- Comment on at this point it just feels vindictive 3 days ago:
It’s the only explanation. Sony are sitting on the IP to sell as an exclusive later down the line. It would be financially stupid of them to release a 60fps patch, even paid, for the PS5 at this point.

Great. The Remedy universe is really compelling, but they’ve always been a quiet achiever as a studio.

I liked the purple prince… Hopefully there are skin options.
- Comment on Veilguard Isn’t the First Dragon Age Game to Face ‘Woke’ Criticism 2 weeks ago:
That’s it. The Alan Wake 2 “race change” actually allows for some interesting links between Quantum Leap and the Alan Wake stories, but it was seen as a DEI situation. If a game is bad, it’s generally bad for reasons beyond DEI or wokeness.

For some reason the second most followed curator on steam is Sweet Baby Inc Detected. Its pretty widespread brain rot.

At what price point would this device be useful? Seems like the sort of device that was made to allow the company to be bought by Google/Microsoft/Meta.

- Comment on [Opinion] Why do so many cozy games suck? 1 month ago:
The brown MilSim apocalypse was a bad time.
Ultimately, these cozy games are so often Indies with a limited scope and budget. The fact that this sort of genre has found the following is a good thing for gaming and Indie devs.
Of course once we reach market saturation and people are fed up with them, they won’t sell as well and new twists on the genre will have to be developed in order to stand out. This is a good thing for gaming and indie devs again.
- Comment on Sony’s Concord reportedly cost $400M to develop | VGC 1 month ago:
Yeah it seems like a podcast saying a number like after talking with a staff member of concord. I would have thought that people below executive/finance suite wouldn’t have that information. Not sure if they talked to someone in there but $400 million is just a bit steep.
Not impossible with tech salaries being what they are, maybe it includes the buyout of the entire studio by Sony in that number though.
- Comment on Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered confirmed by ESRB rating 2 months ago:
Certainly a remaster that we needed.
Bloodborne on the other hand runs beautifully at a buttery smooth 15 - 30 fps. No need to remaster that one.
- Comment on Final Fantasy XVI is out now on Steam and Epic Games Store 2 months ago:
Why do anything other than claim the free games honestly… The Epic launcher needs to improve drastically for it to be viable as a competitor.
- Comment on Is Elder Scrolls 6 doomed to fail? I can't see how it will work 2 months ago:
Financially, I’m not sure if you could say that starfield or fallout 4 was a failure… Look at steamcharts player counts as an indication. All time peak concurrent players: Skyrim: 90,000 Skyrim SE: 79,000 Fallout 4: 470,000 Fallout 76: 72,000 Starfield: 330,000
Sure skyrim has sold on many platforms and over time likely has sold the best, but you can’t say that starfield and fallout 4 were commercial failures. Starfield being on game pass day 1 means the real concurrent numbers would be enormous.
I’ve not played starfield and agree it looks like shit, but TES VI is likely going to sell gangbusters to mainstream audiences given how much Skyrim broke into the mainstream.
- Comment on Astro Bot (PS5) - Launch Trailer 2 months ago:
I would imagine this game is going to be the best implementation of the dualsense haptics yet. Astros Playroom being the current best.
- Comment on The eagerness to grave dance on unpopular games has become a bad habit 2 months ago:
Bad headline but reasonable argument within. Concord probably failed for the reasons people outlined, sure. The point is that peoples fingers aren’t quite as on the pulse of what will make something successful as what we give ourselves credit for.
Personally, I don’t know what makes a hero shooter successful or not. A game like this could be going gangbusters for some reason in 6 months time and I would probably not understand why.

- Comment on [Major_Trenton] Sony's Scam 3 months ago:
PSVR2, you cannot buy replacement parts. There are a number of flimsy parts on this device, bits of plastic that can deform. Once that happens you are out of luck if you aren’t within the warranty.

I still haven’t played the first. It was fine without.

Worth it for the campaign alone at 5x that price. I got the game with no expectations years ago and was very impressed.
- Comment on Braid: Anniversary Edition "sold like dog s***", says creator Jonathan Blow 3 months ago:
I didn’t know that about the creator. I’m fairly anti piracy when it comes to indie games, even if I don’t agree with the devs views. I still hope he gets it and has a bad time with COVID if that is the case though.
- Comment on Braid: Anniversary Edition "sold like dog s***", says creator Jonathan Blow 3 months ago:
I was going to buy braid, but the original was delisted and the anniversary edition is 10x the price on sale. Will have to wait a few years for it to fall into 80% territory again.

And the new high polyheads look quite a bit worse. Tidus would look right at home in Team America in the remaster.
- Comment on Hidetaka Miyazaki 'knows for a fact' other FromSoftware devs want a Bloodborne PC port: 'If I say I want one, I'll get in trouble, but it's nothing I'm opposed to' 5 months ago:
Agreed, it’s not perfect. Never mucked around with them myself, as 60 has been fine enough.
- Comment on Hidetaka Miyazaki 'knows for a fact' other FromSoftware devs want a Bloodborne PC port: 'If I say I want one, I'll get in trouble, but it's nothing I'm opposed to' 5 months ago:
I’m in the camp that 60fps is still acceptable. With the Steam deck I think I’ve even moved to thinking that a stable 45 fps feels smooth enough. 120Hz is a bonus, but I think mods will give you unlocked framerate if the game comes to PC.

Bloodborne 60fps patch is on Silksong levels of hype in the souls community. Guaranteed sales FS.

I believe this is exactly what’s happening. Why would they just patch this in or release a mid-console cycle remaster when they can release a system-selling remake.
- Comment on Adobe roofies all of their customers (Louis Rossmann's reaction) 5 months ago:
Exactly, that would be chicken feed compared to the overall cash flow for LTT alone. He’s got plenty of other YouTube channels and other means of making money.
YouTube ad revenue OF LTT in 2022 was $4.6 million, and sponsors would have paid the channel more than ad revenue was bringing in.
- Comment on Adobe roofies all of their customers (Louis Rossmann's reaction) 5 months ago:
Is Adobe suite a major cost for LTT though? Is the cost of a few licenses, and if it means just one less video goes out per year due to the inefficiencies of learning a new software package, it would not be worth the switch.
