That’s just how bad Nintendo is at porting their own games! There’s constant FPS dips, and the input lag is so bad that you can literally see the delay without needing any equipment to measure it. It’s so bad in Mario 64 that it renders the game unplayable, leaving you with two games can actually be played (but just barely so. They still have input lag, and it’s much more difficult to control the water gun in Sunshine since the Switch doesn’t have analog triggers).

I much rather play these games in an emulator. At least they’ll run properly.

Low key kinda glad they made it a FOMO game cause the game fucking sucks, so when I sell it for hundreds of dollars in a couple of years I won’t feel bad about it at all.

I forgot what we were talking about. Does it matter?

Bruh. What’s got you triggered so hard?

Do you need a hug?

They don’t mean you. They mean the people in the Nintendo communities who downvote and mod even the slightest criticism of their precious company.

Downdetector was bought out by Ookla? When?

Metal Gear Solid: Delta: Snake Eater (PC)

Never played an MGS game before (other than Portable Ops on the PSP), so I thought I’d install it tonight and give it a shot. There’s no Denuvo BTW.

Okay but is the game fun yet? I hate all the procedurally generated bullshit. If you’ve seen one planet in this game, you’ve seen them all. NMS is somehow even more boring than Starfield. At least that game gives you something to do. A boring story is better than no story.

I prefer YouTube ReVanced. It does a lot more than just block ads.

Start watching YouTube in Firefox, I guess. I can’t deal with ads and I’m not paying one of the richest companies in the world an ever increasing monthly fee for the rest of my life.

Fixed my comment

“Going to be”? I feel like this generation already failed at the starting line. I can’t name a single PS5 game I’d want to play that doesn’t already look and run better on my PC. The Switch 2 is running on several generations-old hardware so it’s already a non-starter. And Microsoft screwed up their naming convention so badly that I don’t even know what the latest Xbox is called.

Hell, this console generation is somehow already five years old, and I still don’t know anyone who actually owns one of these systems. Everyone I know is still using their PS4s, XBones, Switches, and gaming laptops with 10, 20, and 30 series Nvidia GPUs. Hell, I haven’t seen any hype for modern console gaming since the XBOX 360/PS3 era. No one cares about owning the latest and greatest gaming system anymore. Everyone’s happy with what they have.

I agree, and that’s why we mute voice chat.

I do remember that but then for some reason Valve didn’t make the AI as smart in Half-Life 2 as the first game. If you fought one combine soldier, you fought them all.

I will always prefer multiplayer games for the simple reason that single-player AI is stupid and predictable. Why does every enemy behave like every single other enemy in literally every game? Is it really that much more difficult to program enemies to behave in various, unpredictable ways? Until that day comes, I will always prefer my enemies to be human.

I’m confused. I thought the last mainline BF title was Battlefield 4? (And then after that came BF1, and then that failure BF2042.)

Did they skip a number, or was Battlefield 5 just so fucking bad that I blanked it from my memory? I honestly can’t tell. I haven’t enjoyed a Battlefield game since Bad Company 2.

Yeah I don’t get it either.

When 3D games first came out, I stopped playing 2D games altogether. Needless to say, I don’t miss the blockiness of PS1 games.

I’m an absolute graphics slut but IDGAF. I love modern tech like path tracing so much that I saved up and bought a 4090 at launch. No regrets.

Oh I thought it was a live USB kind of a thing. Like just boot your custom OS off a flash drive and all your settings are already there.

Shit like this is why I should read the article first before commenting (TBF, most people don’t).

Dude it’s less than a minute. My Ryzen 7000 machine with a 7300MB/s sequential read speed takes longer than that to boot.

Its*. This word is an exception to the rule of using an apostrophe to indicate possession. It’s is always a contraction for “it is”.

Joke’s on them; I already upgraded to Windows 11. I was among the first. It’s actually a solid OS once you disable all the ads and telemetry with O&O Shut Up 10.

