I’d feel much better about it if they hadn’t increased their already expensive prices.
- Comment on Whatever happened to racing games 3 weeks ago:
It’s weird that games nailed run racing games back in the PS2/Xbox era. Between Burnout, Midnight Club, Need for Speed, all of them peaked. Then couldn’t repeat formula. Then on the PS3 they had Motorstorm. But really there hasn’t been a lot of fun racing games since.
- Comment on Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete - Welcome to Your New Home, Campers 3 weeks ago:
I used to play the crap out of this game. I got a ridiculous amount of stuff without paying a dime too. I had to stop playing because it took too much of my time.
- Comment on Video game libraries lose legal appeal to emulate physical game collections online 3 weeks ago:
Yes, I meant obtaining a copy and emulating it. If you can’t show damages (it’s not costing them sales) then it shouldn’t be punishable.
- Comment on Video game libraries lose legal appeal to emulate physical game collections online 3 weeks ago:
That’s what I’ve been saying for awhile. If it’s not readily available after a certain amount of time, for a certain amount of time, emulation should be 100% legal. Sell it to me or fuck off.

I have that one on the PS2. I don’t know that there is a better Sonic collection.
- Comment on Marvel's Midnight Suns is criminally underrated 3 weeks ago:
I thought it was fine. I don’t know about underrated though. I don’t think it’s nearly as good as Xcom.
- Comment on Expedition 33 Dev Confirms $50 Price Is Correct, '30+ Hours of Main Game' 4 weeks ago:
I’m kind of in a different boat with this. I’m paying for quality, not quantity. Especially since I don’t have as much free time as I did 20 years ago.
So if I can play through a phenomenal story within a couple months over a 20 hour game (which usually takes me 30 hours) at the height of the hype when people are still talking about it, I love it. Give me efficient storytelling.
In fact, if it’s something longer, it kind makes me rethink it whether I want to pay full price. Why rush?
- Comment on After 11 years, Xbox One emulators are finally coming to PC - but they're not actually using emulation at all 1 month ago:
I STRONGLY disagree. 5 was a letdown with some bright spots. Infinite is offensively bad with no redeeming value.
Even if you remove Infinite, 5’s combat is better than 4’s in every single way. I would split second worst between those two depending on what aspects you’re comparing.

As far as I know, they gave up on assassinations too. To be honest, by the time I finished the game, the missing features were at the bottom of the list of problems I had with it.

It did not release with co-op. I think they had to figure out how to make it work with the open world map and zip lining. When I had finished it, it still didn’t have it. When they added it, they also announced that they had stopped trying to make local co-op work.

I’ve said before, Infinite feels like the DLC to a Halo 6 game that was never released.
- Comment on After 11 years, Xbox One emulators are finally coming to PC - but they're not actually using emulation at all 1 month ago:
This is my biggest complaint. Halo 6 was set up to be an amazing game. Then Infinite ended up with zero story. The most interesting stuff in Infinite were the little flashback sequences that bridge 5 to Infinite.

I have a lot of problems with it. Between the “story” and the copy-paste map. I would rather the game didn’t exist, because at least then they could make a follow up to 5’s end.
I really don’t want to spoil your fun if you’re enjoying it though. A lot of the gameplay elements are fun to play around with.

Halo 5 had a lot of problems. Bit it’s a damned masterpiece compared to Infinite.
Halo 5 had great gunplay, Warzone Firefight was a blast, the Guardians were a great stand-in for the Halo rings, Cortana was an intimidating enemy by the end of the game, the lootboxes were actually better than the armor cores and marketplace from Infinite.
There are A LOT of negatives in there too. But a lot of positives. Infinite is just a shitshow from the beginning.
- Comment on Final Fantasy 9 Remake May Not Happen as a Single Title 1 month ago:
I don’t think it even makes sense financially. There’s not really a first part for people to get excited about compared to Midgar in 7. 9 is more of a full package game.
- Comment on Final Fantasy 9 Remake May Not Happen as a Single Title 1 month ago:
I think it made sense for 7. Midgar was the most interesting set piece and a ton of stuff happens there. But it’s only like 10% of the game.
Then you collect side characters like infinity stones and to through a bunch of their individual stories.
Then the actual story happens.
Also, 7 is popular enough to support the split up.
This doesn’t make sense for 9. Also, isn’t it supposed to be a 1 for 1 remake?

17 U.S. Code § 1201 - Circumvention of copyright protection systems
Well that’s interesting. It does say the law won’t override fair use. But I assume it blocks it regardless.
- Comment on Super Game Boy Plus: Ultimate Super Game Boy Upgrade with Enhanced Features 1 month ago:
So you’re saying, because it would rip straight to another cartridge, it could be argued it’s streamlining distribution?
I would hope that a court would see through that argument. There’s a pretty good track record of allowing personal use of personal property. But I wouldn’t be surprised either if they convinced a court that this was explicitly for distribution purposes.
- Comment on Super Game Boy Plus: Ultimate Super Game Boy Upgrade with Enhanced Features 1 month ago:
Is it illegal to rip a game that you own onto a device that you own? My understanding is that’s 100% legal, not gray area at all. The only issue would be if you distributed it.
- Comment on "The father of PlayStation" says everyone at Sony thought the PS1 would fail when it was first pitched 1 month ago:
I don’t think that’s true with how much support they give to their first party titles. I mean, their console exclusives are top-tier.

Another good one. I’ll include it.

I included Fall Guys because I liked it. I included Fortnite because it’s one of the most popular games ever made. It would be weird not to include it.

- Comment on What is your favorite retro console? 1 month ago:
If we don’t include backwards compatibility, PS1 easily. So many iconic and underrated RPGs from that time. If we do count BC, it would either be PS2 or PS3 by technicality.
- Comment on What is your favorite retro console? 1 month ago:
Do you have a lot of UMD games? I got a PSTV (the Vita console), hacked it to use expanded memory (just follow the steps you can find online), and repurchased most of my physical catalog digitally. I think a lot of those games are locked at $10 since the store can no longer receive updates.
I still have my 1000 for physical. But even then, Vita incompatible games like Crisis Core and Spyro (for some reason the PS1 game isn’t compatible with Vita) are available on my PS5.

- Comment on how is final fantasy XVI 1 month ago:
I loved it. The story is engaging and EXTREMELY well told.
The combat starts barebones and gets more engaging as you unlock more abilities. It stays simplistic enough that you can mix and match to your style, but there are enough different loadouts for you to try different play styles. With ability cool downs, it kind of feels like the ATB system merged into an action game at times.
Side content isn’t great and it’s pretty easy. Although it’s worth it for the narrative additions to the story.
DLC wasn’t great. The first one was a missed opportunity for some arena type fights and new dynamic elements. It ends up being uneventful.
The second DLC is better, but they end up making parts of it WAY to hard.
