Try liking sonic the hedgehog games. The characters are all children but the fandom does not care.
- Comment on Microsoft says it needs games like Hi-Fi Rush the day after killing its studio 1 week ago:
I’d argue that xcloud and gamepass are equally disruptive to the industry. In either case you don’t own the games and they are tied to a subscription. Whether the game is running locally or in remote hardware doesn’t change how it impacts development and sales of games.
Cloud based gaming is not going to replace owning hardware unless they can ensure sub 20ms response time for every and I don’t belive that target is feasible but either case is bad for gaming as a whole. Games with 100 million dollar budgets are never going to see a positive ROI on services like gamepass and are reliant on gamers being willing to pay full price at launch.
My point is that Gamepass and similar services will kill AAA games if they become the primary way people access games and that is something that is best avoided. Games need a 6-12 month buffer to hit sales targets before they are considered for subscription services, otherwise the entire business model will fall flat on its face and take gaming with it.
- Comment on Microsoft says it needs games like Hi-Fi Rush the day after killing its studio 1 week ago:
MS surprise launched hifi rush with zero marketing, put it on gamepass day 1 then complains it didn’t meets ales expectations and shuts down the studio that made it. Now, 48 hours later, they are saying they need more games like that.
It may not be directly referenced in the article but cloud gaming was absolutely a part of what led to the closure of tango gameworks.

I usually don’t care much for streamers but Wirtual is amazing. He’s a talented player in his own right but also does a great job explaining the nuts and bolts of the game. I’m still a mediocre trackmania player (odd since I am usually very good at racing games) but his videos have taught me a lot.

To be fair, it hurts when they nip you.
- Comment on Legend of Zelda 5 weeks ago:
Replayed it last year and it was as good as I remembered. Windwaker is my personal favourite but LTTP is so close it might as well be a tie.

If it’s not haunted then why is it sweating?
- Comment on Goodbye MatPat, thanks for everything 4 months ago:
I’m to young for the first one but too old for the second one. I’m also used to society ignoring my generation so that’s fine.

It’s no more difficult that portal 2 was IMO.

If you managed to play through reloaded, revolution will be a wall in the park. I played through it yesterday and it’s great.
- Comment on MSI CLAW gaming handheld leaked, features Intel Core Ultra 7 155H with Arc graphics and 32GB memory 4 months ago:
I would love it if T8 could lock a solid 60fps on the deck. T7 fluctuates between 45 to 60 for me with everything set to low, not ideal for a fighting game.
- Comment on Tekken 8 demo poised to launch on December 14 on PS5, Xbox and PC afterward 5 months ago:
T7 has performance issues on the deck for me, I’m not hopeful for 8.
- Comment on PlayStation Portal Is Out Today, But Fans Are Having a Hard Time Finding One - IGN 5 months ago:
No, that would mean it can be used on it’s own. It’s literally a dumb terminal for the ps5 and nothing more.

The rest of the world doesn’t exist, it’s just a scam made up by the passport cartel to fleece you of your money every few years.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
A little, yeah. It’s screen is 800p and the hardware was designed to target that. Older and less demanding games manage ok at 1080p or even 4k but newer AAA games are not going to get there.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
And hopefully higher clocks and/or more cores when docked or on AC. I lov love my steam deck but would love it more if it could manage 1080p when docked without the performance tanking.
- Comment on I tried over 20 Steam Next demos so that you don't have to! 6 months ago:
What controller are you using? The right stick controlled my camera just fine with a dual shock 4 in windows and on my steam deck. Control issues aside, if you aren’t a fan of racing games, this game isn’t going to change that but the demo has me very excited for the full release.

Lumines 2 so probably crushed by falling blocks while genki rockets plays in the background.
- Comment on Chinese video games are on the rise, but I wish they got more respect 7 months ago:
China has spent decades building up their reputation of a place that produces cheap, inferior copies of better products and they aren’t going to shake that overnight or even in a few years.
- Comment on What games can you recommend that didn't get the appreciation that they deserved? 7 months ago:
It’s also 90 percent off on steam right now. Just grabbed it for $4.40 Canadian after tax.
- Comment on What games can you recommend that didn't get the appreciation that they deserved? 7 months ago:
I remeber playing Jedi fallen order and seeing ships being broken down like that during the opening mission. I thought that I would rather be doing that and then hardspace showed up on steam a few days later. It’s been on my wish list for way too long, definitely going to pick it up for my next game
- Comment on PlayStation 5- how sre the visuals so good and games run so well on a machine with the equivalent of a GTX 2060? 7 months ago:
They only have to target a single hardware configuration, the os has much less overhead than a typical desktop os, a graphics api that runs closer to the metal (also why the ps5 outperforms the more powerful series x) and some good development tools all go a long way to boosting the performance of the hardware.
I have an r5 3600 with an rtx 2070 and would not be surprised if the ps5 performs better with multiplatform titles.
- Comment on Game wikis just aren't as popular anymore? 7 months ago:
There was nothing wrong with the gamefaqs model, not every game needs or deserves a fully fleshed out wiki. Wikis are great if you want to know more about a game universe and its characters but are pretty awful as walkthroughs.
