That XboxEra review isn’t very helpful at all.

While I personally wasn’t a fan of Dauntless, I respected it and I’m sad to see it go. I’m a huge Monster Hunter fan but understand the importance of competition and how it benefits gamers.

I think you know what they meant.

Just a tad miffed that I had to put in my own leg work (because I’m lazy) to figure out this is coming out to all major platforms. Not just Steam.

This cartoon was my childhood and I’ll be grabbing this day one!

Well, it really hasn’t given me much reason to upgrade from my PS4 Pro. So…Yeah…

PS3 backwards compatibility would’ve sold me though.

I’m hoping that one day Steam will have apps for home consoles so I can play Steam games on my Xbox whatever without hassle. That would be cool.

I play my Switch docked 99.9% of the time. One thing holding me back with Steam Deck is I keep hearing about complications with trying to play it docked on TV.

But we got Candy Crush Solitaire now, right?

This whole generation has been messed up from the word go. Scalpers ruined my chances of getting a PS5 (and I went with Xbox for the very first time since they had a payment program) and I’m still very sore about that. Anyone remember “Oh Deer”?

Nintendo doing whatever the fuck they want, making the Switch last the Wii U’s latter-half of a generation and then its own generation. The Switch 2 coming in so late to this generation that you have to wonder if we can even call them Nintendo/PlayStation/Xbox generations anymore and instead it’s PlayStation/Xbox with Nintendo it’s own category of generations now.

Xbox making a high-end console with a mid console and forcing the same games to be released for both. Sounds extremely consumer friendly, but made things a headache for developers who probably felt held back by it.

Sony…where do I begin. I guess my main gripe with them is that they’re still giving the middle finger to PS3 backwards compatibility on PS5. (Yes I know about the Cell and blah blah blah. Don’t care. Make it happen, get my money. Capice?) The PS5 Pro might’ve been where I finally hopped on, but eh. My PS4 Pro is still going strong and they don’t have anything that entices me to make the leap after I invested in Xbox Series X.

And so many games being cross-gen this time around. Holly hell. I understand why that is, but I feel like this is the most blah generation ever. There have been some awesome games for sure, but overall it felt not very exciting.

And Microsoft not really seeming to care about all this because they feel they’re on a different plane of existence now and consoles are trivial to them since your toaster can now play Xbox games.

So instead of having a 3-way drumline competition, they’re just parading off in different random directions through town.

I wish the Final Fantasy III 3D remake would be ported to consoles. I loved it on DS and always wanted to play it on a big screen. It came to phones, PSP, PC, and the Ouya of all things. So why the hell can’t I just play it on my Xbox? Sheesh.

(I actually considered getting an Ouya once just so I could play FF3 3D remake. Glad I didn’t.)

What about 4?

Never played it myself, but goddamn is that Baba Yetu song awesome. It’s been on my playlist for many years.

So like a fruit basket and a pat on the head?
