Knew it’d be Min Min, but I’m not gonna lie. I was hoping for a Hero situation where we had multiple alternate costumes. My picks were Ninjara, Ribbon Girl, Misango, and Min Min. Also slightly disappointed the other ARMS fighters aren’t in the stands. Read more

Here’s my thoughts on trailer and preview fakery: I’m okay with trailer bullshit like that if has two purposes: Read more

I can’t watch the video due to the spoilers but based on the title I hope that more devs see this and do things in similar fashion. Not only is it fun to be surprised when you’re expecting something different but it preserves the game so the devs are pleased too.

Not bad ! Read more

Back in February after Smart Delivery was announced. CD projekt Red tweeted out that Cyberpunk would make use of that when the Series X version of the game is available. Read more

Unlike the previous three iterations, however, you won’t be able to set it up horizontally. Read more

There is actually a much easier solution for Xbox/PS4 than the ones provided. You probably already had multiple accounts on those consoles so all you need to do is make your primary PS4/Xbox your ex’s and vice versa.

In direct response to your final sentence: DO NOT take Jason’s review of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 to heart. He despised the first game and thus had his mind set to hate the sequel before ever playing it. Read more

Inventory can fill up, yes. It’s quite large, but by the end of the game, if you’re holding onto all the random materials you pick up and enemies drop, you’ll hit max pretty easily. Every inventory type (i.e. arms, legs, etc) have their own cap, but you probably won’t reach those unless you’re holding on to a lot of Read more

My little bro attempted to complete all the sidequests because he yearns for death, and accidentally ended a multi-part sidequest early by killing a certain enemy. He didn’t realize until it was irreversible. Don’t try to do all the sidequests, basically. Read more

Great piece. I beat this back in the day on the Wii and honestly had no idea how any of the buffs or debuffs worked. If you’re intimidated by this, I would advise you not to get discouraged, because the game (imo) actually isn’t very hard.

For newcomers to the series there is a rather steep learning curve, but the game gradually teaches you every new thing and makes sure you have a means of getting additional info on it. Read more

Not quite. Author has their friends console set as their “primary”. Meaning any games the author owns digitally can be played by ALL accounts on the “primary” device, without the author being signed in. On the author’s own personally device, it’s not set as primary, so they can only play games if they’re signed into Read more
