The “Main” Oddworld games are what was known as “cenimatic platformers”—platformers that were meticulously well-animated, with a focus more on exploration than straightforward challenges. The original Prince of Persia is also an example of this.

What does “Shin” even mean in this context?

These glasses remind of Google Lens in a lot of ways, most notably in that they were promoted as Cool New Gadgets and then years later I thought back to them and realized that no one actually had a chance to buy them.

Port this shit to PC, Sakaguchi. This is literally the only game I care about that is on Xbox but not any other devices, and I’m not digging up my 360 just to finish this, and I’m not buying a new Xbox either.

My understanding of the word “smurf” in this context is this:

My favorite handheld, and possibly my favorite console ever. Between the 3DS and DS’s libraries, this system might have had the best library out there, with a massive selection of diverse and unique experiences that simply wouldn’t be the same on other consoles. I liked the two screens, I liked the touchscreen, I even…

As the article says, this is a game that looks really generic on first blush, and only reveals its depth once you’ve tried it for a bit longer than an hour. The gameplay is solid but hardly original, but the characters and worldbuilding are surprisingly unique. At least, that’s how I felt when I played it probably…

GI is a “Single player, story driven game” though. Like, don’t get me wrong, I don’t like the gatcha stuff either, but GI gives me pretty much everything I could want out of an open-world SP game, including a decent story (or more accurately, lots of smaller, decent stories).

The copy of the game provided through PS+ this month is not eligible for the free PS5 upgrade.

Yeah but then I still have to pay $10 or $20 or whatever for the Yuffie DLC.

If I got the game through PS+, the only way for me to get this “Intergrade” version is to buy either it or the original game for $60-$70, right? There’s no easy upgrade option for $20 or whatever.

This and the Violet Evergarden movie need to get home releases ASAP. Theaters just aren’t worth it yet.

I wasn’t aware that there were any wireless VR headsets, not counting those devices that are able to handle all their processing power in the headset itself.

Also notable is what isn’t there: two squishy glowing orbs. It looks like whatever tracking tech PSVR2 is going to use, it’s better than a camera tracking a ball.

I keep seeing games added to this service that I already have on other, non-Microsoft devices, that I bought back when PC ports weren’t even annouced. And these are usually massive RPGS like Dragon Quest and Octopath that I have no interest in starting from scratch.

Then Octopath won’t sway you, because it has truly garbage pacing even by JRPG standards (or at least the standards of a guy who played Dragon Quest XI for over 80 hours), even if literally every other aspect of it is phenomenal.

As someone not well-versed in Halo, what does this symbol represent in that game?

Alas, DOOM 2016 isn’t on Game Pass at the moment. Only Eternal.

I won’t get excited until I know for certain that the Elder Scrolls games can be downloaded on PC as actual programs with executables and not those terrible Windows Apps that can’t be modded at all. The blog post on Xbox’s website mentions mods, but I’ve had trouble enabling mods on the very few Game Pass games that…

xCloud would cost me more money per month than I’m paying for just for Game Pass PC, and would require a constant internet connection, when the places I usually play my Switch in handheld mode can’t reliably maintain a wi-fi signal. And I don’t want to use that much mobile data.
