Is it clear that I’ve never actually used my floating carrier as a skateboard? Because I think it’s abundantly clear 😭 #PS5 #DeathStranding2

Is the new PSSR a sneak peak at PS6 image quality? And what will be the difference between 5Pro/PS6 in the next cross-gen period? We've got some thoughts: www.digitalfoundry.net/features/is-...

This’ll be me trying to describe the Times Square Toys R Us to anyone born after 2013

After traveling all night, making it to the top of a hill as the sun rises with the Magellan in the distance is just sublime. It’s a small touch, but the day/night cycle in Death Stranding 2 makes a big difference for the overall atmosphere and vibe of exploration/deliveries. #PS5

Totally didn’t realize that racing game Screamer comes out late March. I’ve got my eye on that one!

Two years later, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth remains a truly special game and a high mark for the series. My review for it is also my favorite review I’ve ever done! Can’t wait for part three! Watch: youtu.be/6qoBKsatqV8?... Read: thecomfyspot.wordpress.com/2024/04/15/f...

Super appreciate Death Stranding 2 for this refresher that immediately pops up when returning to the game after an extended period of time! It’s been a few weeks since I played, and although I remember where I left off, this is great for such a story focused game.

#Marathon is cool, but I won’t be buying it next week. This is by no fault of the game itself! Gunplay feels excellent, the aesthetic/atmosphere is great, and I like the lore. I’m just not a fan of the extraction shooter gameplay loop. I hope it can succeed though!

As a Rook in #Marathon, the goal is to get in, grab stuff, and get out. Here, I came across a squad at the exfil, and while I wanted to be a peacekeeper and piggyback their exfil, things went south and I had to down two of them. I kept them alive though so we could all leave together!

stared at browt so much i had a vision

Every time a new Pokémon game is announced, I think “maybe this’ll one will get me back in,” and every time I end up skipping it. I anticipate repeating the cycle again with Winds and Waves. However, the starters are adorable (Pombon 🥹) and it’s a step up visually! Maybe the gameplay can hook me 🤞🏽

I present my new series, Gaming Check-In! Planned to release once a month, this series is where I’ll talk about the games I’m playing in a freeform, casual manner. This month, we’re talking God of War: Sons of Sparta, My Hero Academia, and more! Watch: youtu.be/umFoH86wqJQ?...

Great piece by Jason here that gives some insight into why Highguard felt like a mishmash of ideas, and why the team fell apart so quickly. Give it a read!

More layoffs are hitting games media 😩 God, this news sucks. All I can do is hope the best for all those affected

Reposting for the evening crowd! My new monthly series, Gaming Check-In starts today! Sit back and enjoy a fun chat about some games I’ve been playing!

I don’t have of an issue with most of these, even if I feel they’re largely unnecessary. But as much as I want Kairi to be a better character, you can’t give her playable sections in KH1 without fundamentally changing the story. Unfortunately, I don’t think those changes would be for the better.

I’ve long assumed that Marvel’s Wolverine would be a September game. Good to see my suspicions get confirmed. Can’t wait to play!

Not sure if it’s a great idea to hold a private player test the same weekend as the public Marathon server slam, but godspeed to Horizon Hunters Gathering here 🫡

As of today, there’s new leadership in charge of #Xbox. I went over it all in my latest video that’s live on the channel now, so go check it out.

New insight on the #Xbox leadership changes, courtesy of @tomwarren.co.uk. This is required reading for all! Key point: Sarah Bond was, surprisingly (or unsurprisingly given how this all came out), not in Microsoft’s good graces.

Yeah, I’m having a blast playing My Hero Academia: All’s Justice 😁 #PS5 #MHA

Time for my gaming junk food 🙂‍↕️

A major change is coming to #Xbox leadership as Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond are leaving the company, effective immediately. What does this mean for the future of Xbox? Let's talk about it! Watch: youtu.be/ZGGQhSK357U?...

Recorded my thoughts on the big Xbox news. Video goes live tomorrow at noon!

