More arcade games. Why can’t Sony do that for the PS3 to PS4 conversions? I’ve wasted a lot of money on games on my PS3, which is why I won’t give it up just yet. Read more

Neat story about Halo Wars. My buddies and I used to come home from school and play a few competitive games every day. By the time we were done with it we never lost a single game. Not one. I could never say that about any other game I’ve ever played online. A year or 2 later they revealed that they reset the Read more

Anyone who’s wondering if it works well on Parallels on Mac I can confirm that it works like a charm. Been playing WAY too much lately and all on parallels on my MacPro. I’m assuming it doesn’t take a lot of computing power but in case you are wondering I am giving the Windows side 8GB of my 16GB of Ram and 1GB of my Read more

This is why I love PC gaming or computers in general, life finds a way to make [Y item] work on [X] platform through doing small or large amount of tweaks. Enjoy the game people.

But if I might recommend a dual boot system for mac users works well for my side pc “HacknTosh” You have both Windows and Mac OS simple to Read more

wait a sec, how is the mailbox on the left of this house??? Read more

Glad you were able to get in touch with FitGirl. Piracy aside, repacks and compression have always interested me, and she’s one of the best I’ve seen at it. Read more

Y’know, I used to see piracy as a black-and-white issue (and I still feel that it is fundamentally wrong on a number of levels, as gaming is a leisure activity—really, a luxury—rather than a basic human need, and therefore shouldn’t be subject to the whole “Robin Hood” school of thought in terms of “stealing is okay, Read more

Before The Kinja erupts in disputes between “Some people can’t afford it either way!” and “People should buy this game just to support the developers!” - let’s just remember that Willingness to Pay exists on a spectrum that is unique to everyone. While I’m sure they wouldn’t have “millions” more downloads, it’s safe Read more

I’m probably going to get shit for this opinion, but some people who are trying to do Let’s Plays as a career come off as super entitled. Especially the “sucks having someone make money revenue off my video” type comments. Without the game in the first place, you wouldn’t be able to make that video. I don’t think the Read more

Definitely is a touchy subject because to an extent you could say these narrative “games” are closer to just being an interactive movie, and yet it’s so easy for those on youtube to just watch a movie for free in essence while the youtuber profits off it. Read more

Yeah I called that it was fake when these first surfaced. Now let's just hope the rest of the controller is fake as well. If this turns out to be the shape and design of the NX controller this will be the first Nintendo console I skip. Read more

I really hope that’s not the design. Looks terrible. Read more

I bought it. I’ll admit, without the looming specter of invaders, the game feels a little weird. But I’ll be damned if they’re arbitrarily holding the game back and spoilers are everywhere. I’m playing blind and even the forums are still super washy on where to go and what to do. It’s great. Read more

I’m sure some people would rather not deal with online invasion as of yet, no one wants a Potatomarshall this early in the game. Read more

One of my friends did the Japan version workaround, and I was watching him play for a bit yesterday because my curiosity got the best of me. Fortunately it didn’t really spoil much for me, as with the other Souls games the story is scattered in the nooks and crannies. But it did make me even more restless than I Read more

It does seem kind of shitty to me that youtubers/reviewers are getting their copies almost a month in advance buts mostly because I feel that youtube celeb advertising is really disingenuous. Read more

Wow I almost bought Sunset Overdrive yesterday while bored waiting for dark souls 3. Read more

now thats a exiciting line-up. PSN plus free games feel like its been at its low point and been taking that stride for months now. Read more

I’m hoping they give the horror a rest and concentrate on world-building and storytelling, along with some puzzles that break the mold of walking sims. Read more
