Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period (www.nintendolife.com) angielski

I like how this article does not talk about the anti consumer practices engaged in by Nintendo, that might push some customers away from their consoles. /s Nintendo can disable your Switch 2 for piracy in the U.S., but not in Europe, as confirmed by its EULA. There is already a switch in my household, but the price along with...

@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

The same is true of PlayStation and Xbox too (and has been for a decade or more). At least in US, don’t know about Europe. This is not to defend Nintendo, just saying that if that was the issue, it would effect all the consoles, and would have been effecting them for last many years. Average people don’t even know about these, and many probably don’t even care.

There might be more to this, but with the current economy, and consoles getting more expensive instead of cheaper as time goes on could be some of the reasons, IMO. And there weren’t much holiday sales this year.

First year sales are also generally limited by supply, not demand, so it will be interesting to see how Switch 2 does in its second and third years, specially if we do get next PS and Xbox next year.

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Oh yeah, that last lines were about Switch 2 doing record sales in first year, not about the holidays sales, should have made it clear.

I agree with all your points about holiday sales, but I am not sure if it means that it’s momentum has slowed down or it just went down because of other expenses and stuff people wanted to buy over this period. Will be interesting if the sales go back up or if they keep going down.

Not sure, I got the impression that all consoles sold worse than usual, but I didn’t actually dig deep into it.

Day 541 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing angielski

Today’s game is Max Payne. I continued my playthrough today with a friend who’s on call. I was just kind of peeking around with the camera when i noticed the writing on the wall behind Max (literally). I probably missed it my first playthrough because i was blind, but it’s kind of ironic that the writing was literally on...

I remember this area. And if I still remember it, must mean it was a tough area.

Day 539 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing angielski

Today’s game is Max Payne. I went ahead and figured out how to renable the Developer tools again and was just playing around with it. Remedy games are always the most fun to do this with because not only does it let you get out neat screenshots (like the one above), but theres some interesting things to be found out of bounds....

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

If Max Payne wasn’t in the pic, it would’ve been pretty difficult to guess.

Day 538 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing angielski

Today’s game is Red Dead Online. Me and my friend played in a private lobby and just hunted some stuff. It’s honestly one of my favorite ways to spend my time playing this game. I don’t think i have it in me to directly take an Animal’s life, so this game kind of lets me get the experience of it without the guilt...

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, it’s a fun, some of the screenshots can be really tough to guess.

Day 537 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing angielski

For whatever reason I’ve had major network issues on my end (fucking AT&T man). I’d have to assume it’s on my end because as far as I’ve heard there was no major outage, but I did get today’s out even if it’s a bit late. Today’s game is Max Payne. I wanted to play this January, since I assume December/January was...

Why did you play Max Payne 2 before 1? This doesn’t sit right with me! 😀

slimerancher,

Heh, an interesting way to play them.

Day 535 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing angielski

Today’s game is The Darkside Detective. I had gifted a friend a copy of OneShot, and he ended up enjoying it so much he gifted me this as a little game exchange. He said he thought i might like it. Turns out, i really enjoyed it. It’s a basic point and click but a lot of fun....

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

It is on my wishlist, glad to see you enjoying it.

Day 511 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing angielski

Today’s game is some more Mario Kart Wii Retro Rewind. I went to a concert today so i didn’t have much down time in respects too gaming. I did manage to help a friend setup this on his computer though. We played a few rounds and had a blast. I couldn’t figure out how to turn on Bots, so it was just us, but it did make...

@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Not a huge fan of multiplayer games, but can be fun with friends.

As for people who don’t like live service games, Sony has mentioned multiple times that the budget for live service games is completely separate from single player games. The issue was that they previously put their good single player studios to making these games, as long as they get proper third party or specialised studios for these and leave their first party studios for first party, I am happy.

Today’s game is some more Project Zomboid. Cable’s hand had to come off today. His right hand to be more specific. He got bitten and we had to rush for a emergency procedure. Jerry sawed it off and we had our friend on stand by. Cable just barely pulled through. I prepared everything in advance. Bandages, anti septic, the...

Wow, it’s weird to realise that there is so much depth and features in a game that look like this 😀

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Heh, true. When I first looked at it after hearing so much about it I thought it was a wrong game.

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Ah, okay. Thanks for the info!

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, that will also require more work and animations for each feature like this. Much easier to do in a game like this.

Day 500 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing angielski

Today’s game is Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor. While i was doing my ACIII playthrough, i was watching the LoTR trilogy with my younger siblings. And you know what it reminded me of? This game. It feels like the Arkham Games meet Middle Earth. I never got very far into it though years ago when i first played, so i wanted to...

