As a designer, I can tell you no one in their right mind would pay attention to a detail like that unless it was vital to show that object is meant to be three dimensional. Why would anyone take the extra effort to make it look 3D when it’s explicitly not?

What’s the purpose of a remaster if you can already boot up your PC copy, replete with mods that fix performance issues? Why pay for something you already have?

I got Frostpunk, but even the most lax management-sims are daunting for me :(

I wonder how well Subsurface is doing on Switch, and if they’d put Quarantine on it too. Or if that could be a kind of guard that better indie games could have against getting lost on Steam - showing up on consoles, etc.

My apologies! That looked like a descending list of quality, (especially since you described why the other two were ‘good’ and just trailed off on Nintendo), but I was wrong to assume!

That Stefano fight suuuuuuuuuuuuuucks. Glad you made it through!

Apparently yes. Because what makes a game good is how it looks. Didn’t you know that?

and Nintendo being... well... Nintendo

Maybe their gripe is that player 2 is forced to use a character that’s only there for co-op?

good to know, thanks!

because on its own webpage it says this is a bundle designed for a household that already has a Switch. Which then, it makes sense - why pay extra for more stuff you might not need, because you already have the dock/charger/hdmi?

I don’t think this is meant for someone getting their first Switch though.

And it’s not like the dock is ‘just’ a hub in and of itself. I don’t remember the last time a USB hub could convert a video signal, charge, and tell a device it can overclock all at once...

Except this isn’t replacing the normal way to buy the console with everything. But hey, keep that cynicism churning.

I mean, you won’t know that the longer game will be your Iron Giant either, but I get your point. Having as many ways to assess a game ahead of buying it as possible will be useful for someone on a limited budget. I’d be more worried if this were the sole/major contributing dynamic than say, as a point along a strata…

then those are very quantifiable hours with ‘value’ ;P

I’ve watched The Iron Giant so many times there are no surprises left. I’ve drooled over its animation, studied its pacing, and long-since known every story beat and line of dialog.

This aggregate also assumes that hours of your life have no value. So spending 200+ on a $40 game is a ‘steal’ than say, having a fun time with a 2 hour $20 game and spending 198 hours on learning to cook, reading a book, going on a walk, calling your parents, meeting up with your friends...

Here’s the problem I have though.

I was a little worried at the start of the gameplay trailer. The driving and world made it look like a Mad Max mod.
