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

I’m getting tired of having to quit playing games due to their hard difficulties. It’s a waste of money to buy games that I can’t advance in and finish despite enjoying them because they’re too hard. This has been happening more and more lately, and it’s frustrating. I quit playing Dragon Quest Hero...

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 ...

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

Dragon's Dogma 2 is a quirky game that took a little while to click with me (and Tam), but once it did it hit hard. It's a LOT of fun, a great exploration RPG. Really scratches that Elder Scrolls itch of wandering around & exploring. Did you play the first Dragon’s Dogma, it’s one of my favorit...