God of War: Sons of Sparta completed! No formal review on this, but expect to hear thoughts from me on it soon 👀

Yesterday it was reported that #PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games. It's a terrible, baffling move, and the latest casualty of the company's live-service push this generation. Let's talk about it. Watch: youtu.be/ayEBUTxhJ9Q?...

One thing I like about One Piece is how Oda largely changes up the crew’s outfits with each new arc. It makes the characters feel more real and not static for the duration of the series. Dandadan did this as well and it was wildly refreshing there too. I wish I saw more anime do this!

here's Xbox president Sarah Bond's memo to Microsoft employees

Breaking news at Xbox!!! Phil Spencer is Retiring, Sarah Bond OUT annnnnd former President of Core AI at Microsoft Asha Sharma now the new CEO of Xbox... My thoughts: youtu.be/SlbxnPHMN04

Exactly this! I’m very interested in learning about what happened here because this is a wild breakdown of leadership

the immediate impact is one thing, but this is one of those weeks in the industry that's gonna ripple out over years, in ways we'll only learn about through reporting. so i guess i'm saying, now is a great time to support and read the work those reporters are doing, so they can chase it.

We’re likely about to find out Phil Spencer’s significant worth to Xbox. Whichever way it shakes out, Microsoft gaming will never be the same. Happy retirement, Phil. Thanks for the memories.

Holy shit… Many thoughts will be had and shared, but one thing I find very telling/surprising is that we got lengthy statements from everyone EXCEPT Sarah Bond.

Recorded a video discussing the closure of Bluepoint Games. It’ll go up tomorrow at noon! YouTube.com/@TheComfySpotVids

This list should also include: - 2021: Housemarque (new game soon) These are Sony's studio investments since the pandemic, when everyone big was buying. The most recent studio they acquired before Covid was Insomniac in 2019, probably their most successful studio purchase ever

Recent Sony game studio acquisitions - 2021: Nixxes - 2021: Firesprite (layoffs in 2024) - 2021: Bluepoint (closed in 2026) - 2022: Valkyrie Entertainment - 2022: Haven Studios - 2022: Bungie (layoffs in 2024; new game soon) - 2022: Neon Koi (closed in 2024) - 2023: Firewalk (closed in 2024)

If you acquire a company and mismanage them to the point there are mass layoffs or a closure, I firmly believe there should be strict penalties and fines. This is specifically about PlayStation, but it goes for every industry. Why is this allowed?!

Sony and PlayStation closing down Bluepoint Games is fucking bullshit. Full stop. How the hell do you fuck up this badly?

Toying around with thumbnail ideas for a new series I’m planning to start on the channel next week. I have one that I’m comfortable with and another that I’m trying to improve 🤔 We’ll see which one I end up going with.

Being sick on my day off from work isn’t how I planned to spend the end of this three-day weekend, but here we are 🙃

I’m quite a ways into God of War: Sons of Sparta, and this boss fight was the toughest one yet. It took me about 5-7 tries before I finally got it, and boy was the victory satisfying 🙌🏽 #PS5 #PS5Share

I’m a few hours into God of War: Sons of Sparta, and I’m having fun! It’s not a revolutionary Metroidvania, but the gameplay is a good time, and the low stakes story is a nice change of pace for the series. In a world of big budget first-party games from Sony, this is nice! #PS5

Reposting for the evening crowd! Here are my highlights from yesterday’s State of Play!

Kena: Scars of Kosmora, God of War: Sons of Sparta, and so much more made Sony’s first State of Play for 2026 a great show! Let's go over my highlights! Watch: youtu.be/JPTdHmUYGVk?... #PlayStation #StateOfPlay

State of Play highlights recorded! It’ll be up tomorrow at noon!

I know what I’ll be playing later!

On one hand, holy shit a remake of the original God of War trilogy is pretty hype! On the other hand, do we really NEED a remake of the entire trilogy? I haven't played any of them in a while, but I'm positive they hold up from a gameplay perspective, and GOW 3 definitely holds up visually.
