    Discussion Metaphor ReFantazio |OT| Awaken

    FFV was probably the best job implementation of the series. Except, comically, FFX-2 for some reason. I was a bit disappointed they'd moved away from it as the games progressed. I hadn't even heard Metaphor had a job system! That's very interesting!

    Discussion Tom Warren thinks PC ports of PS5 exclusives will release a lot faster after Spider-Man 2

    Maybe. While I had a Dreamcast growing up, I wasn't really cognizant enough of the "gaming industry" to have any sort of awareness of how it effected fans of the hardware, when they exited the market. Conceptually, the existence of games like Sonic, Yakuza, Persona, Metaphor suggest to me that...

    News Sony will increase the PS5 price in South Korea for the second time

    My assumption is this is a reference to the Jack Huyhn interview from September. https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/amd-deprioritizing-flagship-gaming-gpus-jack-hyunh-talks-new-strategy-for-gaming-market?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=socialflow As a point...

    Discussion Metaphor ReFantazio |OT| Awaken

    Gimme like a month or so to get on this. I just finished up a full franchise playthrough of Final Fantasy, and needed to take a bit of a JRPG break after that 950+ hour project.

    Discussion Tom Warren thinks PC ports of PS5 exclusives will release a lot faster after Spider-Man 2

    If Sony were to exit the hardware market, would you continue to buy games they publish, if they chose to remain in the gaming space?

    Discussion Silent Hill 2 |OT| For me, it's always like this..

    At first, I thought the spiders were going to be ammo drains. Then, I quickly figured out they dealt like 0 damage, even on the hardest game mode, and go down in two hits with a pipe once they're on the ground. You basically just bait them into lunging off the walls, then stomp them like bugs...

    Any thoughts on the two from a gameplay perspective?

    Discussion The Doomers and Gloomers, Sony is dying thread.

    Consoles will always have a place in the market as a low cost competitor, which are specialized for gaming. At least so long as people continue to use local devices, instead of streaming the games through things like GeForce Now, etc.

    News Silent Hill 2 sold 1 million copies worldwide

    I'm not sure that it's so much a scare factor, as it is a recognizability feature. He's a famous monster, because of how instantly recognizable he is, and the symbolism he represents is fitting for a psychological horror. He takes the role of a "pursuer" in some parts of the story, which makes...

    Discussion Tom Warren thinks PC ports of PS5 exclusives will release a lot faster after Spider-Man 2

    My one wish in my heart of hearts is that as more of their games become available on PC, they spend a bit more time working on the PC optimization. I certainly appreciate how hard it must be to develop for the virtually infinite variety of hardware combinations you can have with a PC, but I'd...

    The game is definitely a looker at times! Glad to hear you're enjoying it so far.

    News [IGN] Dragon's Dogma 2 NPCs Were Thinking Too Hard

    Tbh, I start pulling Dragon's Dogma 2 levels of CPU processing power when someone greets me in a hallway, and I have to remember the correct response to their greeting. Usually it just ends up as an Oblivion NPC level of interaction. "Hey, ___ how was your weekend?" "Thanks, and to you too!"

    Discussion Tom Warren thinks PC ports of PS5 exclusives will release a lot faster after Spider-Man 2

    At least in the immediate short-term, it would be fairly irrational not to port live service games to a variety of consoles, since they basically live or die off the network effect.

    Discussion Tom Warren thinks PC ports of PS5 exclusives will release a lot faster after Spider-Man 2

    Yeah, I actually assumed they were going to be doing one year staggered releases, until they got to the point where they felt comfortable doing cross-platform launches on a regular basis.

    Discussion FFVII Rebirth is a far better game than Metaphor Refantazio

    Out of curiosity, do you think both games will be among the six slots for TGAs this year, or will they only reserve one slot for a JRPG?

    News Silent Hill 2 sold 1 million copies worldwide

    It's actually a bit tongue and cheek after a while. When I was playing, there were rooms where I would be like "Alright, which table and or corner is it gonna be around this time?" Only to inevitably check the wrong place and get smacked from behind.

    News Insomniac confirms no DLC for Spider Man 2

    I do think it's fair to critique whether consumers will tolerate the cost of hardware prices in the future. I already know among my younger relatives who can't afford to build a 4080 PC rig, they're just shelling out the $20 per month or whatever from their allowances for Geforce Now.

    Discussion 20 Remakes that we "desperately" need - Gameranx

    Some of these games could do with even just having a PC port made available. I guess given Capcom's remake batting average though, I wouldn't mind seeing a Code Veronica remake. Saints Row is just silly to list, given how badly that franchise has flopped. If Bethesda devoted any resources to...
