As annoying as these price hikes are, it’s important to note that games do go on sale post-launch, and outside of Nintendo first-party titles, also get permanent price reductions while bundling all DLC. Within a year or two you’re guaranteed to pay less while getting more content than Day 1 buyers. And if you go for a…

I suspect that less knowledgeable buyers (e.g. grandparents who know nothing about tech/games) see the word “game” in “Gamestop” and that’s enough for them to go in for Christmas shopping. To actual gamers, it’s painfully obvious that you can easily get the same things from Walmart and Best Buy, but other demographics…

Still, you can get brand new games/consoles/accessories from Best Buy and Walmart and Costco and other retailers - and if you keep an eye out for sales, you can actually get brand new games that undercut Gamestop’s used prices.

Your PC comparison isn’t fair because the fundamentals of how tracking and motion work have not changed between different generations of Oculus products.

It’s because PSVR1 used a fundamentally different tracking and control system that cannot translate to the PSVR2 setup.

I’m not even talking about 4k/60 though. I’m talking about struggling to hit a 30 fps limit despite resolution and details already taking a massive hit compared to other versions.

It probably won’t, just like many of the multiplatform AAA titles that get belated Switch ports. Expect to see 30 fps caps that frequently dip into the low 20s (or worse) during intense scenes.

Besides the Steam Deck, the G Cloud also competes with clip-on phone controller attachments, which retail for $100 or less - and often get attached to phones that vastly outperform the G Cloud in specs.

yep I mentioned that in the third paragraph. However that only benefits games where every microsecond of latency actually matters. If you’re already accustomed to playing wirelessly and don’t care about the latency advantage of a direct wired connection, then there’s no need to specially go out and buy a long USB…

You don’t need a super long cable if you want to charge continuously while playing.

Yep, I enjoy movies like Top Gun and Mission Impossible but that doesn’t make me a Scientologist.

Whether one agrees with Rowling or not (I certainly do not have any respect for her), the PS5 subreddit is for discussion of PS5 hardware and games. If anyone wants to debate transgender topics, there are other subreddits for that. It’s a completely reasonable move to ban all discussion of Rowling (whether positive or…

The regional pricing in South American countries is a LOT lower than in developed countries. For example if you pay in Brazilian reals or Argentine pesos it’s half the cost of the US price when converted to USD.

While I personally have no use for voice assistants, it would be a shame for them to die out because of one demographic they’ve greatly benefited - people with disabilities.

Freedom works both ways, bruh.

Well, you just have to remember that Musk is adamant about turning Twitter into a “free speech utopia”.

Pretty much what happened to one of Jeffrey Dahmer’s victims. Two well-meaning ladies saved him and called the cops, only for the cops to laugh it off as a “squabble between homosexuals” and literally hand the boy over to be killed. 

Not just mistakes - Karens go ballistic over issues that have literally nothing to do with the frontline employees who don’t set the policies or control what’s in inventory. They’ll use minimum wage workers as literal punching bags to voice their disagreements with mask requirements, for example.

It has some “value” as a relatively safe/convenient place to trade/sell old games and systems and buy used games/systems. Yeah the values are trash but there’s a little more peace of mind compared to a private transaction. That said, Best Buy and other retailers can easily eat Gamestop’s lunch here too.

It’s priced like a luxury vehicle and at that price point a lot of consumers are conditioned to believe that performance is “needed” even if they’re crawling in bumper-to-bumper traffic 99% of the time.
