I was watching the nextlander coverage and they were hoping for “burnout kart”

Sounds like there’s actually a free roam feature and an overworld in the new Mario kart game so this actually makes this conversation a possibility

I dunno why people are so downvote heavy in this comm…

Yeah I agree that Nintendo has seen the most success when they have a compelling gimmick; time will tell if the same gimmick with more power will do the trick. I doubt the mouse gimmick will be more than a novelty, but we’ll see what they show tomorrow.

Besides crushing emulators, how will Nintendo compete?

The same way they have been for a while, by making charming, accessible, and fun games. The average consumer doesn’t care about how litigious they are, unfortunately.

I am hyped

The verge has a paywall now? Lmao

It’s an overlay not too dissimilar to steam’s in game menu.

What makes it even more dumb is the guy they’re mad about existed in real life. Weird as fuck to care about something like that

I’d probably own one if it wasn’t zuccs

I’ll do that. You’re right in that it’s been years since I booted up the original. I want some death company gear too which I don’t think is in 2 at all.

I’ve been happy with my blood Angel jump pack marine, although the unlock treadmill was a bit slow for my liking

I thought you could do that with the PvP mode in SM2?

All good, it happens

It wasn’t on my radar, which is why I asked. I was clearly just uninformed

Ah ok, so it’s just my not paying attention to the space. Sounds like PoGo will just continue to be a whale wealth extractor then?

popular titles like “MONOPOLY GO!” and “Stumble Guys,”

Am I crazy or has nobody heard of these? Either way, this sale isn’t a bad thing. Niantic was not a good steward of the Pokemon IP

They put their games back on steam, that was nice

That’s a decent reason to play. So long as you know what data they’re sucking up and selling and are ok with it, more power to you. What’s crazy to me is I live pretty close to a couple of gyms and I constantly see people drive up and play from their cars. Now that I think completely defeats the purpose.

Been clean from this game for a few years now. It’s really not worth it; Niantic just uses it as a geospatial data harvesting tool rather than focusing on making an entertaining game, imo. There’s a reason all their other games have been failures, the Pokemon IP is the only thing keeping this game afloat.

Looking forward to this, especially since I have gamepass. Alcatraz here I come

Emulation isn’t inherently theft. Nintendo leverages emulation themselves.

Edit: Jesus your modlog is a shit show. Completely unsurprised you’re a corporate bootlicker.

I know I didn’t buy it; playing with my subscription. I wonder if MS keeps these titles at 70 to try to push people to subscribe to gamepass rather than choosing more competitive pricing

It’s fun. Has its clear limitations, so it’s not as broad as many rpgs, but what it does do, it pulls off well. The “gamers” being mad about the pronoun picker is the source of a lot of the derision as far as I can tell.

I had an extra voucher so I used it on violet. Near instant regret.

Yeah those games were unplayable trash imo

Following the release of Shadow of War, Monolith wasn’t interested in developing another Middle-Earth game and went on to develop a new IP codenamed Legacy. However, WB Games wasn’t and still isn’t interested in developing new IP and wants its studios to concentrate on making games around already established IP

Shocking.

It’s a fun game, I recommend

I enjoyed Legends Arceus despite its performance issues. Looks like they fleshed out a lot of what made Arceus fun so I’m optimistic. Also very interested to see what they do with the alt starter third evos. Loved Totodile back in Silver so I think I already know which one I’ll go with.

I’m cautiously optimistic for this one.

I have nothing to corroborate this other than my intuition, but I’d bet the outcry against Microsoft in the wake of them shuttering Tango will make them far more hesitant to do something similar in the future. They have done a lot of work to move away from the GFWL era and have clawed just a little bit of goodwill back which does a lot to sell games, and the Tango closure was clearly an own goal that really hurt their image.

Hadn’t heard of shutup10, I’ll be digging into this tonight

Same. Definitely had its limitations but it was decent fun. Figure if they can pull that off on a shoestring budget they can make a great fantasy rpg

Avowed is reviewing decently, at least. I trust Obsidian

This article does smell of console war nonsense.

Psychonauts 2, Forza Horizon 5, Pentiment, Grounded, and AOE 4 all reviewed well. Barring AOE 4 I played all of them and enjoyed them. None of them would qualify as blockbusters though, maybe Forza.

edit: if Bethsoft games count, then I loved Indiana Jones. First game I got every achievement for in a long time.

Looking forward to playing this

What a crazy self destruction they imposed on themselves. Shame for the honest workers over there

This article articulates what I’ve been feeling as a gamepass subscriber. I was able to get through the rough years without feeling cheated thanks to the three year conversion trick making Gamepass cheap as hell for that period. Nowadays I just look out for good deals for codes online to keep it under the retail subscription cost. If I play enough of these games in a timeframe my subscription feels like a good value. Thankfully there’s an abundance of games now. Really looking forward to Avowed

Because it’s a good game?

It’s like stalker and fallout had a British baby. I’m intrigued
