It is. But if you read interviews and watch the podcasts where they talk about it they seemed pretty confident they could make it look just as good. I’m skeptical but hopeful.
They fixed the performance issues, but at the end of the day, the game is still boring as fuck. IDK how they did it, cause the CyberPunk aesthetic is right up my alley.
Before they get too far, can someone please make sure they have the rights to Joe Walsh’s “In The City” this time? It would be fantastic music for an intro, outro, or act break.
As soon as they showed the JoyCon mouse control I was hoping there would be support for standard mice. It still doesn’t do anything to steer me toward a Switch 2 over a Steam Deck, but it’s an excellent move for accessibility.
Yeah it’s about use-case. Owning 2 handhelds from the same generation really only makes sense if you collect consoles. I didn’t buy a Steam Deck because I got gifted a Switch Lite. I’m covered as far as handhelds go until there are new games I can’t play. I would argue most people think this way.
Your perspective is way off. It sounds like you’re young, single (no kids, at least), and doing well for yourself. Which is great!
I have a pretty well-paying job, at least enough for my family and I to live comfortably. But I also have adult responsibilities, including taking care of said family. Sure, on paper, I could feasibly afford to get both, but there’s no sense in getting two systems that–to my earlier point–seem to serve identical functions. Especially not when I’d also like to go out with my wife, prep a high schooler for college, help my younger child with severe special needs with everything he needs to thrive, sometimes go on vacation, do some other hobbies, responsibly maintain vehicles and things around the house, and so on. All that on top of purchasing frugally (every single piece of furniture in my living room, for example, we got secondhand for free).
So yes, it’s very much an either/or decision for me, as it is for a lot of people.
Funny you mention it, the next large purchase I have planned is a gaming PC to replace my aging 2018 laptop, and I plan on going all-in on Linux. From what I can tell, AMD seems to be the way to go, and as a long time Fedora user, I’m interested in Nobara.
The kinect was near useless but I had fun with it. At one point I set it up to control Kodi with hand gestures. It was clunky but kinda cool. Good times.
Mine still exists for almost exactly the same reason. Its excellent tech and it can be used for great things. One day I’ll learn how to do stuff like that and then I’ll be as a god. I mean not today obviously I got stuff to do I’m a busy man, but one day. Probably. Its nice to dream.
I really liked the potential of Kinect as the first one had some good stuff for it.
I liked the fitness and dancing apps, I thought the Forza Motorsport integration was very subtle but good for immersion and the voice control of Mass Effect 3 was also immersive.
They were all promising improvements that could have gone somewhere with the second version. But then they fucked it up and it went nowhere.
Knowing how actually amazing the sensor suite in the Kinect is: It is far from useless. It’s just far better utilized in avenues other than video gaming. lol
Though I hella would like one for VR, as it makes for an excellent FBT unit.
Is it because the whole thing was absolutely bullshit? The dude was trying to sell it as if it were an actual artificial intelligence years before LLMs were even where they are now (and they absolutely fucking suck rn).
Edit: lol “I want to sit down and smoke what I smoke, drink what I drink and not dance around like a twat.”
