- Comment on GOG when available, but what should I choose between PS5 physical and Steam when not? 5 hours ago:
Just get them on Steam and then if the day ever comes that Valve yanks them away from you it’ll be morally acceptable to pirate everything you’ve already bought.
- Comment on Hands-on with the Retroid Pocket 6; The 8GB Sweet Spot (my own article/interview!) 8 hours ago:
I bought a Retroid 4 Pro and a 5 not long after they launched and found both were far too uncomfortable for me to use. Now I play lightweight retro games on my TrimUI Brick and more demanding games on my ROG Ally.
- Comment on Epic Games unveils Launcher V2 in re-attempt to topple Steam, says redesigned storefront is up to 6.5x faster — promises player profiles, user reviews, universal controller support, and much more 1 day ago:
FWIW a lot of games on Steam are also entirely DRM-free it’s just not overly obvious without checking on PCGamingWiki.
- Comment on Epic Games unveils Launcher V2 in re-attempt to topple Steam, says redesigned storefront is up to 6.5x faster — promises player profiles, user reviews, universal controller support, and much more 1 day ago:
I actually don’t care in the slightest about play profiles, reviews, etc. Most of Steam is just useless bloat to me. The problem with Epic is how damn laggy it is.
- Comment on Analysts Say Video Game Hardware Isn't Getting Cheaper Anytime Soon 1 week ago:
I have a ROG Ally, a decent PC and a big enough backlog of games to ride this out.
- Comment on Electric cars are starting to take over the world 1 week ago:
Before every long journey I take I always check the travel time and cost of going on the train and it is almost always longer and more expensive than just driving myself there. Where’s the sense in that at all?
- Comment on Electric cars are starting to take over the world 1 week ago:
Must be nice to live in a country with a competent public transport network.
- Comment on Electric cars are starting to take over the world 1 week ago:
They’re taking off in China specifically.
- Comment on Xbox pulls Gears video featuring a PS5 logo, 24 hours after announcing it as an exclusive 1 week ago:
It’s the same as when Sony announced Demon’s Souls with a “also on PC” trailer.
- Comment on Xbox pulls Gears video featuring a PS5 logo, 24 hours after announcing it as an exclusive 1 week ago:
Sony don’t deserve Xbox games now they’ve decided to yank away their first party games from the PC audience.
- Comment on Persona 4 Revival Gets February 2027 Release Date And New Gameplay Trailer 1 week ago:
As someone who played P4G for the first time last year it really doesn’t need a remake.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
So this is why they delisted the original from Steam. Fuck them.
- Comment on Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance - Official Reveal Trailer 2 weeks ago:
Last I checked it still ran like shit. Really unacceptable and it’s put me off Capcom entirely. The crazy thing is it genuinely looks worse than World did and yet runs at a fraction of the frame rate.
- Comment on Valve Reaffirms Steam Machine Summer Launch 2 weeks ago:
I think I’m more likely going to buy the Playnix console of it comes back in stock. The Steam Machine won’t fit in my TV unit and based on the reviews of the Steam Controller I’m not that bothered by its inclusion.
- Comment on What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ?? 2 weeks ago:
I never got past this part as a child. That and the cardboard cutout K. Rool boss fight were as far as I got.
- Comment on What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ?? 2 weeks ago:
Donkey Kong 64 is a game I see constantly criticised but it was always one of my top N64 games.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
I bought the 1TB Deck Oled about 6 months ago for £660 but returned it and bought a £300 ROG Ally instead. Personally I think it’s time the Deck was updated a little bit. It’s too big and bulky for my liking.
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 4 weeks ago:
That’s about the only positive I can think of for the game but mindless exploration really doesn’t appeal to me.
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 4 weeks ago:
Breath of the Wild. A big empty open world with a few fetch quests thrown in. The shrine puzzles are all trivially easy they’re just not fun and the four main dungeons are just a joke.
- Comment on What do I need to know about GrapheneOS? 5 weeks ago:
NFC payments work flawlessly with Curve Pay. Nor brilliant for privacy but handy for convenience.
- Comment on What gaming console you owned disappointed you the most and why ? 5 weeks ago:
Switch is easily my least played console. Its library was nearly entirely made up of games I already played on the Wii U. On top of that they had the cheek to require a subscription to play online. No thanks.
- Comment on [PlayStation] [DRM] Licenses now requires an online check-in every 30 days. 1 month ago:
Further reinforcing my decision to hard dump Sony after the PS4.
- Comment on Playnix: Boutique Linux PC released with better gaming performance than Valve Steam Machine 2 months ago:
Volume wise maybe but it’s low enough to fit in a standard TV unit. The boxy design of the Steam Machine doesn’t look very compact to me.
- Comment on Revisiting the last truly great Call of Duty: Why a lot of people are playing a seven-year-old CoD again. 2 months ago:
People are getting nostalgic for a CoD game released WAY after I stopped playing and I feel fucking old.
- Comment on PS6 and Xbox Project Helix "will start at a 50% higher price" than PS5 and Xbox Series X, predict analysts following Sony price hike – and $999 "is not impossible" 2 months ago:
PS5 was too much day one at £400 and it’s only gone up since. What happened to the days of sub-£200 consoles later in their lifespan?
- Comment on Google's Gemini will make its way into Dragon Quest X to power a "Chatty Slimey" AI companion, Square Enix has announced 2 months ago:
I’ve only ever played DGXI and it really isn’t very good. Generic gameplay and plot that just becomes tedious to play after a few hours. You’re not missing out.
- Comment on 3 months ago:
They weren’t an outside studio though they were owned by Sony. I don’t think there was really any fear of then doing a bad job considering how good the Demon’s Souls remake was.
- Comment on Jason Schreier says Sony is backing away from putting single player games on PC 3 months ago:
Sony turned so anti-consumer due to their PS4 dominance that even with a fairly modest digital library of games I still bailed to PC when the PS5 came around.
- Comment on 'We Thought It Would Be Fun': Nintendo Has a Whole FAQ on Why It's Selling Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Separately for $20 Each - IGN 3 months ago:
Even if you really want to play on Switch there are CFW options that enable GBA emulation.
- Comment on Spotify’s 3rd price hike in 2.5 years hints at potential new normal 5 months ago:
Presumably Symfonium is streaming lossless files whereas Spotify probably isn’t. That and Spotify is probably caching a lot more.
