I love using and fine-tuning a lot of accessibility options. Even if I don’t need them, they still improve the experience as an aging player. The Last of Us 2 is like the high watermark with that, which all AAA studios should try to meet or exceed. Read more

I like this because it opens up the setting and adds more chaos. Read more

Just got home from work and finally checked. Success! Had to change some DNS numbers. Hopefully Sony does a patch, though. Read more

Regarding Armored Core, If you have time to play 1 more before 6, I would suggest trying to scrounge around for a copy of For Answer. It is nearly as modern as V, but decidedly different.

Some of the games magazines at the time repeated the bogus rumour that finishing the game with no hits taken would let you play against the mystery character Sheng Long. Once I watched a guy playing as Ryu … Read more

I just want Q, Necro, and Twelve as DLC characters for 6. Just have one battle pass be exclusively weird-ass characters like ten people will use. Read more

I selfishly want them to bring Skullomania to one of the DLCs for SF6. VERY SELFISHLY Read more

I pride myself on having a properly calibrated TV and was really frustrated that I had to change my HDR settings just to be able to literally see anything at all in this game.
