I really hope it's just shareholders stoking whispers in the market in hopes of some kind of new commerce or whatever. I've owned a PS5 for coming on two years now and I'm still mostly playing PS4 ga...

@junkerman said: As well as a decades long fan of a Song of Ice and Fire I see literally no connection of semblance or inspiration from the books or the show other then maybe Clive borrowing aestheti...

I've never felt especially perturbed by motion blur and even I can admit the game is a bit less weird to look at cranking it down from 5 to 3.I've always enjoyed the idea of meeting a game's control s...

Back when the GB community was far more active I think it made far more sense to let this thing be its own thing, but I agree, this many years on and transitions later, it's neither odd nor a shame bu...

Without being as long winded as I've been, I think the tone of the game has found a coherence at this point it was lacking for a lot of what I guess we could call the first act. I see a lot of Kingdo...

When Clive says something like "that was the only thing that gave my life meaning" I can't help but insert a phrase like "for a super long time".I have to think of the callbacks to old Square RPGs as...

I can't overstate how charming it is for a video game to make up for astoundingly poor cinematography with damage number pop ups and health bars. I'm starting to think my fears about this game have bo...

@cikame said:@shindig: Question, since graphics have been so good for so long, and the processes for creating those graphics has only gotten easier (still hard but easier), why haven't we seen an exp...

@efesell: I realize it's not the cleanest comparison, because you're right that was pretty much always a portal into a side story that enhanced or established character motivation (though in several c...

After much introspection, some very profitable shifts and and a suitable amount of after hours indulgence, I bit the bullet. I also decided to replay the prologue featured in the demo, both to see ho...

@topcyclist: Jeff said on last week’s podcast that he’d really like to play FFXVI specifically because of its design, but he hadn’t installed the demo. I haven’t gotten to this week’s pod yet to see i...

@brian_: For me, someone who still very much is fighting against my old age by doing deep dives into Playboi Carti or whatever, it felt like it needed an editor with a strong hand. The scene gets its ...

Sadly...I'm pretty mixed on what they've shown here. The Eikon fight is basically just a rail shooter, the only color in this game appears to be grey (not even brown!) and as great an idea as casting...

@bigsocrates: All fair. At the end of the day I want all games to be their best selves. I just found the Forza showing to be quite generic compared to a lot of the other things Microsoft showed, but I...

@bigsocrates: I hoped describing GT7's menus as "extravagantly plain" might make my thoughts on its menus clear, but even then there are weird bits of character like pulling up to the café with a car ...

Like @cikame just said, the game can look as good as it wants (and it appears to look as good as GT7 does, which of course is the bare minimum) and it can differentiate itself on the track as much as ...

I decided not to finish the demo both because after seeing more of what the game had to offer after the first boss I was still having a pretty good time and I wasn't interested in making progress tha...

I'll definitely try to get to the end of this demo, especially if it's as substantial as I'm hearing. I wouldn't have ever known I was a total sucker for this atmosphere prior to Bloodborne, but look...

I stumbled into listening to a decent amount of Metallica the other week, which made me nostalgic for getting 100% on Expert on "Hangar 18". I doubt my wrists could handle it anymore but I'd really l...

I think the diminishing returns are a very, very significant aspect of this scenario. In many ways, Red Dead 2 and Last of Us II are the best looking games I've played on my PS5...and unless I'm forge...
