 I have a Playstation 5. I do not have an Xbox Series X. Do I feel we should be making games almost exclusively for a console I do not have? Yes. Here is why: I fully believe that once you introduce a new hardware system, your focus should be on that system. I get that demand is higher than supply and not everyone can afford the newest tech, BUT I also feel that a lot of advancements are slowed or suffered through the lifecycle of that newest tech. When you are trying to make a huge, vast, next generation landscape with updated features but also trying to make sure to include it on a previous generation, not only does it take more time and effort to include the previous but it also lowers the capabilities of the new. Assassin's Creed Valhalla is essentially the same game on Playstation 4 & 5. How different would it be if it were ONLY on Playstation 5 nearly 2 years ago? I'm not saying you can't make games for last generation but when you are trying to advance features a

     It's not a matter of it being creepy, or spooky. It's a matter of me being SO bad at trial and error. I'm one of those people who, in the Dark Souls series, never learn. I will try the same technique over and over until I feel that I am just terrible at the games. Now, I HAVE completed Dark Souls 1 and 2. It may have taken me some years. Some tears. Some expletives. But I did it. Was it the hard way? Yes. Did I learn? No. That's what I am afraid of with Elden Ring. I LOVE these games. I LOVE the idea of them. I feel so accomplished when I beat a boss or get through to the next bonfire. I don't love the middle. The adapting. The trying out giant hammers instead of fast swords. I'm not saying these are bad things, I am just bad at them.  Gosh, does it look awesome though. There are mounts, giant enemies, open world. It's everything I  want. Then I see the videos of people getting dominated out of the skies, surprise ground attacks and misrolls into misfor

NBA 2K22 has released it's newest New(next) Gen patch! If you were experiencing games that were getting disconnected due to an error in the City, those issues and more are addressed in this patch! Some of the things fixed are: Additional stability improvements in an ongoing effort to improve your user experience. Fixed an issue that was causing City/Rec/Pro-Am/W Online games to disconnect either before the game started or at the conclusion of the game. Addressed an error code issue that was preventing specific MyCAREER saves from being able to load into the City. Significantly improved loading speed when re-entering the City from a building interior (Apartment, Rec, Pro-Am, Event Center, etc.). Improved framerate when navigating the City on the Xbox Series X console. Traditional broadcast cameras are now available for use in MyNBA once again. Fixed an issue that resulted in some MyNBA Online saves to overwrite other pre-existing saves. Gym Rat and On-Court Coach badges are now corr

BASKETBALL SEASON IS UPON US! You know what that means? That's right, another year of NBA 2K!   *PS5 game key provided to me by 2K. I was provided a code and not paid for my opinions I am going to get this out first: I LOVE this year's game. (All thoughts and opinions here are expressed from the Next Gen version.) Truthfully,  I wasn't the biggest fan of last year's and I feel it was because of the current/next gen tweaks that needed to be ironed out. That being said, we do have our fair share of problems here as well. They seem pretty miniscule in the overall sense of things, though. I can safely say that 2K22 feels great this season. Dribbling is fun, defense is THERE and the MyCareer makes you want to grind it out (in a good way). Shooting felt like I didn't need to spend 5 million VC to actually be able to shoot on the court. I am happy! Let's take a deeper dive, shall we? MyCareer This is what you're here for. The meat of the game is right here in MyCa