That’s a nice list. Did you finish all the games you started? Or drop some games too?

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

You don’t have to finish all the games. It’s okay to drop games you aren’t enjoying. In the long run, time is a much more scarce commodity than money.

This looks great. It may scratch that Skyrim itch.

Day 489 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing angielski

Today’s game is Halo 3. I had this whole thing planned for today like i did with Reach, but the Cloud Flare outage stopped me from getting on (as of now pixelfed is still offline). I suppose i spent the time being productive at least. I wrote a few commands, one too upload pictures to Pixelfed from the terminal, one too sort...

Heh, don’t worry, that’s how everyone starts.

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah. I think it’s because no matter how much you improve, you keep learning new stuff to make your code better, so it always feel like what you have already written is a mess.

Also, obligatory comic about code quality:

So DMCA takedowns are only for gameplay videos, they haven’t sent any takedown (or any other) notice to whoever is hosting / running / developing the custom server code.

It will be interesting to see how it progresses.

Day 485 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing angielski

Today’s game is some more Assassin’s Creed 3. After finishing up the modern segment (which was surprisingly short) I headed down to the basement to look at the new costumes the Remaster Provided. They had them on racks that were there in the first game. It made me wonder if they removed costumes for the racks or they added...

Oh yeah, the modern era in Black Flag era was pretty meh. Haven’t played any AC game after that so no idea about those.

Today’s game is Max Payne 2. I did the fun house today. Made Mona shoot a flamingo. Surprisingly the game went by really fast tonight. It took me a total of 40 minutes to do the funhouse and then manor sections, which i think are a total of 3 levels. I forget how short these games can be once you kind of know what you’re...

But that would change the format of the title! And while it has evolved over the time, that would feel so weird!

Also, it’s sometimes fun to see the featured picture and guess what the game is 😀

Winter burrow SBI controversy angielski

Winter burrow on steam is being released today, (Nov 12th). I went to the forums to see complete chaos. People arguing and calling out the developers about using sweet baby inc. and hiding it, others wondering what the big deal is like myself. It could just be the anti woke gamers, but there were other complaints. I got the demo...

Today’s game is some Assassin’s Creed III. This was what i had lined up to play after Max Payne 2, and initially i was going to play some more of that. But i had decided to set this up ahead of time. Then… i decided to make sure it works… and i kind of lost track of time. These games are kind of my Guilty pleasure. I...

I liked the game when I played it and I never saw the Haytham twist coming either, I mean until the reveal it themselves. Also don’t remember that sign on his back.

I don’t think I have the stamina for these games anymore. I played Black Flag a few years back but didn’t like it and Black Flag is considered one of the best AC game by everyone.

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

I guess large library size can be a contributing factor too. I have tons of games in my backlog and not enough time, so prefer shorter and tighter experiences, which can sometimes be difficult since my favourite genre is RPG, but I have lost interest in games that doesn’t respect your time, which is most open world games.

There are always exceptions though, just got a Platinum for Ghost of Tsushima few months back. Though I think that only happened cause a friend of mine was also playing at the same time, so discussing the things he has done or I have done kept the interest going for much longer.

Today’s game is some more Max Payne 2. I made it all the way through the Apartments today. The latter half when you’re in that big apartment? It was hell. I ran out of pills at the final boss fight and was basically save scumming the entire fight move by move. Maybe Lem was onto something when he asked Max “What the fuck...

Today’s game is Max Payne 2. ever since i started doing a Theme for this month i’ve been wanting to play this because of it’s fall theme (that and the first game in winter). Now that Halloween is over it’s the perfect time for this. I even installed the widescreen fix....

slimerancher,

Oooh, Max Payne!

I played them when they were released, and they were such great games for their time. Don’t remember much about the story though, some dream sequences, and there was some subway in start of the first game I believe, remember trying the slow-mo from different angles there.

Looking forward to play the remakes!

So you have to check them and make sure they arent a double...

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

We all go through time like that. If you like single player games, what helped me was getting a Switch (I had almost quit gaming before that), the ability to play on a handheld which you can pause (put in sleep) anywhere is a godsend. Everyone is different though, but can be worth a try. You can try getting a SteamDeck, and see if that works for you.

At the end of the day, if playing short rounds of Death by Daylight is what you enjoy the most, nothing wrong with just keep doing that.

This is pretty much why I can’t play much PC games either (even though there are some genres I love that work bes on PC). Handheld works best, or sitting on a couch in front of TV.

I love tablets as a good general purpose device, but don’t have much experience with remote play. Just check how well it works with controllers and the latency / lag.

That “Big Grey Guy” is one of the major reason I haven’t tried the game. And well the fact that I don’t like horror, but I am going to blame the Big Grey Guy!
