Sad.
- Comment on Everyone thinks the Deus Ex remaster looks awful and they're right: 'They really turned those 1999 graphics into 2003 graphics' 1 week ago:
That’s not an opinion but a fact: we are talking about remasters, not remake, the only purpose of a remaster in any art is to be faithful to the original. If many videogamers are confused about this is due to “the industry”.
- Comment on The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games 1 week ago:
The problem is the immature critique and not the quantity.

I’ll reply to you because seems you really care about it, and also because many players have your same position: No, a game doesn’t looks bad just because it’s old, like all the masterpieces ( and I’m not referring to Deus Ex in particular). Many players wrongly think everything needs to be updated to modern aesthetics, but you do not want to touch a great game just for that, that’s a commercial reason only. Real remastereds should just put a crt-shader on top of the game, in most cases.

Useless like most of remasters
- Comment on Does it feel like the PS5's library is *severely* lacking compared to the PS4's around the same time in its lifecycle? 1 week ago:
I have both PS3 and PS4 and they are equally great devices: great and responsive UI, great titles. PS4 still have 90% of games playable offline without patches or accounts. PS5 looks very bad like latest gen console + XONE (but at least XONE have games, and backward compatibility.
- Comment on I just beat Bloodborne for the first today, and it's probably one of the best playthroughs of a video game that i have ever had and stories of one as well. 3 weeks ago:
Same a couple of days ago, great game!
- Comment on Video game addiction in teens likely stems from preexisting mental health issues 5 weeks ago:
“Game addition” is just an ignorant concept, the thing is called ludopathy, and is present in every game with gambling mechanics, mainly online games (mobas, exports, etc).

All the support to destroy zionists but that’s not a great reason to boycott, many brands are everywhere due to how capitalism works.

- Comment on For people who want to play their favorite games but are unable to, what are you currently doing? 2 months ago:
Used market is great, and I prefer true console hardware anyway when emulators are not optimized.

Inside.
- Comment on Game media preservation, where? 4 months ago:
Discs, roms, piracy.
- Comment on Steamdeck or.... 4 months ago:
I understand you, following the hardware market has nothing to do with playing properly, I play on all the platforms I can get my hands on and I prefer systems with a lower setup, so consoles.
- Comment on Steamdeck or.... 4 months ago:
How it’s the emulation? Can you emulate all the games?
- Comment on Steamdeck or.... 4 months ago:
If you already have a decent PC for games a Switch allow you to play more games.

Imagine the same for a blueray film…
- Comment on Would you like to see a mainline Pokemon game created in the old style? 4 months ago:
You’re guessing right, that was the critique, a statement can be a way to critique.
- Comment on Would you like to see a mainline Pokemon game created in the old style? 4 months ago:
So I cannot critique the idea because some fan would like this? I don’t see your point here. I’m interested in videogame as art, not to commercial success.
- Comment on Would you like to see a mainline Pokemon game created in the old style? 4 months ago:
Pixel art will always be great but…do you really need another fucking Pokémon game?
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 4 months ago:
As a “game purist” I’ve a 1080p desktop setup for PC and retro, I’m planning to build a full 4k space in the future for this/next gen; 2k is a particular spot, more work oriented, but it can probably use it to play better well optimized PC games that do not need a 4k gamepad experience (I think it hardly depends on the screen size and how it’s placed). I would also really like to buy a real CRT in the future!
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 4 months ago:
That’s another reason consoles still make sense for many gamers.
PS. From a PC player
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 4 months ago:
Yeah if you care about cinema you definely want a better resolution and considering to buy your UHD versions whenever available, but I could say the same for some modern videogames.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 4 months ago:
Well, 4k is a great technology for gaming and cinema, highly recommended if you have the space.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 4 months ago:
So you don’t have a 4k blu-ray player? Consoles still make sense for many people, despite the obvious market issues we have today.
- Comment on Do you think Square Enix should remake other Final Fantasy entries? 5 months ago:
