honestly i didn't find this surprising. it truly sucks for those who don't have access due to a lack of PSN- but Sony isn't porting games because it's the right thing to do- they're doing it because ...

i can recall setting a mental reminder to purchase some version of an Xbox once Hellblade 2 was announced. going into this past holiday season, i still thought that was going to happen. i thought for ...

while i'm glad those with legit grievances appear to have those ameliorated (folks losing access to something they've purchased is completely unacceptable); i'm kinda walking away from this situation ...

@ben_h: from what i understand the bottom for podcast ads has really fallen out, so i think a lot of networks are pushing broader programmatic buys to cast a wider net.the tech seems pretty braindead ...

yeah, i get some real garbage from programmatic ads.kinda feels like they're poisoning the well with this stuff- my 'skip 30 seconds ahead' reflexes have never been sharper.

welp, on the other side of it now. i think my back of the box quote for my time with DD2 would be:"usually fun; never profound."this is probably the strongest 7.9 out of 10 i've ever played. i'm reall...

yeah, they got me!DD has been that game/franchise i've never played despite my circle of favorite critics constantly singing its praises. and i'll be honest, from this place of self- admitted deep ig...

nah, it'll come out (eventually).

yeah, a bit difficult to make a clean rec given the crossgen nature of this era. but i really did love Returnal and Baldur's Gate 3.

yeah, generally i like emotionally complex/challenging stuff. it isn't required obviously, but that tends to lean towards the more 'mature' end of the spectrum.

Baldur's Gate 3 was fucking up my shit for a good stretch. honestly it kind of feels like i'm still in deficit (and that was in like, oct 2023 hah).

evergreen:

weird vibes all around on this one. feels a bit like Xbox was caught on back-foot with the leak hysteria, but then responded in a overly buttoned-up and stiff fashion (Phil is usually pretty good at p...

not going to lie- i'm not a nostalgic gamer. most of my favorite games fall within a constant rolling window of the last 5 years, so i can't say i empathetically relate. but you should take comfort in...

@zombiepie said:I would still call a layoff of 80+ people significant enough to raise a Ship of Theseus question of, what's in a name if the people that made the games you like are gone. yeah- wikipe...

my take re: Microsoft has always been- it isn't a question of capital. they've stacked the paper. and it isn't even a matter of product or hardware- at various points they've delivered performant prod...

my plan was to buy an Xbox for Hellblade 2- so while it remains to be seen if something like that makes its way to PS5- Microsoft wouldn't be wrong to presume fans of single-player 3rd person narrativ...

well-@sombre said: So, coming to BG3. It seems like it's got one thing I love (RPG systems) and one thing I hate (The overuse of 5e mechanics). it's 5e all the way down, so if that's what grinds your...

sorry to hear about your gaming ennui!(and thus marks my first opportunity to use that word since finally metabolizing its meaning)it's different for everyone, but i find the best medicine for me in ...
