- Comment on PlayStation has no games! 1 day ago:
Youre kind of remembering right. The first controllers were 6-axis and did not have rumble. They claimed it was impossible.
Later on they added it back in and it became the dual shock 3.
- Comment on PlayStation has no games! 1 day ago:
Playing Motorstorm with the 6-axis in the controller was a surreal experience. And that was a launch title. Same with playing a mature FPS from the makers of Ratchet & Clank and Spyro.
- Comment on TimeSplitters Looks Set For PS5 Release As Part Of PS2 Classics Line-Up | Retro Dodo 4 days ago:
Not required. But it could be something they have to decide before throwing them on the store. I can’t think of any other reason not to do it other than licensing.
- Comment on TimeSplitters Looks Set For PS5 Release As Part Of PS2 Classics Line-Up | Retro Dodo 4 days ago:
I want all of the classics catalog that was made available on the PS3 store to come back. I understand some games have had remasters. But I’d love to see they rest on the PS5.
It can’t be that hard, right? Is it just making trophies available for them?
- Comment on Exciting New Trailer Released For Gex Trilogy | Retro Gaming News 24/7 5 days ago:
I’ll get it for cheap at some point when it goes on sale. I remember playing 2 and liking it. But also that it felt kind of like a fever dream.
- Comment on If you've done the Final Fantasy marathon did you include FF XI? Was it worth it? 5 weeks ago:
I already bought the Pixel Remaster version. Maybe I’ll start it after next month’s FFV Four Job Fiesta challenge.
- Comment on If you've done the Final Fantasy marathon did you include FF XI? Was it worth it? 5 weeks ago:
I do not include XI or XIV. Also, I still haven’t beaten II, IV, or VI. But I’ve beaten the rest and some of the spin-offs.
- Comment on Favourite controllers 1 month ago:
I like xbox controllers for first person shooters and playstation controllers for just about everything. Some games more intensely than others.
- Comment on "PSN isn't supported in my country. What do I do?" Arrowhead CEO: "I don't know" 1 month ago:
There are a lot of console exclusives that I like. I think an argument can be made that companies like Sony and Microsoft can add funding and support to make games better, sacrificing profits for console value.
With Xbox failing for another console, putting out half-baked products, and buying IPs instead of creating new ones, I’m worried that Sony will just start maximizing profits.
- Comment on Half Life 3 1 month ago:
Episodic gaming as a format was the groundbreaking feature. It was supposed to be the future of gaming.
- Comment on Funko Fusion - Reveal Trailer 1 month ago:
That’s a lot more gorey than I’d expect out of a Funko game.
- Comment on Has anybody played music on their disc-based systems? 2 months ago:
I would rip my CDs to my PS3 and used it all the time. I used CDs on my PS1 and PS2 all the time too.
- Comment on How do you play classic Mortal Kombat? 2 months ago:
With my 1Up arcade machine.
- Comment on How Hidden Nazi Symbols Were the Tip of a Toxic Iceberg at Life Is Strange Developer Deck Nine - IGN 2 months ago:
You asked why it attracts them. Which is escapism. Not everyone looks for escapism for the same reason. And it explains why GTA VI has so much outrage around it.
- Comment on Sony Reportedly Pauses PlayStation VR2 Production to Clear Backlog of Unsold Units 3 months ago:
I understand the difficulties, but if they did something to make sure it was backwards compatible, I would consider getting it. If they could get Alyx, I would be buying one now.
No Man’s Sky is pretty much the only reason why I want to try it. I’m pretty happy with my PSVR1 otherwise.
- Comment on Final Fantasy 8 - Ragnarock Overhaul Mod 3 months ago:
Just a reminder that grinding is tedious and is an optional part of every Final Fantasy game, often times making the games extremely simple. The only difference is how you grind.
Having said that, there are a few improvements I could think of. I’m curious what all this does and whether it takes out all the good from the original.
- Comment on Looking for emotional game recommendations 3 months ago:
I loved Crisis Core. But Final Fantasy X got me a lot more emotional.
