Wasn’t gonna take it as an insult but I totally get why you felt the need to say as much. I get it. It’s not a thing most people consider. It’s a shame because I feel like it is an important issue. Games as an art form deserve to be preserved and studied for years to come. Leaving them in the past to be forgotten is a…

Not really angry in any way. But okay dude, I’ll get right on that.

Really? Like what? I’m genuinely curious.

There is a real tragic irony in that a PS3 game is unable to run on the PS4 because of a lack of processing power.

Sure, I don’t deny that. But it’s power was knee capped by how foreign it was as a piece of hardware. The thing was notorious for being hard to work with and that’s why most developers flocked to more familiar hardware with the Xbox 360.

Man am I glad to hear that. I was worried it was me. I guess I just got so used to Dark Souls and Bloodborne was more or less the same thing so it was easy to pick up. Nioh isn’t exactly the same and I just can’t seem to get into it. I really want to but I dunno. It feels a little more like Ninja Gaiden than Dark…

I’m actually having a bit of a discussion on another article about how emulating PS3 games is really hard because of the cell processor and how Sony shot themselves in the foot over that. I’m glad to see PS3 emulation is getting there but it’s a real shame it is so much harder to do than every other console because…

I read once that developers basically had to code backwards to use the cell processor. Like I can’t deny it was really powerful but it was also a little too out there. Sony really dropped the ball with the PS3 in general. Like, they managed to get their shit together by 2009 but by that point a lot of the damage was…

I’m kinda expecting Sony to blow most of their good will when they announce the PS5. I mean, it happened to them with the PS3 and it happened to MS with the Xbox One reveal. Success is poison to these guys because it makes them cocky. I hope I’m wrong but this shit usually alternates with the winners. It would be a…

Dude, Like I said, I’m a huge fan of Dark Souls. I figured I’d be in the mindset but just never got there. I’m sure I will eventually but I just am not right now. I guess I didn’t make it clear in my comment but I fully intend to return to Nioh. Just not right now. Part of it is also it’s world and story didn’t grab…

I’m wondering if they’ll remedy that with future updates. Currently the Switch’s OS is very bare bones and feels like there are features that will be added later. At least I hope that is the case, otherwise yeah, that is bullshit. The main reason I got the Switch was Metroid Prime 4 and it’d be a real lost opportunity…

Oh I know, but even then it can be a hassle. Some of those games just don’t want to work. But at least it’s doable on windows. I just wish I could more easily access some old Playstation 1-2, N64, Gamecube and Wii games. It was a huge shock and pleasant surprise when they announced original Xbox games would be…

I totally get you here. Sometimes you just wanna get through a game without having to struggle. Unless it’s a game like Dark Souls where the difficulty is fundamentally linked to the experience the game shouldn’t mock you for wanting to take it easy and just enjoy the game. I recently started playing Nioh and I really…

Have you seen the streaming services for games? They’re all objectively terrible. If that is the future of gaming count me the hell out. Maybe some day it will be good but the technology and internet infrastructure (in the US at least) simply is not there. I know it’s a massive undertaking but every other art form at…

You really gotta admire Microsoft’s commitment to backwards compatibility. They’re really going for it. Even more so than Nintendo, who is kind of the king of backwards compatibility. It really frustrates me that Sony isn’t even really trying. There are so many games from the past that are just being lost to time…

Yeah, I was just about to comment the same thing.

It really boggles my mind that he thinks it’s a good idea to attack the branch of law enforcement that is investigating him. Typically pissing off the man is a good way to motivate them to take you down.

There’s also the fact that Bungie seems to have openly hated towards the end of their dealings with Microsoft to being under their hand which I don’t think has ever been addressed.

I knew it was an ill omen when Bungie signed on with Activison way back in 2012. People said Activison would just publish and it’d be a true Bungie game but, I mean, come on. Look what Activision did to the once highly regarded and well loved CoD series. Those games used to be great war shooters that were…

True, and for my money most productions that are incredibly big tend to lose any sort of personality due to their need to appeal to everybody. I think that’s my real problem here. Destiny has to appeal to everybody due to how expensive it is and as such doesn’t have much of a voice or style of it’s own.
