This drama doesn’t deserve to be the top post here. Let those morons have their miserable lives while the rest of the world enjoys a fun video game

best game in the series imo

Maybe you should have watched the reveal video then

my steam download speed is so dead right now. rip their servers

Well yeah used games are always cheaper. These were $60 $50 new

When games were expecting to be rentals, the first few levels would be front loaded with the best that the game had to offer, and then later levels would be more phoned in

Still happens today. First impressions matter, budgets are finite, and sometimes reviewers only play the first few parts.

Terra Battle 1, created by the OG final fantasy devs. Best Uematsu soundtrack of that decade and one of the best mobile gachas ever. RIP

Another one?

Makes sense, but if it’s only $10 it should just be free. $10 isn’t worth the bad PR and they should want this tour thing in as many hands as possible.

It’s not even out yet and they redesigned the entire stick. Can we stop whining about every little detail here, we’ll find out how they perform in 2 months

“for all ages” and “for kids” are two different things. They don’t make kids games except for some of the yoshi platformers and even those are still playable

You’re overreacting to other people’s social media overreactions. I’m talking about the actual products they sell.

Everything I want was announced for “sometime in 2025”, not launch day. It looks good though.

Nintendo is basically like Apple at this point, the brand is enough to convince people to spend more than they would for the competition, regardless of quality.

People spend more on Apple/Nintendo because of quality. Windows is ten years gone to enshittification. The ps5/xbox have ads on their home screen and are one bad GTA away from a full industry crash

Am I the only one who doesn’t care about this? We’ll wait for the 33% nintendo sales and fill the rest of the year with 3rd party 80% sales like always

But $450 does feels like the upper limit cost of something you give a child, and if you’re charging me Real Console money for this then I kinda expect to be treated like an adult.

It is a Real Console. Today’s big showpiece was fucking Bloodborne 2 and some people still can’t get out of their bubble where they think it’s a children’s toy.

FFXIV, but this doesn’t mean much because it’s dependent on what genres you like.

Most historically significant? Ultima 4, Wizardry 1, Pool of Radiance, Mario 1, Metroid 1, FF4, Chrono Trigger, FF7, Mario 64, Zelda OoT, Counterstrike, Starcraft, Diablo 1, WoW, Cave Story, World of Goo, Minecraft, Skyrim, Dark Souls, Zelda BotW

It’s preserving history!

What a shitty title. Consoles will be happy to get this

Trog

Good AI art should be completely invisible, like when romcom movies with no visible CGI are actually changing the entire sky in certain scenes. People were able to spot the flaws here instantly.

Or if you’re a 1 man studio living in their parent’s basement, go nuts with it. This is a gigantic company that could afford to hire humans.

People don’t get bored of playing/watching the same sports their whole lives

I got that bundle at 92% off and it took me 2 years to finish. It was awesome

I love SR 3 and 4. But with SR2022 costing twice as much as FF16 it makes sense why it had to be this way

I’ve heard of some edge cases where Wine is now a better option than native windows for really weirdly built 2000s era games. But overall most won’t run better since they have to use a compatibility layer. The point is they do run and my computer isn’t just for gaming. Windows has gone deep into enshittification for ten years now, and it’s worth trading some FPS to Wine to not have to live with that.

Also this only matters for new games. If you’re a HoMM3 addict or only care about emulators there’s no downside.

It’s the opposite tbh. If you want to play emulators or old (as in 2015) PC games via Wine/VM, mac has you covered. It’s newer games that are tougher because 80% of them don’t get ports and Wine/VM will have to turn down the graphics to run well.

Even so, I can still run most modern games at medium settings with a low-tier, 2 generations old mac. Small price to pay for avoiding windows’ godawful UX, ads, tracking, ai spam, onedrive spam, monthly subscription for solitaire, etc.

They make a good ergo keyboard (this is the only nice thing I can think of)

Same here, have never owned a graphics card in my life. When I occasionally do want a modern game it doesn’t need to be 200FPS RTX.

With recent big game releases, it’s become obvious that a game is either a resounding success, or complete shit. There doesn’t seem to be any middle ground.

You’re saying this from a player opinion perspective which is accurate, but it’s also interesting that companies act the same way. If a big game doesn’t make 10 zillion dollars now there’s a good chance the entire company gets shut down.

rip discord. Shareholders cause enshittification

Try new genres, you’ll get bored of gaming if you stick to GTA adjacent things for your whole life.

Great, but why this game in particular? It was never one of the top sonics

13-3 and 14 1.0 are complete trash imo. And some of that era leaked into 15, sending it into development hell. But aside from that, no. They’re held to a higher standard so a FF that’s only a B+ is seen as a complete failure and the internet spends a decade hateposting about it.

Audio companies sell headsets with mics too

Never buy “gaming” audio gear. Audio is the same no matter what you use it for. Buy something in the $100 price range marketed for audio production. The design will be plain and solid black, but you’ll get at least 50% more value for your money. Sennheiser is usually good.

iirc sega recently decided that persona and yakuza have to release one game every year. They just hide it well since lots of them are remakes or optional sidegames

If you ever get into a EMMI QTE you’ve done something wrong. The QTE is a glorified game over screen, the 1% chance of escaping is only there to make it scarier with false hope

Going to use this thread to recommend AM2R which is so high quality Nintendo could have made it themselves. It also has a great Prime-style OST in a 2d game which none of the other games have done

(fuck nazis, but) bro you are 10000% too deep into this. It’s just an operating system. You might as well boycott paper because they use a lot of that in the white house too

I’ve never heard of SE being known for bad code except for when they first started doing pc ports. 13-1 and 13-2 were bad but they figured it out by 13-3.
