- Comment on The Switch 2 Rollout Was So Convoluted It Made Us Want A Steam Deck. 22 hours ago:
Probably not going to happen, but I think it would be awesome if it’s like the 3DS where they realize the cost is too much, then they lower the price significantly and the early adopters who sacrificed their firstborns for it will have some sort of ambassador program.

Apart from both being TV/Handheld hybrid consoles, I’m not understanding why people think Switch/2 and Steam Deck are in direct competition with each other. They aren’t. They’re in totally separate leagues.

While I’m not defending the price point ($80 is $80, JFC), after watching Nintendo Life’s hands on play of the game… I can see why Nintendo decided to have that as the price.

Why do people manufacture arguments like this? Who is arguing that one is okay while the other isn’t? A couple random people on the Internet?
The only thing I can think of is The Last Samurai is a 20 year old movie and that somehow means not bringing up this historic fictional movie = you’re okay about a white dude becoming a samurai but not okay about a black dude becoming a samurai.
Whataboutism at its finest.
Did it not occur to this person that perhaps some people just don’t care about the movie, haven’t seen the movie, or plain just didn’t bring it up because it’s a movie? Is it “double standards” for one to pick their battles and not be enraged at everything all the time? My god this shit is exhausting.
Disclaimer: I have no opinion on the game itself because I frankly don’t care about it because I’m not the biggest Ubisoft fan outside of Rayman. Nor does the above necessarily reflect my opinion on the game’s history accuracy. I’ve always loved The Last Samurai and Memoirs of a Geisha though and find both beautiful and touching films, so make of that as you will.

I was watching that during the event and I immediately brought up Super Mario 64. Guess I wasn’t the only one to think that.
- Comment on Gaming has a polarization problem 3 weeks ago:
Of course there’s middle ground. You just don’t see it much with AAA games because, as you mentioned, it’s all or nothing with those.
But don’t forget about indies. They comfortably fit in this middle ground because they’re not afraid to take risks.

I’m trying to get back into it for exercise reasons, but I’m keeping away from the gross and greedy take on Dynamax stuff. Feels better to ignore those.

Well, it really hasn’t given me much reason to upgrade from my PS4 Pro. So…Yeah…

I’m hoping that one day Steam will have apps for home consoles so I can play Steam games on my Xbox whatever without hassle. That would be cool.

- Comment on Xbox Sales Hit Rock Bottom After Historic 2024 Decline 1 month ago:
This whole generation has been messed up from the word go. Scalpers ruined my chances of getting a PS5 (and I went with Xbox for the very first time since they had a payment program) and I’m still very sore about that. Anyone remember “Oh Deer”?
Nintendo doing whatever the fuck they want, making the Switch last the Wii U’s latter-half of a generation and then it’s own generation. The Switch 2 coming in so late to this generation that you have to wonder if we can even call them Nintendo/PlayStation/Xbox generations anymore and instead it’s PlayStation/Xbox with Nintendo it’s own category of generations now.
Xbox making a high-end console with a mid console and forcing the same games to be released for both. Sounds extremely consumer friendly, but made things a headache for developers who probably felt held back by it.
Sony…where do I begin. I guess my main gripe with them is that they’re still giving the middle finger to PS3 backwards compatibility on PS5. (Yes I know about the Cell and blah blah blah. Don’t care. Make it happen, get my money. Capice?) The PS5 Pro might’ve been where I finally hopped on, but eh. My PS4 Pro is still going strong and they don’t have anything that entices me to make the leap after I invested in Xbox Series X.
And so many games being cross-gen this time around. Holly hell. I understand why that is, but I feel like this is the most blah generation ever. There have been some awesome games for sure, but overall it felt not very exciting.
And Microsoft not really seeming to care about all this because they feel they’re on a different plane of existence now and consoles are trivial to them since your toaster can now play Xbox games.
So instead of having a 3-way drumline competition, they’re just parading off in different random directions through town.

- Comment on Two big Final Fantasy remakes are reportedly still in ‘active development’ 1 month ago:
I wish the Final Fantasy III 3D remake would be ported to consoles. I loved it on DS and always wanted to play it on a big screen. It came to phones, PSP, PC, and the Ouya of all things. So why the hell can’t I just play it on my Xbox? Sheesh.
(I actually considered getting an Ouya once just so I could play FF3 3D remake. Glad I didn’t.)
- Comment on Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds - Announce Trailer 1 month ago:
Is the closed network/beta testing only going to be for PlayStation? I want to do it for Xbox if available, but not seeing anything on it.
- Comment on Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds - Announce Trailer 1 month ago:
Fuck yes! DO WANT.
All-Stars Racing was my favorite and I also really loved Transformed. Couldn’t get into Team Racing though. This feels like a return to the previous two games while also being new.
More references to the Sonic R soundtrack (like they’ve been doing) and I’ll melt with ecstasy.
- Comment on Monster Hunter: World sold over a million copies just in the last 3 months, despite being 7 years old 1 month ago:
Worlds and Wilds feel very very different from each other. Playing the years-older game to judge the new one doesn’t make sense.
Instead, I’d recommend trying out the beta. The last session will be from Feb 13 - Feb 16.
- Comment on Monster Hunter: World sold over a million copies just in the last 3 months, despite being 7 years old 1 month ago:
I played the game to death on PS4 up until MH Rise came out on Switch. I didn’t get a PS5 but do have an XBox Series X.
Monster Hunter Wilds has palico costume bonuses if you have save files for World and Iceborne. Buuut, I can’t transfer my save files between PS4 and XBox.
I just recently purchased the World/Iceborne for Xbox on sale for like 20 bucks. Now, you might say to me that it’s silly for me to re-buy the game just for some extra cosmetics. And yeah, you’d be right. But you have to play through certain parts of World and Iceborne to be eligible for the bonuses. Which means I started a new save file and am going to play through it.
I’ve fallen in love with MH World all over again.
FOMO may have me by the balls, but at least I’m having fun with it.

Wish I could say at least two.
I paused my playthrough of Final Fantasy when Black Ops 6 back in October. Next thing I know, it’s January and I’m totally lost when picking up my Final Fantasy save file again. The dancer didn’t share any clues whatsoever.
You lied to me, game. 🖕
