Switching to diet doesn't help? Interesting.

I didn't grow up drinking soda so I basically only have it in mixed drinks lol.

Your body basically treats it like proper soda either way

I need to quit too but it just goes too well with food sometimes

I mean sure it's not EVERY game but it's most of the ones that matter and then some

Best of all is that you don't need a special console variant like the PS3 to pull it off

I have an Xbox One but I still keep my 360 plugged in for the games that aren't backwards compatible yet and then some

Sony better get their shit together because the Series X is looking like the absolute GOAT in terms of console software compatibility

The amount of power necessary to emulate something is exponentially more than the original device.

PS3 Emulation is just barely functional.

Oh I thought you meant to actually put Xbox One games on the system itself

I dunno why everyone hit a roadblock with the PS3/360 when it came to emulation, are the emulators just broken or do you need top tier specs to run it properly

Either way I'd rather just play it on the native hardware at that point

They claimed it wasn't originally gonna be in the game because they cut it to focus on the campaign, but later said they would be expanded and fleshed out to justify a separate release, which I'm okay with considering I have no real desire to play TLOU2's campaign but I do wanna experience the (marginal) upgrades to the gameplay

Do whatever the plot demands is literally the point of Hamon. And part 3 was mainly brute forcing most things. Imagine not thinking the La Squandra fights werent some of the most creative and clever fights in the anime. A guy with a fishing rod becomes a dangerous enemy.

"Hurr my Stand made scissors out of the iron in your blood"
>human body has about 4 grams of iron max

And the Grateful Dead fights were deja vu of the Part 3 with Dio, particularly when Buccarati had to stop his heart to prevent the enemy from realizing he was still alive

To be fair they did say the games were identical aside from some new colors/player team switching and it was already a re-release of a re-release of an older game

If there's ever a game to get a 0 I'd say that's pretty fair, and I'm part of the "can't spell ignorant without IGN" crowd

Of course people would. Rape scenes are very controversial in movies these days never mind games. Naughty Dog isn't that dumb.

Good question.

There's a scene in the first game that drew a lot of heat because people thought if you failed the QTE to escape the guy he rapes Lara (when in reality he was just trying to kill her), maybe people were reminded of that

I don't get the outrage about this stuff with Ubisoft, though. If this were in TLOU2 y'all wouldn't bat an eyelash
