- Comment on Leaked Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Test Presentation Impreses After Cancellation 6 hours ago:
Nothing bad with a remake of a classic.
Just think of it as a well-liked movie that was only available on DVD but it is getting a pristine Blu-ray release.
Nothing wrong with that.
Ubisoft’s other work is where the real problem is.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 studio boss calls out "hurtful", "personal" videogame reviewers - "sometimes I think it'd be a good idea for critics to be scored, Metacritic-style" 6 hours ago:
I thinks it’s pretty good for most of the game. It only gets borderline broken when verticality comes into play during some battles.
- Comment on Trump’s Department of Transportation Plans to Use AI to Draft New Regulations 18 hours ago:
The AI tool they use will just spit out whatever regulations the owners of that same tool want changed. Just before it calls itself mecha-hitler or some other edge lord crap.
- Comment on Why adding modern controls to 1996's Tomb Raider simply doesn't work 3 days ago:
I feel like a modern Tomb Raider could copy a lot of Death Stranding traversal gameplay.
I want a TR game that allows the player to choose Lara’s loadout of weapons, clothes, rope, harness, climbing equipment, etc.
It should be challenging to raid a Tomb but players must get whatever was raided out safely.
- Comment on Why adding modern controls to 1996's Tomb Raider simply doesn't work 5 days ago:
It uses 1.1 through 1.4 for a single controller and 2.1 through 2.4 for dual controller setup.
Also, a the main reason why it feels like crap is because emulators do not translate the analog feel of the N64 correctly making a lot of those games feel super twitchy and very inaccurate.
I highly recommend trying out the decompiled version of Goldeneye and Perfect Dark.
- Comment on Why adding modern controls to 1996's Tomb Raider simply doesn't work 5 days ago:
Gondeneye always has a dual analog gameplay option just like modern games. It requires the use of 2 N64 controllers. It also let you turn off all the auto-aim if you really wanted to flex your analog skills.
- Comment on Nvidia accused of trying to cut a deal with Anna’s Archive for high‑speed access to the massive pirated book haul — allegedly chased stolen data to fuel its LLMs 6 days ago:
A business is not fair use. They’re taking someone’s intellectual property and using it to make their product useful.

Will they be sued per book?

There is definite live service game fatigue going on.

Always been changing = the people at the top fired a lot of talent.
- Comment on Reports of ad-supported Xbox game streams show Microsoft's lack of imagination 1 week ago:
I remember when the Xbox 360 put ads of their which my friend defended because it would give him “relevant ads”. Its made the menu slower. Every game ad is relevant but completely unnecessary since the console has its online store built in.
That’s the first time I saw the console purposely get worse for zero good reason.
- Comment on Dragon Age veteran says scrapped Anthem Next "could have been" up there with No Man's Sky's legendary turnaround 1 week ago:
You make a good point. I’m glad it died because mindless grind with RNG loot is boring as shit.
- Comment on Dragon Age veteran says scrapped Anthem Next "could have been" up there with No Man's Sky's legendary turnaround 1 week ago:
I remember watching an interview of one of the developers of DA2 and I could tell that he had no idea what people liked in video games. It killed my interest.

I wonder how many countries are divesting from the US.
- Comment on "Not A Single Pixel" Of The New Ecco Game Will Be Generated By AI, Insists Series Creator 1 week ago:
I need 800fps. One of my Steam games was 800+ fps on its HUD even though it was on a 60fps monitor. My GPU was going at 100%.

What if I use DLSS to upscale and add frames?

They just have to look at Bungie and never do what they did.
- Comment on NVIDIA CEO says relentless negativity around AI is hurting society and has "done a lot of damage" 2 weeks ago:
Financial ruin is a not possible for him. Nvidia could seize to exist today and he will still have more money than millions of hard working people put together.
He’s a capitalist and they want to amass as much wealth as possible because their brain is broken. They are willing to destroy all of society as long as they continue to amass wealth.
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 2 weeks ago:
Switch 2 desperately needs a TV-only version. I imagine the manufacturing cost would be drastically lower.
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 2 weeks ago:
Online play on the Switch is $20 a year. The fact that they charge for online play and save backups is bullshit but not anywhere as bad as people pretend.
Isn’t Pokémon like a regular game you only need to buy once?
- Comment on RISC-V Hits 25% Market Penetration as Qualcomm and Meta Lead the Shift to Open-Source Silicon 2 weeks ago:
Qualcomm and Meta? Two technology companies that I want zero products from.
One is a patent troll and the other is an inept corporation that is directly instrumental is the destruction of society.
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 2 weeks ago:
It’s not any more expensive than any other electronics.
It’s a brand new tablet with okay battery life, pretty good performance and some low quality Bluetooth controllers included. Nothing else on the market is comparable. It’s basically a portable PS4 for $500 which is nice.
I recently built a PC. I bought RAM for $190. A week later it was $300. Now it’s over $400. Somehow, a Switch 2 is crazy overpriced at $500. People upset at the Switch 2 price are mouth breathers.
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 2 weeks ago:
The Switch 2 is not expensive.
The people that think this are getting screwed by their jobs but they don’t want to think about their wage stagnating while their boss buys extra boats and houses.
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 2 weeks ago:
you’re a lot less beholden to specific companies over here.
There’s only two CPU companies that often inflate their prices. There’s 3 but really only 2 GPU companies that also often inflate prices.
Let’s not talk about RAM.
Also, don’t forget the multiple price fixing lawsuits that got a lot of attention.
You might not like consoles but the PC world is more overpriced and just as predatory as the console market. It’s just businesses being greedy.
