Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 328: 4/13/24: No Rest for the Wicked Edition

I finished Avengers, it was a decent third person action beat ‘em up platformer that could have been better if they focused on the single player experience instead of on the co-op/multiplayer live service stuff. The single player story campaign feels a little half-baked, but it offers a decent amoun...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 328: 4/13/24: No Rest for the Wicked Edition

I quit playing Dragon Quest Heroes II despite liking it because they start making you fight two tough bosses in a row, and if you die on the second one then you have to fight the first one all over again. No thanks. I’ve been playing Avengers, and enjoying it for the most part. It’s a decent third p...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 328: 4/13/24: No Rest for the Wicked Edition

I am not sure how much longer I will be a PlayStation owner. I am absolutely livid right now. I had to switch Internet carriers because a very long story. The only device that refuses to work is my PS4. It connects to the Internet but it does not let me log into PSN. Therefore, I can't access my li...

Re: The Uglification of Female Characters in Western Developed Video Games

These new videos basically say what I’ve been saying. A couple of them kind of focus on the Kay Vess character from the upcoming Star Wars Outlaws game which I don’t feel is ugly per se, but she was made less attractive than the real life model (Humberly Gonzales) that she’s modeled from. https://m....

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 327: 4/6/24: Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom Edition

Ever since I sold my PS4 Pro I've regretted it. Yeah, you can play PS4 games on the PS5, but it's not quite the same How is it not quite the same to play PS4 games on PS5? I would think that it would be better because they have higher frame rates, and shorter load times. I'd say the PS4 is my favor...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 327: 4/6/24: Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom Edition

I finished A Space for the Unbound, and I found it to be a mixed bag overall. It’s primarily a narrative adventure game, so it’s something that you play more for the story and characters than for the gameplay which there’s not a lot of. There’s some mini-games, key item puzzles and cerebral puzzles,...

Re: The Uglification of Female Characters in Western Developed Video Games

I guess what's really frustrating is that it seems to be a vocal minority that's pushing these awkward changes, as they clearly don't result in more sales (usually the opposite) and when something like Stellar Blade comes along that bucks the trend, the sales for it (early reports say it's already ...
