Gamers sure love defending price hikes and anti-consumer changes. It's so bizarre, no other medium is like this. Anyway, Nintendo Switch 2 can get in the bin 🗑
He's right. The Switch 2 is the most boring looking console Nintendo have ever revealed imo, and this is before the obnoxious nickel and diming. All it's done has shown me the value in a Steamdeck, and I actively WANTED them to sell me on a Switch 2.
@Juanalf Unfortunately, Xbox was too busy having the worst console reveal of all time. So Sony managed to sneak it under the radar. PS Plus was also considered really good at the end of the PS3
I'm not paying £400 for a system that has specs comparable to the 2013 released PS4. Or at most the PS4 pro.
This is before even factoring in the overpriced games, the switch online sub and the full price for the proper ""pro"" controller. Some of these comments read like Nintendo shareholders wrote them.
Mario Kart looks great, and Donkey Kong. But other than that it was a boring showcase with an annoying amount of rereleased games. PC seems like the go-to for the future
At work this weekend but will probably continue playing SMTV when I get time. I'm considering lowering the difficulty because It's quite a grindy combat-heavy game so far. I'm also eyeing up Yu-Gi-Oh! in the PSN sale, because I'm a sucker for shiny cards with cool monsters.
I just got back from Japan and there are posters and billboards for it everywhere. Video game sections in general were smaller than I thought, anime and One Piece figures seem to dominate, but any gaming section had a dragon quest promotion
Owlcat games have been a bit garbage with their console ports for a while. Hoping they finally make the effort with this one because the game looks really cool.
Just started this today after a couple of weeks in Japan ending with Tokyo Tower. Was quite surprised to see Tokyo Tower at the very start of the game. Looking forward to playing more, I'm enjoying the increased freedom so far compared to Persona 5.
@RiotShieldsHurt they actually dabbled with this during the PSP/PS3. The PSP had some streaming functionality with PS3. If I remember correctly it had very limited compatability, but it was there.
Soul Sacrifice Delta would thrive these days I reckon. Especially after the success of Monster Hunter World and Elden Ring/Dark Souls. It was dismissed as a clone but it had a lot of cool stuff going for it.
I'm finally playing Final Fantasy XV on PS5. It's an incredibly flawed game with a million issues yet there's something about it that I find really endearing. The combat is messy but quite fun when you get into the rhythm, and I just enjoy riding around on my Chocobo listening to old FF tunes with the lads, taking pics and fishing. I can see why it's a divisive game but I'm looking forward to playing more. Still looks fantastic for a game from 2015, too.
Happy about the friend activity update. I got my PS5 earlier this year and was surprised to see this type of thing missing. I always enjoyed seeing what my friends were playing and "liking" their platinums on PS4.
@Enuo Harry Potter is one of the most beloved and fleshed-out fictional worlds ever created. Seems unfair to dismiss that because the snitch is a bit convenient.
The PS3/360 really got screwed on Potter games, seriously lazy cash-grabs, although the OoTP castle was cool.
My picks are Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban for PS2. The lego games were great too. Also, I do have to give a shout out to Chamber of Secrets on GBC which was miles better than it had any right to be.

Re: Nintendo Is Losing Its Identity, Says Ex-PlayStation Boss
@Ooccoo_Jr that's literally what he's saying though. He's saying Nintendo were more exciting when they weren't just doing what Sony and MS did

Re: Microsoft's Age of Empires 2 PS5 Port Confirmed for 6th May
So only the "premium edition" of the "definitive edition" is actually "definitive"?

Re: PS Plus Price Increases Confirmed for 15 Countries by Sony
Paying for online multiplayer should never have become standard. Possibly the worst thing Microsoft introduced to the industry

Re: Nintendo Is Raising the Price of Games with Switch 2
I'm not paying £75 for any game. And no, I don't care about how much more expensive games used to be in the 80's or whatever.

I was excited until I saw it was multiplayer focused. Now I don't really care.

Re: The Game Awards Confirms DLC, Remasters Can Win Game of the Year Days Prior to Nominations Reveal
Too many awesome games this year to give it to (what i'm assuming is) Elden Ring DLC. Elden Ring has had it's time.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 546
I'm finally playing Final Fantasy XV on PS5. It's an incredibly flawed game with a million issues yet there's something about it that I find really endearing. The combat is messy but quite fun when you get into the rhythm, and I just enjoy riding around on my Chocobo listening to old FF tunes with the lads, taking pics and fishing. I can see why it's a divisive game but I'm looking forward to playing more. Still looks fantastic for a game from 2015, too.
