I completely agree. I actually started replaying TTYD a few months ago, having not played it since it first came out, and...it’s a good game, maybe great in some places, but nowhere near the levels that the fandom holds it up to. I think it’s easy for rose-colored glasses to cover up a lot of rough spots and…

So can we all be honest with the fact that a) Beyond Good and Evil, while certainly an interesting game at the time, is overrated and had very little impact on the medium; b) BGaE 2, from what we’ve seen in the trailers with the swearing ape guy, seems to carry over little of what made the first game interesting and…

I totally get that. A while ago I had to take a long hard look at the ‘infinite’ games I play to decide if they were worthwhile compared to finite games, which I often feel more satisfied with even with less time invested. I cut most of those games out of my rotation, they just weren’t worth it - very few have a…

Thanks. I really missed the chance to add something about breaking down into hysterics and madness if I gaze directly at it, but oh well.

Even though my backlog is infinite and monstrous as a Lovecraftian god, I, a fool, finally gave in and bought Persona 5 Royal after months of resisting its stylish temptations (“But it was on sale!” my shame proclaims in its defense). Even though I already spent over a hundred hours on the original, and the countless…

Great to know! Hopefully the Xbox Series S/X will have a simple option to prioritize external HDDs for older game installations so you don’t have to micromanage your data.

Sorry, I was just going off memory - I know MvC is around 70, and I remembered KI being unusually large for an arcade fighter (but then again, even Battletoads is 10gb, so what do I know).

First off, yes, 500gb is some absolute nonsense for a next gen console. But as someone who’s been using his launch PS4 with its measly 500gb of storage lately to catch up on some exclusives, it’s not the end of the world for most players. You won’t be able to have a bunch of massive AAA games loaded on there at a…

Definitely seems designed for this crowd:

I love Game Pass, but my data cap definitely keeps me from pulling the trigger on some of the largest games. I was feeling nostalgic after the FFXVI reveal and thought I’d give XV another chance, but not for an insane 135gb. Killer Instinct and MvC Infinite both look worth a shot, but 70gb each seems heavy for simple…

I think you nailed the strange hypocrisy on the head. Why would anyone assume that a set of deities shared only the background of the narrow population who worship them, when they allegedly created and support all peoples? But then again, plenty of people still imagine Jesus as the only white guy with blue eyes in the…

Super Princess Peach 2?! Now with all new types of emotions, as well as immersive gameplay and player feedback using HD Rumble!

AHA! I tinkered with it some more tonight and finally have a buttery smooth streaming experience! I used the guide in the link below to install Moonlight on my Steam Link, which streams from the Geforce Experience app if your PC has an Nvidia card. I spent the last couple of hours playing Hades and Sekiro in high…

That’s frustrating. I kept hoping that it was just some peculiarity of my setup causing issues, but it’s too bad that you’re dealing with it too. I wish Steam had continued to support and improve the Steam Link experience, it’s such a great idea.

“New expanded story includes the original villain, the Puddler! Fight back as he threatens to drown NYC with gorgeous HDR reflections!”

I’ve been a console player for most of my life, with a couple notable exceptions - I got into PC gaming for a bit when I got my hand-me-down desktop in like 5th grade, which aside from lots of Age of Empires is also how I first played through FF7, of all things. But since almost all of my work has always been at a…

Now that Microsoft has a direct financial stake in those games and will want to ensure a return on a gigantic investment, it becomes some tricky math for them. They’ll obviously want to beef up Xbox’s exclusive lineup to gain ground with PS5, but they would also have to consider how many copies they could sell on PS5…

It’s gotten so out of hand, I don’t even feel bad for adblocking the shit out of all the Giz sites, whereas they used to be one of the few sites I whitelisted. I can’t stand reading the sites on my phone though because it’s exactly like your gif (and somehow even worse if I try to comment), which is really frustrating.

I totally agree, it’s bound to happen for many of their games given the apparent success of their PC ports. It’s frustrating to watch Sony spend the last few years hammering Microsoft for the Xbox’s lack of exclusives, then start to discover the merits of PC ports and consumer choice for themselves, only to backpedal…

No worries. I agree that it would make all the sense in the world to bring more of their games to PC, but then again, I’d have assumed Bloodborne would’ve been ported by now so who knows.
