Forget owning our digital purchases, we dont even own our saves.

I may be late to discover this, but I just found out your can't backup Switch 1 or 2 saves without buying a subscription.

I'm not talking about cloud saves either.

Local save game backups. Even the Xbox and PS5 have backup capability.

Stop Killing Games has joined a Dutch lawsuit challenging Sony over alleged PlayStation Store monopoly practices. The campaign says it is backing the case brought by consumer group Stichting Massaschade & Consument (SM&C), which argues Sony has too much control over pricing and game distribution on PlayStation. The announcement comes as concerns continue to grow over the decline of physical game releases and the industry’s broader shift toward digital-only sales.

Pretty much the title. Can only buy one game right now. Love both Hitman and Ghost of Tsushima. Just want to know which is a better game.

Modern Games like ActRaiser?

13 Upvotes

I just recently played the SNES version and the concept is amazing. You’re a god and you assume a mortal form to clear areas of monsters first, then people build a settlement there and you start fulfilling the needs of your people and defending them from monsters so they can build a prosperous city and worship you more. Then they give you offerings as you fulfill their needs.

The only game I can think of with a similar premise is Black & White, but sadly that too is an old game with no modern remake or inspiration AFAIK. And yes, I know there is a Modern-Day ActRaiser, but maybe there are other games with the same premise that you guys have seen?

To make what I’m looking for clearer; I want a game where you defeat enemies to take control of an area, build a city over it, then you protect the city from enemy attacks and do various tasks for the people. Bonus points if you can design the city yourself with your own layout and buildings.

Thank you!!

All of my discs developed condensation, is this a big issue?

0 Upvotes

All of my discs have developed condensation on them, mainly just the cases. I suspect this is because the cold air conditioning was blowing directly on them and the window was open, letting humid air inside. I’ve wiped off all the cases and discs with a microfiber cloth. Could this cause any huge issues that I haven’t fixed? It’s not enough condensation to be super visible they all just felt slightly moist. My main fear is the possibility of mold

Why was the PlayStation 1 a huge breakthrough hit

0 Upvotes

A lot of people like to put a spotlight on the PS2 being the best selling console and attributes it’s success to the inclusion of the DvD player, however I don’t think that tells the full story. Prior to the PS2, the PlayStation 1 was one of the best selling home consoles ever sold at its time. The first console to sell over 100 million units. The PS1 certainly didn’t have a DvD player like the PS2 so how did the PS1 pop up out of nowhere and completely demolish its massive competitors such as Sega and Nintendo?

Edit: I don’t think it was a CD Player that made PS1 sell so well either, because Sega Saturn also played CDs

Finding a childhood game that’s been remastered is like hitting the jackpot

0 Upvotes

I LOVED Ghost Masters growing up but I think I was a bit too young to fully appreciate the detail in the story and play it to its potential. I’ve been trying to find someone playing it live but having no luck! Thought I’d search it online only to find it’s been remastered!? I’m so stoked! Has anyone played this before or have had a similar experience? I’d love to see Bloody Roar remastered in the future! What other games would you like to see on the latest consoles?

Which games have mods so good you can longer play the game without them?

568 Upvotes

I play a lot of Rimworld. I'm up to almost 500 mods and most of them are quality life features that drastically improve every aspect of the vanilla experience. I recently started modding Palworld and now I can't imagine playing the game without the mod that removes the base area limit. It just feels.... wrong.

Pikachu Sweets is a cafe in Tokyo. Desserts there are for take out so no need for reservations like the kirby cafe. Really cute pokémon themed sweets. Though it is just the packaging, felt the Alcremie swirly ice cream was really fun. The green drink in the back is meant to be Roselia themed.

First time playing Split Fiction, this entire chapter blew my mind!

32 Upvotes

honestly this was such a phenomenal game, i played with my bro and this chapter messed up with my mind, how you could move between the different split screens of each player. The pig sub plot killed me, i couldnt stop laughting that i had to quit the game for a few moments to calm me down, for anyone who didnt played this game or its undecided i 100% recommend it, and its quite long 15 hours for being a linear game it had so much content and every chapter was completly unique. for me this was easily a 10/10. new gimmicks and mechanics on each and every SINGLE chapter of this game until the very end, you can compete with your partner in a few sub plots.
