It’s not just silently installed by Steam, or something, they have to explicitly confirm they accept it? I don’t play this game, I am curious if players are unaware or actively stupid.

What sort of discount on retail did you get?

We are having a pretty good time in the comments. Maybe you could go hang out with the other people who like dull games instead of being upset here.

I didn’t play it. I like the memes tho.

Isn’t that more of a leveling RPG? If I got progressively stronger in BotW instead of just picking up slightly larger weapons I might like it more.

Another problem are that there are like, what, 7 kinds of enemies? Every encampment a small flock of keese, some bokoblins, some lizalfos, a moblin or two. Every situation I just use the same swords and arrows. Surely Skyrim has more varied enemies? If Nintendo are trying to make an expansive game they should put content in it.

Even the soundtrack is not up to par. It’s just a dull game.

Genuinely considering it! If it had some dumb detachable controllers I’d have one already.

Yeah, they do seem to like it. It’s nice to chill but definitely not anywhere near the best Zelda like some people rate it. IDGI.

Yes, BotW. Extremely dull. I want my hookshot back. It would be nice to have larger, more challenging dungeons with unique bosses instead of solving a few puzzles and then beating the shit out of roughly the exact same ghost. Most the quests are “get me 10 items” fetch quests. How much wood did I collect to build that town? That’s not fun. Majority of the content is wandering through scenery with nothing in it, or climbing for several minutes at a time.

I love the Switch form factor, specifically the detachable controllers. I thought it was idiotic when I first saw the commercials but I love it. I don’t care about AAA graphics on a portable, it is a little baby screen anyway. Cel shading, let’s go, IDGAF.

Unfortunately they are making shitty Zeldas now so I’ll probably not buy this one. If someone makes decent Linux hardware with detachable controllers I’d consider that.

Seriously. I paid for the computer, it should not be constantly begging and nagging to subscribe to my own hardware. Sympathies to people unable to get out, but I was done a long time ago.

I think it’s still cheaper if they’re at retail prices. I’m sure Apple has a way to sell the exact same thing as a medical device instead and they’re tens of thousands for each.

Oh but that requires money and effort, and creates a fair exchange for the purchaser, no can do. Hardware companies are more focused on how to force people to subscribe to their own devices.

Oh yeah, sorry, didn’t mean to rag on people that have to work with it. I think we’re all frustrated that it’s still so pervasive even though it gets worse every year.

$84! Has the price gone up recently? LOL

Ubuntu is good for if you want Snap packages forced on you. It is a shame, Ubuntu was my first distro, but I don’t think I would ever use it again.

I understand how it is possible for an OS to interrupt one’s use of one’s own computer to beg for money or to install spyware. I don’t understand how such an OS would still have users.

Breath of the Wild removed pretty much everything that made the series great. It leaves behind a meh game with some of the lore Nintendo knows will sell units.

And that was 100% of the changes that were expected, not sure what this article is going on about.

They’re salivating at the idea of making you pay a subscription for this.

Same. Was planning to buy one and luckily I did not. When Facebook bought the company I lost all interest.

Does this make it possible to use the headset without ever having a Meta account? That’s the only way I’d be willing to interact with a Quest device.

Paywall at the end is some sociopathic behavior previously unknown to me. I have to respect the ingenuity of that, even though it is despicable.

The whole thing is a scam. Their entire business model is dependent on receiving early access games so hype will drive some ad revenue. How many early access games will they get if they give bad reviews?

To stop this, gamers would basically have to union up and full boycott any developer who did not give early access to their union’s reviewers. I don’t see that happening any time soon.

I was joking around but I just read that is literally true, what the hell?

Maybe they’ll sell a microtransaction that allows people to start over.

They already use commercial copyright text. The courts need to figure out if they think it is fair use or not. If it is, their copyright notice is useless. If it isn’t, their copyright notice is redundant.

Our anti-competitive practitioners are buying judges as well as new laws.