Same. Keeps things simple with Linux, and Windows doesn’t even complain about it being disabled, so long as it’s present. I’ll never understand why it’s even required if you don’t even have to enable it.

The answer is always Chrono Trigger.

30 years later, and still nothing has topped it. No game even comes close.

There was that one sitcom that did an episode entirely in The Sims… Does that count?

They don’t need to start a payment processing company. All they gotta do is start accepting crypto again.

I mean come on, the solution is so obvious. This is what cryptocurency was designed for. But Lemmy refuses to see it. You’ll just downvote me and call it a scam like you always do.

You fucking know why.

“rOaRs”

Give me a fucking break.

Shit like this is why people need to knock it off with the “iT’s A sCaM” bullshit and embrace crypto. This is the exact kind of issue that using cryptocurrency prevents.

We need to federate money and put it back in the hands of the people. You would think that Lemmy would be into that idea, but instead y’all act like crypto killed your dog and fucked your wife. I don’t get it.

(And before you use the waste of electricity argument, remember that proof of stake is a thing.)

Edit: Well this went exactly how I expected. Just nothing but ignorant downvotes. Not even a single attempt at a decent counter-argument. You people and your hive mentality suck.

That said, shoutout to you, Danny. You get it.

“Cookers”?

There’s a PC port of RDR? Since when? I’ve been emulating the 360 version the whole time!

That’s fine; I lost interest in the series after Underground. NFS was ruined for me anyway when I learned what Rubberband AI was. (Which was also around the same time I started driving real cars, and thus began realizing just how terrible the physics are in all but the most hardcore sim racers.)

Can’t agree with this. I got dozens of hours out of Portal 2, simply from replaying it so many times (which is an amazing feat in of itself because I never finish games).

Meanwhile I was bored of Stardew Valley after two hours of wandering around and not being able to find anything to do. From what I’ve gathered, the game expects you to figure out how play it on your own. I’m in my late 30s and I have bills to pay. I don’t have the time nor the patience for a game like that anymore.

Edit: Point I forgot to make is that I feel like for a game to be considered the highest rated among them all, it should have universal appeal. But that’s just my 2¢.

Okay lol maybe I want them for other games too.

Six face buttons, two joysticks, a D-Pad, a touchpad, four triggers (two being analog with a click at the end of the range), four paddles (like the Steam controller), HD rumble. That’s what I want in a controller. Nothing less. Such a controller does not seem to exist.

But I don’t want a fight stick. I want a single controller that can do it all.

Not quite what I’m looking for (but thanks). I should probably mention that I also need dual joysticks, quad triggers, quad paddles, a touchpad, and a D-Pad. Basically everything you can get on both a Steam controller and an XBOX controller, except with two extra face buttons.

I also want six face buttons for fighting games. Somebody, please release a controller like this already. I haven’t seen one since the Sega Saturn.

Took long enough. People are so god damn stubborn.

Windows 11 is an annoying experience out of the box, yes; like Linux, you have to do some tweaking to get it functioning the way you like it (start with installing StartAllBack to fix the Start Menu + taskbar issues, and O&O Shut Up 10 to stop the ads and telemetey) but if you’re big into HDR like me then there is no OS better than Win11 for a quality HDR experience that just works.

But if you’re not into HDR, don’t play games with kernel-level anticheat, and don’t have expensive DJ equipment that is only compatible with Windows and MacOS, then there is no reason to continue using Windows. Linux is a much better option for you.

So basically they’re trying to do what Trip Hawkins did with the 3DO in 1993. In order for that to work, you’re going to have to convince people to pay PC hardware prices first. Two issues:

1. Third party manufacturers aren’t going to sell at a loss,

2. Sony will continue to sell their consoles at a loss, which means everyone will just buy their consoles instead.

Well too fucking bad, cause Halo is the only thing they’re good at. They should have sucked it up and kept iterating on Halo 3. That game was peak Xbox.
