They’re $110 in canada? That’s insanely overpriced? How much more is that compared to regular AAA games? I could understand people justifying the price in the uk, mario kart world costs £67 digitally (including tax) which is CHEAPER than call of duty and “only” £7 more than a regular AAA game and the new donkey kong is cheaper than AAA games digitally (but only £59 vs £60). I think the games are overpriced in the uk, since they will never go on sale, but $110 is ridiculous.
I recently switched from windows (with a debloat scrpit ran on it) to linux mint and I was shocked at how much faster it booted. When I turn my pc on I usually get up and do something else for a bit (not because windows is THAT slow but because I could spend the minute it takes to turn on to make lunch or something) and linux booted before I was out of my chair.
People are buying it because they love Nintendo games like you said. It’s also because most people don’t know enough to emulate/are scared off by anti piracy laws.
Another reason is that people are impatient, if the price dropped I would be tempted to buy one, especially if they also announce a new 3d mario (odyssey is one of my favourite games of all time). I’d want to play it now and not wait for the switch 2 to be hacked.
A lot of people who know how to emulate also would rather buy original hardware because playing on it is just better (I’m the same, if the joycons didn’t drift, I probably wouldn’t emulate my switch 1 games on my deck)
I think the reason the connectors are magnetic is because it is something nintendo’s designers always wanted to do. So once their engineers figured out how to do it (after the launch of the original switch) they designed the switch 2 around the magnetic connectors. I think it’s incredibly stupid when one of the most important things to do for a sequel to the switch is fixing the drift but it’s a reason at least I guess?
Here’s the video I watched about it: https://youtu.be/JDhj8s-i–s
Not the most searchable since it’s main use is through it’s api (I use it through retrodeck/ES-DE which is for ROM libraries) but screenscraper.fr contains scans of boxart, title art, videos from the games, manuals that used to come with physical copies and a lot more.
If you want retro ROMs, I can’t help you since I don’t know if I can link to those types of sites but ask on [email protected] and check their wiki linked at the top of the community.
The festival song or cascade theme, both from mario odyssey.
I also really like celeste’s soundtrack
antireal.info <-- artist’s tumblr
Where are they getting the numbers from? I’m not doubting the article but protondb only reports that only 3225 games are rated verified and playable.
All storage dies eventually. Flash memory (which is solid state) slowly has its data decay when it is not powered.
That’s fair. Although Laith said that Paradox is letting him say whatever he wants, if I got invited to help announce the sequel to one of my favourite games I would be a bit biased. With every video I watched I audibly said wow at least once. I did not expect that many features and depth from a paradox game at release! Makes me wonder what they have left out to sell in DLC. Also makes me worry about how much time developing those features took away from bug fixing…
Was it Laith’s video? I just finished watching it and he said that it will be a great game if they fix all the bugs. Asking paradox to release a game that isn’t buggy is pretty scary. But it does look like an amazing game and not just a stripped down version of the game that came before it (like vic 2/3 and ck 2/3)
With their more recent games they have gotten less bad with their dlc, the base games seem a lot more feature rich (I could easily play stellaris, vic 3 and ck3 without feeling like I am missing parts of the game. With eu4, the dlc seem necessary). They will definitely release too much dlc, but it probably (hopefully) won’t be required like in eu4
Please don’t fuck it up Please don’t fuck it up Please don’t fuck it up Please don’t fuck it up Please don’t fuck it up Please don’t fuck it up ~they’re gonna fuck it up~
Although so far I haven’t heard many negative things, from journalists or youtubers. But I also didn’t hear many negative things about civ7 before launch…
Is there a way to puppet a discord account through revolt like there is on matrix? There are a lot of communities I am in that I need discord for.
It has bad reviews for the same reasons most games got bad reviews: expectations. It looks beautiful and it seemed they put a lot of work into the mechanics (although the age system is controversial) and on release both these things were true but there were major problems they hid in the pre launch promotion, the biggest one is the UI. Everyone who got early access to review/be sponsored (some months in advanced) told them to fix the UI to make the game perfect. But they did not, and it is still very flawed. If it had maybe a few more months in development it would be a great game.
Oh also Denuvo, pushing DLC despite the work needed on the base game and the high prices probably aren’t helping reviews.
It’s worth mentioning I haven’t played it yet (waiting for a sale), I am just repeating what friends/content creators who weren’t bribed by T2 have told me.
I’ve seen a lot of content creator groups become a lot more diverse since covid/among us. It’s great to see!
