Hey.

I’m Dan. A 35 year old father of two who doesn’t have nearly as much time as he needs to do half the things he wishes he had the time to do.

Nintendo should hire that dude who played the lead in that Passengers movie alongside Jennifer Lawrence.

Doing things in games because it simple felt good. angielski

I’ve been thinking about the PS1 game ‘Driver’ a lot recently. It’s a game I spent a lot of time on during my youth, and whilst I’m sure it doesn’t hold up some 20 years later, it was still a highlight from my ‘gaming youth’....

I’ve tried 3-4 times to get into this game, and I guess it’s just not for me. That doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be really proud of what they’ve managed to turn the game into. It looked pretty…rough 7 years ago but with a bit of patience and a lot of goodwill and hard work they’ve turned it into a success story.

It kind of doesn’t. Me and my brothers will play some Rocket League on a Monday night (assuming our kids are in bed) but aside from that my gaming is exclusively single-player.

Never been a big online gamer, but since having kids that’s basically become a non-starter.

Justin Timberlake must be a consultant on this.

I think the problem they’ve given themselves is that they pushed it as a cheaper alternative to the X whilst also maintaining that it’ll be able to play the same games.

How do they go about messaging that can’t be the case going forward without pissing off those that spent the money on the S in the first place.

Right but you’re probably a little more clued up to this sort of stuff than the average consumer who’s seen the marketing and thought ‘oh lovely, I don’t need a disk drive’ in this thing.

Both my brothers own the S. It’s an incredible little machine, but imo they screwed the proverbial pooch when they pushed this as a 1080p alternative to the more powerful Series X.

Only takes one though. As soon as someone looking at buying a console sees there’s a chance they’ll miss out, they’ll potentially make the decision to go with the Sony machine instead.

Microsoft already has an exclusive issue, this isn’t doing anything but compounding that issue.

I feel like if they were going to release a slim version of the 5 then they’d almost certainly ditch the wings.

What if Chuck E Cheese was in your bedroom and it was marketed to make you feel like you were missing out if you didn’t have the thing your friend’s had, but you can’t buy the thing, oh no that’s too easy. We’ll let you buy the chance to own the thing.

Agreed it’s deeply cynical on their part…but the sad thing is that people will happily hand over their money for it.

Most emotional moments in games? (SPOILERS)

Just for the heads up, this thread will probably have a lot of spoilers. I’m gonna try to go vague on spoilers for anybody that hasn’t played Hotline Miami 2. If you’ve played the game, you’ll probably know what I mean, but I’m going to say some purposefully esoteric shit to keep it out of full spoiler territory....

I’ll throw out the final twenty minutes of Abzu. It’s not one specific moment, more a combination of things that come together to make a truly incredible sequence that sees you doing things inside the game that you hadn’t previously done, alongside some truly incredible visuals and music, it’s really incredibly moving.

I’m probably not the target demo for Nintendo, but I won’t lie…the Switch feels very long in the tooth at this point.

Great concept, great delivery, but it’s showing its age and it’s time for an upgrade at the very least.

The Forgotten City definitely got it’s due last year. It was on an awful lot of people’s GOTY lists. Which was warranted, because it’s really really solid.

Agreed. It gets to the point where if anything, it’s inhibitive to growth because people just zip right on past it before ultimately unsubscribing.
