Hope I enjoy this. It does look like it has a fair amount of Shenmue like jank which could swing either way for me.
That being the PS4 generation? I think he was saying it because that's when mass digital game ownership started. And now people feel entrenched with whatever collection they've built up over the years.
I didn't really feel it before, but now having bought so many Switch 1 games and being able to carry it across to the following platform.
I do feel entrenched. How about you?
Nope, haven't collected any games in years. I have two physical copy Switch games and the only reason I have those is because GameStop would not accept them.
You must have bought digital games?Its the digital games for me. I rarely play physically games I've beaten on the past system. But being able to seamlessly transfer my huge digital collection across is something I don't want to lose access to.
Same here. I prefer digital which is interesting because a decade ago I would have hated this.
Off the top of my head we had Overcooked 2, Broken Sword the Sleeping Dragon and more.
Lollipop chainsaw is coming and Red Dead Redemption is a free upgrade.
I do. That was the main reason I went with a PS5 instead of a switch 2. I've made a pretty sizable investment in both digital and physical games for my PS4, and I would rather carry those forward than have them left on a shelf, only to be used when I hook up The PS4.
Plus, I actually do still play my older games. I'm glancing over my shoulder at my game shelf right now, I see three games I wouldn't mind playing right now. So it's just nice to have those ready to be played if the mood strikes.
I think you'll enjoy it. The combat is better than Shenmue, and the story is pretty good too. The real draw of the game though, is the characters, who are generally very interesting and fleshed out, particularly in the Kiwami versions of the game.
So he's querying if the Steam machine has an audience outside of that.
When I think back, literally the only time I used backwards compatibility was a couple of gba games on DS.I will play some Switch games on Switch 2, but mostly because digitally its all so easy and continuous.
I spent a lot of money hooking up and even buying a replacement 360 and Wii, Mclassic etcBut I only played one game with that setup, Alan Wake. I even bought 10+ more games I never played including Fallout Vegas, Max Payne 3 and more.
Red Dead Redemption too.
Your love of the games was a big factor in me getting it.
There's a Rick Moranis looking side character people hate. He's like Ryan Renolds in Blade 3 annoying.
But he seems to be contained in this 1 area shown to journalists.
Yeah, that’s definitely what he was talking about. Nowadays people have a user profile attached to any given company’s ecosystem. Contains a whole host of things such as digital games, friends list, achievements/trophies, etc. The longer people stay in that ecosystem building all those things up, the more entrenched they’ll get and won’t want to give them up. This is why I think Nintendo would be wise to implement their own achievement/trophy system as well.
That new Metroid preview was pretty awesome. This was informative: "Abilities include power beam. The ability to jump."
During the RT test in Cyberpunk 2077, the frame rate crashed with Ray T turned onracing into the unplayable range (~30 fps), exposing
RT performance as a weak point
- Choosing to pivot to a point in the Steam hardware stats carries the risk of leaving buyers behind in terms of future viability (VRAM/RT issues).
Prime 4 looks nice
Switch Up is normally pretty good. But the informal chats are a bit useless.When Mark said "the ability to jump" I had a side eye moment.
I can't even be bothered cancelling Netflix for a month and trying something new.
Metroid Prime 4 looking and sounding very good. Only 3 weeks away now. Woo hoo!
There seems to be lots of side characters you have to work with. Im worries the isolated atmosphere will suffer.
So I played the first fight in Yakuza Kiwami, combat seems pretty simple, hit, grab, heavy attack and use chairs to beat people.
Does it get more complicated? I like best em ups so its fine so far.
