Forget deeply discounted, most of them have been offered free on PS Plus!

This is kind of weird because almost all of these games have been on PS Plus. And most early adopters have probably been in the PS ecosystem for a while. Which means they likely won’t get much value from this.

I’m not sure if the Series X is a better value. It has a higher max power threshold, certainly, but I wonder how useful that'll be in practice.

Unfortunately, some of those games will be $70 😱

It’s funny, because this kind of WAS what PS Plus was originally: an “instant game collection,” where you didn’t have to claim games every month, you just had access to all of them automatically (even if you weren't signed up when they were added).

This is a really half hearted attempt at combating Game Pass lol. 

Where the fuck are all these trolls coming from

Falcom has such an amazing stable of composers. Here’s one of my favorites from them:

I think so, unless they successfully pivot to community gaming hubs or whatever they’re testing out. But even then it’ll certainly be a much smaller national presence.

this should go in the dictionary next to “chonky”

I don’t mind cartoony at all! But that’s not my problem. It’s just not a great implementation of a cartoony art style. The more I think about it, I think it's toeing the line between cartoony and realistic a little too closely, and ending up unsatisfying from both perspectives.

Serge Hascoet and Maxime Beland (among others)didn’t suddenly become problematic over

christ, this is what constitutes a remake?

I dig how colorful it is, but something about it looks... off? Like, the effects are beautiful, but the models have an almost budget feeling to them. Sort of generically cartoony, perhaps.

I think you’re underestimating digital game sales. Sony reported that nearly 70% of their Playstation revenue came from digital sales last quarter, and while COVID is inflating that number, last year it was around 50% IIRC. That’s not particularly wary lol.

Do you really think the digital could be $400? Reports suggest that Sony is dangerously close to selling at a loss, and the disc drive itself is typically <$50 (counting licensing fees).

David, on your Note20, do you have the “call bubble” feature? Where the call gets minimized to a bubble if you go to another app? I installed it on my S20 a while back but the call bubble didn’t show up in the settings. ☹

It feels hard to get value from the ice sorcery because it’s centered around you, and slowing down for that long is a death sentence. (It also doesn’t synergize too well with the ice primary fire.) And while I enjoy sniping, the high damage is kind of offset by the travel and charge time. Other elements end up doing

It’s been pretty stable for me until you have more than six people fighting at the same time.
