James Bond would make a great CRPG but most people just want another shooter.

Im not much of a PC gamer. I never wrote that the issue is exclusive to independent or PC gaming. It’s an issue that happens often in pretty much every form of entertainment.

It wasn’t badly received. Sales numbers were not great. That’s the my point.

People always notice good games. Sometimes they just don’t have mass appeal or are marketed badly.

Okami, Beyond Good and Evil, Ico, Psychonauts, Gravity Rush, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Eternal Darkness, Vanquish, Titanfall, Rayman Origins, Alien Isolation, Jet Set Radio

There’s definitely a lot more but those are just some of my favorites.

This time.

Not always though. Many good to great games fall through the cracks and never make much money.

Customers should reward great developers like this.

Diablo with Destiny multiplayer 🤮

Giant advertisements within the game’s UI. It’s not F2P🤮

I was bored pretty quickly.

Lots of great options here already. I don’t see Larian’s Baldurs Gate 3 and Divinity Original Sin 2 here.

The screen gets a bit cramped in co-op but it’s perfectly playable and loads of fun playing these masterpiece RPGs on a couch with a significant other or a friend.

I wish I enjoyed Diablo 4 more so I could buy some DLC but it didn’t do it for me.

Decades of corporate consolidation only leads to higher consumer costs and record corporate profits.

Corporations should not be allowed to exist above a certain market cap. Break them up. Make them compete.

They will be useful for industry and business that uses software that won’t run on ARM systems. Just like there are places that use DOS to this day.

Does it matter much, x86/x64 is on its way out. Everyone has to jump on the ARM train or get left behind.

If you folks want to have a really hard time find a way to play the NES version of Mike Tyson’s Punch Out on original hardware with a CRT monitor and then play it on any emulator on a modern monitor. You will feel like you’ve aged 80 years.

I hope MS has the ability to release the console priced APU hardware to consumers in an unlocked system that allows consumers to install their own OS.

Every game is worth playing to see if its fun.

This one sucks and is the beginning of the FF7 cow being milked. It hasn’t gotten much better.

SH2 is good but is suffers greatly with performance and visuals because it uses UE5.

Living the dream of shameless profit.

Its Republicans. Don’t blame the religion. Republicans want fascism and they want to control everyone’s thoughts and behaviors because they’re wired to be subservient to authoritarians. They hate that so many of us have a mind of our own.

It only had a nice and responsive UI at the start of the generation. It was a slow, sloppy, ad-riddled mess at the end.

MS optimization = maximize revenue streams = more ads = more spyware

I don’t believe a thing MS says is ever meant to improve the customer experience.

Only on very specific tasks. The 4090 and 5090 are great but they are expensive, huge, loud, use a lot of power and release a lot of heat. They are great for gaming and many other tasks.

The top end Apple M chips are expensive but are very cool, quiet and come in relatively tiny computers. They’re not really for gaming but are adequate. They’re built for prosumers.
