- Comment on The Switch 2: Is it worth buying? 2 weeks ago:
I think the hardware has a lot of promise, but it's fair to say that at this very instant there aren't many exclusives to justify it if you aren't excited about Mario Kart.
If you have a backlog of Switch games, or you have favorites you're frequently playing on Switch, the improved processing power and loading times could be attractive, even if your games don't have resolution/framerate patches. For example, Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition loads battles in a snap, and doesn't have any framerate issues during gameplay anymore (although it is still capped at like 30 FPS in cutscenes, sadly.)
There's a couple other neat things about it, but likely not too relevant to anyone who's on the fence about the console.
- Comment on Rebellion CEO seems kind of awed by major studios making massive videogames: 'How do you organize a game that has 2,000 people working on it?' 3 months ago:
The rarest human resource there is: good management.
- Comment on Is there any (single player playable) game under $10 or equivalent which has made you point any go "ha" or given you an equivalent feeling because it was that enjoyable for every moment you played it? 6 months ago:
Vampire Survivors is $5, and I got like 90 hours out of it without buying any DLC.
- Comment on 7 days to die is no longer Early Access, but still looks like this 8 months ago:
Honestly, as long as the collision lets you walk over it smoothly without getting caught in the gap between the terrain and the object, I think this is fine. Having it flush or overlapping would probably lead to z-fighting or other weird collision bugs.

As long as it has good writing... and maybe they turn down the crudity a touch... I think it has the potential to be well-received.

I haven't played Callisto Protocol, but it's explicitly a spiritual successor, yeah

If exploration, discovery, and puzzling out mysteries aren't engaging for you, it might just not be your type of game.

Well, sure, but with this device there's maybe the potential for indie developers to do something unique with that hardware I suppose?
Not really sure what the barriers to entry are for an indie dev to develop for the Switch. Maybe it's not as difficult as I imagine it is. /shrug

Oh shit. I'm bookmarking this. I might have to set up my Vive Pro again after so many years...

Without giving any specific spoilers, the game has a primarily archaeological feel, you will be following breadcrumbs around to various places in the solar system (your journal is important!!!) and learning about the ancient civilization that mysteriously disappeared. finally piecing together the whole picture is one of the most powerful moments I've ever had in gaming.
there's no "correct order" to do things in, so if you feel like you've hit a dead end or you can't figure out what you should be doing at a particular place, consider going somewhere else. and most importantly: follow your curiosity

If anyone hasn't played this game yet: don't read the article!
I highly recommend you experience this for yourself while knowing as little as possible about it. Top tier game.

I'm not too familiar with the handheld PC space, but one thing that stuck out to me was the IR webcam. I wonder whether that will enable some neat things in the same vein as the Nintendo Switch's IR sensor.
