I'd love it more if it didn't slow the game down (both cases). 

I could be wrong, but I don't think this reboot is quite AS combat heavy as the PS2 games (which I honestly might end up preferring for that reason), or at least the combat is more strategic than button mashy. Never played any of the OG GoW games though, so I could be all wrong. 

It's still a bit clunky now, to be honest, re: Okami. That camera's lack of inversion is ... off. And there are a lot of dialogue boxes I really wish it let you speed up. It has its issues, but it's calming enough. 

Yeah, not jumping sometimes trips me up, but I do like the albeit weird control scheme otherwise. My only issue with the camera so far is where "boy" shoots arrows. Just finished getting to the peak of the mountain, if that tells you anything. It was weird to fight a giant boss and still have to climb. 

Good to know about the armor. I think I've more or less been doing what you said to and I've so far been enjoying the inverse difficulty, but that's cause I just started feeling more powerful. 

Your description of DQXI reminds me so much of Yakuza ... weird. 

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is definitely one of my most wanted games, but I have such a backlog I may get it on sale. Same with Detroit. 

Look forward to the updates. Happy birthday, Pixlbit!

My current gaming laptop is ASUS ROG Strix, which was about $1000. I recently had issues with the keyboard that were resolved by customer service telling me to uninstall the ATK drive and install the driver they gave me. While it was quickly fixed once I complained, I'm still upset there was even an issue this close to when I bought it in May. 

Most Spider-Man games are pretty average, but can be fun. I definitely think Insomniac elevated pretty much every aspect of the franchise, even if parts of it are still so-so. Looking at you, challenge missions. 

Persona 5?

1) Damn. In my defense, MC and Doom guy look similar. Still need to get 2016 Doom on PC. 

3) Wouldn'ta got that

6) Son of a bitch, I knew I recognized that character! That one I shoulda known ... even though I've yet to play a Silent Hill.

9) Not even familiar with that franchise/game, but I've heard of it

Yeah, Katamari looked like* it used the most original assets. What was painful about Doom reflection? I may* or may not* be able to help

*I taught this program, but not really for stuff like this (pretty much used it for photography or ad/mag cover designs), so take anything I say with a grain of salt.

Let me see if I can get this:

1) Halo

2)Katamari Damacy

3) Hmm ... who has a chainsaw? Friday the 13th? If you pick up a chainsaw?

4) Kingdom Hearts

5) Bloodborne

6) Alice in Wonderland? Shit, I recognize that character, but bunnies have me confused. I know it's not actually AiC ... but ... is it???

7) Mario of some variety

8) Horizon Zero Dawn

9) Nioh?

Katamari Damacy is my favorite, because it looks the most varied in terms of what's in it and I tend to like the lighter ones here. 

At least one thing in that article is a bit outdated, as PS Now actually does offer dowbloads now (FINALLY). And the article seems to be talking about NES, SNES, N64 era stuff, but when I said lots of ports were coming I meant from last gen; at least, I've seen lots of folks get excited for those. 

I don't disagree with the article, but I think we might be talking about different things. I'm not really sure, since I'm pretty ignorant of Nintendo these days.
