I wonder what game stories benefit from a bit of challenge.

Like, I feel like The Last of Us benefits from a little bit of challenge to drive home the anxiety and cleverness of the characters.

I love the combat in the game. I think I played it on normal. I wouldn’t recommend anything easier. I feel like everything would die too easily.

Early Resident Evil games were essentially horizontal Metroidvania. Open world makes sense.

It was 3. But IIRC, it was the first 360 game to have multiple discs.

It seems like podcasts are their main product now. And that should be staying for the moment. That’s what I listen to. I don’t watch their videos anymore, and I haven’t in quite a while.

I just finished Spider-Man Miles Morales. So I’m gonna be starting Spider-Man 2 soon.

I believe the original is just PS5 enhanced, similar to running it on a PS4 Pro. But it’s still a PS4 game running on the PS5.

I don’t know the ins and outs. But most games like that have an upgrade that makes them into actual PS5 games (like you can only play it through the SSD for example).

No

It seems more like a PS5 Upgrade which it never got before. AFAIK you can even upgrade for $10 if you have the original.

It’s not even a puzzle! It’s just waiting!

I’ve been play Theatrhythm Final Bar Line since beating Final Fantasy 16. Next I’m either playing Spider-Man Miles Morales or Stranger of Paradise.

Final Fantasy VIII, Half-Life 2, and Halo 4 were those games for me. Absolutely blew me away.

Yeah, I do love Morrowind. It’s one of my favorite games of all time. But I’m putting Skyrim, FO3, and FONV above Oblivion easily.

checks which game is “best”

This list is 100% accurate.

I don’t think it’s for people planning on buying the disc drive. But it’s a nice way to avoid FOMO for anyone that doesn’t want to get locked out of discs forever (without buying a whole new console).

Plus, for people looking to save some money, it could be an opportunistic purchase if they find it for cheap later.

Hasn’t every other generation come with a price decrease and a bigger size reduction? This seems like it’s really just a new model.

The biggest upgrade is the SSD size. But digital is getting more expensive (but also has the disc drive option). Seems like it’s just not enough upside for anyone to get excited over compared to previous generations.

Infinite made me not care about the franchise. Which is impressive because I loved the franchise.

I had no idea. I think that pretty much explains the confusion then.

Why does it feel like every remake messes with lighting? As if making things brighter means it looks better. Halo CE is another that gets blasted for ruining the anesthetic of the original.

When I was a kid, it wasn’t entirely uncommon to get a big gift during a random holiday get-together.

But I think “holidays” is more of a generic retail term used to get people to buy more and feel less limited.
