People who refer to "Alex Kidd" as "Alex The Kid" should be put into a rocket and fired at the sun.

To be slightly more accurate

Sony:
PlayStation
PSOne
PlayStation 2
PlayStation 2 slim
PlayStation 3
PlayStation 3 slim
PlayStation 3 super slim
PlayStation 4
PlayStation 4 slim
PlayStation 4 pro
PlayStation 5
PlayStation 5 digital edition


But I get you...

Yeah, but if you asked someone on the street the difference between a PlayStation 3, slim and super slim, they're going to take a punt that it's the consular girth.

Ask them the difference between a One an S and an X, they say numbers and letters.

Side note: I just made up the excellent phrase "consular girth" and I intend to use it again.

Any game that needs a shoulder trigger plus additional button to do something = too complicated control system.

Any game that needs a tutorial to play; I have literally switched games off and never returned to them once a tutorial kicked in.

Hahahahahahah!!!!
I plays DCS. My aircraft of choice has over 100 controls, doing anything requires you to learn tons of procedures amd I regularly refer to a 400+ page manual. Quit your whining

j/k
I totally get where you’re coming from re: regular games.

"Heard about the new Xbox?"
"I want one!"
"You want a One, not a new one?"
"I want an Xbox"
"Xbox One?"
"Not the Xbox 1, an Xbox One!"
"You want an Xbox One?"
"No not the old One, the new one"
"So an X?"
"No, not a One X an X one!"
"So an Xbox Series X?"
"I'm not sure"

I'd heard so many people say this over the years that I wondered if it was a regional difference.

Makes a change from a man’s front as he walks away from something, usually something on fire. I think that was last gen though.

There are some really uninspiring covers out there. 'Man holding gun to the sky' yawnfests.
As good as bloodborne is, that's a bad cover too, just the back of someone holding some weapons.

I suspect it was Attack on Titan that scored us a decade of that.
