  If you really want me to pay $100 for a game, you gotta raise the bar to the fuckin stratosphere compared to what we’re getting now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grand Theft Auto 6 release date has been announced, but the game has been delayed to 2026 | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So to all those other publishers who have already pushed their games release date out to avoid GTA6, you got a new date to avoid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think Square Enix should remake other Final Fantasy entries?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If Square decides to do another FF remake, they’ll either skip over 8 and do 9 instead, or they’ll go back and do 6.

  But they barely released anything for the current generation of consoles.

  This game popped up on my radar a few months back. Definitely gonna check it out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ Series And Graphic Novel Nominated For Hugo Awards⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re absolutely right. If you’ve seen all of Star Trek, repeatedly, there are so many Easter eggs and nods and references. I love it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Roblox CEO tells parents that “if you're not comfortable, don't let your kids be on Roblox”.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure. Seems fair. But they could also stop the pedophiles on their platform too.

  They couldn’t do it 5 years ago either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Are People Buying iPods Again?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Didn’t watch, but I assume it’s because some people like to own their music.

  Old trek. Not new trek. Those lessons are mostly gone from the newer series.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 177 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I enjoyed this game way more than I thought I would. You’re right though, it’s more akin to a Mario 3D world than it is to a LBP game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH - PC Features Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well you do have to give it to him, three graphics options (low/med/high) is more than the two graphic options (low/high) that came in the previous game.

  Rebirth also says it requires 12 gigs of vram, my 3080 is crying.

  Oh cool, more AI crap instead of real performance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2025 will be a make-or-break year for triple-A video games as we know them⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well somebody better tell Ubisoft to delay Assassin’s Creed Shadow till 2026 then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IGN Brazil Interview: 'Final Fantasy VII Rebirth' sales don't disappoint but they can't be exclusive to a single console anymore⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If Sony is willing to put up a bunch of money to get a game made with a 3rd party company like Square, and I’d Square wouldn’t have been able to do the game otherwise, the. This being an exclusive could be the only reason it exists.

  Similar to Alan Wake 2, which I still haven’t played, it’s possible that this game owes its existence to the exclusivity agreement giving the necessary upfront funds to get the game development going.

  But this isn’t like the previous generations of exclusive consoles. These consoles are significantly more expensive, development on video games is significantly more expensive, and the profit margin that you could make from being exclusive to just a single console is significantly lower.

  This is a combination of ballooning budgets, expensive hardware with lower sales, and the PC gaming market looming over Sony and Microsoft’s shoulders.

  Does this mean exclusives will go away? Probably not. If it’s financially beneficial to go exclusive, they’ll do it again.

  But it does mean that the gap between the potential lost revenue of going exclusive and the potential locked in revenue from the exclusivity agreement is currently looking razor thin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Video Games Can’t Afford to Look This Good⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh don’t dismiss that they’re also graphics and programming wizards. They don’t work with the cutting edge, but they run circles around anyone on the lower end, making games look and run better on potato hardware is no easy feat.

  I’d argue the optimization required to make something like that happen is significantly more skillful than all of the crap AAA stuff that takes 250gb and requires shader compilations every boot.

  I sure hope not. This show has been an absolute treasure!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is the first new Naughty Dog IP in ages – WGB⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The bounty dispatcher or whatever is a woman version of budget Snake Plissken and a smoker, but the voice actor sounded like she was lifted from a 1940s movie and had never smoked a day in her life (rare, I know, but still). I expected at least a hint of gruffness from her character and got absolutely zero of that.

  I felt the same way when I heard her voice. Not near rough enough for how that character looked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hideo Kojima seems to be testing Death Stranding 2, but it's not going well: "I fell asleep twice while on a delivery and ran the vehicle into a cliff"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  At the same time, this could be your typical Kojima fuckery where he makes it seem like he’s talking about himself, but he’s actually talking about an exhaustion mechanic from Death Stranding.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indiana Jones and the Great Circle - Review Thread⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Meh I’m still skeptical. These reviews seem awfully generous compared to the gameplay footage I saw.

  Wasn’t Microsoft just talking about how important game preservation was to them?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mortal Kombat 1's Next DLC Wave Reportedly Cancelled⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Four characters, and 3 hours of extra story. But I heard the extra story sucked and wasn’t in any way worth the time or money put into it.

  I’ve been holding off on picking it up until it goes on a deep deep discount because there’s no way I’m paying nearly the full price of the game for a fraction of the content.

  They 100% did this to themselves. Tons of fans loved the precious story DLC’s on the older games. Those were cheaper and way longer. They didn’t justify the extra cost for this DLC in any way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mortal Kombat 1's Next DLC Wave Reportedly Cancelled⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well damn. Maybe they shouldn’t have made the last mediocre DLC $50. Totally killed my interest in the game.

  That, and I hate the modern monetization methods of mortal Kombat. I miss the Krypt.

  Shame Ubisoft doesn’t feel this obligation to gamers. If they did, we’d probably only have 4 assassin’s Creed games
