If you're ever interested in demystifying Elden Ring and want a comprehensive lore breakdown, I encourage you to watch this man's series of videos. Highly entertaining and intelligent.

Don't let yourself be bullied by these people; don't let them tell you that you can't describe behavior as animalistic and chimpanzee-like if it's exhibited by a certain race.

*Any* person who behaves like an animal can be described as such, and we know that chimpanzees scream, flail their arms, and jump atop things during conflict, so the usage is definitely appropriate when describing these altercations.

"Journalists" have a problem with everything because as people have stated, they're really left-wing activists.

Remember that stupid white phosphorous "controversy" they cooked up when MW 2019 was nearing release? We were entreated to IGN's moaning over a killstreak that, visually speaking, was completely mild - just a haze in the play area that featured coughing and small flames. Also, an inferior choice killstreak-wise. They even 'consulted...

If you're a console player, it's definitely much more palatable due to the 60fps update. It's definitely worth a look if you're someone who didn't like the state of the game at release, but saw potential.

Shocker.

He'd never blame himself, so he's trying to score points with the kids by blaming capitalism. One of the biggest capitalists is blaming capitalism for his and Xbox's failure.

He's not wrong. Fights break out in these places all the time and the behavior is very chimpanzee-like. The perpetrators are rowdy, raucous, and destructive. There is no denying this. Calling the perps "chimpanzees" is appropriate.

It's not about skin color - it's about behavior.

We can always count on your deflection when it comes to the issue of anti-white racism in gaming.

First you'll condemn the website(s) and the people calling attention to the issue. Then you'll cry foul over the topic being discussed when it's clearly gaming related. Then you'll point out what you perceive to be anti-minority comments on this site. You'll condemn everyone and everything *except* for Dani Lolanders and her racism, which is *the* issue. <...

Usually I don't play multiple games at once, but Elden Ring was a new, unique Souls game with the GoT author having made tremendous writing contributions to the game, and this wasn't going to wait for anything.

I did have fun with the latter half, but I never had an honest-to-goodness grasp of the story.

That aside, I do remember that the presentation and production was top notch from beginning to end - the characters an...

I enjoyed Forbidden West, but I stopped about halfway through to play Elden Ring. I then became addicted to Elden Ring and didn't revisit Forbidden West until about 8 months later, resulting in a rather disjointed experience that I barely remember story-wise.

Here's hoping they give their next release a wide berth.

The office gives workers a sense of urgency and keeps them diligent. There's a healthy fear in the workplace atmosphere that pushes people to do their best. Regimentation is healthy as is physical human interaction.

I completely disagree with this lazy new order.

Indeed it is.

Absolutely.

Sorry, it still looks blurry and low res. I don't see any sharpening either. I'll live; just continue in Graphics like I've been doing.

Also, from the article:

"For those wondering how big of a difference the modes are, we did a very quick comparison of the two. We had to zoom into the image as the differences were very hard to notice."

Just booted it up to test. Very unimpressed. Still looks awful.

I'm glad reviewers are starting to crack down on bloat.

Also, copious map markers with explained objectives/activities really take away any sense of adventure and wonder, turning games into banal to-do lists. Games are so much more fulfilling and interesting without them.

Which would very welcome to me.

I really, really hate the resolution decrease in FFVII Rebirth when switching to performance.

When I think of "PRO" PlayStation consoles I don't think of huge increases over the base model across the board. I don't expect a PS6, but a nice bump to the PS5. That's what we're getting here. For some, the increases will be absolutely worth it and for others not so much.
