I don’t want to be anti-fun but I can’t imagine this not being bad

There's an accessibility option to change sprint to a toggle instead. 

Yeah they try to shoehorn too much story into these games. Just give us survival mode and expand on it. That is your game right there.

And don’t forget windows handhelds like the ROG Ally. It’s fantastic to go between my desktop and the Ally. Microsoft is finally wising up to how valuable PC gaming will be to their Gamepass ambitions. They really don’t need a Series X Pro, or handheld device since they can just say that’s what the PC space provides.… Read more

Because a console is convenient, and in almost all homes, connected to a bigger screen than the PC.

I think it’s probably the opposite scenario. When their wife is not using the TV, they can log off the PC and hop onto the Xbox and continue right where they left off on a big screen with home theater surround setup.

Just here to say again that people should play Midnight Suns

I don’t have the original tweet, cropped it to post in chat so I can’t credit the guy but people are being huge fucking stoners about this game and need to sit down somewhere.

I am about 3/4 of the way through the game, and the FX’s get so ridiculous that you can’t really see the enemies anymore. I ended up having to equip that ring that gives you hints on when to dodge, because I couldn’t see anything.

I find it really disingenous how people are saying this one’s not a real Final Fantasy because it’s an action/RPG hybrid, as if one of the most acclaimed games in the series isn’t an isometric tactics game, and two of the numbered entries aren’t MMOs. Final Fantasy isn’t defined by picking your party’s attack commands… Read more

The comparisons to DMC are super overblown. The resemblance is superficial at best. 

Ya know, I think it would do pretty well actually. 

Least favorite: Phoenix Dash (O) and dodge (R1) should be swapped or at least let us map custom controls. None of the preset control schemes fix this for me. I can’t even say how many times I went to dodge and instead dashed straight into an attack. Read more

Custom controls should be mandatory. Ended up using type c because hitting magic with triangle was not doing it for me.

Out of curiosity have you played FF14 at all? While obviously trying to emulate GoT it felt a LOT like 14 to me in so far as the character designs and their dialogue. (Other then the large amount of swearing since T rating for 14 and all) Which makes sense since a large number of the 14 team worked on 16. Read more

Yeah I totally would have expected that they add a coop mode for people who want it. Didnt Lost Planet had one back in the day? Then again after sooooo much time any new Dragons Dogma is basically good news lol

I loved all of the original voice cast- especially with cute asides like the fact Yuri Lowenthal (M Protag) and Tara Platt (Mitsuru/ Elizabeth) have been married for 20 something years. Or that the OG voice cast has done all supplemental appearances in promo materials, rhythm games, etc.

How far up the console war shincter are you that you can’t remember Psychonauts 2, Ori and the Wisps, Battle Toads, Gears Tactics, Sea of Thieves and Flight Simulator? Or how about more recently HiFi Rush, Grounded, Minecraft Legends, and Pentiment.

Grounded, Minecraft Legends, Pentiment for the more recent. With Flight Simulator, Sea of Thieves, Gears Tactics, Battle Toads, Ori and the Wisps, Psychonauts 2, being a little older. Possibly Everwild coming up. I would even throw HiFi Rush in there, but I could understand argument against it.  While I don’t think… Read more

It’s Sony’s own graph. I assume each 100% is the “PS5 Investment by Model”, which starts off low in 2019 while they are still crossgen with PS4 investment, and then grows in 2025 based on their wanting to sell off a business unit to increase funds for potential acquisitions (which was a separate news story earlier in… Read more
