As an aside. I fucking hate smart TV shit. We were gifted a like Samsung 80 inch 4K tv and I was so excited to get that as a gift. I’d never had a tv bigger than 35. But all the smart shit makes it such a miserable experience.
I’ve also decided I hate HDR. Who made the decision that the TV has its own HDR settings, the console has HDR settings, and then individual games have settings as well. I have no clue if my shit is looking the way it’s supposed to. I recently got a PS portal and on god everything looks better on it than the TV, I think because it’s preconfigured.
I miss just plugging in the game and it looking fine.
Honestly most multi platform games I look at end up massively cheaper on sale on PlayStation than Steam. They have big(many games) weekly sales and even bigger “event” sales. Like your 60/30 example isn’t Sonys doing that’s the publisher. But the same thing happens the other way some games stay high priced way longer than you’d expect on Steam.
Frankly Steam quit being the biggest discounts and such years ago just riding on the coattails of their reputation on how great their big sales used to be.
Just want to say fuck yeah for saying this. Fuck steam/gabe. They may have been at the forefront of popularizing Pc gaming but they also were and are actively influential in the worst parts of the hobby. Gabe made billions off teaching children to gamble and loot boxes. Gabe made billions ensuring people are ok not owning their games.
It’s crap that steam has a positive reputation at all.
It’s a bummer. Eve is special but CCP hasn’t seem intent on running a healthy game in over 10 years at least. I’m not sure if it was PA or their choice to launch a Vr game I always wanted to try that. And I do think they should pursue the mixed game approach. Playing Dust back in the day with friends and piloting a destroyer to do orbital bombardments was something special.
I digress I hope Eve and CCP are ok in the long run.
There are some great games idk what you’re talking about.
1 and 2 aren’t personally a problem for me I prefer the rubber gasket to the cloth on my meta headset but if you run hot I could see that being a problem.
3 though, I’ve been really enjoying the newish Alien Game, walkabout mini golf (of course), the resident evils… I mean yeah the library is limited but in no way are the “good” games sucking. The ones I just listed ruled.
If I ever upgrade my ancient PC I’m really looking forward to using this headset on PC.
Lots of stuff to bitch about with GW but prices aren’t one of them. Exhibit A is the article you’re responding to, they are responsible with their profits and put them where they should. Exhibit B is they could minimize costs and outsource the entire plastic operation but they still make all models in England. Exhibit C is paying for Art is always morally the correct thing to do, even when mass produced. Finally Exhibit D, fuck GW for promoting incredibly short lifecycles for their games and pushing an almost weekly FOMO event on products that leads a lot more to these profits than just model sales.
I mean we will never know but 5billion is a lot no one else is going to throw this much to VR. Gaben will buy another Yacht before valve spends this much. Apple will never care about gaming. Microsoft and google both develop as though they can’t focus on any project.
Sony has a nice headset, but it’s more of a whatever than a serious evolution of the industry.
Itch.io hosts some amazing game jams, and maybe we will see Godot and Unreal take up some slack but not five billion dollars worth.
I wouldn’t say that no. But they are being used to whip people up into a fury effectively with out sharing all the facts. That’s why the video is ridiculously biased. Because if you came at it from a balanced perspective most people aren’t irrational. Nintendos actions while shit, all largely make sense.
It’s funny how when using any form of business sense your first paragraph completely explains a good reason for your second paragraph. Like you typed that all out not realizing you’re literally writing the good reason for an eight hour old game being re-released as an enhanced edition is that there is a new market segment for it, and they haven’t captured the full existing market.
Like don’t get me wrong I’m not buying the botw dlc, I’ve owned Botw since launch in Wii U and don’t have the dlc. I’m not some sort of Nintendo fan boy, but I’m also not an idiot who is raging at Nintendo for being ran like a business. Either this gamble will work (more than likely it will) or it won’t and they will find a new buisness plan. Like this is borderline common sense especially because it’s going to sell.
Anti Nintendo fan boys are experiencing major brain rot.
So hot take here, while the side quest activities are filler the lore they add is great. There are some very touching moments at the end of side quest chains. Especially Torgals chain. Made the side quests worth it in my mind.
I also ended up getting the dlc for the game which I seldom ever do I just enjoyed it so much and wanted more. While the rpg elements are light. I really enjoyed rocking the different powers in combat and felt very flexible on my builds.
It took me so many attempts to get into BotW. It’s so big and scattered and just never hooked me. When it finally did I was happy I had to play very purposely I had 5 goals and just beelined each one. Get the master sword, kill the 5 bosses. Done. I didn’t do any side quests and I’ve never gone back to it. I had 95 hours in TotK in like a month which is crazy for me. Game is amazing and I did a lot more in it. I think combat is about the same. I do think TotK may be more complicated but you can simply not engage with the features you don’t want to.
I will say though TotK hits better after BotW
