@sombre said:The PS5 controller has a battery life of about 3 hours, and that's horrificThis may be very "old man yells at cloud," but I could not care less about controller battery life because I ne...

I prefer Sony's controllers, but that's the least surprising thing in the world considering Playstation has pretty much been my primary gaming console since the PS1 one came out. It's hard to be objec...

@gtxforza: I guess Sony just doesn't see the relatively small amount of additional sales as worthwhile for the hassle of breaking out the online components into a separate thing?

I was pretty interested in all this, so I decided to see if I could go and find some numbers that would help me understand it better.Unfortunately sales data per country is just not a thing that's pub...

With this being two high-profile releases in quick succession, it certainly does seem to be the future. At least the PSN requirement for Ghosts is only for the online functionality. I haven't played t...

@shindig: You're not wrong. Also Humble Bundles etc. It ain't all bad.

@broshmosh said: The graph provided without context, lacking a name and proper explanation of where the axes derive their meaning is hilarious. Can you share the source for this please? I need to unde...

Well, now that it's entered Early Access, I have in fact taken the plunge. What are people thinking of it so far?I've done five runs now. Reached Hecate on my second run but barely lost. Have beat her...

@bigsocrates: I did add an "edit" in the middle of my response above (which maybe you didn't see?) acknowledging that I'm also extremely not clear about how adding a PSN account would actually help th...

@bigsocrates said: PC players don't want to have to join the console peasant network.Hah. You're right about that. The whole "PC Master Race" thing. "We don't want to be in any way affiliated with tho...

@bigsocrates: Your (3) fits the definition of "inconvenience" exactly.And yes, of course (1) is a factor, as we've already discussed; whether this was "malicious" or not, it certainly at least gives t...

@nodima said: A) One of the most fun subreddits in years immediately, resolutely became the most performatively toxic displays of "fandom" I've had no one but myself to blame for witnessing...I found ...

@bigsocrates said: I mean is it stupidity when a game ships to reviewers without a cash shop and then opens one up on launch or shortly after? Is it stupidity when Sony sometimes requires you to perfo...

Looks like the linking thing isn't happening now. I guess everyone just made a big enough stink about it.https://twitter.com/PlayStation/status/1787331667616829929I do try to remember that as a genera...

@undeadpool: No argument here, you're preaching to the choir. Was just pointing out that the base price for an AAA game used to be well over $100 when adjusted for inflation, and even with the recent ...

This was fun to read, comes off as a little unhinged, but in a good way, if that makes sense. And yes, of course all this stuff sucks, the only thing we can do is vote with our wallets and hope other ...

The Warfarer implementation does seem really disappointing. It would have been a really cool class if you could have a discrete set of skills for each equipped weapon, even with needing to sacrifice y...

I'm definitely really looking forward to Hades II, but I think I'm also in a place where I may want to wait for it to be more complete before diving in rather than begin by playing a half-finished ver...
