Stop trying to make fetch quests happen, they’re NOT going to HAPPEN!!

>I’d never buy a used console

Well, no, it’s not an impossibility. It would just be more expensive than usual. But they effectively have infinite money to throw around in order to make this game go right, and they’re kind of obligated to do so given it’s by FAR their biggest cash cow. The main difference currently is that they usually plan server…

To be fair, I’ve been wishing they would implement this for years now. The current situation is highly unusual, but it’s also not at all unusual to see servers at max capacity during any big content drop - and it’s especially annoying when you KNOW a lot of those people are probably just idling. It seems like this is…

Well, between a game that has long load times and a game that you literally cannot play at all, I think the choice is clear. Strive is already infinitely superior to nearly every other major game in the genre right now, and it would still be even if it were literally falling apart at the seams, because AT LEAST YOU…

I don’t know about new PS4s, but used PS4s are extremely easy to find. Hell, you can get them on Amazon. You can probably also easily find one at any pawn shop.

To be fair, this isn’t even necessarily FOMO. People often just want the big new fancy thing, regardless of how much they’re gonna use it. (Yes, this is a huge problem that stems from capitalist consumerism, but that’s not the point.) I for one would LOVE to replace my launch PS4 with a PS5 that can run PS4 games in…

Ironically, it’s not a problem in Japan, because the time is due to the fact that the authentication servers are only in Japan, and the network check involves pinging a Japanese server 127 times. Yes, it’s fabulous that they added rollback, but then they have this spectacular jank. The FGC just can’t catch a fucking…

Can’t help but feel this is a reference to this infamous Vinny bit:

This will only keep happening until systems like gacha are completely and thoroughly outlawed. It’s predatory and should not be allowed industry-wide, not to mention the obvious environmental impact of these types of farming operations which the very nature of these mechanics encourage.

I mean, not really. It’s a high-end professional streaming device for professional streamers. Their target audience already exists and is constantly growing. They don’t actually need any visibility at all - the extra boost will just result in more sales than they expected.

Counter-argument: they picked an EXCELLENT day to release this, as they will likely get a significant boost in hits from people typoing Steam as Stream, which would never have happened otherwise.

Look, I’m not going to argue that Joy-Con drift isn’t an issue (or even a big issue, I’ve had it happen in one of my 4 controllers), but at least the Joy-Cons are infinitely easier to repair/replace the joystick module in than the PS or Xbox controllers, which are both soldered onto the motherboard, whereas the…

Painful... Suuuure. They could GIVE this thing away and it would still be a drop in the ocean of their overall profits.

Well, this is a huge shocker. I guess Harmony Gold finally fucking died? God, if only we could be so lucky.

Man, this game was kind of disappointing to me. It’s very well-made (it’s by the same team that did Theatrhythm), but ultimately what it adds to the series is extremely trivial, and the song selection is... questionable. It’s like 90% overworld and regular battle themes, and there are very few boss battles…

Bravo.

I have never gotten motion sickness from a video game before. Just WATCHING this makes me nauseous.

Ugh, same. The fact that you’ve already bought the game shouldn’t exclude people from playing it. Their business model continues to be baffling beyond logic. At least WoW has some way of letting people play sort-of for free. Hell, I would probably renew my sub more often if I actually had the option to play some of…

Unfortunately the way society and the economy is structured encourages alienation from each other outside of extremely limited spaces. If you aren’t already part of such a space, it can be extremely difficult to find a sense of community and camaraderie with others and to build a support system. That’s why it’s…
