Did... did this “article” time travel from 2002?

I think this is going to be a crash an burn for most resellers. I def see a reason someone would want this but I cannot see a reason most couldn’t wait a bit for it to get restocked. 

Getting real sick and tired of seeing trailers for games that are still 6+ years out.

Do what Fallout 4 did: Say absolutely nothing, then tell me in June that it’s coming out in November.

Correct, the skus dont matter the number of production lines do. Now instead of having a digital production line and a disc line along with all the various part differences between the two instead all the parts are identical until packaging step so they can more easily shift volume of the different skus at the end…

10 bucks say this is their attempt at preventing 3rd party disc drives being made and sold.

Okay, now you’re making me want to go play Mega Man X. 

Even when a reddit community is fairly reasonable about discussions it still feels like they end up much more on the cynical/negative side of opinions, especially around the launch of a game.

I, for one, generally don’t prefer to get my recs from Gam3rG4t0r420 on GameFAQS or RedditUserSchlub.

scalpers don’t meet a need, they merely take advantage of a gap in the demand-inflated price and the MSRP

While TPC creating artificial scarcity certainly doesn’t help, scalpers/resellers are ruining everything, not just Pokemon. Before COVID I noticed it with my usual hobbies that have always had this issue, LEGO sets that just release and FOMO, import figures like Mafex, Figuarts, and Hot Toys, along with other…

It amuses me more than it probably should that Bullbusters is made by Nut.

Whenever an article critical of NFTs was posted back in the day people would come out of the woodwork defending how valuable and revolutionary they would be and how you just “didn’t get it”. Where are those people now?

Mine remains on my PokéWalker, which I don’t carry with me nearly as often as I used to.

50 bucks that in Japanese it was the Family Restroom.

That is once again a sign of good optimization. Gamers have completely conflated heavy loads with poor optimization and it makes them look incredibly fucking dense.

That’s not true? If the game is hitting 90% on all eight cores of a modern CPU that means it’s probably well optimized. It it’s hitting 90% on 1-2 cores then probably not optimized. Most games don’t hit that many cores so it makes sense to put this out there because many gamers don’t often bench their CPU in a way…

QA is a lot harder than you kids realize. 

“It is optimised, as long as you ignore all the people with high end rigs struggling to maintain a consistent framerate.”

Bethesda games development 101 - do half a job, the other half will be filled in by modders and denial

You have 4 year old hardware that are below the stated minimum specs (lower tier GPU at least as the 1660ti<1070ti), what do you expect? The fact it runs is a whole lot better than what most previous games would have run on 4 year old sub-specced systems.

I’m loving the game, but a “next gen” game where they’ve “pushed the technology” this very much isn’t. It’s missing lots of graphical features that are fairly standard with most next gen games now.
