Same here. If I could somehow get my Steam Link to work with GOG, I’d never have to open Steam again.

Yeah, but I’m sure an organization focused on retro games would be pretty skilled at replacing them if needed. My understanding is that’s pretty easy.

*sees a giant bin full of beautiful FF6 cartridges, longs for one himself, for a moment wishes he was a Japanese teenager, feels concerned about that thought, turns on SNES Classic and starts playing the rom instead*

Yeehaw, time to install this and only make it a third through again when I realize that it all feels like a waste of time and I don’t care about any of the characters. Good thing I’ve got the first RDR on my Xbox One as well.

Weird, I’ve been using PC Game Pass for a few months and haven’t had any issues with it. Sorry you haven’t been able to enjoy it.

For real! Besides FF7 Remake I haven’t touched my PS4 in ages, because I’ve been loving the Game Pass and backwards compatible selection so much on Xbox.

Just wait for the pullup challenge later in the game, which switches up the button pattern randomly and is even more difficult. I spent a long while earning that second champion belt this morning.

I like that they specifically called out countries and states that are getting absolutely hammered. What an insane move that only puts their staff in danger.

Besides mainlining the FF7 Remake like the raw nostalgia cocaine that it is, I’ve been avoiding the rest of my shiny new game backlog (sorry, Control and Disco Elysium) by repeating one of my worst recurring gaming habits: sampling an hour or so of half a dozen classic JRPGs I’ve wanted to play in order to see what…

I loved this scene, but I feel like Cloud was too immediately into the dancing as soon as he starts moving. It would have been more in character for him to be moving a little more reluctantly before giving in to the music. That being said, I think the idea that someone watched Cloud fighting and realized that his…

Sweet Jesus. They did it. The crazy bastards finally did it. They’ve given us the keys to the whole damn thing. Can’t wait to see what maniacal worlds the best creators can put us through.

Personally, I’m wanting the opposite - a 64 remake in Odyssey.

I know this is the deals page (which lives and dies by commerce clicks), but considering something like 80% of the US population lives paycheck-to-paycheck and most don’t have $400 to cover an unexpected emergency even when the economy’s not falling apart in a global pandemic with no visible end, I’m going to say that…

So true. I’ve been really surprised at just how smoothly and well this gorgeous game runs on my base PS4, so I kind of wonder if they had to “over” optimize some of the larger and more complex areas (Sectors 5 & 7, Wall Market, etc) just to keep the framerate stable. Given the complexity and scope of the game, maybe…

Very good point, I didn’t think about photogrammetry! 

Wish the air conditioning modelers could’ve helped out the NPC modelers, because...holy shit, they’re a mixed bag. And so generic. It really pulls me out of the immersion when my intricately-detailed-super-HD-protag-with-a-seven-foot-long-sword is getting quests from a bland custom character from THPS 4.

I get that. I watched the OG series last summer when it was put on Netflix, and...it was certainly...something. (It gives me a very similar reaction to trying to decipher Kingdom Hearts)

I’m not here to complain or sob, just...share, I guess. I got laid off yesterday from the first place I’ve ever been proud to work for, a place where I’d bought into the company culture and thought I’d done well. But projects were slowing down, so a 10% staff cut across the board was deemed necessary by someone much…

Instead of the angels, shouldn't each one just show Shinji, REI, or Asuka curled up in a ball having a crippling existential crisis? And nothing you do can pull them out of it?

All I want is some goddamn folders.
