  If there is over a 50% chance the device will not do what it is supposed to do (play your game) then nobody will want to use that device. We are just arguing over semantics here. I hope you see this as a not good thing for nintendo to do… “Samus”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo faces legal action over ability to brick Switch 2s whenever they want⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes most 1st party published games are on the cartridge yes, but the majority of the library is/will be 3rd party…

  So being generous this is a “majority brick”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo faces legal action over ability to brick Switch 2s whenever they want⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When a switch 2 cannot reach online services, all your physical 3rd party “Game Keycards” become useless to you, as they require the game to be downloaded from nintendo online services.

  This is a brick

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo’s Anti-Consumer Anti-Piracy Measures Also Reduce The Value Of The Switch 2⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  1. Yes, in order to download your “Game Keycard” games, you must get the game data from nintendo online services. This is why banning online services is considered effectively bricking the console, at least for all 3rd party games on keycards.

  2. If an account is banned, another one can be made for free and the user can keep utilizing their online services… Nintendo obviously looks at that like a burden, and wants to financially punish that user, making them have to buy another switch. This in turn benefits them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bungie delays Marathon, telling players, "we know we need more time"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Offline play with bots, not server dependent… Its a multiplayer game with mtx. Its not an Online-Only service game.

  You could consider it a service game of sorts, but it isnt the toxic sludge that Destiny 2 and Marathon are/could have been.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bungie delays Marathon, telling players, "we know we need more time"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. I would love it if they took all the assets and the engine and made a great campaign actually grounded in the marathon universe. Thats what i would pay for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bungie delays Marathon, telling players, "we know we need more time"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What they need is to make a completely different game.

  Destiny was successful because it was the first real fps service game, it didnt push mtx, and had competent pve, pvp and a story(debatably). Bungie cant chase that dragon anymore. Its been done a million times now.

  Players know all service games want is to milk them with mtx. No player wants to get into a new service game especially when its nothing unique.

  Just make a good single and multiplayer shooter with a somewhat interesting story and people will buy and play it.

  It seems so easy, but AAA pubs and devs cant pull their heads out of their own asses to see what players want. They just see what investors want.

  There, dead horse kicked again.

  I see your point with the millions that play those specific games, maybe i am just disappointed by microsoft only doing the bare minimum when they are forced to.

  This is at least progress

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft and Asus announce two Xbox Ally handhelds with new Xbox full-screen experience⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh and about the potential for native Xbox games running on PC handhelds… God i hope youre right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft and Asus announce two Xbox Ally handhelds with new Xbox full-screen experience⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it good enough for you? Is that why you will get it? Where are these people you speak of…?

  I highly doubt there are enough people that want that super particular use case to make this particular handheld stand out at all, especially ones that didnt meet their needs with another handheld already.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft and Asus announce two Xbox Ally handhelds with new Xbox full-screen experience⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What a weak sell then, i understand your point, i just wish Xbox came out swinging with a compatibility layer for the Xbox game library. A portable device with that capability would have the potential to put them back on top.

  Instead we get a less bad version of windows, that will likely be inferior to its direct competitor anyways(steamOS). I see no reason to believe it wont be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft and Asus announce two Xbox Ally handhelds with new Xbox full-screen experience⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Its not that i dont prefer the PC library, its that there are already dozens of other handhelds that play PC games already.

  So then the UI is the sole reason people should want this device?

  I see no reason why this UI shouldnt also work on the plethora of other windows handhelds in the market currently. This leaves nothing new for this device to offer… Unless its really cheap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft and Asus announce two Xbox Ally handhelds with new Xbox full-screen experience⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This will likely only play pc games… And that is the big disappointment.

  Who cares? We already have pc gaming handhelds. Unless this is subsidized to hell so it beats all other pricepoints… why should anyone care?

  If my xbox library was made mobile… That would be something new and worthwhile. NO, I DONT WANT TO STREAM. I cant always stream on a handheld either. I want to possess my games!(As much as i can anyways)

  Xbox will be disappointed by the sales of this handheld and might give up on their own that could play the xbox library locally. If they do that their next generation is screwed. Lets see how this plays out.

  As long as they remake the original Witcher(and maybe the 2nd one too) so i can experience it in a similarly cinematic way to The Witcher 3… I will be happy and excited to see what a Ciri-based game or even trilogy would look like.

  Will definitely miss the masculine indulgences of TW3 in the Ciri game though…

  The original psychonauts was a cult classic though that got great reviews.

  Starfield is in the opposite boat, it doesnt seem to have been a commercial failure, but fan sentiment is really low with the starfield franchise to the point that the hype around a sequel would be nowhere near what it was for psychonauts 2… But this is all my assumption, difficult to find/trust empirical data on fan interest.

  Can you think of another commercial failure IP that ever got a sequel? I honestly want to know if this ever happens.

  I have to look back and see if Red Dead Revolver was as disappointing as Starfield.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even Starfield's community patch modders are growing 'disenchanted' with the sci-fi RPG, as volunteers depart in droves: 'If nobody comes forward, we may have to retire the project'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Great point. I agree that people would likely forgive all of the technical and environmental shortcomings(loading screens and bland environments) if the game had even a slightly interesting story. Anything worth experiencing at all. Unfortunately it fails on all 3 of those fronts.

  The places where it excels (1st person gameplay compared to other B* games, ship building, and graphics imo) are not enough to make it a game worth experiencing.

  It honestly should have used another 2 years in the oven to make the lore and universe more interesting. No way Bethesda wastes another 5-8 years on a sequel with the negative reception Starfield received.

  As opposed to paying actual real-world currency to respec a character… Like in monster hunter wilds 🙃

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Painkiller - Weapons Trailer | Galaxies Showcase 2025⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We will see what the aaaactual gameplay looks like. If the hit detection and subsequent damage effects are at least at Doom’s level, it could be a good game. This video might as well be a mock up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Switch 2 Rollout Was So Convoluted It Made Us Want A Steam Deck.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The only thing “convoluted” about this whole announcement was pricing. The price of the console The price of the games The price of their online services and upgrades…

  All of that is gut-wrenching as Nintendo claws at its dedicated fans wallets.

  Otherwise the features and games look amazing, i understand why people are willing to pay those prices.

  Fingers crossed we luck out with easy jailbreaks and emulators like we did for the Switch 1.

  I have one as well that sits docked next to my playstation, its the ideal way to game, if you dont mind dealing with a bit of challenges to get some classics running.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PlayStation’s extraordinary effort to preserve its game-making history⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Edit: preserve for their customers, not preserve the data for themselves, they can still choose to vault content forever, then what good is it to anyone?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PlayStation’s extraordinary effort to preserve its game-making history⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It will definitely be something in between that incrementally moves the mark in their favor to an extent that people dont mind.

  Linux truly is the only open frontier of gaming and software independence. The only reason to not be there already is mild inconvenience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PlayStation’s extraordinary effort to preserve its game-making history⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Theyre already doing it with all PS3 games, and you can only stream them.

  This absolutely is not preservation of classic games, this is walling off and financially exploiting them as much as possible. Nintendo is doing the exact same thing.

  Imagine if these companies started doing this with all new games? They wont right now because people would be outraged at not possessing their games(or at least their data).

  Alas, we are all boiling frogs and 2013 Xbox is getting what they predicted… An all digital future where the consumer possesses nothing and pays more for it. This is exactly where Sony is headed… Dont let the insulting trickle feed of 2 classic titles per month convince anyone otherwise.
