Gears of War E-Day, aka. "Gears of War: Not That Bridge Again" PC via Gamepass. E-Day is the prequel to the other games in the series and it takes place on/around when the locusts show up for the first time. This review is actually pretty...

Outside of being a storefront for games/gamepass, is there even a purpose for it on PC? Once you download a game from it, you don't need to open it. I go weeks on end without touching it. Unless they mean the Win+G overlay. I wouldn't mind a...

Combat looks more varied that most games of this sort, but that's obviously intentional. They're swapping weapons more than someone might do in a real encounter and using attacks/weapons that look flashy. No shame in that, though. Sell it...

I don't believe that graphics and fun/gameplay are mutually exclusive, and the Nintendo I grew up with was focused on having great visuals, too. The shift to only having last-gen graphics started with the Wii. I fully understand the business...

That's exactly what I want. The Switch is a weird hybrid console, but it's still a console and it's lagging way behind the other two when it comes to actual visual fidelity for games. It's been like that for 4 straight systems now. I don't want...

https://youtu.be/FVe0LgPvh_0?si=-R5ti_uCWhraTKRG I'm not advocating any kind of chicanery, but here's what Mario Kart could be like if Nintendo didn't insist on using underpowered hardware. That's using a 5060Ti and a nearly brand new emulator.

As I've been playing through this, I don't hate it. The graphics are pretty phenomenal even if performance is hit and miss. Nothing egregious, but I hate when games have stutters and hitches of any sort. This one definitely does. On the game side...

Not sure if they've changed it via updates, but NG+ (and subsequent replays) didn't make enemies much, if any, stronger. They let you keep boosting your weapons, although it does start to cost a fortune once you get things above level 25 or so...

Developer choices I'd assume. They seem to be mostly talking about consoles in these videos. Up until really recently, console games were targeting 30fps from the PS2 era through the PS4.

I'm just glad that developers finally give a damn about framerate after the 30fps doldrums we had to deal with for a while. I'll take things that look objectively worse in stills if that means gaming at 60, 90, 120, etc. frames per second vs...

I'm another couch gamer who has been 95% on as PC for nearly 20 years. Wireless keyboards and mice have gotten good enough that they're only barely noticeable vs. wired. At least if you get the gaming ones. Tray tables are great for a...

I decided to just go ahead and buy all the PC games I was interested in for the rest of the year. If one isn't doing it for me, I can hop to something else. I've got Control Resonant, Galactic Racer (which I've mostly completed), Gears E-Day...

What's wild is that there actually ARE a ton of major UI tweaks in this version of Windows, but it's all unlocking server-side at random. In addition to the Start menu and search tweaks, there's a new right click context menu hidden in there...

The graphics are about as good as you'll find, but the game isn't that big. You keep going back to the same locations over and over. In terms of size/scope, Gears 5 dwarfs it. On the marketing side, I remember seeing a fair amount of ads around...

I'll hope this leads to progress in the other direction. Give me MK World and the Duskbloods running at 4K/120Hz on a PC.

It is what it is, I guess. Their best stuff was in the distant past. They had a resurgence with Mass Effect and Dragon Age, but they were mostly good ideas/worlds with clumsy games set in them. Well, than and EA made them do dumb things. More...

For what it's worth, at least when playing the CPU, the best thing to do is to just max out autopilot and the ability that makes your specials recharge faster. I was curious how far it would take me and I basically let the game race itself for...

I guess there's a larger DLC coming in December, too. Some of the Halloween items specifically reference it. The additional stuff they added to the original game ended up being pretty substantial, so I have high hopes for MS2 over the long haul.

That thing is coming along really quickly. I guess Demon's Souls is borderline playable for real right now. While certainly a long, long way from being truly feasible across the board, it's pretty impressive for an emulator of a current console.

It's a weird game because some elements of it now look like a million bucks (lighting/shadows), but other elements (animations) look multiple generations old. I tried to go back to it 6 months ago and got bored pretty quickly. I liked it on my...
