I agree. Last gen, it was at a spot where a "Pro" console enabled people to upgrade to 4k (usually checkerboard, but still) and many times enabled going to more or less 60fps over 30fps. I just don't see a lot of games that could take that somewhat minor spec benefit and turn it into a...

I'm wondering if that promised single player offline patch every happens, or if it did so bad they just choose to cut it and forget about it.

I tried the demo on PC/Steam last night. The game is good and felt fine there (and I don't have a beefy PC either). Going to try it on XBox tonight. It plays well and feels like Contra, the dash and double jump are good editions, although the double jump kind of makes path choices irrelevant...

That's the thing, they put all this painstaking detail into those things, then basically just waved the diving detail part. Just sort of a walking simulator with vertical movement. I'm just of the feeling that if you want to go fantasy-like, then go all the way like Dave the Diver. If you...

And none of the Endless Ocean games have really done a decent job of capturing actual diving. Obviously you don't want to do all the technical details, but it really doesn't even seem to try. It doesn't look real (even this new one), and it's just a hodge podge of sealife thrown together in...

They are now. Even with Best Buy Plus which I subscribed to to get couple of those B1G1 Switch deals. They often pack things then takes days to hand it to the shipper, especially when it is Fedex or ShipIt (especially). I had a package that was to be delivered by ShipIt that went through the...

Yeah, Best Buy support has gotten worse and worse over time. Was especially fun the other day having a rep tell me that the order I made on a product on sale would have to be re-ordered after it was "lost" in shipping, and oh by the way they wouldn't be honoring the sale price for the re-order...

Yeah, I find myself getting distracted quite easily while swinging to an intended designation. I really enjoy the side missions, like crime stopping and taking pictures. I'm early on in the game but keep finding myself getting side tracked even though I'm anxious to move the story along. And...

You are spot on here, use a credit card for pre-orders, then they can re-auth to their hearts content and you aren't out anything. Ideally even use a store card if you have one and pay off immediately when the game ships and the bill arrives. I have a debit card, but do NOT use it for anything...

That's why it seems so ... stark. They used to be really solid, and I missed Gamer's Club but they were still the most reliable and consistent place to order. But these days. Yeah, sometimes they get it here exactly on release, but when they miss - they miss big time. And won't do anything...

Well that would be interesting, as they haven't given me any refund despite the first rep saying they would. If it is delivered and they come after me for a refund they never gave me it will be some phone rep's worst day ever. Because I'm not the one to just sit back and take it. But that...

Yeah, I knew about that. The issue is when they ship (usually via Fedex) and it takes like 4-6 days to arrive instead of the 2 you should be getting with Plus (it's one of the perks). Then they say "shipper problem" and do nothing to make up for it. It's also particularly crappy when they...

Best Buy has gotten so bad lately, particularly in customer support.  I had Lords of the Fallen pre-ordered for two months and they didn't even ship it until last Friday night.  Then they used Fedex which has bounced it around multiple states not remotely near mine including losing it for two...

My son tells me the game takes place around episode 600 or so and you are at around the equivalent of 60-100 if you are on the live action. It seems pretty cool turn based RPG with subtitles (not dubbed with English if that bothers you) but there will be new crew characters, backstory and...

For a second there I thought you meant Superman for the 2600. Because that game was pretty cool. Definitely better than 64.

It does look really fun. Seems to have that Rayman Origins/Legends type gameplay, which we will probably never see another in that series - so it might be the closest we get. It is apparently being made by the company that did the new Battletoads game on XBox and that was really good and had...

Some paint on top of a color controller they already have is pretty much what they always do with special edition controllers, I don't see how this is a legitimate complaint. My wife loves her Hogwarts Legacy controller, but it is literally just a black DualSense with some gold paint over it...

"Two years" is the CAG equivalent of The Money Pit's "two weeks".

Yeah, if there is no money they can pay out, and no assets they can seize then you're just out of luck unless somehow some assets are discovered. Depending on how the company was formed, the owners are typically protected with their personal assets unless they obviously just gave themselves a...

It's a Black Friday model, they like to do things like that to cut down the cost on those low price models for the holiday. It doesn't jump out at you and honestly doesn't affect a lot of people that are just looking for a big TV to watch. But yeah, that is definitely something to look for...
