I can tell 60 vs 30 if I switch between them. Like playing a 30 fps game after playing a 60fps one. Even then, I completely agree with you, what’s the point of the remake if it runs worse than the original?

Heh. I am not into PvP much. How is it?

Sounds like a fun weekend. Enjoy!

Hope things start looking up for you soon.

Perfect time to check out all the games on backlog and clear them.

That sound weird, might be fine when actually playing it.

Yeah, that was my big problem with X-Com too, even when trying to train many people, sometimes there comes a time when all good soldiers are injured.

Ooh, anything special planned?

Nintendo: Is that a challenge?

All your talk of AoC is making me want to play it.

Can just get Age of Imprisonment but can’t justify buying it unless I finish AoC. Why are you doing this to me? 😀

Hehe, it happen sometimes.

With the speed I am playing, I think Xenoblade Chronicles X will take me about 5-6 months too. It has been over 2 months, and I still have lots of game left, but I have about 50 hours in these 2 months.

Good luck with finishing Brothership soon!

I think that’s one of the hardest boss fights in the main story. Had to burn a couple consumable items to get past it.

That makes me feel better about losing the battle. Maybe I should get Elma, Lik and Hope, they make a good combo and try again.

Atelier Yumia sounds interesting!

Ah, nice!

How did you like Dark Descent? It’s also on my wishlist and I think I got it from PS+ monthly games too.

Which Doom? The original one? Or the latest one?

Good luck for getting it on launch day!

I should’ve been clear, that was about point c, the clause to brick the console. It has been present since PS3 / PS4 era and is still present for PS5, same with Xbox.

As for the ability to use console without connecting to internet, I don’t support that move by Nintendo, so didn’t give any examples for that, but Xbox One had that, so at least half of other consoles have this precedence, but it was a stupid move by Xbox then, and it’s a stupid move by Nintendo now.

All consoles have similar clauses for years, Nintendo has come to the party much later. Not that this makes any of it right.

As for the requiring the day-1 update, I can understand them not wanting anyone playing it before actual release date, but I am not sure that is worth the annoyance everyone will feel who doesn’t have proper internet access. The number of people with the issue is probably not that high, specially in US and most parts of Europe, but still could be an issue for some.

As for bricking the system to upgrade to next console, I don’t think that makes much sense. They will just stop supporting the previous console and it will eventually phase out. At most, they will kill the access to eshop and online servers (from their side, without requiring any bricking on consoles), but I doubt even that will happen until before Switch 4 or 5.

It is possible, but Nintendo is weird enough that you can’t always say.

I have played many PS4 games on PS5 without buying the upgrade, and plan to do the same with Switch.

Ever thing, not every one

Hmm… weird choice then.

No trailer, just announcement on X. I always find it weird when companies do that.

Ooh, there are books? I prefer books too, will take a look at them.
