They are literally called Achievements on Xbox and Trophies on Playstation. There is no possible way you can frame them as a negative that gamers are discouraged from getting. The truth is exactly the opposite, gamers are encouraged to get them all, Playstation awards the highest possible trophy FOR getting them all.

Uh, yes, a 750% price increase will dramatically lower the amount of dust you have for other things like emotes and new armors. That’s so obvious I truly wonder what you’re talking about.

There’s a misunderstanding on your part how Destiny 2 armor works. Only exotic armor has anything meaningful about it. Every other armor is only distinguishable by the amount and types of mod slots it has, and the stat roll. So your season 1 Iron Banner and your season 12 season pass armor are only different by mod…

Don’t get the Platinum Trophy, this is about Personal Responsibility (TM) is one of the shittiest takes I have heard about this topic yet. You should really, really, really STOP.

They most likely did the memory card thing to make more money (obviously), but also to fight piracy. Which didn’t work, so then they killed the thing.

For me, this movie’s only standout feature was the best 3D I’d ever seen in theaters, bar none. Then I saw Gravity in IMAX, which surpassed it as a visual experience in my opinion. So now this movie exists in my mind as... probably my least favorite Cameron movie.

The benefit of making a robot with human proportions (instead of just using a forklift or a tank) is that it can do things humans can do. It can hold a gun or push a crate or lift a box or, yes, take hold of a bladed weapon and use it to stab things. Complaining about a humanoid mecha is something (boring and…

I mean, the Templars announce their decision to lobotomize or straight up murder every mage at that point in the story. Having the power to kill them first doesn’t make the Templars suddenly right.

For those who only see “Final”, look at the article on the front page (without clicking on it) without focusing your eyes on it directly at all. It looks extremely like the other thing, which is the reason they screwed up here.

How long do you believe they’ll support that option? Keep in mind, this Vita thing was so rushed that there were devs who were still actively releasing games on the thing who now have to cancel their plans completely. Communication and planning was that poor (they could have stopped accepting new games or forecast the…

If they fully support every Playstation generation’s digital games from here on, no it would be less of a big deal... why do you believe they’ll do this? They dropped Ps2 support from the Ps3 almost immediately after launch. Then they never supported Ps3 on Ps4 at all. The digital programs they have have not been…

Them turning off the server is a given, what they’re doing to the Ps3/PsP/Vita should answer that question definitively.

Reminds me of Halo 1 Anniversary just dropping a heap of Halo 1 maps into the Reach playlists all of a sudden. If I had played Reach with the same fervor as 2 and 3, that probably would have made my entire year. Alas, Halo’s grip on my time was already pretty much gone at that point.

“I’ve never been one to suggest that a bad finale erases the good of the show that came before it” Why not? It definitely does. We have absolute proof of that from the absolute mess that Game of Thrones and Dexter became basically the week after their finales. How I Met Your Mother as well, to a certain degree,…

“I understand the sentiment behind the environmental concerns,” he said. “Bitcoin mining does use a lot of energy. I think every industry needs to prioritize the environment while operating, too...At the end of the day, Ethereum is here to stay...”

There’s been sales on Ultimate already. There was a really popular one on Black Friday for example.

The obvious answer is that you’d need macOS/iOS/tvOS which the vast majority of the market does not have.

Halo is on PC (and can actually be streamed using your phone nowadays) and The Witcher can be watched on any brand of phone, TV, console, etc. It’s really not comparable.

Never thrown a controller. I once smacked one on the ground (which I was sitting on AND it was carpeted) during a heated loss of... Smash 64 or Mario Kart 64. Because it was Mad Katz, that actually broke a part of it and I received a parental lecture on self control. Which admittedly... true, good lesson to learn. In…

Remind me how Nerf Now is earning a spot on this list again?
