On my business card, I am factory worker. In my mind, I am a game enjoyer. But in my heart, I am a hater.

English is my third language and I don’t use translators, so be polite if I make no sense.

Desaparezco un tiempo hasta que dejéis de comerle los huevos a Valve como nos os cansáis de decir que hacen otros con otras corporaciones.

Volveré? Seguramente, aunque seguro que seguiréis comiéndole los huevos al supermercado online ese.

Valve is a genius corporation. Does almost nothing at all for gaming but be a supermarket for others work and even then could make the Steam Turd and people will go bonkers about it.

People make other hardware manufacturers seem pointless but they’re making games to sell the systems at least.

Yeah, buy your games digitally on Steam. This way you surely show companies that physical media is important to you.
Sigh... Nintendo Switch 2 Game Key Cards = If you want that to change, then not buying the key cards is only the first step. You cannot buy the digital version either.

If you really, REALLY want that game, get it on Steam or PS... or X-Box I suppose (mad at them).

Recordad que lo habéis leído aquí antes:

Cuando Sony abandone totalmente los exclusivos, de repente el discurso cambiará y los exclusivos serán el diablo.

Ya pasó con el E3, y nadie ha pedido disculpas (prensa) por el resultado de enterrar esa feria en pos del tremendo mierdolo que es lo del Geoff

La siguiente ya está en el horno y le quedan dos telediarios para salir, pero seguid comprando esta o no llegamos a los números que nos hemos propuesto.
Regarding PlayStation’s future strategy, the PS5’s life cycle appears to be extending...

“There are many active users enjoying the console." "So from that perspective, we believe that the PS5 is only in the middle of the journey, and we are really planning to expand it even further”

4th game? More like 6th or 7th game. Tactics and New Vegas are legitimate entries in the saga.
Today marks the 10th anniversary of the release of ‘Fallout 4’ on Xbox One, PS4 & PC (11/10/15). The 4th game in the post apocalyptic RPG series takes place in Boston in the year 2287. In its first 24 hours of launch, it generated $750 million in revenue.

I have a panel connected that could be show me TV programs, but I choose to not do that. Same with AI.

If that bothers you, you are part of the problem and a cooperator.
“I don’t use AI” is rapidly becoming the new “I don’t have a TV”.

(By the way, if you use apps, you do.)

Breve hilo de porqué Dragon’s Dogma Drak Arisen es el mejor juego de la historia. No voy a argumentar, es un hecho, un axioma y por lo tanto solo voy a mostrar cosas que puedes hacer.

En Dragon’s Dogma Dark Arisen puedes:

Morir de un golpe aún teniendo un nivel adecuado porque “físicas”

Metroid, and is not even close.

Metroid could be actual cinema. Could.

Nintendo doubles down on movie production. Which franchise is most deserving of a movie adaptation outside of Mario and Zelda?

Biopics are essentially Oscar baiting and more times than not, pure revisionism.
The first teaser for “Michael,” the long-waited Michael Jackson biopic, is out:

Dragon’s Dogma 1, Symphony of the Night and Terraria.

Rare being so big is at this point blatant revisionism, and I think that have some to do with current Nintendo hate.
People whose window into gaming in the 90s was Normalboots/Jontron videos think Rare carried gaming at the time but really it was Capcom, Konami, Square, and Activision who were doing that.

Rare was barely a footnote outside of being the one consistent developer on the N64 that wasn't in-house

I will keep not buying PlayStation products no matter what the competition does.
The thing with PlayStation is they're in a very good place to bounce back from because PS5 has been selling well despite everything and more of the console crowd are bound to see PS6 as the *only* option after Xbox terribly mishandling all the operation, not just software.
November 6, 2025 at 10:19 AM
Yeah, that’s not true at all lol. Now Rare are a corpse and Nintendo keeps delivering banger after banger and some other little things between.

I hope continues to non exist forever.
RUMOR: Sony reportedly preparing Cross-Buy between PS5 and PC

Players may soon be able to buy a game once and own it on both platforms.

However, if implemented, it would likely work through a new Sony PC service, essentially a PlayStation Store for PC, which doesn’t exist yet.

Sam thing with youtubers and streamers. If you solely interact with a link and a bunch of tags, I don’t go to your channel. First build a close circle, interact, talk, discuss… and then post the link.
I saw a post of an author complaining that they weren't making any sales here and would leave if they couldn't.

Here's the thing. No one's here to follow people who ONLY talk about and push sales. This is not a sales site. We're not here to be advertised to. This place is for community, first.

A ver cuánto tarda Sony en decir que ha venido unos cuantos millones de PS2 más. Ya lo ha hecho como tres veces y con la consola más muerta que chanquete. Pero se le acerca la Switch y son como son.

Imagínate ser fan de los Simpson. Después de comerle las bolas a Elon Musk y de pasar de ser una serie transgresora a una serie que simplemente quiere molar. Imagina pensar que sigue siendo relevante.

Espero que fortnite sea el último clavo del ataúd
Fortnite has teamed up with The Simpsons in one of the most unexpected crossovers yet! 🎮💛
From Springfield skins to themed items and emotes, fans are already buzzing about what this collaboration could bring.

✨ But is this really a perfect match — or just another gimmick?

The final act of the Indy DLC got way too combat focused for my taste, but it was also more of my 2024 GOTY so I give it a ehhhhhh it was pretty good out of 10.

Jugando a Dragon’s Dogma Dark Arisen en la Switch 2 y me han entrado todas las ganas de jugar el contenido de esa versión con las mejoras de calidad de vida y gráficos del 2. Las clases se sienten un retroceso después de jugar a la secuela pero en contenido gana de calle el original.

Avowed manda!

Está medianamente bien escrito, el mundo es precioso y tiene un parry que mola!

Ojalá en Switch 2.
This weekend we are going to be talking about video games that are being slept on.
The latest Pillars of Eternity, Avowed, has hardly made a splash in conversations this year. What is a game (new or old) that doesn’t get the love it deserves? What did you think of Avowed?

The worst biggest mistake is that they exist.
What’s the biggest mistake Web3 game developers make? 🎮

According to Hantao Yuan, co-founder of Moku — it’s building traditional-style games for the wrong audience.

Deberiamos seguir hablado de Silksong y Hades II, entre otros, y no de Micro, Sony, Halo y demás chorradas

Se consume demasiado rápido este medio y grandes juegos pierden su relevancia, a la vez que su importancia e influencia, porque toca hablar de chorradas o nuevos juegos claramente inferiores

Yoshida doesn’t shaped the way most people play. Another Sony PR bulshit.
For my @gamespot.com debut, I had the honour of interviewing PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida.

From dealing with Nintendo's Sony betrayal, to overcoming the struggles of the PS3 generation, here's how Shuhei Yoshida shaped the way we play.

Covering the early days of PS1 to the struggles of PS3, GameSpot spoke to Yoshida as he reflected on his legacy at PlayStation, from its very inception until now, nearly four decades later
