Whenever a fast paced action game like Devil May Cry, Prodeus, HiFi Rush or Doom have a grading system then I would feel like not continuing them as if some one is judging my performance, instead of a bar to get better....
I suppose I could’ve been less of a butthole about it…
But I just look at the letter grade on games like Devil May Cry or Final Fantasy 13 and think “why is that even here?”.
Then I just pay no attention to it at all. It’s not like a bad grade means you beat the level any less.
And if they base trophies off it, then I don’t try getting all the trophies. More often than not, getting a Platinum Trophy on a game sucks all of the fun out of it anyways. Hard pass.
Probably for the best. The Deck certification process on games would probably be annoying if they had a whole bunch of revisions with only like 10% difference in performance.
Wait a few years and make the next one a meaningful jump.
The voice acting is extremely excellent. It’s also not anime, if that’s what you’re in it for. So, no awkward hyperventilating between sentences. Female characters don’t all sound like screeching children. And intonation is what an actual human would use in actual speech.
The side quests in the game are definitely pretty awful, though.

I like old school Final Fantasy. But I also like a good braindead story game. And that’s pretty much what 16 is (well, as braindead as it can get when the game has a built-in Pepe Silvia string map to explain what’s going on)
Even on the “hard” not-story mode, if you happen to fail a boss fight, your second try is in ultra-easy mode. You get all of your potions back, and the boss is at half-health or something.

Most of the video games I’ve played were pretty good. The only one I can think of that I didn’t like was MySims Kingdom for the Nintendo DS. Dropped that pretty quickly. It was a long while ago, but I’ll guess it was because there were too many fetch quests and annoying controls.
One of the biggest reasons I stopped playing Overwatch on PlayStation a few years ago.
Smurfing is out of control there (unlimited free accounts), and most matches down where I lived in Gold were determined by which team had more Masters players on their team.
I guess I sucked at it. I played for 10-12 hours and didn’t beat a single boss. Graveyard Werewolf Dude and Weird Bridge Monster would just wreck me on the rare occasion I could actually make it to them.
After giving up, I learned online that shooting your gun is not actually a range weapon, but it’s meant to parry. Stuff like that – unintuitive mechanics you’d only know about if you were nuts-deep in “the community” – I have little patience for.
And mostly, I’m not playing videogames to prove myself to anyone. I want to have fun – not torture myself.
Cyberpunk is out of people’s minds enough at this point, that to continue devoting resources to it would be a waste.
I’m honestly surprised they rode it as far as they did. Though I do wish they’d have delayed its release until the initial product could’ve been what we saw when they did the PS5/Series X version releases.
I know we've had cases like older GTA or NFS titles removing songs from the game in updates because the licenses ran out. I wonder if the same thing is going to happen to Hi-Fi RUSH eventually?...
That’s a big reason why I checked out of console gaming for many, many years. I went from the original NES to the PS2. And I made a specific point to buy the disc version of my PS5 so I could still get dirt cheap used games.
I mean… I get that it’s the thing to do right now – haphazardly throwing more money than you can afford at every service, streamer, Patreon, Kickstarter, product or vague idea that you pledge your “support” to. Then five minutes later, complaining about how you don’t have enough money for food/housing/whatever; and blaming someone else for that.
I probably spend $100 or less per year on games, and I’ve got plenty to keep me busy until I’m a corpse.

There’s never been a better podcast! (I fell off them at first, but I think that was because the world sucked quite a bit right around when they started, and it leaked into their podcast. They’re pretty great now.)
I stuck with Giant Bomb right up until they canned Jeff Gerstmann. Quickly after that, Giant Bomb just felt icky. That said, I couldn’t hang with Jeff’s solo gig – while he’s still a threat, he sorely needs a co-host(s).
Huh. I played the Game Pass version on my RTX 3070 a few months ago, and had no issues whatsoever. I probably spent 30 seconds in the video settings & said, “yup, that sounds about right”.
Then I played the game. I never had a fps number on my screen at any point, but it felt like 60fps. 🤷♂️
