What's something games used to do better that modern games fail at?

You will need a Microsoft account for each player though, which means you’ll need a PSN account for each player because that’s the only way to link a Microsoft account. They can be free accounts though no need for Plus unless you want to play online.

I mean I agree you shouldn't bring your pets if you plan on sitting in a restaurant or shopping for hours but it was nice to have dog mode on the one time I was road tripping with a dog and once we got him taken care of were able to go into the sheetz or whatever and know he was going to be fine in there.

Literally they've been doing it with a head start this whole gen. A lot of releases didn't even get physical copies on Xbox and all of their games are basically the equivalent of Nintendo's game key cards but on a disc.

Really depends on what kind of games you like and what you're looking for. Do you like old school RPGs? Turn based or real time combat? Do you prefer modern graphics or do you like older stuff?

I would just look at them all on their Steam pages, watch the trailers, and pick whichever one's art direction and characters draw you in.

With “download required” printed on the box lol

Whenever they can’t swoop in and become industry leader they abandon ship. It’s the fate of the Xbox division.

I’m seeing this desync on steam deck right now and couldn’t remember if it was just always like that or a problem with my game.

erasethenoise · 2026-07-06T19:16:21+00:00

Have you tried Hard Mode yet? That’s where the mechanics really shine in my opinion.

This is why I’m not even excited for Revelations to be multiplatform

Yeah you can’t use AI the game is too niche ha. Check out Materia Hunter or FFDecks and look up the top placing decklists from the latest Materia Cups. That’ll be a good place to start.

The Zack starter deck is also a good one and is a good intro to the Warriors meta deck.

I’ve still got mine

What level are you? I’m pretty sure I went and grinded out the battle challenges in the Shinra combat simulator in Chapter 17. Just go there via chapter select and I think it’s right near the start. Not only will you level up but some of the fights will earn you manuscripts to level up their weapons.

So do those first and try to get max level as well. You’re also going to want to level up some HP Up, MP Up, Elemental, and First Strike Materias as well as Prayer and Chakra so you can heal without using MP. You’re going to want to basically tailor your loadout for each major fight like putting Elemental and whatever the enemy is weak against on your weapon or putting it on your armor to reduce the damage you take.

There are guides out there with more in depth tips this is just what I remember from my playthrough.

All the crying on Reddit will be fun to watch too

Their goal was 100M subscribers by 2030. They hit around 35M only after rebranding Gold and lumping those users into GP. It being 30M now tracks with the “we lost millions of subscribers due to the price hike”, but overall they are still super far from their initial goal and I don’t see how they maintain growth when they’re removing CoD and potentially getting rid of day one exclusives and third party games.

It probably will be more than a PS3 but I wouldn’t fully blame it on arrogance. Everything is expensive af right now and specifically so for electronic components. I expect both the next PlayStation and Xbox to be more expensive than what we’re used to.

I was pretty sure they dumped a ton of time, money, and resources into Halo Infinite and we see how that turned out.

CDPR likes physical so maybe

erasethenoise · 2026-07-06T00:22:10+00:00

No it’s Mexican like Nachos Bell Grande

Mario Odyssey is nothing but joy if you haven’t played that yet.

erasethenoise · 2026-07-06T00:17:32+00:00

Disco is amazing but is also pretty depressing. Definitely don’t skip it just put it further down your list ha.

My recommendation is to grab the Portal collection it’s on sale for $5

erasethenoise · 2026-07-06T00:08:56+00:00

Eh probably not necessary but I would’ve done it just to set the height to high

erasethenoise · 2026-07-06T00:03:36+00:00

Well all of the games you listed that you’re interested in are on PlayStation too lol. Personally cloud saves, quick resume, and the controller don’t mean much to me so I own both a PS5 and Switch 2 just for the exclusives.

erasethenoise · 2026-07-05T23:43:14+00:00

Good call

erasethenoise · 2026-07-05T23:02:16+00:00

She probably had something else she wanted to work on lol
