The only benefit to Netflix games is that these games have no ads or IAP.

XTornado,

I mean some are exclusive if you wanted them on the phone.

I already canceled Netflix when they stopped allowing me to use my account in multiple locations.

Not at all surprised their games got microtransactioms.

I’m not playing Netflix games unless they bring back the good ol’ cable TV games from the late 90s to dick around with your remote on the TV for 10 minutes.

wasn’t lack of microtransactions and ads the whole point of these?

Netflix continuing to piss and shit and cum its pants after the one quarter where they had -1% subscriber growth, and the company lost 75% of its value. Investors are such smart cookies.

Ha, if I want to play games, Netflix is the last place I’d go. Stay in your fucking lane Netflix.

Jaysyn, do gaming w Switch 2 predicted to match Steam Deck price, $100 more than OG Switch
@Jaysyn@kbin.social avatar

I love the Switch, but it's nowhere near as useful as a Steam Deck for the same price & has only a tiny fraction of the Steam Deck's current game library.

@Jaysyn @mike591 I would agree in general but I still do find myself longing for the more compact/lighter frame of the switch sometimes

conciselyverbose,

I definitely don't.

Joycons are the worst controller anyone has ever made, and making it remotely usable isn't any smaller.

kurcatovium,

The price of the library is nearly the same, though… sad

KyoStarr,

Not sure what you mean. I get deals all the time using sites like gg.deals to cross reference multiple store fronts for PC deals for my Steam Deck, paying a fraction of what they would have cost on Switch.

conciselyverbose,

He was memeing that buying the 5% of the games the Switch has would cost just as much as buying everything on Steam.

kurcatovium,

Exactly this. Steam has one huge benefit for players: it made gaming pretty cheap. If you don’t need every game day 1 and you are patient, you can play dirt cheap. And I mean dirt cheap.

This is not entirely true for Nintendo, which tends to hold prices way higher. At least from the quick glance I made couple years ago when I was thinking about Switch.

conciselyverbose,

I don't think Skyrim has been below $30 lol

Ah on a second read I see that now haha.

It does still have an advantage of being plug and play compared to the Steam Deck's "it's like a portable console except you're still PC gaming so I hope you like caveats, changing settings, and troubleshooting"

KyoStarr,
@KyoStarr@kbin.social avatar

I very rarely have to troubleshoot games. Maybe toggle a few quality settings to get it to run to my liking but that's about it.

all-knight-party,
@all-knight-party@kbin.run avatar

It really depends on the game. I think an important thing to note is that if you're going to mention the incredible library of a PC platform like the Steam Deck that a lot of these older than five years or so PC games will absolutely require more particular settings and fiddling to get them to run perfectly compared to consoles that guarantee you a game running with comfortable controls with no hassle for anything in their library.

Performance notwithstanding, but even then striking the balance between performance and image quality with graphics options is sometimes more of the experiential decision making than a casual console gamer might want to be concerned with. I think you absolutely get used to and probably don't notice the lower level of these things if you've been on PC for a while, but it is a big part of whether I choose to play switch or PC.

And of course, if your only concern is playing modern releases on PC, then this won't matter as much, but it is a factor.

Netflix has games? Are they real games or trivia games?

@LaGG_3@hexbear.net avatar

I think they had exclusive rights to the phone version of Into The Breach and funded the expansion for it

HairHeel,
@HairHeel@programming.dev avatar

they’ve got some decent ones on there. I just started playing Shredder’s Revenge and am having a lot of fun. Into The Breach is fantastic. They also have GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas, not that those are exactly new games.

poppy,

Depending what you’re in to, some mobile versions of good games like Oxenfree and Spiritfarer and Reigns.

Fixbeat, do gaming w Netflix might add in-app purchases and ads to its games no one plays

I didn’t know Netflix has games…because I canceled a long time ago when they went to shit and raised prices.

I recently canceled my Netflix subscription just because I use Youtube and Paramount about 150% more often, and then finding out they had … games lol I don’t believe you

BigDanishGuy, do gaming w Netflix might add in-app purchases and ads to its games no one plays

Yes, just what I wanted.

I don’t even want interactive titles, why did Netflix clutter the interface with games? I just want to how some noise in the background, so I don’t have to listen to my thoughts.

selokichtli, do gaming w Netflix might add in-app purchases and ads to its games no one plays

Well, whatever…

EDIT: Sorry, it’s just frustration.

Just absolutely desperate to wring out more revenue lmao

FeelzGoodMan420, do gaming w Be careful, recording Baldur's Gate 3's adult scenes on Xbox might net you a temporary ban

“I can’t play any game that requires a network connection (Basically making all the money I put into MW3 over the last 6 months even more worthless).”

Do people really spend this much money on micro transactions? I bought like 1 csgo skin like 10 years ago and haven’t bought a micro transaction since. What is the matter with people?

technologicalcaveman,

Like 10 years ago I put 4 bucks on my steam account and bought as many dime csgo skins as possible. I don't think I've ever bought any other microtransactions.

ApathyTree, do gaming w Be careful, recording Baldur's Gate 3's adult scenes on Xbox might net you a temporary ban
@ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Does Microsoft not have the ability to block recording specific scenes like PlayStation does?

Can’t they just block recording that and call it a day instead of “surprise you broke some asinine rule you didn’t know about!”

TwilightVulpine,

This is also bad.

They approved the game to be on the platform, banning people for recording scenes is ridiculous.

To this day I resent Sony for not allowing me to stream Persona 5 to my sister, which is a series we used to play together a lot.
