There’s a severe misconception that you have that any developer can do any other job at the studio and that’s not the case. Person/people who worked on this would be working on something else technical instead and not working on the story or gameplay.

It’s not a Switch 2 it’s a very standard mid-generation upgrade to a Nintendo portable like they always do. Most of the time the first gen almost seems like a mistake - GBA vs GBA SP or DS vs DS Lite and it’s the same sort of thing here. This is them seemingly doing it right this time. Obviously, some of that is from…

In theory some in-app purchases might become cheaper without Apple’s 30% cut, but whatever payment processor they’ll use will still take a cut so I don’t really see this devs/publishers dropping prices in reality. Maybe we’ll see a few examples here and there as a marketing tool. Apple takes 15% for small companies (I…

I think this will benefit some developers but you’re right that this won’t be a big game changer across the board. One example I can remember is Basecamp putting out an app with a $99 yearly fee and complaining about Apple taking 30%. Something like that isn’t going to have a large reach anyway. For things like HBO…

How are you people drawing these conclusions? 

It’s amazing the lengths people will go to find something to be upset about. The guy worked on the game. This is a game that relies on the concept of fast loading. I’m going to go ahead and trust their word that this game wouldn’t work on a HDD because we have an entire library of games that we’ve seen run on HDDs and…

That actually came out and was a real product and was released in a decent timeframe. It failed, but it did it on its own merits. 

ADWD was the second half of a feast of crows. ADWD has side by side stories for a good chunk of it before it moves past the same time period so I think you have that confused. There’s even a fan-made reading order for both: http://afeastwithdragons.com

It’s a bunch of white dudes and one white woman. Not diverse but let’s hope these are all people who reject the culture Ubisoft had at least.

Had to turn up the sound to even hear anything. Simply sounds like the fan going faster than normal? Why is this a problem? The fans were dynamic last gen, too.

Game Pass comes with games and that’s the huge difference for me. I’ve really enjoyed streaming and it’s nice to just launch into a solid library and not have to buy something for one exclusive platform. Nvidia also has a good example of this where it uses your Steam and Epic libraries but I haven’t tried it in a…

The last two souls-like I played were Sekiro and Nioh and I definitely would not compare them. The pacing, gameplay, weapons, everything is way different in Sekiro. Nioh is also not anything like Dynasty Warriors and I’m bewildered you’d even type that when Nioh isn’t a button masher with huge hordes of enemies.…

Found it, looks like those initial reports were wrong. Also looking at that same site they do have console and PC vs. remaster comparisons and it does look better. Improved faces. Improved textures. What you’d expect for a remaster. Looks like one of those cases where the remaster is basically what you remembered the…

It has ray tracing which is hard to show off in a trailer like this. I think because it wasn’t so popular they went for the “here’s an introduction for those that missed it” type trailer rather than focusing on differences between versions. It’ll be out in a month so we’ll see.

You think hipsters are listening to Creep or are even a thing that exist anymore? The term was rarely used right in the first place and quickly went from “that annoying elitist guy who tells everyone x popular thing sucks” to “people who wear flannel” and it’s never really meant anything due to that.

Not in the PNW scene that I’m familiar with (SF4/5, DBZ, MVC2, Tekken, etc.) and it wasn’t like that at EVO 2019 when I went. Smash I only know about secondhand, since they’re big enough where they usually have their own events, but the impression I get from other FGC people is that scene leans much younger. If you…

No one said it was only Nintendo, the guy mentioned the exact game you’re talking about, and only giving one example has never once proved another person wrong. I’m not sure if you have some weird fanboyism going on here but I’m sure many of us use both stores and can compare them. Nintendo’s store is much more closer…

They each put down $5000. Winner takes $10000. This is not remotely a new gambling concept.
