Bayonetta creator Hideki Kamiya wants us to drop the "retro" game label

But is pretty keen on “JRPG” PlatinumGames co-founder,Bayonettadirector and celebrated Twitter shoutyman Hideki Kamiya would like the"retro" game labelto go out of fashion. His argument is that calling something “retro” is inherently condescending - each game has its own particular achievements and qualities that deserve to be understood in terms of more than just nostalgia cultivated by a novelty-driven industry.

Logitech's G502 X gaming mouse hits $50 in the US with this coupon

Similarly, Logitech are on the optical switch train now, but with a hybrid design that retains the snappiness of mechanical switches , which works well I think. Each of the buttons are easy to reach without adjusting your grip, and the side trigger can even be mounted two different ways to bring it closer if needed. The ratcheting/free-spinning scroll wheel works as well as it always has, All in all, it’s a very solid mouse for the money, and at $50 I think it’s definitely worth picking up for anyone that wants to treat themselves to a modern high-end gaming mouse....

Baldur's Gate 3 absolutely trains you in the noble art of savescumming

I quicksave this game on average every 6.27 minutes After doing some back of the fag packet style calculations, I have determined that I saveBaldur’s Gate 3- the ole' F5 quicksave, baby - a bit over every five minutes.

Both Edders and Graham found out that you can die almost immediately upon finishing the tutorial and encountering a dying bit of ocotopus sashimi in a crashed ship; fail a roll involved in talking to this unfortunate mind flayer and that’s it....
