  • I think it's interesting that people have to attach their names and prove they're real to sign this, but serious complaints can be filed anonymously. I'm not European, so does this mean anyone random can file complaints? Or it's done somehow officially, just shows up anonymously?

    I'm asking to understand how this works because this could not be the industry entirely.

  • I was looking forward to some conversation regarding this subject in the comments, instead all we've got is people talking about text vs video, and drawing any attention away from actually discussing the video.

    Great.

  • Capcom reveals Resident Evil Requiem started as an online game, ‘but we realised fans didn’t want it’

    Jump

  • Truly, it's great to hear that they understand what fans of the series actually want.

  • Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun!

    Jump

  • Since Elden Rings success, fromsoft games don't get deep discounts, really. They raised prices for the Dark Souls games, as well.

  • The Switch 2's super sluggish LCD screen is 10 times slower than a typical gaming monitor and 100 times slower than an OLED panel according to independent testing

    Jump

  • Here, a switch is $400, while a Switch 2 is $630.

  • For a couple hundred extra, I wouldn't expect anything in the Switch 2 to be worse than the Switch 1, personally.

  • New report suggests third-party Switch 2 game sales are "below estimates"

    Jump

  • Wonder how it'd be if they didn't include a cheaper Mario Kart bundle, as well. I had many people arguing with me that the price of MKW wasn't $80 because of the bundle.

  • Top D&D designers join Critical Role after quitting Wizards of the Coast

    Jump

  • 5.5, in my opinion, is a very corporate edition of the game. There wasn't any actual change or reason for a new edition other than Hasbro wanted D&DBeyond and the money it got, and the way to do that was make a "new edition". But people liked and were playing 5e so, make a backwards compatible system that's totally the same thing.

    The 2024 version of D&D, in my eyes, doesn't fix any of the actual issues with the game. They change some wording and change some abilities but none of the core issues are dealt with. So to me, it's a pointless cash grab.

  • Switch 2 Teardown: Still Glued, Still Soldered, Still Drifting

    Jump

  • While I'm not a huge fan of BotW and TotK, I think it's a disservice to say they were a cheap way to pump out games. You can see the design intent in both exploration and gameplay mechanics. There's a lot that works well in those games that allows for the player to continue playing for a while and still have fun.

    And this is probably the only time I'd be seen defending those games.

  • A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"?

    Jump

  • Which is funny since I've played all three of those for the first time recently, and FF7 doesn't hold up in comparison to 8 and 9. But I can see at the time how 8 could be seen poorly in comparison to 7 and 9.

  • What's an absolutely medium quality game? Not great, incredible or terrible or any single ended extreme. Dead medium quality

    Jump

  • I bought it quite cheap because it looked like a fun time, and have over the years since played through it 3 times. The gameplay mechanics are a blast.

  • I never had an Xbox, so really only grew up playing Halo Reach (I think) co-op when I'd go to a friend's house. But I recently played through most of the halo games with a friend and I have to say, I agree. I can't remember any particular moments or scenarios, no part of the story that stands out in my mind, etc. It was fun enough to run through most of them (though we did get tired of it, which is why I said "most of the games"), and I can certainly see why for when they came out, they received the attention they did but can't say I think the reaction would be the same if it came out now or that it really holds up to the standards it seems to have set.

  • Persona 4 Revival - Teaser Trailer

    Jump

  • I know people will tell me I'm wrong, but I dropped P3R because of the dungeons. So if 4R is more of the same, I doubt it's something I want to play.

  • The reference to that in the RE7 DLC was hilarious.

  • Not that surprising, the UK has been working on better consumer laws. See all the grief Apple has had recently.

  • On the prospect of an $80-$90 GTA 6, former PlayStation boss says 'it's an impossible equation' for big-budget studios to keep their prices down

    Jump

  • If I'm remembering correctly, they had announced single player DLC bit instead just chose to develop more multiplayer stuff since that's where the big bucks are. I'm busy and don't have a source right now, but can attempt to find this later and edit as necessary.

  • Here Are The Specs For The Retroid Pocket Flip 2 | Time Extension

    Jump

  • I know Retroid are kind of the more "affordable" option, but after my RP3+ broke from just regular use and cheap parts, and them not helping me because of discontinued support for the device, I don't really want to spend more money on them. At this point I'd probably rather save for a steamdeck, despite it being huge and clunky. Retroids recent items are just ugly as well, IMO.

  • Getting a Steam Deck to emulate retro games?

    Jump

  • I've been wondering this exact thing lately. I've got a retro handheld that is breaking because the company seems to have used cheap parts internally, and they no longer support repairs or selling the parts. After only a year of owning it, I feel pretty annoyed, so started looking at alternatives. Steam deck was one I was considering, but the price point means I'll need to save for a while.
