30 FPS and heavy motion blur put me off. Maybe it was just how it was recorded I guess.

Holier than thou attitude from new vegans whose world view changed overnight and cognitive dissonance on the part of non vegan with the need to deflec than to make substantial changes.

GTA 4. Currently playing TBoGT. I somehow forgot how cool the DLCs were. I’m quite impressed by Luis and the side content added in the DLC. If you squint enough parts of TBoGT already feel a bit like GTA 5. Luis also mentions vice city so I wonder if we’ll see him in GTA 6.
- Comment on EXCLUSIVE: Xbox President Sarah Bond has set up a new team dedicated to game preservation and forward compatibility 2 months ago:
I wonder if MSFT would build an Xbox app that emulates Xbox, 360 and Xbox One on PC, making it possible to circumvent the need of cross saves/cross progression of older games. Currently it is annoying that you can’t just pick up a game on Xbox and continue playing it on your handheld gaming device for most games.

What if I’m indeed mediocre at the thing and this only encourages to believe in my self inflated ego and carry on like normal?

GTA IV and NFS Unbound on Rog Ally.
I’ll be honest, I was too young to understand GTA IV’s lore back then, and I was mainly for barely getting 20 FPS and the physics system of the game. But now when I actually listen to the dialogues and radio station, man it sounds like they saw what America would be like in 2020s a decade early. “We should reduce minimum wage and remove rights of citizens to fight against the illegal immigration crisis”. Damn.

This from 360 gen and Arkham Knight from Xbox One/PS4 still look incredible.

- Comment on Remedy says its Max Payne remakes are ‘a big, big project’ | VGC 8 months ago:
Yeah you’re right. Doom Eternal is great. I’m playing Metro series and even that’s pretty good in terms of balancing story and gameplay.
It’s just that coming from Remedy, Max Payne’s basic formula of corridor shooter probably doesn’t match their other games anymore, so I’m curious to see how they’re going to remake it.
- Comment on Remedy says its Max Payne remakes are ‘a big, big project’ | VGC 8 months ago:
Me too. Max Payne 3 is like the previous entries, just a bit not focus on close range corridor shooting with cover mechanics. Similar to previous entries but with a very stylized story telling.
- Comment on Remedy says its Max Payne remakes are ‘a big, big project’ | VGC 8 months ago:
It’ll be interesting to see how a linear shooter from back then would translate to today’s time. Would it be more like Last of Us where each encounter is thrilling and tense, or would it be like Max Payne 3/Uncharted 4 where you move from one level to another with a moving plot line.

Don’t know about their milk, but they surely knead some great dough.

Not just woman but also lactating cow, camel, goat, cat, dog, monkey… unbelievable right.

Fun fact, dairy milk actually contains proper estrogen, like all the lactations of mamals.

Metro Last Light, Lies of P and RDR2. Mid, fast and slow paced games lol.
- Comment on Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard deal gets preliminary approval from UK regulator 8 months ago:
You’re right, they’ve been hands off and basically done bare minimum for marketing and promotion. And it hasn’t been working well for them at all, exhibit A: Halo Infinite, exhibit B: Redfall. Clearly they can’t sustain this anymore.
Starfield has been probably the first example where they actually got invested in the production, delayed a game by a year, got their entire QA team test it.
Regarding exclusionary buyouts, I don’t know if you aren’t aware of it. But it has been a thing in this industry for decades. This is how Sony got where it is today, by being highly competitive by making exclusionary deals and buying studios with whom they had exclusionary deals with for years. Sony entered this industry out of nowhere and bought their way into success, and everyone agrees that only made the market more competitive. Xbox had no games and was not bringing competition in market, and now that it has more games, it’s anti competitive?
The difference with MSFT is that they bring their games to PC (an open platform) via Steam, and to Xbox, along with a price accessible service of GamePass, so it doesn’t force a gamer into first buying a $400 console and then a $70 game to play on it.
- Comment on Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard deal gets preliminary approval from UK regulator 8 months ago:
I mean yeah, that’s how acquisitions and exclusivity works. It’s not like PlayStation bought Bungie to lose money or make exclusivity deals with third parties to bring games to Xbox. That’s just how this industry works.
By manage I mean, they’re gonna handle so many companies without a good track record of being able to do it. To make the money from King they will need to be able to retain talent and steward its properties properly.
