“The PS2 was a garbage console that couldn’t match the visuals of the Dreamcast for years.”

“Shit time management skills”

MGSV was missing things, the problem is that your claim of “missing an entire level” isn’t accurate: it’s impossible to know HOW MUCH it was missing. Ironically it could actually be more than an entire level, more than one mission, considering that its third chapter and surrounding metagame of nuclear disarmament was…

A Director’s Cut doesn’t mean the game was rushed or incomplete-- it just means that the original version is ready for the market. There are radio-edit’s of Top 40 songs, and those are not “incomplete”.

But death stranding is a complete, polished, lengthy experience?

Literally said it’s just as bad when Sony do it in this very comment chain but whatever because I didn’t mention it on one particular article several months ago (where I did argue how both the Series X and PS5 are pointless) must mean I think it’s fine...

The game will be available on PC and likely xCloud which means it will be playable on an assortment of other devices.

Didn’t think I’d need to say this but can dumb comments please stop going “what about Sony, how come you aren’t saying they’re bad”. I know it must be shocking to be talking about MSoft during an MSoft conference but that’s what’s happening amazingly enough.

According to Microsoft, the company can recoup the costs of buying Bethesda without necessarily having the RPG developer’s games go multiplatform.

You’re not wrong, but that’s not really my point. You (or me, or anyone) feeling shitty about stuff like this helps precisely nobody. In a way, it’s self-indulgent. It makes someone else’s pain about you.
Instead of that, we need to move the needle and help. Volunteer, donate and, obviously, fucking vote.

If kids run are around quoting Brave or Coco mimicing those character’s accents, is that really inherently racist?

I mean, do you really think the Indian kids you said it around processed it anywhere remotely close to how adults of today process it? Because that’s really what we’re talking about, and this is filtered through the lens of both age and perspective. I doubt any of the Indian kids who might’ve heard you say it back in…

I don't know what is wrong with the version you played but I had no problem playing the Steam version

Two wrong’s don’t make a right.

You mean the article that brings up how the same techniques allowed Super Mario 64 to be ported to the PC, which totally wouldn’t require the original game?
Or how the original article on the reverse engineering talked about porting GTAIII to platforms like the Switch. Which would also not require the original game?

I really really really really really hate siding with a corporation, but they’re right and the “countersuer” is wrong.

“They’re not. They created their own, wholly independent engine in which the player-provided assets from GTA 3/VCs can be used to play a nearly-identical game.”

Reverse engineering is a broad category - some methods are lawful, some are not. Decompiled code (which this project used - they did not write their own code from scratch) is the latter - it’s a copyright violation that’s only protected under DMCA exemptions if it’s for the sole purpose of interoperability with an…

I’ve always been a little uncomfortable with how pro-piracy this site tends to be. While I acknowledge that there is a direct throughline from the mod community to some of my favorite indy titles, I still feel like distributing a company’s game against their wishes is at least murky enough to take a more neutral…
