Criticizing the murderous Israeli government is NOT antisemitic Constantly treating it as such will, in fact, cause a lot of people to slowly devolve into becoming just that, though. It’s embarrassing enough that US politicians do it, but now the St Louis Blues are guilty of it as well.

You ever feel like some multiplatform games just feel like they belong on one platform, above all the others? Examples for me would be Baldur’s Gate 3 feels like a PC game Cyberpunk 2077 feels like a Xbox game Dark Souls feels like a PlayStation game FF Resonance feels like a Nintendo game

That’s not to say they aren’t perfectly serviceable elsewhere, if not on occasion sometimes technically better (whether that be graphically, performance wise, both, or having mod support). It’s just some games feel “right” with certain hardware and feel kind of “off” when played on others.

EA Sports has announced that it is working on a new open-world football game that the company calls "Project Gridiron," which seems to be separate from Madden and College Football. https://bit.ly/4z63a9U

I played some of the Demon’s Souls remake a year or two ago and hated it (despite feeling the PS3 version was ok back in the day). Assumed the same would hold true for Dark Souls remastered, since I didn’t like it at all, the little I played of the OG on 360 when it was new. Pleasantly surprised

So if you own the game on PC or the Xbox one version digitally, you get 50% off the new one, no other strings attached. Yet, for people who own the PS4 version digitally, they only get 30% unless they PS+. PS+ is mandated to get the same discount everyone else gets. That’s some horse shit.

The Wolf Among Us Remastered will be 50% off for owners of the original game (digitally). Game is priced at $24.99 telltale.com/games/the-wo...

Suikoden 1 100% hard mode cleared. I’ll need to do the same on Suikoden 2 in order to get the platinum, but that’ll have to wait a bit. Outside of FF XIV, I think I’m going to give the PS5 and XSX a rest for a few months and focus on Switch 2 and PC.

My suikoden time on PlayStation is going be way off the mark, lol. I keep meaning to play it and then get distracted and do something else. Probably have at least 70 hours of AFK time on it. Am near the end of my 100% hard mode run for Suikoden 1 though.

Every now and then, you run into someone so disconnected from reality, that it’s painful to witness. Even more so, when it is someone who, at least on the surface, appears to be an otherwise good person.

I respect the sentiment, but this is little more than performative pandering. If it was anything more than that, this game would be a Nintendo exclusive.

An explanation on why Big Walk isn't available on Xbox. bigwalk.game/xbox

The game is on PC, Mac, PS5, and Switch 2. Microsoft, Apple, and Sony have all indirectly played a role in what Israel is doing. If you’re going to boycott Xbox, fine, I can respect it. Just don’t sit there and pretend to stand for something and then do it half assed, like this.

How old were you when Ocarina of Time came out on the Nintendo 64? And how old are you now with the remake releasing on November 5th?

Real gamers play games, not platforms. When it comes to how and where you play them, go with the one that makes the most sense for you. The games have always been and will always be the entire point. Doesn’t need to be any deeper than that.

While I’m not happy to see PlayStation and Xbox console sales hit such lows, at the same time, I am relieved to see that most people are not stupid enough to pay the current prices for what is 6 year old hardware at this point.

The four GREATEST gaming consoles of all time! PlayStation 2 Xbox 360 Nintendo Switch Super Nintendo Proof that at the end of the day, the GAMES are the key. These systems were loaded with legendary games!

There have been plenty of amazing consoles and I don’t really think any of the historical major players (Sega, Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony) have ever actually made a *bad* console. Unsuccessful ones, sure, but even those weren’t bad. These are just the best because they had the best games.

I hope Sony looks beyond the surface level of disc vs digital sales, because if they don’t, they really are about to set the brand ablaze in 2028. If 2-5 out of 10 people who would have bought your game at launch don’t, that disincentivizes the remaining players from buying it too.

What I mean by this, is it removes FOMO to a fairly large degree. Some people buy games at launch solely for the social experience of playing when the largest number of people are. Losing 30% of those people in one swoop will have a cascading effect on the rest. Don’t think it won’t.

People do not like paying $70-$80 for a game. If the social aspect is significantly lessened, many of those same people will simply wait for a sale, if they end up buying at all. The only people left buying at launch would be the diehard fans of a franchise. Would be catastrophic for new IP.

One of the worst things about society and the media at large is the sensationalism. The actions of one are not representative of the whole and it’s long overdue for us to stop acting like they are. It’s so tiresome.

Completely unnoticeable during normal use, but I decided to play one of those OLED burn in test videos on YouTube for my LG C2 and I have clearly played way too much Final Fantasy XIV. 😅

Apparently Sony is selling off their VR patents to Meta. Not unexpected, but still hate to hear it. I never owned a VR 1 and have been contemplating getting a VR 2, but felt like they dropped the ball not being compatible with VR 1 games. Damn shame. May still get one if they clearance them.

PC - most freedom, can be best or worst platform, depending on set up PS5 pro - great with resolution and performance Xbox Series X - great with resolution + has play anywhere PS5 - great with performance Xbox Series S - solid budget option Switch 2 - the GOAT

In regards to the Series X and the base PS5, they are extremely comparable. So much so, that for the average person, they will not even perceive a difference. However, when one does have an edge over the other, it’s usually Xbox having the higher native resolution or PS5 dropping 1-2 frames less.

And here I thought people claiming Sony hated their player base were only joking 😳

Sony has filed a patent that could make bosses in Soulslike games even harder The new system would let bosses adapt to your moves, weapons and playstyle in real time

This is not hyperbole. If you make fun of a child’s suicide, you have zero value. You are not a human being. You do not deserve any rights. You should be ostracized. This is not up for debate.

Growing up when “a night and day difference” actually meant something, really makes it difficult to take anyone seriously when they say that about something that’s maybe a 5-10% improvement.

Real talk, if you’re going to even contemplate spending $1500 on a gaming device, get a PC. It’s not even a question at that point. Playing GTA 6 a year earlier is not worth $1500. No console is worth $1000, let alone $1500. 6 and Helix MAY be, but current gen? L O FUCKING L

GameStop is changing the price of their preowned PlayStation 5 Pro consoles to $1399.99 / $1499.99 "the preowned console will have a higher price than the new console - this is intentional."

I really do hate when these HD compilations decide to only have one trophy or achievement list for multiple games. Especially when they basically require you to get 100% in each one, in order to earn the single platinum/mythic. Straight ass, lol.

Sony really wants me to buy Wolverine, with all these notifications they send out on PS5. I will end up getting it, but it was never going to be a day 1 game for me anyway. Kind of always intended to snag a physical copy for 40 bucks off a GameFly sale here in a few months.

Apparently the rules of the internet are that bigots can do and say whatever they want to with impunity, but the second you clap back and tell one to deep throat a pistol, you’re the problem

My personal top 10 video game franchises of all time: 1) Legend of Zelda 2) Final Fantasy 3) Kingdom Hearts 4) Fallout 5) Mass Effect 6) God of War 7) Elder Scrolls 8) Fire Emblem 9) Dragon Quest 10) Tales of & Fable (tied) Honorable mentions: Resident Evil and Bioshock What are yours?

If you play Final Fantasy XIV on console and need a better way to communicate, get this. Works perfectly.
