I’m sorry but literally no. There are exactly 3 Dark Souls games, the first came out 14 years ago. Demon’s Souls, Bloodborne, Elden Ring, and maybe Sekiro can be considered Soulslike, but your comment reeks of naivety.

They’re all individually some of the most mechanically unique games, with a ton of variety between each other. It’s not even remotely the same as a FIFA, Madden, or Call or Duty level of cut / paste.

OMG same, yes!

This comes from review guides, so yeah, they are literally sent by the company with a set of talking points and things to mention.

I was working in the industry at the time and people absolutely talked about the implications of microtransactions and how it would result in more expensive games and being nickel and dimed.

Like, I distinctly remember conversations with actual human beings from exactly the horse armor DLC and maybe we didn’t think it was going to result in, say the online shooter battle pass formula exactly, but we without ambiguity understood that meaningful in game items, and things like levels / experience would be monetized.

The biggest shocks to me were how patches would be used to reduce the game testing cycles, enabling companies to print incomplete or broken versions of games, requiring day one patches.

It’s a disgusting practice now, and it was then too.

I agree, but I think all intellectual property laws should be repealed. I came to the conclusion that patent, copyright, and trademark are all varying levels of bad years ago and I think it clearly holds the human race and human progress back by limiting creative iteration.

Nintendo doesn’t have a legal right to go after NES clones in the States because the patent on the NES expired and anyone is legally allowed to make perfect duplicates of NES hardware.

The only legal ground Nintendo has is software copyright for games they published and / or licensed ( probably just published )

It is planned obsolescence

I’m upset that they’ve made this decision to be honest. It means the physical release is incomplete and this is bad for have preservation, so I have the opposite feelings.

There is essentially no way to enforce, or even monitor this, like it’s fundamentally impossible without controlling everything from stl creation, to weapon construction.

Sega / Atlus indicated they would not do a full retail release of the game and extra content, breaking with decades long tradition.

Ha ha ha…no

These are both amazing games that were originally Wii releases. This is wonderful news.

Half Life Alyx is far more recent

It doesn’t have an actual cartridge slot, so it’s not strictly superior

It wasn’t even that long ago. I bought tons of discrete parts from RadioShack like, even up to 8 or 9 years ago. They had these drawers full of things, pots, LEDs, ICs, sensors, motors, dials.

I bought some games for it, but never the console

I feel the exact same way. I know a lot of people who have been, and I never did. I guess I assumed it would be around until I finally went.

I was wrong.

Won’t buy it if it requires PSN account

Literally putting another expiration date on digital content

I watched the trailer last year even

Halo Wars made a dent. It had marketing.

Try Torment: Tides of Numenara. It’s a hidden gem no one talks about.

I remember the Third Party EULA only.

It was changed. It had a EULA, but that didn’t include the requirement for a PSN account

Even worse! You can’t even have a PSN account everywhere you can have a Steam account with this game

That isn’t how anything works. This is like those people on Facebook posting their voodoo chainmail posts about their comments and profiles. You don’t own your comments to transfer a license in the first place.

I wish the sequel was anything at all like the original though, it’s low key bland and not fun

I’ve seen them set up in servers a RAID 1 booting ESXi

Series X refresh isn’t a rumor, and it doesn’t have a disk drive. Microsoft also laid off their physical media dept entirely.

It’s really easy to do, I died constantly at the beginning

I loved White Knight Chronicles and miss it constantly. The charm of the game was with the online though, and you’re missing like 2/3 of the appeal.

I’ll never forgive them buying Rocket League and cutting Linux support. It used to have a native Linux version.

I just need to know which titles have it so I don’t buy those games. It requires an always online connection and that’s a major dealbreaker for me.

I honestly really want Fallout 3 on Nintendo Switch.
