JFC, you know, I can see some problems arising from games/companies changing hands and shit going dark here and there on a game for a bit… but bullshit like this… this is the reason we can’t have nice things.
You know, I was mildly ambivalent about Ubisoft recently (just burned out by their games and not wanting to buy them until I’ve slept for ages) but… Really? This is the hill they want to die on? Well that does say a lot about them, now doesn’t it?
Ubisoft is the Shredder of game companies. Evil, but ultimately their plans would fall apart even without the Turtles intervening because they are just awful.
Shredder never even has defined plans. Now granted, I was a kid in the 80s. If the new series is different, I don’t know. I didn’t even see the micheal bay movies. I saw the original cartoon, the first 3 movies, and the “coming out of our shell” tour.
Shredder always just kind of showed up, and maybe robbed a jewelry store. Or kidnapped April and that skinny news reporter guy.
There never seemed to be a plan. It was always just vague “do crime and evil shit…”
Then they introduced the mafia, who for some reason just liked tickling everybodies feet.
I only know the OG cartoon and movies, myself. Shredder wasn’t even the true villain in the OG cartoon after a certain point; he became Krang’s bumbling henchman in like the second or 3rd season. Krang, being the literal brains of the operstion had plans and Shredder, well… Shredded them.
So I ended up reading up on the original comics because I knew they were a bit darker than the cartoons. It seems shredder is only in volume 1 of 4. In it he’s basically a New York Yakuza boss that kills splinters master. So splinter trains the turtles to kill shredder. After that he does get resurrected once, but after that he stays dead.
Volume 2 cover a full on battle with DARPA (for experimenting on aliens and turtles), Volume 3 has a possible daughter of shredder trying to get revenge, but volume 4 retcons volume 3 and focuses on a future where aliens come to earth and the turtles can roam the streets as “aliens” (which isn’t that weird for the series as aliens first appear in volume 1).
It isn’t like Nintendo where the games make up for much, Ubisoft fucking blows. Their games are either shallow as shit, or cookie-cutter grindfests based on the same old tired design. I’m glad they don’t own anything that anybody would miss. There isn’t a franchise they own that they haven’t already ruined. Rayman, maybe?
I’m going to keep boycotting ubisoft until they release Beyond Good and Evil 2. Then I’ll boycott them because there’s no way they don’t turn it into an open world-climb towers to unlock the map-crafting-nonsense
Now I get why they didnt want there to be physical Cardridges
This way, there is no way someone can boot it on a day one version if they didnt buy it right now and updated it to v 1.0, effectively making it impossible for normal to use exploits for older versions
That is one of the options, that apparently a lot of the 3rd party devs are using. So far, all 1st party Nintendo titles are announced to include the game on the cartridge (not just a key)
Ah that clarifies a lot actually. I do miss the days where I’d go to a store and buy a physical copy of a game. Then again, they do end up taking up (physical) space of course.
There’s a lot of noise and disinformation floating out there, here’s the simplest explanation:
The Switch 2 will launch with three different types of physical cartridges denoted by serial numbers to describe their purpose:
LB - The cartridge will work on Nintendo Switch 2 consoles only. LP - Game Key cartridges in which a digital download is required LN - The cartridge will work on both Nintendo Switch 1 and 2.
I think the other aspect is that we have the statistics now. I would assume that the PS2 had more monthly users than the PS3 for quite a long time maybe even up to the PS4. Same with the Wii and WiiU and going farther back quite possibly the NES than the SNES, SNES than the N64, C64 than the Amiga, etc.
I think DC Universe Online went free to play before the PS4 came out. Don’t recall any other. PC had a lot of free to play games during the PS3 era though. Shooting games like Crossfire and Americas Army. A ton of free to play MMOs and I think it came out like halfway through the PS3 era, League of Legends
Exactly. It’d be cool to have in a few months/years when the exploits inevitably get patched. But there’s no way for me to justify the purchase at that price point.
Yeah that’s the only reason I’ve considered it. However, things have changed a lot since the Switch 1 came out. Existing Switch emulators will likely work well on Switch 2 soon given the similar hardware and the Steam Deck massively raised the bar on what I expect out of a portable system.
Plus the controller still looks like it sucks for adult hands.
