I’ve found the prices for F2P games to be generally insane. I know they must do some kind of studies to arrive on this price point being the most profitable, but it still seems to throw reason out the window. This makes it so that on the rare occasion when I wouldn’t mind spending money on a good F2P game the rewards…

I’m an INT/FJ (I alternate on the third letter). I have to purposely avoid MMOs and mobile games. I’ve come to dread their time investment to enjoyment ratio after a handful of experiences (the main offender being Star Trek Online). Perhaps I’m fortunate that I haven’t played a good MMO.

Perhaps as more game sales become digital we will get direct order for consoles. I just hope subscription models don’t take over.

I always found that odd too, because normal bluray players can play dvds and cds.

I’ve actually tried to google why you can’t reserve a console and I haven’t found an answer. Does anyone know why they don’t want our money?

I wish Sony did this on Playstation but let you use the game disks (it would really help incentivise their disk drive PS5). Maybe it has something to do with licenses, or maybe it is just so they can sell old games piecemeal via downloads or subscription.

Mine was easily the Xbox 360 (also the only Xbox I have experience with). The 360's constantly lit up the red ring of death like it was Christmas at Target. I went through 3 of them despite playing them less than half as much as my Nintendo and Sony consoles.

I’m inferring that they got less freedom with the plot from Nintendo since it ties so directly into a single Zelda game (and one that’s getting a follow up) instead of nebulously being about all Zelda games like the previous Hyrule Warriors.

And all the games will be Free to Play, filled to the brim with microtransactions and season passes, and you can only play via streaming!

The last game I cared about that had this much of a rocky development cycle was the Thief remake.   :(

I had to watch it a second time and focus on details because the first time I thought it was stop motion with effects added in post.

I’d love it if I could retroactively see my PS4 game playtimes.

We can hope that one day they will be desperate or uninterested enough to sell their IPs, but it probably won’t happen since they can just rely on their money from gambling/pachinko.

And no one was surprised.  

The fact that she also has a dart gun seems very appropriate.

I wish Smash would use rollback netcode (at least as an option), but even that wouldn’t fix the bizarre matchmaking choices.

The intentional slower frame rate is interesting. If a game was designed that way from the ground up they could probably put the saved rendering resources into other visual effects.

Looking at them now I got Syndicate mixed up with Unity, which is the more buggy one and surprisingly compatible.

I remember Syndicate being really buggy.  That could be why.

That guy looks like Sauron’s cousin who got into discount elemental magic.
