There was a Japanese game that used 3D and 3D perspective (using the camera) so it looked pretty amazing together but I can’t remember the name of it now.

You will be comforted to know that piracy is not just stealing. It’s more about consumer rights. Some people use piracy to steal but some people use cars to rob banks.

Did they though? I don’t see it affecting them besides anecdotes. Like from me and my friends who are actually explicitly ignoring the PS5 because of the lack of BC to entice us and the fact that so many games end up on PC (or Xbox) now anyway.

It is licensing but Nintendo determines that licensing. They could easily have forward compatibility a part of that licensing. There is nothing stopping them besides actual software compatibility but say if a game is ported they could allow a license transfer to that port or they could just add a compatibility layer…

Sure but the switch is another, much more complicated, story. People cry about piracy but piracy is such a tiny drop in the bucket. Preservation and consumer rights far outpace whatever little loss revenue happens from the people who likely can’t afford to purchase much in the first place or wouldn’t anyway.

People are surprisingly defensive about this terrible series. Star Wars also killed one of its more (potentially) interesting characters too soon. I guess all that’s left are Masochists.

They also did wiffle ball toss and a few other things.

I think you can’t. There are too few episodes involved in each series so having one get co-opted for 1/4 of it, is a bigger deal. Especially when they were entirely pointless and one was borderline stupid. The first one should have been a Mando premiere and the second shouldn’t have existed.

They are comparing tracks to dated and lesser versions. If there was a detailed track that is getting less detail in the DLC THEN they may have something to whine about.

I don’t understand this mentality since you’re forgoing new content and experiences just so you can save $60, at most, to replay the same old stuff?

For the people that care it’s less about getting the game and more about being “right” and “justified”. They also may not appreciate that translating legit bit titles is a lot different than say a PC title that doesn’t have limitations in memory, fonts and therefore sentence structure and grammar.

The fact that Steam has any DRM is bad enough. We don’t need worse and DRM doesn’t address this issue whatsoever. This is poor netcoding. Not a DRM problem.

This is pyramid and money laundering scheme. That’s it. Great for washing money. Horrible for everything else. Unless you’re already on top exploiting the simpletons and desperate.

The DS captured a significant “casual” audience as well and before the Wii.

Games were once shipped complete and done. You weren’t going to patch it because you couldn’t. PC games were slightly sloppier but mostly patches would be legitimate unforeseen events. Not a ship it and fix it later approach.

It’s about a game as a whole. They go low rent on the worlds, narrative, mechanics, basically everything to compensate for their character load.

I think 16 bit should be skipped and go straight to 32 bit sprites. We never had a proper era of it, just a few teases here and there. Most of these “8 bit” games would never run on the real hardware, anyway, graphically. So should just skip 16 and go straight to fluid 32.

You should get 1-2 months warning when something is leaving. Not two weeks. This is video gaming, not watching a movie.

Maybe because being politely outraged didn’t fucking do anything and the world is being literally ruined for every creature but, possibly, ourselves? We’re going to literally drown millions, if not billions of people or at least their former habitats, because we were politely objecting to bad policies in the 20th…

The way suits think is will the outrage supersede the profit potential. If that answer is yes then they’ll ask themselves will they still make money off the scheme, regardless. For themselves first, then the company.
