Finally got around to beating Jak and Daxter. It was fun! Kind of janky by modern standards and the platforming isn't as tight as Crash 2&3. All and all tho, very solid. Looking forward to the (albeit more action focused) sequels

Playing Far Cry 5 (it's on Game Pass) and can't stop laughing at how they made cult a multiracial group of a non-specific religious denomination lololol

So I'm playing Death Stranding out of morbid curiosity. Any suggestions of fighting the dudes w/ stun sticks that track your packages? I have a mission there and can't beat them. Do I just... come back later? This game isn't great at explaining things...

Metroid Prime Switch remaster seems to be finally happening, per Jeff Grubb... but it's just the first game for now, not the whole trilogy??

Almost missed it: happy 10 year anniversary to what is a defining achievement of this art medium. I hope another developer has the means and ability to make something this bold again in the future. Our culture is lesser for every day we go without one.

PSA for anyone reading tweets and press releases from your "favorite" companies this week, game studios included

Good news: the Obi-Wan finale is very enjoyable! Bad news: Doctor Strange 2 is comically bad. Like, Dark Phoenix/Morbius level bad, how on Earth did this script get greenlit lolol

Bad news: I didn't get a PS5. Good news: this experience has very quickly convinced me that no, I do not have the patience for this bullshit, and I won't be buying a next gen console til I can just go to a retailer and get one at my convenience lol

For those with experience: how does this work? Is there a good chance I'll get a console? Do I have to be mashing F5 at 2pm on the dot?

Hi! I am Western Gamer whose experience w/ JRPGs ends w/ Pokemon and Kingdom Hearts and who mostly enjoyed but wasn't blown away by the FF7R demo. Would I like this game? How grindy/technical is it? Will my dumb American brain appreciate it? Thanks!

Just rewatched the Starfield demo and I just... don't get how people aren't excited for this? Like especially the ending bit. This seems like the game I wished the first Mass Effect could have been... but now it's real! That's cool!!

PSA: the ability to outright buy PS1 Classics on PS4/PS5 seems limited to first party titles only. Even though I bought RE1 on PS3/PSP back in the day, the only way to play it seems to be with an active Plus Premium sub. Tekken 2 is similarly limited

Pretty good showing from MS, all things considered. Seems like they've got a pretty stacked first half of 2023. This holiday is looking... a bit barren tho

Checked my phone during a level ending cutscene on a PS Now game. Was afk for maybe 15 minutes, looked up and saw my session was ended. Loaded back up and realized I didn't hit "accept" so my progress didn't save. I fucking hate cloud gaming lol

Welp. I guess I gotta get that PS5 now, huh.

Hey Dtoid crew! I need your help. A normie friend of mine needs a gaming headset to play Fornite on Switch w/ his college buddies. Any suggestions?

If it's made by Toys for Bob again I won't bother. Crash 4 is such a soullessly tedious experiece that I have no desire grind through another one of their original creations. Can we unmerge Vicarious Visions from Blizzard maybe??

I get to play the cat game next month. All else aside I am very happy

Half way through and this Obi-Wan show is... actually solid? Seems like they're trying to make a good story, not just cram in meaningless crossovers or do whatever the algorithm says will get the most social media engagements. Which... yay!

Not "installed", but I've replayed (most of) Crash 2/3 and Super Mario World at least once a year for most of the years that I've spent on this planet. Nothing quite hits the dopamine receptors like childhood platformer muscle memory

20K comments and I got my badge! Haha

Bullying Works: Exhibit #6352

My expectations were low but holy fuck

If you're caught up on Clone Wars + Rebels but haven't started on Bad Batch, definitely do that. It's way better than I expected. They hide a lot of broader world building behind a really well written cast and conflict that you get super invested in

Finally saw the Uncharted movie. As a film adaption of the Uncharted games, it kinda sucks. As a generic adventure story about finding lost treasure it's... fine? Like totally serviceable as a mindless action movie.
