Updates that fix bugs come to PC far earlier than Xbox sometimes never coming at all. Games, when not on gamepass, even from Microsoft, are typically cheaper on other platforms. And sometimes they just don’t even put content on the Xbox

Last fall was halo 2’s 20th anniversary. If you only played Xbox, you could have forgotten it. Microsoft did nothing on the Xbox about it. But on PC, they promoted the released E3 demo levels

Finally there’s the lack of investment in any hardware upgrades. The controllers still use the same crap alps stick modules, the vibration is still two big dumb motors, and the buttons are still just graphite pads on a PCB. Even on the $200 elite controllers. There’s no single channel wireless headset available first party, just stereo ones, and the add on storage still remains horrifically overpriced years later

TwinTitans, do games w Nintendo confirms $90 price for full Breath of the Wild experience on Switch 2

So sounds like a public library check out.

I have the Wii U version, and I don’t plan to replay it… on any console.

inclementimmigrant, do games w Nintendo president responds to Switch 2 price increase fears amid Trump tariff fallout

So something that I wonder about with the MSRP is how much of that is a Nvidia tax that inflated the price? The Nvidia GPU market has been so absolutely screwed by Nvidia’s lack of competition pricing model.

NuXCOM_90Percent,

nVidia genuinely does not care about gaming. It is just a way to have a few extra bins to increase effective yields for their datacenter/AI chips. If Nintendo wants to buy in bulk they’ll sell in bulk. And if Nintendo doesn’t like nVidia’s prices they can talk to AMD… like the other consoles did. Jensen will just sell those chips as mobile devices or cars or whatever.

Most speculation was around 400 USD for the switch itself for the given specs, tooling, etc. The Steam Deck is a different process but their LCD model is pretty indicative. 450 was a bump that would account for economic uncertainty and give them room to drop back down for regular discounts and the like.

Then trump trumped the bed and the previously expected buffer zone just isn’t enough. Which is why we are seeing the massive price hike.

Armok_the_bunny,

Backwards compatibility means they might not be able to talk to AMD unfortunately, depending on how the software is set up I’d assume.

NuXCOM_90Percent,

I and many people with a Cool PS2 can attest that AMD hardware has no problems running Switch games.

Armok_the_bunny,

Never heard of that, I assume it’s an emulator. Emulation is different from running a game natively. Yeah, Nintendo probably could get AMD hardware to work as a replacement for Nvidia hardware, but I would guess either compatibility would be imperfect, there would be a performance hit, or both.

Switch 2 emulates Switch 1 games, so being Nvidia or AMD doesn't really matter there

PieMePlenty,

Business to business is different than the consumer market. Nintendo comes to Nvidia and orders a custom product with a minimum order of 10 million chips, Nvidia wants that deal. They aren’t going to arbitrarily increase the price because they can because Nintendo can and will move to another vendor. Nvidia wouldn’t risk fucking up a long-standing relationship like that, especially since Nintendo is a repeat customer, and they can rely on repeat business from them each year. These are long standing relationships that don’t just fall apart that quickly unless one party wants to drastically change what they are doing.

KingThrillgore, do gaming w Ubisoft monetization director blames gamers, says they've been exposed as 'non-decent humans'

I get that you should cultivate the audience you want to play your game, but Ubisoft can’t win for losing. This should have gone through 20 publicists. I expect that mong Hero Hei to leap on this shit.

Ubisoft needs a complete management overhaul.

AGD4, do games w Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade

Is it currently possible to background transfer a game install from external HDD to SSD while playing a game? As far as I recall the PS5 did not allow that early into the system’s launch.

Not to simp for Sony, but if it is possible then I don’t think NVMe disk space is a massive issue. The system at least has a 10gbps usb-c port for external drive transfer.

NuXCOM_90Percent,

Unless you want to manually transfer every game ahead of when you want to play it, it is very much a massive issue to play games designed with nvme storage in mind on an SSD, let alone an HDD.

And that is assuming it will even launch.

And even the manual shuffling becomes a problem as the consoles tend to be very picky about how much space you have and how much buffer they want before they’ll do an FS operation. Ask any of us who had a lot of games installed on the PS4…

For context. Eric was on Tiger Belly and offhandedly mentioned he COULD make a Stardew Valley 2, not that he ever will.

TheTechnician27, (edited ) do games w Japan's prime minister is mad about Assassin's Creed Shadows where players can destroy the contents of religious sites
@TheTechnician27@lemmy.world avatar

Apologize for Nanjing and maybe there’s a snowball’s chance in hell you have a leg to stand on.

Edit: he said “It is an insult to the nation.” It’s a nation which is broadly too cowardly to recognize and apologize for the senseless and solely perpetrated murders of hundreds of thousands and rapes of tens of thousands. Your nation’s government has no honor for this, and no microscopic “insult” in a game can sink you lower.

AmidFuror,

So until Japan does that, everything they do or say is not newsworthy?

Until they do that, their PM shouldn’t be getting up in front of cameras and crying like a whiny little bitch about how a video game portrays their history.

They don’t have a chance. Steam and gog not only don’t suck, they’re actually nice to use.
