Wow… eFootball is surprisingly low. Not because it isn’t bad nor because of the notion that games are largely overrated, but because the truly bad games often don’t get rated by enough outlets to get an aggregate. In this case I’m guessing that because it’s the carcass of the once proud PES franchise it got more…

No.

When talking about playing with randoms there isn’t any skill involved here. It just amounts to, “Hey, guys, I’m about to jump”. Any schmuck can do that. The problem is that in a random public game you can’t always count on people having mics or people will be off in their own smaller private chats.

Oh, please. The strat is as basic as it gets. There is not an ounce of skill involved here. It’s simply an issue of communication and letting your team know if you are about to jump off. That’s it. I’m not saying it should or shouldn’t be changed, but you make it sound like some pro-level move you need to study. …

I will sometimes do that too. If there is a particular type of side quest that I enjoy I may hunt them all down. And, yeah, I totally ignored the rock stacking stuff after trying the first one.  

Oh god, I too bounced off Fry Cry sooooo hard. I’ve loved those games in the past,

Being completionist would definitely present a problem with the recent AC games. I personally don’t bother with that. I usually start out doing a mix of main and side quests and then when I feel like I’m approaching a point where the game might wear out its welcome I switch solely to main quest line and charge to…

I’m not a hardcore lore guy, but I do pay attention to the story. Though apparently Infinite is an extension of a story line in Halo Wars 2 and I didn’t play those games. Anyway, it’s more complicated than you make it out to be. Pretty much any game or story can be reduced the way you did.

But carts were expensive. Plus games had manuals and all had to be shipped. These days manuals, maps, etc… are long gone outside expensive collectors editions and digital sales are an increasingly large chunk of the pie. These comparisons people keep making to old cart based systems are not apples to apples.

Those old cartridge games were a different animal though.  The carts were a decent chunk of the cost and why some of them were expensive outliers.   

So you seem to despise the series yet have already rushed through the Infinite campaign and claim to remember nothing about it despite having just done it? All of that sounds… odd.

Also.. These comments in the article were from Japanese posters? LOL They want Keanu... So... What they’re saying is, they want whitewashing, just not with Scarlett Johansson?

Sounds almost exactly like the comments everywhere over the news.

Same.  I get great speeds for downloads on my XBox.  Maybe he had a game running?  The speeds are much lower if something is running.  

In my experience it works about the same other than not being able to handle more than one game. Most games work fine, but others do not. For example, I played Immortals Fenyx Rising on the PS5 and I had it hard crash multiple times after being resumed. It would stutter for a bit then crash. Other games will…

This is my take on this issue as well. Some games seem to reconnect fine or allow you to manually force a refresh and others will never properly reconnect which makes me think it is more about the devs of the individual game.

It’s pretty disingenuous to call it broken. It works great for many games. The problems it does have often stem from online connectivity. Some games don’t properly refresh their connections or give the players a way to force a refresh. But then some games handle it fine which makes me think the issues are mostly…

Absolutely. This man was the architect of some of the most impactful consoles in history and thus also the architect of much of my childhood enjoyment.

It is very nice, but if there is one Achilles heel it is that some games with online features don’t properly refresh their connections when resumed.
