@Slayer25c I, eh, have a strong feeling explaining any of what I meant would be a fool's errand. You stay chipper!

Just imagine their hubris if their live-service plans were successful.
This isn't the same company I grew up with. I feel sorry for the kids that only know this ridiculous, shambling corpse.
If they keep it up, they'll leave a hole in the market that someone savvy is going to fill. Probably from China...

I will definitely be picking it up. Looks like a blast, and it is Doom.

@SuntannedDuck2 the more I play current games, the more I appreciate the PSP. Excellent library. I stuck so much to the JRPGs when I had mine, but now I play a ton of racing games, puzzle games, etc. It's great.
I would argue that Sony not only hopes we will get over ownership but they are banking on it. Changes will only come if they are brought to court by someone that can afford to win.

When they made installation mandatory I pretty much stopped buying discs for Sony and MS games. I have the rare boxed game to pay tribute. Everything gets patched like crazy anyway.
I buy Switch 1 and Evercade carts and am filling in the physical backlog there and prior.

Yeah, I wouldn't pick it up. Because if it does not launch in perfectly stable condition, Bethesda is not going to fix it.
Spoilers: it will not launch in perfectly stable condition.

America is already an apocalyptic wasteland run by a cult.

It would be swell if we all didn't see the writing on the wall literally every time a studio is bought up.
XBOX deserves to fail. I won't be okay if id closes. Especially with Bobby Prince (WHICH I LEARNED ON A TRUE CRIME PODCAST, PUSH SQUARE) passing away recently. Ugh.

@psmr sooooooo I ran a Gamecrazy for 7 years, and had been collecting since I was 4. I had my original NES all the way to my PS3 and the rare things I found running a shop. When the chain shut down, I joined the Army. Long story short, my ex-wife sold the entire collection for $100 while I was deployed. EX wife. We weren't even fighting or anything. She genuinely thought she was being helpful.
I try not to think about it, but yeah that still hurts. It was so bad for a while that I pretty much dropped out of gaming.
I am collecting again now though. Just want to fill in the gaps in my Switch library. I may grab an AES+ if they sell new carts for reasonable prices.

@psmr I only have games I play on it. Im not doing the collect all carts thing.

@psmr the Evercade is wonderful. If only for the boxes, carts, and manuals. The Turrican collection has an especially great manual.

Going for that huge PC classic SNK fighters market. Lol.
What are they thinking?

No. Current day Florida as a setting is a deal breaker.

@MrPeanutbutterz sounds like hipster bullsh*t.

@get2sammyb lol. I fixed it.
Now YOU sound silly!

Must have been tough to say what game you were talking about in the article headline, lol. On a roll today!

Why don't articles about these disposable gacha games ever call them gacha games in the article titles?

@somnambulance same here, man. It's always the best when they want to chill and put Ducktales on. Seriously the best thing in life lol. I just got the Afternoon collection. Hope they dig it. Cheers.

Parking Garage Rally Circuit! Play it!
And Tower 57, a gorgeous Amiga shooter.

@somnambulance you guys dig the Ducktales reboot? It's good!

@Leonardo_Turtles ...I bet you play the Genesis version and main Sisyphus.

I wish Dennaton would make something new...

Yup. Allllllll Destiny 2's fault.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we weren't just lied to from every single angle, all day, all the time?

Everywhere? I imagine everywhere.

This game looks like it vapes so hard.

@Futureshark Redout! Roadout! Outhouse! ROADHOUSE!

I have every Wipeout game still. One of my favorite series. I really hope this is what is happening...although I could still play the existing games on my Retroid and PS5 for quite some time.

@ErrantRob you are missing the point. They didn't have to come out and say anything about anyone. Especially from the "side" that is always complaining about people injecting a narrative. As it stands, it really seems they don't have confidence in their game standing on its own.
I have been pretty careful not to throw insults around here. I am just calling out the devs and their clown show.

@ErrantRob that took a lot of twisting words. These devs had zero reason to come out with their ridiculous statements, trying hard to make their game relevant to at least the lowest common denominator. They made it about politics, and like @DennisReynolds said...I thought those people HATED politics in their games? They came out yelling at clouds when no one asked, which makes them seem insecure...like there's nothing special about their game, so they had to make a scene. I dont care if anyone likes their game, but I don't respect the devs.

The performances in the Legacy of Kain games elevated them, and nearly every other game I have played with copious VA is cringe or I am just sitting there annoyed that the game won't shut up.
This looks embarrassing.

@For-Kier @beltmenot I was referring to statements the devs have made about culture war BS (that no one asked about), but did not want to open that can of worms here. Now I'm the bad guy bringing sh*t up where it shouldn't be.

I've been waiting for publishers to start delaying.
These devs are clout chasing anyway, so I'm good.

I just wanted a fun single-player racer where I got the tracks down, but I am still hopeful. The racing just looks great.

Kojima needs an editor.

@MrPeanutbutterz You went to an enthusiast site to call fans of a thing names. Tiny d*ck energy.

@Northern_munkey I don't mean to undermine the sentiment, but Sky News can eat the most rancid bag of raccoon d*cks.

Welp, that guy seems like kind of a dipsh*t, sooooooo

Yeah, I don't know. I'll get around to it some day. I just don't think the games feel that great to play.
The setting of current Florida grosses me out also. The series once lampooned basically what America just IS now, and I don't feel like wallowing in that filth.

@MrPeanutbutterz you seem like kind of a mean person.

I got all moved in to the new place, but do not have my usual shelves for the collection set up. All I have here rn is more modernish on a sad closet shelf lol.

I think I will go with some Roguecraft on the Evercade, Sektori PS5, Tower 57 on Retroid via Winlator, and Twilight Princess Dusk.

Also, I didn't know that Parking Garage Rally Circuit is out on consoles!

Modern AAA gaming is a hellscape.

It looks fun but I need mutants and zombies and robots etc.

@Ken_Kaniff that's how things work. You haven't heard of something, then you do.

Biomechanical Toy was made on the most acid any one person has taken and survived. It looks like Dynamite Headdy meets The Great Ragtime Show but that is somehow a run n gun where you play as Cobra. It is obscenely weird in a way that few current games are.

@IntrepidWombat Heretic, Wizordum, and Amid Evil are great.

This game was just too YA for me. Like a Divergent fps or something.

Can I upgrade my PS3 copy lol

Looks incredibly safe. Glad for the Mega fans, but unless this does something interesting and new, meh.

@psmr as a guy who played the games as they released, MM4 was my upper limit. I still played a bunch of the games afterwards, but didn't really call myself a fan.
Gravity Circuit is basically better in every way.

@shoeses surely due to the seismic shift in the gameplay loop from BLOPS1 to BLOPS2. In BLOPS1 it's cutscene, shoot enemies mid-screen, walk forward, cutscene, walk forward, shoot enemies mid-screen, cutscene. In BLOPS2, it's cutscene, shoot enemies mid-screen, walk forward, cutscene, shoot enemies mid-screen, cutscene, walk forward.
