    I failed to discern much difference.
     
    The Edgelordishness (tm) is perhaps a bit sharper than it was in FFXV (pick a connotation), granted.
     
    But once you've hit the actual slums of the slums of FFVII, you've pretty much hit absolute, or, dare I say, FINAL Etropy.
     
    No more magic.
     
    Just a bunch of gay rocks.
     
    Maybe a boy band.

    I'm looking forward to getting into the dark souls lore a bit more after I finish dsr, and I can suss out what the basic story is, but Bloodborne was a lot better in that respect.

    It's not based on speculation. You get a large portion of the story by what happens in game,  listening to NPCs, and reading item descriptions. There's speculation around the edges, like deeper dives on Cainhurst or what happened to the groups of people in the chalice dungeon areas, but beyond that, the story isn't speculation at all.  They don't beat you over the head with it but it's an amazing story especially compared to dmc3's, but again, they're completely different types of games, and no one should expect DMC to have a story like Bloodborne. If you don't have the patience for it that's fine, but that doesn't make Bloodborne's story bad/non-existent and dmc3's story "great."

    I don't really get this mindset though.
     
    They showed a ton of games which you can buy separately or get through Game Pass.  Not sure what the downside is?
     
    It's kinda like saying you can't get hype about movie releases because Netflix has a subscription service.
     
    I think GamePass is a great value but it's not like the other option to buy games separately went away.

    As you have yourself mentioned, Sony is also doing cross-gen with PS4/PS5 titles.  Cross-gen games are not unique to Microsoft and will always exist in the period immediately after a new console gen launch.  After a while they will be phased out just like always.  I also don't know why you think that in the future all games are required to also run on Xbox One -- that's simply not the case.  Xbox One is going to be being phased out just like the PS4 is.
     
    Supporting both Xbox Series S/X is also not an issue, since they both have high-speed nvme SSDs, and games can be graphically scaled depending on the hardware they are being played on, just like with PCs.  Nobody has ever said PCs are holding back games, and graphical scaling on PC has been around forever.
     
    Ratchet was developed on PCs.  There's 0 reason you can't run that game on a system with a very fast pci-e gen 4 SSD.  It doesn't cost anything to list a suitably fast SSD as part of a game's minimum system requirements, so the idea that games will be held back because some people own mechanical hard drives is simply not going to be true.  That's like saying game development is being held back because some people are running outdated graphics cards.
     
    The only thing unique about Microsoft's approach is GamePass, which doesn't really have anything to do with performance targets or platforms -- which is why I was confused that you were hating on their strategy of letting more people play more games for less money.
     
    Microsoft isn't doing anything differently from Sony other than also having a really nice subscription service.  That makes them better in my eyes.

    One thing later DMC games lacked in comparison to dmc1 besides atmosphere is the enemies. Enemies is part 1 were SUPER AGGRESSIVE, like a Marrionete could fuck you up badly if they caught you slippin. Enemies would even  pull out new moves on harder difficulties to keep you on your toes, you'd have to use all the tools at your disposal to win
     
    For the most part besides bosses, most normal enemies were basically combo dummies after DMC1, and you only would need a few of your moves to beat them. I need enemies actively trying to murder me again back in DMC6 AND still look cool when I'm able to dispatch them

    I’m glad I didn’t watch that Ubisoft Forward. All that shit looks and sounds yawn worthy. The only part I would have cared about got leaked hours before. So it saved me having to sit through all that garbage. 
     
    Square’s stream is (technically) today at 12:15pm PST/3:15pm EST. I’ll definitely watch that. I honestly don’t give a shit about more FF7R or FFXIV content or even FFXVI content. I also DEFINITELY don’t give a shit about any new Marvel projects they have.
     
    I just want more modern console remasters/remakes and ports of past games from previous generations.

    Honestly I had no interest in GOTG before the show and was interested in Final Fantasy Origin. After watching the presentation, I'm actually interested in GOTG and give zero fucks about Final Fantasy Origin. Constant "Chaos" dialogue aside, I really don't care for the character design on the lead warrior of light. Looks like some grungy Fallout extra grabbed a buster sword and decided to call up the Dollar Tree versions of Prompto and Nagoriyuki. I guess they just ditched the concept of four warriors of light as well. Meh.

    He’s a cop. Lol. I haven’t read GotG in a minute. So marvel likely did what they’ve been doing: the brand restructuring initiative they’re currently doing where a lot of the characters are more in line with the movies. 
     
    which is exceedingly dumb to me.

    Detonating Radium Rifle.

    This thing is stupid.
     
    An explosive, radiation, and kinetic gun.
     
    Commando+Demo+Nuke Phys 2.
     
    It is as good as or better than any unique I have come across thus far.

    Superman was making damned sure that stupid little mouth breather gets the opportunity to reproduce and dilute the next gen gene pool enough that there will be no chance of a future Luthor.
     
    He was not only taking zero chances, he was making an impression, conditioning the kid to not think.

    Anything with Bass is more gay rapey than a Dumb and Dumber public bathroom scene without Harry's intervention. Which also involved a punk named Bass. Probably not a coincidence.

    that is surprising; I never expected there would be a sequel to Aragami, actually... I still haven't gotten far in the first one yet but I enjoyed what little I've played so far.
     
    On the Diablo front... Ethereal items?!?
    ...not so sure I like the idea of them being temporary though---they degrade eventually and cannot be repaired.  I know how oddly picky the Diablo fanbase is though, and a LOT of folks probably would've complained about another new higher tier of items pushing the powerlevels even further.
     
    ...heh, that's another one for the "unpopular opinions" topic I suppose... I LOVE the "power-creep" issue that tends to happen with most rpgs....it puzzles me why anyone would ever want to go backwards in evolution....to me it's like saying "hey, you know what would be cool in the next Dragonball series?  What if Goku and the other saiyans couldn't hit god power anymore, and everyone was powered down..."  nah bruh, fuck THAT.  This is a POWER fantasy.  I want my characters to be absolutely ridiculous when they hit level-cap and get optimized gear and build.

    I was never Pro-Xbox, thanks to the RRoD, and then the whole Always-Online debacle.
     
    But Game-Pass isn't streaming, so I don't get the hate.
     
    It is basically a way better version of PS Plus.