- Comment on Rooster Teeth Shut Down By Warner Bros. Discovery 3 months ago:
I thought I had heard that he was problematic when he was drinking. I figured I would at least mention it.
I’m glad he got better though. Once Gus stepped away from the RT Podcast I went and listened to all of ANMA. And now that’s one of only 3 or 4 podcasts I listen to weekly.
- Comment on Rooster Teeth Shut Down By Warner Bros. Discovery 3 months ago:
They had alleged abuse. I think part of it was the start up mentality of working long hours and expecting others to do the same even after they had become a stable company.
Some alleged slurs also from people who were a lot more comfortable than they probably should have been with coworkers. At least one of the people alleging slurs also definitely used slurs. May or may not be connected to how comfortable they were saying the types of things they did.
Honestly, that’s kind of scratching the surface. There were a couple predators that were ousted when they were caught. One dude was ousted when he went off the deep end with conspiracy theories and was too crazy to work with. One guy was an alcoholic but got better.
They seemed to gradually get better. But they really seemed to have a new controversy every couple of years.
- Comment on Rooster Teeth Shut Down By Warner Bros. Discovery 3 months ago:
Honestly, I think I dropped off around then too. But I’ve been wanting to go back and watch them all since they’re wrapping it up.
- Comment on Rooster Teeth Shut Down By Warner Bros. Discovery 3 months ago:
Content creators from the early days when that was a novelty.
Some stuff is legit animation like RWBY, they made the biggest mechinima ever in Red vs Blue, a show made by voicing over video game characters controlled by a player, they made videos showing how to get Xbox achievements called Achievement Hunter, Let’s Play with people just doing fun stuff in video games, and then later podcasts with random stuff like people chatting about current topics RT Podcast, plane crashes in Black Box Down, and Austin in ANMA.
A bunch of other stuff too. But that’s a good summary I think.
- Comment on Rooster Teeth Shut Down By Warner Bros. Discovery 3 months ago:
They shifted over the years. From RvB, to Achievement Hunter, Rage Quit, and Let’s Play, to RWBY, to podcasts. It seems like the current move is just cutting out the non-pod stuff since that’s what is successful right now.
- Comment on Rooster Teeth Shut Down By Warner Bros. Discovery 3 months ago:
The final season was expected out later this year. I wonder if they’ll still finish it. I assume so since they mentioned finishing obligations.
- Comment on Xbox Next-Gen Console Confirmed, Will be 'Largest Technical Leap in a Hardware Generation' 4 months ago:
That sounds a lot like the jump from HD to 4K. Which is to say a lot less impactful than the previous jumps and tech. And something a lot of people might not even notice.
Are there other benefits to this? Like less work for developers?
- Comment on Fox show hosts said Taylor Swift "should be conservative" given her background, because to them it's an identity. 4 months ago:
I’ve never seen someone with Republican values call themselves a Democrat.
I’ve seen a lot of people with Democratic values call themselves Republicans.
- Comment on Xbox Next-Gen Console Confirmed, Will be 'Largest Technical Leap in a Hardware Generation' 4 months ago:
The biggest jump in the current consoles was the load times. I don’t think there’s anything the next gen could do to impress.
- Comment on Are there any games like Diablo but not Diablo because Diablo? 4 months ago:
I’d you have a PS2, you can check out Champions of Norrath: Realms of EverQuest.
- Comment on Xbox is still committed to making consoles, says boss Phil Spencer 4 months ago:
Those are the standards and those products have value. Buying an Xbox when Playstation has all games for both consoles makes no sense unless you just have to have Gamepass, specifically.
- Comment on What game fits this? 4 months ago:
Scroll of Icarian Flight. It boosted acrobatics. AFAIK, there’s no way to make a spell or potion boosting a skill, just the 10 attributes. So the few jumping scrolls are all that you can get.
Also, a note about unexpected consequences. Boosting your strength to ridiculous proportions can cause your weapons to basically explode after one hit.
- Comment on What game fits this? 4 months ago:
At that point, you might as well just use console commands to set your strength to 1000.
