Cloud streaming would be a nice feature, especially since you can get it using the unofficial PSPlay app; but it would probably require a mobile data connection (and I'm not sure how much data it would use, honestly).
So I see why they wouldn't include the cloud streaming feature, but as you said, it feels pretty feature light without it.
Do you know what aspects of Roblox you're brother likes (crafting, game building, the social aspect, etc)?
For a more crafting heavy game, there's Minecraft or Terraria (I think). For game building, Game Builder Garage on Switch, or Dreams on PlayStation might be nice. Unfortunately, I don't have any good social game recommendations, though.
I personally disagree.
While cash is the most useful gift, gifts aren't a utilitarian practice. A gift is an opportunity to show someone that not only do you really know them enough to choose something they would enjoy; but also that you're thinking about them, and that they are worth effort and thought to you.
Of course, good gifting gets harder as your giftees can afford what they want on their own, but that just makes the sentimental aspects even more important (in my opinion).
Honestly, I'm not sure. I don't have a lot of experience with PC gaming (or its related piracy), but there seems to be a lot of drama in the pirate community due to the difficulty in bypassing Denuvo.
In this particular case, a good Switch emulator may be enough to bypass it; but my guess is it'll be more complicated and resource taxing on the Switch than a simple hardware check.
Personally, I'm not much of a PC gamer, so I don't have a lot of personal experience with Denuvo; but this sounds pretty concerning.
My understanding is that by Denuvo LoJacking into every part of the game, it seriously hampers performance; and the Switch is underpowered enough as it is. I can only imagine how poorly games will run if the Switch has to devote resources to Denuvo as well.
Plus, from a preservation standpoint this is terrible too. Even if the studio drops Denuvo down the line, it will forever be included on the cartridge. This means that in the future, the only way to play this game will have to be an emulated copy, since you won't be able to get the update to clear the (no longer supported) Denuvo from the game.
Personally, I don't see any draw over just using a Kishi style controller with your phone.
Even if you wanted a standalone device. It would be cheaper to buy a cheap phone to go with the controller, and then you could use it for local emulation.
I wish it had the WiiU style connection (instead of going through WiFi), since at least then it could be used for interesting asymmetric multiplayer games, or multiplayer games without screen splitting. Maybe they'll add that down the line, though...
Overall, I thought it was a cute enough movie.
The CGI and costume looked rough to my eyes, but I gave it more slack afterwards when I found out this was originally slated to be an HBOmax release. The superhero aspects also felt a little played out and dragged a little, but nothing that was an active detriment to the movie
Where the movie really shines, though, is the family. They are the heart of the movie and have phenomenal chemistry. I'm glad they're carrying over to the James Gunn universe, as it would have been a waste of elephantine proportion to lose this cast. As a quick aside, I wish we got a little more of the dad and a little less of a George Lopez, but their overall dynamic was still great.
My biggest issue with the movie, though: not enough Harvey Guillén! He's great in What We Do in the Shadows and when I saw him on screen, I was anticipating him to steal the show in Blue Beetle. Unfortunately, he did not get nearly as much attention as I'd hoped; but I pray he'll somehow return for the next one (though I doubt it).
I think it should be OK. The movie was rated PG, though it feels like it rides the line with PG-13 a little. I saw the movie almost a week ago so I don't remember exactly what made me think that at the time, but I was a little surprised by some of the musical cues (though my understanding is some of them are in the trailers). When I said it was adult, I just meant that it didn't talk down to the audience in a way that would annoy adults
I personally didn't find any of it particularly objectionable, but I might not be the right person to ask. This website seems to think 11+, but this is the first time I've looked at the site so I'm not sure how accurate their rating system is.
Xbox's Backwards Compatibility is definitely a big deal; but as someone who loves old games as a concept and has never thrown out a console, it's not as big a selling point as you would think/ hope.
I personally wanted to try some of the PS2/PS3 only games and didn't have a PS3, so I bought one used a while back. I probably only logged maybe 10 hours in it before getting completely side tracked by my backlog of modern games. And while I know that's anecdotal evidence, it really seems like the allure of classic games might not be enough of a selling point.
This is something I think Xbox had the right idea about. While BC is very useful in concept, there aren't so many classic games that would draw people away from modern games; so you only have to support those few games.
With that in mind, I think Sony could offer BC for their relevant PS2/ PS3 exclusives since they would only need to guarantee emulator performance for a much smaller number of games. I don't think it's likely for Sony to do this until they are no longer the dominant console, though, as they can make more money selling their PS3 subscription service.
From a game presentation standpoint, BC is a huge issue and I would personally love to see it happen for the PS5 (and I'd like to see it expanded to all games for the Xbox as well); but I doubt there would be much return on investment for developing the BC features, and that's the only motivation for corporations.
I recently saw the new TMNT movie and I have to say I really liked it a lot. I didn't grow up with the TMNT, so it's hard for me to say how accurate it is to the originals, but I thought the animation was phenomenal and the story itself was very solid too.
I've seen a lot of people praising the animation, so I'm not going to include too much detail on why I liked it (to avoid retreading too much ground), but I really liked how grounded and relatable everyone's motivations were. Wanting to fit in and be a part of a community is such a quintessential human experience; and lashing out from fear of rejection is extremely relatable as well.
The humor seems aimed pretty solidly at millennials (based on the references made throughout the movie), and I was surprised how adult this kids' movie was.
Overall, I greatly enjoyed this movie; and after Barbenheimer last week, it's been a good week for movies for me
