Nvidia dropping 32-bit PhysX support for the 50 series (and presumably onwards) is so cringe. I wasn't gunning to upgrade, but now I probably won't do so until later series of cards can run emulated PhysX well.

Patches are great, but it's crazy that games can be fundamentally changed post-purchase. If something you love gets patched out, should you be able to get a refund? Constant updates for single-player games also makes me hesitate to play them; I just want the best experience the first time around.

The Invincible title card gag gets me every time, it's so stupid.

Is it blasphemy to say I'd quite like a Super Metroid remake? I love a lot about the game - the atmosphere, the world design, the way it teaches without telling - but I'm not a fan of the floaty, imprecise controls, or any of the boss fights. A remake in the style of Dread would be peak.

Hope Neowiz/Round8 do a complete edition physical of Lies of P at some point. Genuinely one of my favourite souls-likes, even including FromSoft ones. Played through the base game on Game Pass, so don't really feel like buying it again digitally just for the DLC, but I'd buy a disk version for sure.

It's annoying how many Microsoft Store versions of games lack feature parity with their Steam equivalents. Often missing upscaling options and completely missing launch options, meaning there's no way to force DX12 in games where it improves performance. It's no wonder PC Game Pass hasn't taken off.

Shinobi and Ninja Gaiden: Ragenbound look fire, both visually and in their gameplay. Always nice to see promising looking retro revivals.

Going through the full Doom series right now in preparation for The Dark Ages. Feeling very Doompilled. Have so far got through Ultimate Doom, Sigil 1 & 2, and Doom II. Working my way through the rest of Final Doom now. I genuinely think the classic games might be my favourite in the series.

Insane that you can pay 3x more than a PS5 Pro for a PC and - in certain ways - have a game experience that's arguably inferior to that of even the base PS5. Gamers investing in the most expensive platform deserve far better than consistently mediocre - and often downright bad - PC ports.

Cautiously optimistic about Doom: The Dark Ages. Gameplay seems to be exactly what I wanted out of a new Doom game - back to the classic feel of strafing around - but it seems like the story might be obtrusive, & I'm not sure how to feel about them saying it's a 'sandbox'.

Okami sequel is interesting, hope it's not as long as the first. 1 feels like you're playing a new, unique game and then its two incredibly derivative sequels straight after it. Hope Issun isn't as pervy as well, if he's in this one. Okami's attitude towards women isn't great.

I wish DualSense haptic feedback worked on PC. Would genuinely shell out for an adaptor or something, if that's what's necessary for it. Got Death Stranding DC in a Humble Bundle ages ago and really wish I could play wireless. The haptics really add a lot to the game.

Tried Monster Hunter Stories 1 & 2 today through the trial versions on PlayStation & was surprised by the disappointingly poor cameras in both games. Uncomfortably large deadzone in 1, and no way to turn off camera acceleration in 2. Not sure if I'm interested in the games anymore unfortunately.

I get that sites obviously don't want to adjust scores with each patch, but game reviews need to acknowledge tech issues more. Some games do not get patched. Elden Ring - released in early 2022 - still can't maintain a consistent 60FPS on even PS5 Pro. That's not to mention the stuttering on PC.
