I replayed the first Parasite Eve a few years back for the first time since it came out and was really impressed with it. Sure, it’s got issues and can be pretty clunky at times but it still felt really fresh. I’m kinda shocked no indie dev has made a spiritual successor all these years later because it really feels…

The most useless feature is not a feature but a button placement: sprint and jump should not be on opposite sides of the four-button cross. You want to run and then jump at the same time, meaning you want to rest your thumb on one and then roll onto the other (or even better, map sprint to clicking the left stick and…

Yeah 100% agreed. Also when I got the first Sage I thought it was weird they gave me the ability to disable them but once I got all 5 and they were constantly getting in the way and blocking my view I suddenly understood it very well. (I still haven’t turned them off, though.)

That’s a really compelling argument for a conversation that nobody else is having in this thread. The person above asked a question and I answered it. If you’d like to go on about some tangent unrelated to the above you’re free to do so but I have no interest in joining you. Take care, my dude.

Ha yeah, I don’t mind them making it into a difficult decision, but it felt pretty arbitrary and unearned.

This article is about worldwide sales - not just sales numbers in Japan - and the person I was responding to was asking why a single SKU could be bad for sales.

I mean, no, I’m literally responding to what you said:

Honestly my biggest sticking point with the Mass Effect 3 ending is still the idea that the “Destroy” ending winds up killing folks like EDI or the Geth. I remember they give you some handwave explanation of “Oh, well they include technology from the Reapers so they’ll be affected” but it always felt like a copout to…

Yeah, that’s a reasonable explanation. It did still feel pretty weird, though.

If I’m being honest I completely forgot most of this Extremis stuff as I haven’t watched Iron Man 3 since it was in theaters but yeah I can believe that.

That could’ve been fun!

Yeah, I mean, obviously the resources needed for optimizing the framerate aren’t going to be an exact match for the resources needed for new content or anything, but framerate is so clearly not the problem with this game that there’s gotta be a better use of that time and effort.

Again, saying “the story about slavery that they wrote would be disastrous if they included people of color” is more an indictment of the work than a reasonable defense of it.

Well maybe I will!

The point about being a single console versus multiple is because there is a smaller audience to sell to and therefore presumably harder to hit the numbers of a game that hit multiple platforms. It's not a guarantee that the game will sell less - anybody can look at Nintendo's biggest sellers to see how well a game on…

Genuinely baffling that you thought “it was actually a deliberate decision to not include any people of color” is somehow a good defense and not an embarrassing admission of how they could’ve easily avoided fucking up.

A promised 60fps performance mode for Xbox Series X/S is still MIA

That’s pretty cool. Thanks!

So either you can choose to play as one of these characters or they can become a party member instead? That’s pretty cool.

No I haven’t, but that sounds cool.
