Random Video Game Crap

Todd Howard has made it very clear in statements that he detests that New Vegas is as popular as it is because it's not as tightly bound to Bethesda as 3, 4, and 76 are.
 
Here's an interesting thing. To me, anyway.

I was in the mood to play Star Wars Jedi Survivor. Actually, I wanted to replay Fallen Order, too. I almost bought them together on PS5 for $40. Then I realized I could save money by subscribing to PS Plus. Then I noticed they were available through EA's subscription service.

So for $9 Canadian, I was able to rent them. Totally worth for games I'll likely not replay for a long time. Kind of amazing there are options like that out there these days instead of buying a full game.

For people with gaming pc's, Gamepass on PC is such an underused feature that is legit great.

Yep, I've subscribed to Game Pass in the past. It's great, although I find it's kind of the thing you ubsubscribe to until it gets a few new games. I had PS Plus for awhile but couldn't afford to re-up it this past year. Subscription services are great, though what you get out of them can be hit and miss sometimes.

First thought: what? Doom wasn't anywhere near 300MB
Oh wait, this is a new game, right.
Third thought: hasn't this been, sadly, the case for years now? I remember buying a "physical" game which literally just had the steam installer and a steam code on the box.
Oh wait, this is about the console versions.
Oh well.

Watching a YouTube video on the Crackdown series from a creator I've been following for a while. He's funny, and he does retrospectives on a lot of games I find interesting, but every once in a while he pulls out a line like, "People just don't get attached to video games the way they did back then," and... :facepalm:

FFS, dude. Just because you're desperately mining your childhood nostalgia trying to recreate the last time you were happy doesn't mean that no one else is experiencing joy in video games.
