I agree, but being that you can buy a 256gb SSD from Walmart for $17.99, I’d like to see a new complete game purchase at $67.99 that you just plug the SSD into the top of the console and press a button to turn it on. SSD loads and has the entire contents of a completed game without need for internet access. If it doesn’t work, they didn’t ship a complete game and should be liable for refunding/replacing the product you bought from them.
Sure they are sata drives, but you really shouldn’t need something faster to play a game, as everything can go to the consoles RAM/GPU’s memory and then store back to the drives, meaning they could cut internal storage if needed as well. Stick the drives in cases, put on your games rack. Id like it. Maybe I’m not the main demographic though.
No longer play a game, sell it… Or format the drive and recycle it for another use.
Copyparty has been great for me for the less than a week or so I’ve used it. I copied a 44.8gb virtual machine there to get it to another machine earlier tonight just because I wanted to test a larger file. Came down on the other machine and worked fine. (Clearly this would have been easier to do by just making one folder shared on the receiving device or using a flash drive, but I was curious.
There was an old HP touchsmart that my partner had laying around. It’s terrible. Pentium Processor, standard HDD, with no dedicated graphics so running much of anything on it is out. No wireless AC, so it has to be a 2.4ghz network, and I don’t have a hardwire in the bedroom. So I just threw Mint on it installed RustDesk because I didn’t have a wireless mouse and keyboard or anywhere to put them if I had them. About a week into realizing it had some troubles playing larger movies (even mp4s from the machine no matter the player) I moved to 720. I couldn’t tell the difference between 720p and 1080p from across the room on a 22" screen anyways. Now all the streams work fine. Starting to realize the last time I bought a monitor was 2009. Anyways, 4K on my TV in the living looks great, but it really isn’t needed for standard enjoyment. Especially if I’m only half ass paying attention.
Released for $4.60. below average game cost they said. This makes me wonder… What do games cost on release most places?
I seem to remember $40 PS2/Dreamcast era $50 PS3/360 era, $60 PS4/5/Xbox S/S era. And now people are saying $80 for next gen. Sorry I know I dropped a lot of consoles, but was that pretty standard everywhere?
I seem to remember liking Resistance: Fall of Man, but it isn’t something you’ll play over and over. But the couch co-op story mode was fun to play with my partner back in 2007 or so.
A Way Out was fun recently for couch co-op story as well, but I’m not sure if that is the type of shooter you are looking for. I had never played a game like it before, was pretty cool.
So are you going to make a bad faith argument that Microsoft, Google, Apple, Sony, Nintendo, Steam or who is a good company to buy platforms or games from? Note, most games brought to Linux happen because much of it was funded from sales off those platforms as well. So in todays world if you want Linux games, you have to hope people keep buying them on those major platforms.
Or are you just going to take the low road of describing yourself as better than everyone else because you only play niche unprofitable games that most people will never hear of and therefor most of society who doesnt have large amounts of time to invest in games likely won’t ever see.
I’ve punched multiple people, but I know I punched people before I ever had a game console or computer.
