    Persona 5 The Royal trailer and release date

    Christ, here's hoping they fix the glaring plot inadequacies. I remember when I first played it and toward the end the calendar just fast forwarded through a bunch of shit, I swear I thought I got the bad end.

    EA announces new single player Star Wars game by Respawn

    Hey, It's Star Wars. Why not? I always find though (at least in my experience) that the least good licensed Star Wars games are the ones that focus on Jedi and sith. Let's see, top five. Republic Commando, Battlefront 2 (05 version), KOTOR 2, Bounty Hunter and Rogue Squadron 2. Top five...

    The Playstation 5 is coming! First details

    A solid state drive? Impressive, maybe Bloodborne 2 will launch with acceptable load times. I hope to see something like a virtual console.

    Easy mode =/= accessibility.

    The intent there was that a particular class (whatever grade or course level it may be) represents a particular game. Sure, some students far behind or beyond its level of challenge may be able to complete it, but those who enroll or ?play? it are subjected to the same curriculum or challenges...

    Easy mode =/= accessibility.

    I haven?t played a Mario game since Sunshine, but I suppose it would apply there too, along with any other game without difficulty modes regardless of actual difficulty. Even Mario games are far more forgiving and give players more leeway to complete them than was common back in the classic...

    In a classroom of x-grade/course level students: Accessibility = Using any combination of audio-visual aid, writing/keyboard tools, etc. to help impaired students learn the curriculum presented at a required level. Easy Mode = Dropping the curriculum a grade/course level or two for certain...

    Easy mode =/= accessibility.

    So, the thought behind adding an easy mode to hardcore titles (discussion is usually centered on From titles) is that more people will be able to play them and therefore enjoy them and everyone's happy except for elitists. And while at it's core I'm not against that, I feel the conversation...

    Kotaku article re: Dragon Age 4

    The reason comparing Witcher 3's level scaling to something like Dragon Age is if you did sidequests at the level the game told you was optimal and kept your gear up to date, even on the hardest difficulty you were so overleveled that you could kill basically anything in the game by aggressively...

    New hard game comes out. Idiot press wants easy mode.

    People don't carry Aragami around in their pockets, digital downloads are kind of how it's done these days.

    New hard game comes out. Idiot press wants easy mode.

    Lot of hot takes. I've not played Sekiro yet because money, but I will say this: Anyone who thinks From games are hard is wrong and fell for a marketing tactic. "Oh yeah but people are struggling with Sekiro" Yeah, yeah. As a series veteran I saw the same thing when there was this buzz...
