    Issue with ultrawide monitors?

    In my case, with a Samsung G8 Ultrawide 1440p, having the monitor in 'standard' mode seems to disable 1440p in the S2's settings; I can choose 1080p with a standard 16:9 ratio, or 4K with it stretched across the screen. If I enable Gaming Mode, 1440p is the highest selectable resolution, and...

    PlayStation doubles price of Horizon Zero Dawn on PS4 following upgrade announcement

    While it's rare for a company to do this, it's not unheard of. NISA is one of the worst offenders, jumping prices for years-old games across the board, including bumping up Ys VIII's (already a game with a very troubled history) PC price some three years after its belated release, from $40 back...

    Palworld developer responds to Nintendo's lawsuit, claims they don't know which patents are being infringed upon

    Aside from the first one being overbroad from the summary - to the point of basically patenting deploying turrets - it appears the first one wasn't even filed until this summer. The second one at least dates back a few years (in the original JP filing) but hasn't been granted by anyone (not that...

    Palworld developer responds to Nintendo's lawsuit, claims they don't know which patents are being infringed upon

    I can't even imagine what patent this would infringe on that other monster-taming games don't - the only thing I can think of is so extremely stupid that it might be the only explanation for why Nintendo is deliberately withholding details: they've patented 'throwing ball-like objects as a means...

    Valve offering refurbished Steam Decks with a price cut

    $320 is an absolute steal - $25-35 more for a 512GB SSD (I picked up a Kioxia BG5 for about $28 last month, although you might have to shop around a bit), maybe an extra $10 for a screwdriver and spudger (if you don't have a small Phillips driver and a guitar pick already handy), and you've got...

    Hardware What is the rarest DS Flashcart?

    I used to have... I think it was called a FireCard? It was back in the days when the OG R4 was taking off, but it came with something like 1GB of built-in memory for the same price as an R4 without a microSD, and at the time it still would've been an extra $20 or so for a reputable 1GB microSD...

    Atlus's new RPG Project re Fantasy finally officially announced as Metaphor: ReFantazio

    It's the same as the Persona port trailers last year, they're not going to announce the other platforms immediately because Microsoft paid them not to. Obviously it'll be on the MS Store for Windows, but no reason to believe it won't also be on Steam.

    Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Series coming to Switch and PS4 on April 19

    The problem is that fonts in just about all of the menus and UIs are too tiny - almost nothing takes up more than 40% or so of the available horizontal space, leaving most strings barely legible and the UI itself looking comically oversized. If adding in a larger font - or even just an option...

    Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Series coming to Switch and PS4 on April 19

    And they still haven't bothered fixing the font issues. God, that'd be horrendous in handheld mode.

    Persona 5 Royal - Save file request

    Looking for a save file from around early to mid-September in-game, around the time Haru's dungeon opens up. If it's from someone following a full confidant completion or all confidant event path, even better, but beggars can't be choosers. I haven't had any luck getting PS4 saves running on the...

    Steam walks back decision to ban visual novel after fan outcry, Chaos;Head Noah now available

    If by ‘no issue’ you mean ‘a crash that prevents the player from viewing the true ending’ or ‘a localization that can’t keep its own terminology straight, much less any shared terminology with other games’, then yes, it was released on the Switch with no issue. Unsure if the Steam port suffers...
