So I noticed that there is a resolution option for the "native" resolution but I can't find anything definitive about why it's not used by default? Shouldn't it be the best, it's native so it's the default that's warped by a TV into 4:3 or 16:9 right?

Is there any reason to not do native? Does it not scale as well or something?

This. When a console lives so rent free inside of an individual's mind to the extreme of making him have the daily job of having to post about it for hours, then you know the console is good.

What is a critically panned game that you somehow like playing?

Hellnight got mostly mid-to-horrible scores by reviewers, and it undeniably has a barren and low-budget feeling for most of the experience. Still you can tell the devs and artists were genuinely inspired, it's an actually creepy and scary horror game with very effective art, music and writing.

I'm trying to remember if that glitch ever happened to me, and I feel like maybe it did once. I do know at times the monster is just so bullshittingly fast that it could seem like it got you from a distance but it actually caught up from running 200 times faster than you

Either way I believe you, and I understand dropping the game for it, but I think it's a very rare occurrence

There wasn't, as the rest of the journos gave it a good score. The IGN guy got mad at not getting gud and did that review, which led IGN to do a video in defense of God Hand.

Independent of the quality of the game, why are these fake covers so abundant? It's like those SNES games with the black K-A ESRB rating, which are fake since that rating got replaced by E before they changed the format to the black letter.

I assume it's not so much that they're fake, but simply images provided to reviewers and retailers. The actual Gun Club cover is pretty much identical to the one I originally posted, minus the black fill on top. I imagine whoever their graphic artist was accidentally bundled an unfinished cover with their promo material. Probably use a template like that when framing the image.

I don't know about shitty e-celeb rama but In cosmic fantasy 1 the text you get when dealing and receiving damage from normal attacks is reversed: when it says "Yu attacks monster for 80 damage" it actually means that the "Monster attacked Yu for 80 damage", same applies for your attacks.
Actual unplayable garbage, you'd knew this if you actually played the collection.

Fuck off. Someone needs to dump Cosmic Fantasy 3 and 4.

I recently picked this up out of curiosity of the mainline Spyro games I missed out on growing up. EtD is pretty mid so far, with really tanky controls and large empty spaces. Is A Hero's Tail worth getting once I finish?

They were both bad, but not bad-bad. Still "acceptable"
It's a game, it works as a game i suppose. But going from warped to WoC is surely bittersweet Same with Spyro 3 -> EtD

>>12507686
The only good Spyro games are those on the PS1, and maybe one GBA game iirc. The PS2 era games were fucking trash, you're not missing out.

>>12509350
WoC is an enshittified version of Warped. You get the same inconsistent gameplay, just with worse design decisions for the most part. But at least the ball levels are infinitely more fun than some of the Warped vehicle levels (airplanes and motorcycle are dogshit).

keyboard overlays like that weren't all that common. best you'd get is a manual. if you pirated the game then you were shit out of luck. seen a few overlays but they were never used because they're made out of shit paper that'll fall apart if you just look at it wrong.
