Looks more like "68020 processor or better."

Yeah, that's Balan Wonderworld, directed by Yuji Naka of Sonic and Nights: Into Dreams fame. It was released a couple weeks ago to a resounding thud. The PS5 version has the highest MetaCritic score and it's just 51/100. The graphics and cartoony aesthetic was actually one of the high points.

i wonder why BW got such awful reception lately especially from one of the critics i like. did it really just boil down to playing like shit or was there more to it that i can't remember?

I've just bought an hdmi adapter and ressurected my ps2. I'm having so much joy. Maybe I'll revisit some ps3 games next.

I'm interested in getting an Xbox Series X soon and I was wondering, which has better value, Xbox Game Pass or Steam sales?

You can do the prepaid Live cards stacking trick with Gamepass and get 3 years worth for around 150 bucks (so around 4 quid a month).
Steam sales happen really frequently now but the price reductions aren't as good as they used to be and they usually don't make many mistakes updating the prices of stuff any more (that's where i saved a bunch on stuff in years past).

So we're having playstation 5 games wind up in top 5 most played and sold rankings for PSN. Since Ratchet and Clank released many regions have been getting bi-weekly restocks of PS5s and the game is now right behind COD, Fortnite, and Fifa. Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade also is up there.
But the 5 minute sellouts are still happening.

and pc has sales due to competing storefronts and bundles out the ass. you can even trade most keys, so you almost get all the perks of a secondary market combined with the convenience of digital (and I don't mean some shady russian steam gifts, splitting a bundle between mates is easy enough).
the question is "why", and I don't mean that in the MUH MUSTARD RACE sense (there are valid reasons to pick a console).
you have to ask yourself if you really need one. specific games? ms ports most of those these days. convenience? doubleclicking an installer isn't much different than putting in a disc, even less now that most games have to be installed anyway. couch gaming? most games offer controller support out of the box ported straight from the console version. form factor so the missus doesn't angry over a black cube in the living room (better hope you find a white xbox then)?
the dealbreaker for me is while gamepass (and other streaming services etc) have use for some people, I don't want to feel forced to play it NOW while the sub is still running and before the game/show/whatever is rotated out. by the time I want to get back to it and play a certain game it has dropped so much in price on pc the price has become moot, and that's before you even consider the high seas or timmy paying for your copy. helps that in my case I don't really give a crap about AAA anymore given the state of the industry (just look at this year's e3 to know what I mean), and the few times I do I can and sometimes want to wait.

No because the supply chain still has not been stabilized.
Take for example meat, we went through 3 bacon shortages throughout the last few years you probably didn't realize this and it wasn't widely reported because the market had a stockpile that took longer to deplete before any real effects of the shortage were felt.
Here we're still experiencing the shortage of everything from computer components to shipping crates to ship them in. and there wasn't enough to really go around since at the beginning of the Pandemic companies like Apple hoarded stuff. Now Apple never really felt the brunt of this shortage due to that and they've been able to meet their quotas for the most part. But other companies were not so fortunate. Microsoft's business model doesn't really rely on hardware all that much and the Xbox Series X isn't widely available still either. What's happening is that this is showing is that we're at the tail end of this shortage and most major markets will have enough supply in the near future.
So the 2022 shortage articles are a a bit overblown in the sense that while we will still have areas affected by the shortage, it's more than likely going to be remote places and not be as widespread.

Have you heard of Shrek SuperSlam? lt’s a surprisingly good Power Stone clone and it’s pretty cheap if you want an actual disc.

The D&D game that came out today is utterly fucking terrible.
It looks like shit despite being a "next gen" game.
The net code is terrible, most attempts to play with other people will result in some of the worst lag I've seen recently and that's if you don't just simply get dumped back to the title screen after connecting to someones session.
There are 4 playable characters and if you join a multiplayer session where someone else is playing the same character as you you get booted back to the title screen.
The enemy AI won't react if you sit outside of their aggro radius and use ranged attacks to kill them which means that the archer character is clearly the best one.
The animations look like something out of a PS2 shovelware game and your character glides over the terrain rather than walking.
Thank fuck for gamepass.

guess that explains it...

You must observe those graphics in motion.
If I remember correctly the old ones were shimmering, twisting and distorting all the time. Up to the point that sometimes it was hard to tell the distance to the object.
Meanwhile the new game looks like it will be crisp view with a long drawing distance. I think its comparable to the Stormworks. But I do wonder why they've picked this particular style, which relies on lower resources usage. If they did it to compensate for, for example, huge areas or huge dogfights or procedual world then it might actually be good.

Does there have to be another reason besides nostalgia-bait? It's the equivalent of a modern 2D game using pixels way larger than any device it will ever be played on will support.
The "lo-fi 3D" approach has been done quite a bit recently in new FPS games, like Ion Fury, which was built using the same engine as the original Duke Nukem 3D, and Dusk, which basically looks like a Quake total conversion. I personally really like the flat polygon aesthetic and I hope more new games get made in this style.
