Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Web Swings to PC in January 2025

@Shad361 The Wii U wasn't unsuccessful because it was a home console. It was unsuccessful because it was a console with a poor gimmick, terrible and confusing marketing, little third party support, rehased games from the Wii era, and after a point, not caring about the console.

Nintendo doesn't need a hybrid console to be successful. They need effective marketing, great experiences, gimmicks that are good, and good third party support. The Switch has all of that, and that's why it's successful.

The Switch probably would've still been successful if it was just a home console or a handheld, but Nintendo decided to make a hybrid in order to make development for games and software focused on one console instead of being split between handheld and home consoles. Nintendo is a very smart company when they're not blinded by previous successes, and while I do think the Switch was the best direction they could have gone, they would still have a presence in the market if they planned things out smartly with a separate handheld and/or a separate home console.


Wait, s--t, this is Push Square. Uh...cool, Spider-Man 2 for more audiences! Can't wait for the sexualized costume mods on PC!

ok i think i met my playstation quota for today.

Re: Boy! Sony and Amazon to Start from Scratch on God of War TV Show

Didn't expect my corny ass comment to get attention. 😵‍💫

@B_Lindz I honestly don't know that much about God of War, but yeah, the actual show will probably unfortunately not be as intelligent and heavily thought-provoking or other smart words as I was hoping for. But on the plus side, it'll be entertaining.

@NEStalgia Also yes, it is very much like burning ice.

@CVCubbington I am kinda annoying like that sometimes. Your comment was perfectly fine, I just felt like being corny.

Re: Report Brands Roblox 'X-Rated Paedophile Hellscape' for Children, with Inflated Player Numbers

As a semi-veteran Roblox user, yeah pretty much.

Please, parents, surveillance your kid's internet activity and who they interact with, especially on platforms like Roblox. I was lucky enough not to run into any predators on Roblox when I was young, but I know some people who have, and it's not pretty.

Roblox's moderation is terrible, especially for a billion dollar company that is primarily targeted towards children. And with them prioritizing user generated clothing, accessories, and of course, money through advertising and sponsorships over safety, that may not change anytime soon. Take note of that.
Roblox may be a game, but child safety isn't.

Re: Sony Boss Says 'PCs Are Difficult to Set Up', Firm Will Focus on PS5

@Mikey856 The amount of Steam Decks sold is actually pretty good when you consider the fact that it's only sold on the Steam store, it's reach is pretty limited, and that it's Valve and not a corporation trying to sell a load of consoles like the big three console manufacturers. Also, it's a portal to the Steam store itself.

That being said, I can imagine why you didn't like the handheld, and that's understandable. It's not really for me either, and it's not really as console-user friendly as some people make it out to be, at least when considering PC settings (I don't own a Steam Deck, so I could be wrong there).
I think that it's still a cool device, and I do think that it's a great product for many, but yeah, its reach is niche, and I'm not to interested in getting one, at least for now.
