Sony did a PlayStation 5 showcase where they revealed some information before letting Geoff Keighley tweet important news that they couldn’t be bothered to tell us. Anyway, let’s react to trailers, including ones for Demon’s Souls, Final Fantasy XVI, and Resident Evil Village. #PS5 #PlayStation #ResidentEvil #DemonsSouls #FinalFantasy #CallofDuty #Sony…
I’m often asked how one can continue enjoying videogames published by exploitative, harmful corporations. In truth, there is no “ethical” way to do it, not if you’re trying to avoid giving money to scumbags, but I’ll help you try to feel better about it! Really though, a lot of the…
505 Games has undermined its own argument that it simply couldn’t give existing Control owners a free upgrade for next-gen systems. PS4 Control players noticed that Control Ultimate Edition was available to download rather than purchase – something 505 Games said couldn’t be done. Access to the upgrade without purchase…
Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is a pretty basic remaster of a game that could have stood to see more improvements. It’s not terrible, but Amalur shows its age despite some convenience overhauls. Still, the action RPG holds up really well, still looks nice, and boasts that excellent character building system…
Another Hyrule Warriors game is coming and it’s… a prequel to Breath of the Wild? Weird but… okay, I’m on board. Despite my goofing, I do like Breath of the Wild. More importantly, I like its world, but it was held back by a ton of frustrating decisions that soured…
Electronic Arts has done what Electronic Arts does best – take gross liberties and subsequently pretend it’s sorry. In yet another corporate backtrack, EA has had to remove ads from UFC 4 after smuggling them in post-launch. UFC 4, which costs a basic shell price of $59.99, is a corporate…
I make no secret of my biases. My preferences and aversions are pretty well known, but some feelings just can’t be worn on a regular sleeve. In other words, I cannot express my contempt for Ubisoft enough. The company just doesn’t stop – has never stopped – giving us grim…
Nintendo is pulling yet another classic Nintendo Move with the recently revealed Super Mario 3D All-Stars. A collection of Super Mario 64, Mario Sunshine, and Mario Galaxy are coming to Switch with a Nintendo-flavored catch. Because Nintendo manufactures scarcity despite claims to the contrary, Super Mario 3D All-Stars will only…
http://www.thejimquisition.com https://www.thejimporium.com It may have the powerful Marvel license behind it, but make no mistake – Marvel’s Avengers is just another forgettably mediocre “live service” waste of time. A lifeless, colorless, utterly humorless take on the Marvel universe, Avengers’ overall sloppiness and visually horrendous presentation doesn’t help. And on top…
We’re fast approaching a new generation of consoles, and we don’t even know what they’ll cost or when they’ll come out. But we DO know that Sony might allow you to preorder one from them if you’re very good. As we hurtle toward next-gen in a year where people literally…
Marvel’s Avengers is only looking worse and worse as we hurtle toward its release date. It’s beyond clear that Square Enix and associates are looking to turn this thing into a corporate gravy train. Also, it’s got lots of battle passes! Every single post-launch hero will get their own $10…
Activision is the latest publisher to aid in normalizing a new price point for so-called “AAA” videogames going forward. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will cost $69.99 on PS5 and Xbox Series X. Because of course. While some will be quick to point out how publishers “need” to…
