Right now you can absolutely share digital games. You do need to have your account logged in on both machines and only the one where your "main" account sits can play the games offline.
This seems both easier and harder? There are now arbitrary time limits and per-game activations, which seems like a massive mess. Before the only limit was that a game couldn't be played in two places at once and that secondary consoles needed to stay online.
But conversely, the "main account" thing was annoying for a portable, so if you shared with someone that carried their console around outside the house it kinda required giving THEM the main account with all the games and keeping the secondary for yourself. This is a very parent-like situation to be in. So... that's better?
The worry here is that this sure seems like setting the groundwork to give up on physical media altogether without messing with the way people use Nintendo portables, and that is a bad thing overall. Given Nintendo's dumb, litigious approach towards these things they're getting no benefit of the doubt from me in this area.
In Darktide its always 12 Waves, at the beginning you choose a focus ( Indulgence) which dictates the character of the buffs you receive throughout your run. (think buffs to melee/ ranged, survivability, etc.) You receive a random minor buff every round in accordance with the Indulgence you chose at the beginning, and every 4 rounds you choose a major buff out of three presented to you (also in accordance with your chosen indulgence).
The mode is pretty fun, though the fact that there are currently only 2 maps lets it get stale pretty quick imo
Looks more impressive with its features than I thought from previous previews, but man they really can’t hide it chugging with the frame rate for these open areas in motion…
The two weeks are only for sharing across accounts in a family, if you’re using the same account across two devices there isn’t a time limit. You could already play your games on both but before the secondary device needed to connect to the Internet every time you launched the game, and now it’s just when loading.
Hey, I’m sure it solves a problem for people, but the easier solution is still just the absence of DRM, as much as Nintendo would not like to do it, and it introduces exactly the kind of complexity that Sony mocked 12 years ago.
Bro how is this the way I find out there’s a Switch Direct, and that there’s a new Rhythm Heaven, AND a new Tomodachi Life??? Next year is gonna be so fucking peak holy shit 😭🥹😩
I never cared for game informer. It always felt like GameStop was trying to shill it in order to sell subscriptions to a magazine that’s basically a giant advertisement for GameStop.
Gimme those cooler magazines. Game Pro, Nintendo Power, PSM etc.
So you like ads, just not GameStop ads? I mean, GI had a lot of info about games, too. Beyond Nintendo and PS, you could actually learn about PC games.
