DRM once again screwing over Playstation Users


"Digital Ownership, Or How A Bunch Of PlayStation Content Got Stolen (The Jimquisition)"

 

My interest in modern game consoles after the Wii/360/PS3 generation has increasingly declined with each generation, and it's partly because ownership is getting more and more scarce. When I went to buy an new Xbox One X for my family, I even had to hunt down one with a disc drive because microsoft is bafflelingly expecting me to buy some digital-only piece of crap version of the console, completely cutting off access to all the game discs we own (?). If they're taking away movies, who's to say they won't take away your digital game purchases, too?

 This is why it's important to support to support DRM free media and software, and snub all those greedy slobs who want to sell you nothing but a vague rental license.



Also, on a lighter note, there's a fun little song towards the end of the video and I hope Steph eventually puts out an album collection of the songs from their videos.

Dead Space (Xbox 360) Review

  Dead Space is a survival horror game set in - you guessed it - space! Specifically, the USG Ishimura. You'll follow protagonist Isaac Clarke as what started as a an attempt to fix up a spacecraft turns into an wonderful example of "everything that can go wrong definitely will". The story takes several twists and turns and you'll even get to venture beyond the game's central location a few times! As usual, I won't go too deep into the story because I'd like you to be able to experience it for yourself if you've never played the game! I quite it enjoyed it though, and the game created a good sense of isolated fear while also making me concerned for the safety of Isaac's few surviving crew-mates throughout the game. The combat is very intense as most of the creatures you'll encounter move in a very violent and erratic manners, and you'll want to target their weak points - usually the limbs. Thankfully, the game has a cool upgra...

  Fractal Space Demo Review (Xbox One) I recently decided to start making a list of interesting looking Xbox One game demos to try out, and I figured as long as I’m trying them out, I could review them too! It might seem strange for me to be reviewing a games demo over its full release, but I can’t always afford to be buying new games, and sometimes I want to buy a game but it has DRM or it’s from a company I don’t want to give money to so I just play the free demo instead. Speaking of such -many companies won’t even put demos out for their games anymore, (or if they do it’s a limited time only DRM affair) so as a potential customer, I want to let y'all know that getting try your game before I pay for the full version greatly increases the chance of me being interested in doing so! All that said, onto my review of this charming little game demo, Fractal Space! Fractal S...
