What the fuck does Europe have to do a console from a Japanese company that is made in China and US tariffs?

I already played the game, but the patient gamers are winning again.

I have the same trauma. It ran on German TV in the middle of the day decades ago. Never going to forget this.

Not interested in PvP, sadly this doens’t seem to be a Bloodborne 2.

I buy pretty much every console there is, but I’ll pass here. Maybe there will be a price-cut OLED model and a new “Best of Switch 2” Series of games with cut prices (like on GameCube or Wii). Also I want to wait and see if the Joy-Cons 2 get drifting issues.

The price isn’t ridiculous by any stretch

The thing for me is: The Switch is only a closed-down console. You can only buy games through the nintendo store. The Steam Deck is open. I can play my older games, even physical games via external optical drive, on my Steam Deck.

It’s $515 including tax in Germany. It’s too much for my taste.

2017 for $299 is equivalent to $389

Yes, but it doesn’t cost $389 but $450. For $389 I would’ve considered it, bot not $450. Also the bigger issue for me are the game and accessory prices.

I don’t think all games are like that, only some. Probably the ones that got larger file sizes. I hope they don’t cheap out and put smaller games also on licence-only cartridges.

Had a similar experience on PS3. Got online, set my status to friendly or what it’s called, and was killed constantly by vehicles. Stopped playing it then and there. I had hoped you could do co-op shenanigans and not get killed all the time.

Probably because of the woke mind virus!!111

I bought resident evil code in the box PC because it was cheaper that directly on steam.

It was just an example. If they only allow publishers to publish racing games from now on or whatever, you have a choice to run other software on your hardware. A console is locked down, it’s a brick if the manufacturer want it to be.

PC is not cheaper because there are no physical games, lol. How would less options and less competition lower prices? PC is cheaper because nobody has a monopoly on digital games so stores need to run sales to attract customers.

Exactly. That’s why I personally don’t mind buying digital games on PC, because the PC is an open platform. If Valve decides to drop the ball and sell every game for double the price or something, I can still get and copy games via other means on my Steam Deck. If Sony decides they double the price, you’re out of luck.

Once you take physical sales out of the equation digital prices will drop.

You don’t really believe that, do you? Why would a for-profit company would ever lower the prices if it wasn’t absolutely necessary?

for a little extra money

Won’t be “little” for long.

The best games that I don’t want to play again. It’s just too emotionally exhausting.

Path of Exile?

Anything that isn’t a instant success gets dropped by sony faster than a hot potato. See: PS Vita, PSVR2.

Also Peglin.

Had a tiny spot right besides the center on a PS3 Simpsons game disc. The PS3 wouldn’t even recognize the game.

I want to play this game, but i don’t have the tiiiiiime! Urgh :(

I would hate it after three days.

Do they need money to fill the wait time until GTA VI?

Indeed, the update is set for a November 4 release […].

I think it’s a really neat idea. Maybe I would post some screenshots too, if there would be a separate community.

Yeah, it’s great that today it’s all interchangeable. There’s just so many ways to play games and so many different setups. It was much more limited when computer hardware and tv setups where so different back in the day.

I play Xbox on my pc screen, works quite well.

I think the most common recommendation is to start with Yakuza 0.

When the technology gets there, this will be amazing. I’ll be able to sit down at the computer and say “make me a mystery detective RPG in the style of Sherlock Holmes but set on a cyberpunk styled city on a space station like the Citadel from Mass Effect” and I’ll get just that, generated exclusively for me with a brand new story that fits the themes I asked for.

And you’ll pay $200 for it.

Yeah, the first bit looks a bit off.

I hope the best for this game, the first one was quite fun.

That’s what I thought too. They test the waters for a much higher price point. I’m not buying it, if they price the PS6 above 500€ with a disc drive I say goodbye to console gaming.

And this without a disc drive. Unbelievable. It’s > $1000 (incl. tax) in Germany with a disc drive (If this is even compatible).

Huh, that sounds good. I’m curious how well it will run on the SteamDeck.

I remember IE6, it was great!

There’s also a port/rewrite of Re-Volt named RVGL, similar to openRCT.

The issues I have with these ports:

• They are harder to control if you don’t use a controller.
• Using a controller is cumbersome when you’re not at home
• I don’t know if I can play these ports in 10 years. With a console, I’m pretty sure my PS5 games will work in 10 years because the platform won’t change and the PC is at least an open platform, so there is a chance that older games will still be playable on newer systems. But on iPhone it’s not guaranteed.

Maybe? Witcher 3: Blood & Wine was similar.

I thought that too. But this is the end of the consoles life and devs now know every trick. Also the areas in the trailer are pretty limited, so it’s a bit less taxing than an open world game for example.
