the complaints about yorda's escort AI were based more in the general attitudes of the time than the gameplay mechanics

ie "uuugh why do we gotta drag around this girl i wanna hit things with a sworrrrd"

one moment from ico i very clearly remember is when you finally make it to the bridge leading out to the temple and it collapses, leaving yorda barely clinging on. i stopped on a loving dime and doubled back to (futilely) pull her up again - there was no prompt, barely even a camera swing, the game just trusted you to have gotten invested enough at that point to try and save her of your own volition

another reason why the endless tooltips and voiceover tutorials for TLG annoyed the hell out of me

we've gotten so many updates of older games this gen that the line between "remake" and "remaster" has become blurry

there's a wide, wide gulf between an uprezzed port, a bluepoint graphics update, and something like FF7R

I would get one too, but I'm a Millennial, and so I cannot afford housing or anything. The Boomers took all my money, so I can't get a console.

I imagine most of these pre-orders are fake, and we'll discover that these things don't sell at all, given the harsh economic climate for the video game playing demographic. :(

weren't you just bragging about buying an LG OLED

Yeah i saw that but Im too dumb to understand why that is even a problem but im looking forward to next gen and people complaining about 90fps.

seems like no matter what the PS5 version will override your desired settings if it detects a 120hz TV, forcing it into a mode that has high but unstable frame rate and a subpar resolution

yeah i don't expect anyone to do diddly-squat with these consoles until the weekend at the earliest

the servers are currently experiencing a load that renders them somewhere between "inoperable" and "physically hurling themselves from the building with a goofy yah-ha-ha-hooey noise"

I know they didn't do the Silent Hill HD Collection. I was offering it as a potential project for them to do because the studio that did do it botched it, and Blue Point actually knows what they're doing, so it'd be cool if we got a version from them.

if you thought the grousing over the demons' souls art changes was bad, imagine how fans would react if the least gangrenous smear was altered in silent hill 2

Just got a ps5 after skipping PlayStation for 2 gens. If I wanted to play kingdom hearts for the first time, what do I need to know? What should I skip? Is it worthwhile at all?? I played like 60% of KH1 on the ps2 but barely remember it.

there's a game called "kingdom hearts: the story so far" that compiles every single game pre-3 into a single package for anyone who wants to play catch up

yeah it's highly recommended to bounce around stages instead of trying to grind through them one at a time, because the difficulty between zones is variable and they get often get nastier as you move further into each zone (2-2 is harder than 5-1, for example, whereas most of 4-1 will snap you like a loving twig)

I love how the power of the PS5 is able to iron out the issues of PS4 games. I tested out Red Faction Guerilla Remarstered. The game ran mostly fine on PS4 Pro, but there was always a hitching issue every few seconds when driving. It's totally gone on PS5.

the last guardian running at a smooth 30 makes a huge difference during numerous setpieces

The Pathless is extraordinarily good for anyone who hasn't picked it up yet

basically combines Journey's flowing movement with Breath of the Wild's scattered environmental puzzles and minimalist overworld navigation
