I know that’s an option, but I just can’t imagine PS Now streaming would work properly for my completely average internet, as even PS4 remote play streaming just refuses to work decently in the same room no matter what I try while every other streaming option (Xbox remote play, xCloud, Steam via both the app and Steam…

I loved this game when it came out, such a unique and beautiful theme for a story. I wish I could revisit it without needing a 360 or PS3 just to do so, but unfortunately it continues to stubbornly evaded Xbox backwards compatibility...Microsoft, please, there are dozens of us! (Or, you know...Switch port??? Stranger…

They could probably explain it away through his powers somehow - whenever he’s in a crowded place or somewhere he might be filmed, he’s learned to use his speed to rapidly vibrate at such a micro level that he appears blurred on film, but it’s too fast for the human eye to notice...or something.

So many authentic features too! The conductor having nefarious plans that put the whole train in danger. The announcer yelling “Get on the train!” at every stop. Preteen boys shamefully masturbating in the corner of every car. And they ran out of budget for the last couple of train stops, so you just kinda have to…

Hot damn, that Mace Windu clip just never gets old. Such an absolute legend of a show.

Tim Rogers (formerly of Kotaku) and a couple others recently did a great Let’s Play of the first couple hours, which is how I found out about the game.

I’ve only tried Wild Arms 3 and 5 so far - WA3 has a really interesting opening segment where the main cast all show up separately in a heist with guns drawn at each other, and you then pick which order to play through their intro / backstory, but after that it just felt old and sluggish in that way that some early…

I’ve done the same thing. I think maybe 80-90% of my gaming time over the past year are either on retro consoles or ports onto modern consoles? I’m enjoying the deep dive back into old games I missed out on at the time (Grandia, Breath of Fire, Wild Arms, etc), but I find that I’m also having an incredibly hard time…

I get that, but to be fair to the game, each palace / chapter is mostly focused on a different type or area of corruption (police, politics, abusive teachers, the art world, etc), each of which has enough potential material and subject depth to be explored much further within its own game or story. They’re certainly…

One of the main events in P5 (and one that’s shown in the first few minutes) is the main character getting viciously beaten and treated terribly by the police, with the detective being shocked at this cruelty. Later plots show corruption in high ranks of law enforcement in conjunction with the political villainry.

It’d be a much better movie if that whole sequence was Supes constantly putting himself in harm’s way to defend citizens rather than entirely focusing on the fight, with the villain asking incredulously why he continues to defend humans and even using that to his advantage. Then the city would see this outsider…

Jesus Christ.

Man of Steel: “Whoa, look guys, Supes had to snap the villain’s neck to save this dumb family who wouldn’t move - isn’t it terrible and traumatic doing the right thing? Isn’t being a hero awful?”
Me: *gestures angrily to the entire metropolitan area he just willingly and casually helped destroy without helping to save…

After seeing some really cool videos on possibilities, my project last weekend was finally taking the plunge and jailbreaking my launch Switch. It was a little terrifying because it’s my main console these days and Nintendo seems so ready to ban people, but I also figured that a) I’m a sucker who will be buying a…

Ugh, fuck off with your hyperbole. I don’t give two shits about the outdated console wars like it’s fucking 2004, neither’s perfect by any stretch. I’m pointing to the facts that Microsoft has recently nearly removed the walls around their console garden through xCloud streaming on all kinds of devices, Game Pass on…

Given Sony’s annoyingly aggressive exclusivity tactics (timed exclusivity and console exclusive DLC for multiplatform games especially), if the tables were turned and they were the ones buying Zenimax, I doubt this would even be an article worth writing - we’d all just be lamenting the future Elder Scrolls, Fallout,…

I totally agree - since the pandemic started I’ve been gradually getting my old SNES, Gamecube, and PS2 to play nice with my 4k tv and modernize their play experience (like wireless controllers and playing PS / GC games off SD cards to prolong the life of the lasers and discs). Just feeling the physical delight from…

Back when I was more into online games, I would always turn off voice chat as soon as possible. I’m not there to hear someone’s music playing over their mic, listening to them mouthbreathing, or to hear a bunch of preteens say racist shit, I’m just trying and failing to be decent at Overwatch (or whatever other game I…

Ooooohhh nice - a tournament movie! With different themed rival teams! Welcome to the writing team!

This shit sounds like it was written by a half-baked Hollywood algorithm, one that was specifically fed Ready Player One because some exec thought it was successful and should be copied.
