I’m not at all a fan of Kaceytron, half the time she’s streaming herself being driven around or doing dishes (seriously), but THIS I can get behind. Be proud, ladies. Be proud. 

I imagine the target demo is the 12-year old sitting in the car or living room WITH the old people watching/listening to old people media. Guess who has the cash?

Plenty of third party options exist for a d-pad, including an entire replacement left joy-con (I think PowerA makes it) and the option to re-shell with a d-pad. There’s no reason whatsoever to feel like you can’t have one.

That’s another well known issue. Not high profile enough for them to fix free probably, but you can order replacement latches on Amazon for like $10. I think they’re made of metal too. Not for everyone, but it’s an option. 

Well that was rude. 

It wasn’t a business strategy, so you haven’t heard it. I’m a consumer justifying why I would pay more for a base game. 

It’s been pretty well demonstrated that those solutions you offer fix a wide swath of the issues (but not all of them), and even then the solution is temporary. Conversely, were you having to fix your Gamecube controllers two years after it released? How bout those Wii remotes? Nope, those things are immortal. Maybe…

I like how you build your defense mechanisms into your comments because you already know what a garbage take you came up with. 

No that’s what YOU do. 9 times out 10 I’m good with just the base game. And when I do want to play the DLC it’s a phenomenal game that I’m happy to pay more to get additional experiences for. Just because they sell it doesn’t mean you have to buy it, guy. 

Fuck the stupid cat. That worthless beast eats and sleeps better than 30% of the world, I guarantee it. It can take a lickin’ once in a while as payment due.

TLDR but I didn’t mean to suggest all games would raise their base price, just the standard AAA $60 games. 

Yeah, there’s numerous examples that are fully worth the extra money. The game that breaks the $60 barrier will just need to have people sold on that ahead of time. The Witcher 4 could charge $150 and I’d still buy 8 copies. 

Agreed, but that’s not really an area that I can contribute. I’m just being honest here, I’m not going to stop buying games because I don’t like the executives’ salary structure, and 90% of the people that say they will won’t either. It’s the same story with Epic Store exclusives. People bitch, then buy. 

Yeah I think that would need to be part of the deal for the foreseeable future. Sizable expansions can be extra but no micros and no little chickenshit horse armor deals.

I’m not too interested in the whole unionization thing, let Schreier and the employees work all that out (which I support). The part that fascinates me is the $59.99 barrier. At some point a single-player game with some serious clout is going to have to step up and break it with an $80 base price (or something). For…

Good god, man. Run, don’t walk, to that upgrade. 

Dino Crisis and Nemesis do not hold up today, if only because of the lousy tank controls. 

I feel like RE8 will be more of the RE7 vibe. Which is cool with me if they get the story right. 

Capcom needs to make this remake happen. Finish up Nemesis and then take a break to let the tech evolve enough to make RE4 remake-able without us all dying of cynical laughter. And no we can’t forget Code Veronica, but AFTER Dino Crisis Remake and before Dino Crisis 2 Remake. Probably can skip Dino Crisis 3 Remake…

We need a gaming Geneva Convention in which it is established that if an Easter egg hasn’t been worked out in 5 years, developers need to start dropping breadcrumbs. I hate to think no one will ever figure this Futurama thing out. The devs may not even remember at this point.
