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

It sucks because it’s cute. I like piranha plants in general. Honestly though I don’t expect more from Hori. When I saw it was there’s and not Nintendo propers I was instantly hesitant. I just wanted a cute webcam for my work office.

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.

Yeah. It’s definitely a net good to introduce children to gambling to fund your mega yacht hobby.

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.

To correct you, he has many mega yachts.

I quit long before that. I don’t even remember what my last straw was. I still follow the news occasionally and now that it’s free to play I log in like once a year just to look.

Wow I’m not familiar with them at all. Where can I go to read some not fluff pieces on them?

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.

What a terrible headline. That’s what happened but the way it’s written is so unclear.

Yeah I picked one up the first time they were on sale about a year ago. Absolutely love it. Realized my Pc is no where near vr ready ended up buying a quest just to have more Vr. I wasn’t expecting the quality to be so different. The VR2 headset is truly amazing.

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.

Oh I agree. I’m just bitching that it was all done secretly.

The fact that it’s secret implies to me the community won’t be happy. Idk.

Yeah he could have reached out to the community to find someone to run it who would act ethically.

I read a post that the new Donkey Kong was made by the same team that did Odyssey I hope that is true.

Yeah and uh Balatro, and Slay the Spire.

Don’t act like it only had dumb shit on it. It’s by design like everything Apple does for a wide audience. I only have it because of family for fitness but everyone in my household has found something fun for them on arcade.

They already have a gaming subscription service. It’s actually pretty good as far as quality of titles on it.

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.

It is like risk but cooler! And honestly you don’t need a 2k point meta army to start with. For the price of two or three $60 video games (guess I have to preface that now) you can have enough models for you and a friend to have an absolute blast.

Seriously dumb move. I wonder how long before it returns to F2P or they lose the license and it’s delisted.

Honestly they should have never been yearly releases. Of course everyone is burnt out on them, and nothing innovate has happened in the rally codemaster games in years. I’m sad this is happening but it’s definitely mismanagement.

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 know people don’t like Zuck and meta in general. But flooding VR with money was a good thing for the medium. Lots of small teams and independents who otherwise couldn’t have developed for VR got to.

Don’t feel bad for liking things. Your post kinda bums me out. Don’t let all this negative hype impact what will make you happy. If you can afford it. Do it. If you can’t then yeah don’t, but we as people are allowed to enjoy things.

Now that was funny. I don’t know why this absolutely had me laughing pretty much from the moral compass line on. I don’t get all the hype for silk song I haven’t tried hollow knight but the way it was glossed over was funny and I haven’t seen anyone else bring that up.

Yeah, thank you for your comment. I don’t know if I expressed myself the clearest when I type things that I struggle with getting what I mean into words sometimes.

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.

Don’t forget Vita. Thing was king of being opened up in my opinion.

First gen’s are hard to find cheap due to how easily exploited they are.

Loud person who makes their entire personality disliking Nintendo tells you not to buy Nintendo without highlighting any good reasons, just focusing on easy to hate on reasons.

When someone is backed into a corner like you are they normally have to start explaining what they explicitly stated isn’t what they explicitly meant and I find that funny.

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.

I’d recommend the dlc. It’s fun to see the characters again. I got lucky and on my first time through the game the second dlc released so I was able to play them both kinda in my run.

Kind of. It shows he is a liar. Maybe that wakes someone up. News showing that political leaders and figureheads lie about even the mundane is good reporting, even if the topic is dumb.

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.

Cant. Wait.

Actually from the prices I’ve seen online they are about 5 /10 dollars more than digital versions.

Oh how is that I really wanted to buy it and never got around io the title.
