I’m buying the disc version of the PS5 so that I can get this game pre-owned and not have that money go to Rowling. WB is fine, they are doing business, they have their flaws, but they started this game well before JK put her own ass against the fan and dropped a big one, and now they are just hoping some people will…

Yes, and I liked the original 2013 Lara better, and she only got more instagram-perfect as the trilogy continued. But it didn’t ruin my experience then, and it won’t now.

Good luck finding vendors that are willing to risk their employees while also paying the booth cost and union drayage fees for a stunted audience that likely won’t be particularly excited about touching products or getting close to a half-crowded booth. My experience says that booths with lots of customers do better…

No problem, the most frustrating thing about this generation is that you have to really carefully read the press releases about how upgrades vs backcompat vs being left in the dust. And even if you read it carefully, somehow at least one major question doesn’t get answered (like, for instance, exactly what the…

If you buy Miles Morales, you can pay to upgrade a ps4 SM18, regardless of what console you buy Miles on.

It’s more noob-friendly now than it ever was at launch. You’ve got tutorial missions now that don’t just tell you how to do things, but also what you might want to do, and why you might use certain technologies. Initially there was all this stuff in the game that might be challenging to construct, and no explanation…

I haven’t tried it in crossplay, but when they first added the coop exploration mode I found it super easy to meet up with my brother. I don’t remember the pathway to do it, but I’m going to be figuring it out again soon I guess.

Come back in two weeks then, brah.

The social stealth of Liberation was so good, I wish they would implement something similar again. I guess they kind of are with WatchDogs Legion..

I’m more worried about all the free upgrades for my physical collection. Am I just putting in the disc to download the PS5 version? And then I assume I need the disc for rights management. This would be the easiest way, but that doesn’t mean it’s the way it’s gonna go.

The launch lineup for the PS4 was WAY worse, and they didn’t have any for of backcompat, or PSNow, but I got one at launch and had a great time with Resogun and Warframe until Black Flag launched. The pS5 has a much better first party lineup, has ps4 backcompat and a bunch of 3rd party titles in the first few months,…

They said it was an expansion and then rolled that back. What he really meant was that it is built on the same engine. It’s a 1.5, a la Uncharted’s Lost Legacy. It’s a full story, but the guts are the same, which is how they were able to turn it around in time.

You can’t buy used games or borrow games on a digital only console, so a little loss on the hardware is more than made up for by them getting money EVERY time you buy something.

I run a company with 7 employees and it’s hard enough to course correct when we’re all basically on the same page, even though there are so few of us. We’ve never had any misconduct issues or anything, but we have had to pivot, especially during this pandemic, and keeping everyone on board with changes is always tough.

It is developed by Koei Tecmo. It’s a Nintendo IP, but it isn’t developed by Nintendo. I suppose that might make it a 2nd party game, but that’s more of a colloquial term.

Haha, they definitely stole your idea, I think.

I really wanted a game (or the BOTW DLC) to cover the events of the Calamity, but had given up hope on that, since Nintendo is generally picky about that sort of thing.

Both. You play as a sentient ball of particle effects, but that character transforms into a sexy anime girl as a way to humanize the character.

This concept sounds fantastic, and I would absolutely play it.

I’ve also been thinking about how they could reinvent the 3d game model, and the idea I came up with was “F-Zero but you’re Sonic”. So the controls are throttle/steering based, as opposed to push up to go forward, and the levels are built as branching and…

Without a doubt, the Switch is all I’ve ever wanted from a handheld console. When I first got it I used the dock more often, but not so much in the last couple of years. I end up playing the indie platformers that would catch my attention (but not my cash) on the PS4, and I love it.
