One Island per system.

I think people underestimate the number of Switch owners that are actually parents who bought into the system because it allows them to play games again. I’m in that situation myself, and while I have all other platforms at home, I’d say 90% of my gaming time is done on the Switch. I’d still be playing game if relying…

I bought more games (way more games) for my Nintendo Switch over the last year than for all my other systems (XB1, PS4, PC) combined. In fact, some games I bought I already had on another platform, but because of the Switch’s portability, I can actually play them everywhere. And my main game time being in the train…

At some point you have to stop blaming developers for giving their audience what they want, and start blaming the audience for wanting it.

Maybe he stole tons of game cards for PSN, XBL, Nintendo eShop, Steam and the likes.... without knowing they’re worth nothing if unactivated....

There’s probably a collector’s or deluxe edition or two in there. ;)

Well, I’m pretty sure Gamestop will report the value of stolen used games (if there are any in the lot, as I’m sure there are) as the price they’re selling it at, not the price they actually paid for them. Remember folks, in today’s world, value is not defined by the actually cost of acquisition, but by how much…

I remember someone once saying something in a funny thread about describing a whole series in a single sentence or something... And about DBZ, someone said: “People arguing & fighting over power levels for half an hour”.

The problem is that for a lot of people, having the “best” gear, even if they can’t benefit from it, is the most important thing ever.

It’s nice to see that the pro consumer identity they have built for themselves looks to continue into the next gen.

I had a Nomad back in the days. It was cool AF, but the thing just ate batteries like there was no tomorrow. I mean, when you actually have to start thinking about a dedicated budget for batteries, I think it’s a sign that things aren’t quite right....

I definitely can appreciate the innovative touches that are made, generally from a hardware standapoint. Thing is, my feeling is that aside from some experiments done with some indie games (some of them being absolute gems IMO), most of what we see on offer, from a gameplay standpoint, is derivative and a variant on…

Nice discussion, BTW. (just wanted to say this).

What I meant was that the gameplay portion in games hasn’t been much more different across the last generations of consoles. Not that all games are the same thing.

Well, with recent generations of games mostly being the same thing over and over again, only in prettier coatings, at least since the PS3 era, I find this trend of using the same logo visuals relatively fitting.

Interesting. I have an old GPD XD (not the plus version) which only runs Android 4.4.... so not everything is running on this thing. I think the Steam streaming app require Android 5.0 at least. Does Moonlight work on Android 4.4 devices??? Just curious, as I might try this is it works...

Hum... I bought a GPD Win in 2017, witch allowed me to play my Steam, Humble and GOG Libraries on the go, on a DS-like clamshell design. It was about the price of a Nintendo Switch. And while it didn’t play the most recent games, it was enough to have me replay the Mass Effect trilogy, Borderlands, Burnout Paradise,…

I agree 8K for VR would probably be nice, as even current headsets like the Quest and Rift S still feel like looking at a 720p screen from mere inches (I know, I have one). And video for VR needs a lot more pixels as the video data cover a lot more than what’s in your field of view. This is probably the only place…

Quite frankly, I’d love having a 144hz monitor (a friend of mine bought one some time ago and it’s so smooth it’s unreal). But anything above that I don’t think I’d see a difference. I mean, I can see the jump from 60 to 120/144, but from there to 240?

While I can definitely tell a difference, I understand your point completely. The same thing happens in almost any field, actually. Like, there’s always something that is technically “better”, but it comes a point where this doesn’t really matter anymore for most. Don’t get me wrong, some people CAN spot a difference,…
