Holy crap I missed that part of the review. What a horrible design decision. I’m in the same boat where I’m lucky if I can sit down and play for an hour or two. I am assuming by “no save” means you can’t switch games, but you could pause and resume later, but still, I might be able to play 2-3 nights a week for an…

A lot of reviews point out the saving thing as an issue. Wouldn't be surprised if they add a "save room" or something similar in an update at some point.

Dead Space is already way ahead of you with body language and body HUD. It’s such a shame that not many games incorporate these brilliant innovations.

Ugh, I hate saying this but maybe you’re just not a great gamer?

Yup, I agree on all of your points. It’s 2021. Let’s see what else devs can come up with. Let’s see our characters see a noticeable dip in body language. Maybe some dialogue. Change in music. Clothes being damaged by layers. More blood. In futuristic titles, body status huds. Or maybe go even deeper by not bothering…

A demo is a glorified advertisement, and if they only want to run their ad for 8 hours then that’s a perfectly legitimate marketing decision. Unless they’re taking your money, I don’t think they owe anyone anything.

Can we reserve phrases like “the dumbest shit ever” for dumber shit than this? Like, this is some “EA is the worst company in America” level hyperbole. Like, it’s a fucking demo.

I remember back when online was just a secular component of games. Then it started becoming the main part of a lot of games, relegating offline gaming to the dark corner. I mostly stuck to Single Player campaigns, and only do things like Couch Co-op with fam/friends but that’s about it. When a game forces you to have…

that’s distinctly possible, it might also be the start of Sony playing ball with Microsoft to keep Bethesda titles on Sony platforms going forward. I’ve theorized about Microsoft using them as a bargaining chip but I was not expecting anything like this so soon.

I suspect this is Sony taking the opportunity to gather some first-hand data about the tradeoffs of day-one launches on a subscription platform. They’ve claimed they aren’t considering doing a true Game Pass rival (as in Sony 1P titles on day one), but I think they’re probably starting to recognize that if Microsoft…

Like most people, I’m not on Twitter. The only reason it feels inescapable to me is because media people keep reporting on it like it matters.

Basically, it’s FF7 as you remember it, not as it actually looks. Cool.

When you factor in all the PS4 games people might have missed originally that are being given upgrades (or straight up ps5 versions) and new releases that are objectively better on a PS5 there is actually quite a bit to play on a ps5. And some of them are even free if you already own the PS4 version (RB6 seige was a…

Probably not, but I have a couple of spare 1440/165 monitors, and I’ll probably give him my Index as well, considering I’ve used it 3 times in 10 months. A system like that will last him far into the foreseeable future. I received a decent bonus this year from working obscene hours and he’s a good kid that works hard…

gamers not understanding that publishers =/= development studios AND that development studios =/= certain people and teams drives me absolutely fkin crazy

Here is an indisputable fact of the internet:

That’s some Olympic level mental gymnastics you just did to somehow tie this to videogames lol.

This wasn’t a race to release, it was planned. There are a lot of moving parts, the design was done, manufacturing on parts had already started. Contracts have been signed and people need to get paid.

If I had to guess, I’d say it’s because it’s easier for cosplayers to be seen as not being associated with the IP or company in question, while it is less obvious for pictures, movies, music, and clothing. At least, for here in the US. Often times the draw to the cosplay is also the "making progress", which adds…
