Nintendo games might be very family friendly, but Nintendo as a company has a well-earned negative reputation in a lot of verticals including esports and community events.
The article doesn’t clarify where the threats were coming from, so it may be for different reasons. And obv it doesn’t justify harassing and threatening random employees though.
I could see them.partnering with phone manufacturers to have it pre-installed like they do with Facebook, TikTok, and all those other apps I have to delete every time I buy a new phone
Did they ever release the updated FSR patch they were aiming to release a while ago? I love content updates like this, but FSR is the main thing I’m hoping to see next.
Their next game, Chicory, is currently in my backlog and should probably get kicked up to the top.
Wandersong is $7 USD right now and it’s a real gem if you like more casual games. It’s a 2D adventure game where you interact with the world by singing. It’s cozy and heartwarming, and I’d recommend it to anybody who might be into that kind of experience.
Also Prey is the opposite of heartwarming but it’s one of my all time favorite games (easily top 5) and it’s somehow $3 right now.
Same goes for the whole Dishonored series.
FWIW I can’t speak to the pre-2.0 update but I’m having a lot of fun with Cyberpunk 2077. Solid AAA game, and it seems like they hammered out a lot of the performance issues from earlier in its life.
I’m waiting for them to remove Denuvo DRM before I buy. I’d love to play it on PC with higher resolution (and hopefully framerates) but that DRM is a dealbreaker for me, unfortunately.
I’m not a big fan but my SO is really into it. They have the audio/visual presentation down but I feel like there isn’t enough depth to the gameplay to keep my attention. Plus I don’t like microtransaction games; it makes me feel like I’m playing a game that keeps reminding me it’s actually a storefront. All the customization options I want but don’t have keep turning out to be paywalled or require excessive grinding.
Playing multiplayer makes it more enjoyable though. Having a partner who is super into it helps me have fun by proxy.
It is made by the same team!
It is a mobile game. They ported it recently IIRC.
Also their game is literally $10 USD on Steam, compared to all the $70 ones that have been coming out lately.
I would assume their console export options are due to some kind of agreement with console manufacturers, as they keep their dev agreements under heavy NDAs. I wonder how this will play out.
All the hype I’ve heard about the original, I’m excited to try this! I played Sticker Star but none of the other newer games, which I understand isn’t the best representation of the series
I’m assuming Deck owners feel the same way
Confirmed, except how some of these games are out here being 100GB+. But the indie space is where it’s at right now anyway.
Fallout 4
The changes they made to the game mechanics ripped a lot of the roleplaying out of the experience. I kept hoping to find a lot of what I loved about Fallout 3 and New Vegas in it, and never did.
It’s not even necessarily a bad game, but the aspects of the games that I found fun were either heavily reduced or removed completely, leaving behind an open world shooter with a bad story.
If somebody can point me in the direction of a $20 1TB NVME for my Steam Deck and a free transfer tool please hmu
Huh TIL
I thought it was because 4k has 4x the pixel count of 1080p
Fallout 3 released two hardware generations ago at around 8GB. Fallout 4 released last gen and sits at around 25GB. One generation later, Starfield is launching at ~140GB - almost 6x the file size of the previous generation.
I can’t speak for everybody, but my PC storage didn’t jump to 6x capacity in that amount of time, and my download speeds didn’t get 6x faster. But I imagine that’s why it’s concerning to some people.
Even just going by console standards, we’re looking at only a jump of 2x capacity between the Xbox One and Xbox Series X - or exactly the same if you have a Series S. It takes up over 20% of the storage Series S in just one game - with a mandatory install, unspecified patch sizes, impending DLC, etc.
Obviously there’s a discussion to be had of WHY the games are increasing exponentially like that, but on the surface that’s likely where the bulk of the frustration comes from.
I can’t wait to play more JSRF. Haven’t grabbed Bomb Rush Cyberfunk yet but super happy to see both official and third party solutions for my fix
