It's just a celebration of videogames, an event for fun, an average of opinions. There is nothing to fight against or try to prevent. Simply put, if you don't like, don't watch it. To me it's a relaxed day and I like watching that event. Don't ruin it for others, because you hate it.

There are many Award shows and events for Games. What about them? Do you hate them all?

Not even participating by clicking on the link and at best watch a trailer from game company xyz on youtube.

Big publishers weaponizing randomization elements in games against the players' wallets. I hate this era of gaming...

Opening chests with random magical loot used to be fun when I was a kid, a classic fantasy trope, not a monetization shadow pattern :/

Free To Play: Maybe. Mobile: Pass. Gacha: Pass. Game Pass: Pass. Conclusion: Pass. 4/5 Passes.

atocci,

Wait what does this have to do with Game Pass?

The word Pass. Actually I don't know.

Not at all surprising but still disappointing. :(

Computerchairgeneral, w Amazon lays off 180 employees from its games division

Honestly, the only thing surprising about this is that it affected Prime Gaming staff and not divisions actively involved in game development. Hopefully the people laid off can find new work, but it feels like anyone working in the gaming industry is going to face that kind of job insecurity no matter where they go.

Pisodeuorrior,

Yep, I work in games and this year has been fucking brutal.
Most of my contacts/acquaintances on Linkedin are "between jobs".

Luckily I have some freelancing set up, but this thing is killing me. It's not easy to find another (remote) job when half the people in the industry are competing with you.

Computerchairgeneral, w PlayStation Portal Review - IGN

Still, not entirely sure who this is supposed to be for. The poor battery life, lack of Bluetooth, and the inability to play media is just disappointing, even at 200 dollars. Just feels like there are better ways to play PS5 games on the go than this.

I think they had a competition going with Logitech for the most useless handheld device.

They just need to integrate NFTs into Unity, then it's perfect. A masterpiece.

TwilightVulpine, w PlayStation Portal Review - IGN

I got 4.5 hours of use with the brightness turned up to 100% and the volume at around 50%.

Out of a device that is basically a screen glued to a controller and wi-fi? That's abysmal.

thingsiplay, w PlayStation Portal Review - IGN
@thingsiplay@kbin.social avatar

Another true IGN moment. 8/10? Man this thing looks ugly. And it can only stream your local Playstation 5 on the local network, otherwise it's useless. Battery life is a joke for a streaming only device. Does not have Bluetooth. And the price is expensive for what it does. Yet IGN praises this. Imagine Microsoft did the same thing for XBox. I really don't want to come off as a Console War guy (I'm a PC Gamer), but imagine that for a moment. And no, I do not hate Sony, I just hate this device.

TwilightVulpine,

I don't think this is a console war thing. I just think IGN is a sellout rag that rates games however game companies tell them to. Their ratings are consistently unexplainable by anyone with sense.

@EvaUnit02@kbin.social avatar

Just to be clear, it can stream your PS5 remotely. It doesn't only work across your LAN.

thingsiplay, (edited )
@thingsiplay@kbin.social avatar

But I think it does not support streaming over the internet. Its only limited to the same network you are with your PS5. Or am I wrong? Edit: Apparently I can't read. At least it is possible to stream your PS5 to other wifi networks.

EvaUnit02,
@EvaUnit02@kbin.social avatar

My apologies. You seem to be absolutely correct. It seemingly does not work outside of your LAN.

thingsiplay,
@thingsiplay@kbin.social avatar

Thanks for confirmation. One can't even stream the online streaming games with the PS Plus subscription. Its really only about the local games you have... I'm totally baffled.

Gh05t,

This is from the article:

“This was the turning point for me, where I went from “well this is kind of neat,” to “this is actually rad.” There I was, playing FF7R from the PS5 in my house in a cafe across town and it was nearly indistinguishable from the experience at home. Again, that’s something that can certainly be done on your phone or tablet (and those are able to get past that login screen) but none of them feels as good to hold and play on as the Portal.”

It does play via remote wifi but only games from your local ps5.

thingsiplay,
@thingsiplay@kbin.social avatar

Hmm, okay. So I got most of the stuff correct then (no internet streaming), but didn't got the part it would stream on other wifi networks. I skipped parts of the review, because I didn't expect that functionality would have changed. Shame on me and this should be a lesson! So then that went from useless (in my opinion) to useful at times.

But the PS5 has to run for that, right? Can you remote control to run and sleep the PS5?

Gh05t,

So the remote play functionality from before remains intact. So once paired with the PS5 the device can remotely turn the device on or the device is always listening for the connection.

This is a dedicated device for that though. If you read my initial post I’m not a fan of the device and even less of the manner by which IGN reviewed it. They’re looking at it in a complete vacuum and comparing it to a device that basically already failed (The Backbone).

luthis, w PlayStation Portal Review - IGN

"…so it’s not like you can play it on the go (there’s no version with a cellular connection) or without also owning a PlayStation 5. There is literally nothing else it can do. That seems like a bit of a bummer given the $200 price tag – I’d have liked to be able to watch Netflix or YouTube on the Portal, but all media functions are disabled on Sony Remote Play. The PlayStation Portal will only play games and let you navigate the PS5’s menus, so without a PS5 at the ready, the Portal is a paperweight. "

TwilightVulpine,

They try to say that the screen is bigger, but at that point they could just play on a TV, since they need to be with their PS5 at home.

Also mystifying that they say a tablet with a bigger screen would be inconvenient because you couldn't play it on the bus. You can't play this thing on the bus either.

ampersandrew, w The Game Awards 2023 nominees announced
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

The performance category feels like they purposely limited it to one performance per game, otherwise we'd have seen multiple reps from Baldur's Gate 3. The performance for Astarion was great, but I could easily see the nod going to Karlach or the narrator as well. And no disrespect to Idris Elba, but what he had to work with in Phantom Liberty (enjoyable as it was) doesn't hold a candle to Karlach; I might even say that another actor in Phantom Liberty put on a better performance than Elba did, again just because she had better material to work with.

Also, this is the first time the fighting game category nominees didn't make me angry. Usually they omit some notable game that belongs in the category and include a game or two that clearly don't belong there.
