritical. With the Xbox Series X, due to the DRM they’ve added, without an internet connection, most games are unplayable. Even disc games, which should not be the case whatsoever (unless it is a game like Destiny or Avengers of course). I’ve lost internet before, due to various…

I love Hitman but hate unnecessary DRM so I avoided this game and as such I’m not entirely up to speed with this, but say you buy this game late, are these targets ever going to be recycled or re-released untimed?
