“for all ages” and “for kids” are two different things. They don’t make kids games except for some of the yoshi platformers and even those are still playable

You’re overreacting to other people’s social media overreactions. I’m talking about the actual products they sell.

Everything I want was announced for “sometime in 2025”, not launch day. It looks good though.

Nintendo is basically like Apple at this point, the brand is enough to convince people to spend more than they would for the competition, regardless of quality.

People spend more on Apple/Nintendo because of quality. Windows is ten years gone to enshittification. The ps5/xbox have ads on their home screen and are one bad GTA away from a full industry crash

Am I the only one who doesn’t care about this? We’ll wait for the 33% nintendo sales and fill the rest of the year with 3rd party 80% sales like always

But $450 does feels like the upper limit cost of something you give a child, and if you’re charging me Real Console money for this then I kinda expect to be treated like an adult.

It is a Real Console. Today’s big showpiece was fucking Bloodborne 2 and some people still can’t get out of their bubble where they think it’s a children’s toy.

FFXIV, but this doesn’t mean much because it’s dependent on what genres you like.

Most historically significant? Ultima 4, Wizardry 1, Pool of Radiance, Mario 1, Metroid 1, FF4, Chrono Trigger, FF7, Mario 64, Zelda OoT, Counterstrike, Starcraft, Diablo 1, WoW, Cave Story, World of Goo, Minecraft, Skyrim, Dark Souls, Zelda BotW

It’s preserving history!

What a shitty title. Consoles will be happy to get this

Trog

Good AI art should be completely invisible, like when romcom movies with no visible CGI are actually changing the entire sky in certain scenes. People were able to spot the flaws here instantly.

Or if you’re a 1 man studio living in their parent’s basement, go nuts with it. This is a gigantic company that could afford to hire humans.

People don’t get bored of playing/watching the same sports their whole lives

I got that bundle at 92% off and it took me 2 years to finish. It was awesome

I love SR 3 and 4. But with SR2022 costing twice as much as FF16 it makes sense why it had to be this way

I’ve heard of some edge cases where Wine is now a better option than native windows for really weirdly built 2000s era games. But overall most won’t run better since they have to use a compatibility layer. The point is they do run and my computer isn’t just for gaming. Windows has gone deep into enshittification for ten years now, and it’s worth trading some FPS to Wine to not have to live with that.

Also this only matters for new games. If you’re a HoMM3 addict or only care about emulators there’s no downside.

It’s the opposite tbh. If you want to play emulators or old (as in 2015) PC games via Wine/VM, mac has you covered. It’s newer games that are tougher because 80% of them don’t get ports and Wine/VM will have to turn down the graphics to run well.

Even so, I can still run most modern games at medium settings with a low-tier, 2 generations old mac. Small price to pay for avoiding windows’ godawful UX, ads, tracking, ai spam, onedrive spam, monthly subscription for solitaire, etc.

They make a good ergo keyboard (this is the only nice thing I can think of)

Same here, have never owned a graphics card in my life. When I occasionally do want a modern game it doesn’t need to be 200FPS RTX.

With recent big game releases, it’s become obvious that a game is either a resounding success, or complete shit. There doesn’t seem to be any middle ground.

You’re saying this from a player opinion perspective which is accurate, but it’s also interesting that companies act the same way. If a big game doesn’t make 10 zillion dollars now there’s a good chance the entire company gets shut down.

rip discord. Shareholders cause enshittification
