I guess the kinda games they make cost a lot of money and don‘t have the mass appeal to rake huge RoI in, still wish clearly talented studios like these could do their thing in a smaller scope under publishers that don‘t calculate MS kinda RoIs instead of just being closed down.

Loved the original and honestly… with its 2D art style, it might be the superior way to play the game IMO

I was so hyped about 007 and then the previews came out: „It‘s about 30% or less Hitman and 70% Uncharted“

Well, not what I‘m looking for. Getting more Hitman is gonna be a long, long wait.

Competitive (e)sports are usually repetitive to a certain degree. I wouldn‘t call League very repetitive anyway. It’s mostly the same map, yes, but football and chess are also always on the same „map“. With 160+ champs and their interactions and the strategizing aspect of it, I never felt like a match was going like another.

The players are mostly insufferable (like in other competitive games) and League‘s too much of a timesink due to average game time.

I haven‘t tried 6, but I loved 4, it‘s my fav city builder ever (altho kinda easily exploited lol) and I liked 3, but I bounced off of 5 so hard that I never gave 6 a chance. I definitely recommend 4 though…

I don‘t think people who can‘t cough up 1000 bucks for a console will cough them up for a PC. They just don‘t have that kinda money to spend on videogames. It‘ll lead to people stickin with what they have and those who don‘t have anything (especially kids) will play games on their phones or doomscroll all day. So the whole next gen might be crossgen and/or even tank the industry in general. That‘s my prediction.

It makes me happy during a very rough time seeing you still going strong with this series, crazy consistency

Have they done something about the panel‘s pixel response times? I was hoping they‘d eventually apply a small overclock to at least get 60 fps smear-free.

PEAK is literally peak. Such a gem.

The term „AI art“ irks me, IMO it tries to legitimize the virtual theft that it’s based on by implying there‘s a creative, artistic process behind it. It‘s gotta be a lobbied term.

Next do 3 and a buncha Fire Emblem games and I might feel less buyers‘ remorse towards my Switch 2. I don‘t know why there isn‘t a buttload of Switch 2 upgrades, it‘s making money with patches.

Shit‘s been fucking expensive before this year and most triple-A stuff ran like doodoo anyway. Now prices are just even worse and somehow that‘ll make the suits care? At best we‘ll get the same level of bad.

MH Wilds has been out for a year and today‘s patch pushed it to the bottom range of acceptable.

Even if somehow more money was put into engineering now, the argument would still be weak, it‘s naive on its own merit at best.

I‘m pretty worried about my devices, ngl. I never really had a problem with PC components or consoles breaking, I‘m very careful with my stuff, but Murphy‘s law… Something will probably break just outta warranty and when a stick of ram gets me a car

You can go AAA for cheap no problem, people just need to not get FOMO‘d out of their minds and half-resist the compulsion to jump on the next shiny thing immediately.

The newest DOOM is around 27 Euros rn and not even a year old. Buy on release - or worse yet, pre-order - and you‘ll get the worst deal (financially as well as technically).

Game prices are fine for me because I literally just wait until they‘re at a point where I don‘t see them as a waste of money anymore. In the meantime, there‘s 203 untouched games in my Steam library that had reached that price at some point in the past already. Not even mentioning the hundreds of games I got for free between GOG, Prime, and Epic.

Probably not very nostalgia but I wish they‘d pick up where Legends left off, that game was incredible

It wasn‘t meant as a blanket solution for the internet in general, but as a possible solution for high risk environments like Roblox. What exactly qualifies as a high risk environment is up for debate then, but that Roblox would be one probably not.

I wish there was a system where parents get an app on which they have to approve friend requests for their children in these games and only people on their children‘s friendlist can read/hear them and be read/heard by them. And obviously only parents can send out requests. That way, parents could make sure only their kids‘ school friends can talk to them.

Obviously, they can‘t make new friends online then, but that‘s for when they‘re older…

Seems more reasonable and better to me than nothing. Or than scanning kids‘ faces.

Since they didn‘t mention anything (and I assume they would‘ve if there was a change worth mentioning) and they already have the remaster and as such no reason to put money into the chunky version, it doesn‘t seem to be anything that makes the game better. I wonder if there‘s some weird distribution/licensing thing going on and they legally have to rerelease lol

IIRC it had somewhere around 200ms input lag lol
