Lower price does not automatically equate to less profits.
Lower price usually means more sales. More sales means more profit.
Things have an optimal market price at which they’d make the most profit, and it’s possible they did some calculations and decided $20 was it for this game.
Saw this on some other sites. I was wondering why I didnt see too much development by 3rd parties for switch 2 specifically. There are messages online to use Switch 1 ATM because the dev kits are not available.
I don’t think I’d say it’s my favorite game or anything, but if I had to choose one single game, and I can only play that for rest of my life, it would be Rimworld
Ahhh… I was playing them in chronological, but starting with Cold Steel. The events in Crossbell happen during the first couple Cold Steel game, and it’s interesting to read about it in the newspaper, and hear people mention rumors about it.
Haven’t finished Cold Steel 3 yet, and I’ll probably play the Trails in the Sky remakes
Yeah I’m aware of the game, but there was no fucking way I’m going to get that. It’s just common courtesy to spell an acronym out in parentheses the first time you use it. Pay attention next time you read an article on a news site that includes acronyms.
I didn’t think I was being passive aggressive, but I guess I was kind of annoyed so maybe it came through in the comment.
The thing about googling acronyms is that sometimes there are more than one. And yeah, I probably could have used context to figure out which one you meant, but I’m… just not going to do all that lol
I recently started getting some CP2077 books (World of, Guide, comics collection) and discovered I really enjoy having nice, high-quality physical media that expand on my favorite worlds. I started poking around my favorite series and already have my eye on Hyrule Historia, the Dishonored art book, the Dark Horse MGS I-IV art...
I was just thinking recently about how amazing this channel is. They provide such a valuable service, and the space is so much better off with them as a part of it.
The analogy makes a lot of sense to me. Once you have an "easy button", it's hard to not use it. It's sort of like when you're at work and see the "quick workaround" effectively become the standard process....
That was vintage copy protection. They would print the answers and stuff in the back of the manual, so you could only start the game (or get past a certain point), if you have a legitimate copy of the game (or just a copy of the manual lol).
There were all sorts of creative copy protection schemes prior to DRM.
I dunno, I feel like I wouldn’t use a walkthrough on souls like games until the second play through. Part of the fun is the discovery, and its fine if you miss shit the first time.
Very. I would recommend only playing it on controller. And it runs pretty well on Steam Deck. There’s an fps unlocker/resolution fix that makes it play better, but not necessary.
A lot of people will say it’s harder than other souls games, but it’s really just different. The combat is amazing once you get the timing down. It can feel like a rhythm game at times when you’re in the zone. And the feeling you get when you beat a difficult boss is second to none.
Look, it’s like my favorite game ever, but it’s pretty hard and it’s not for everyone. I hope you enjoy it, but the game only ever seems to go down to $30, so I don’t want someone to waste money on a game they don’t like on account of me.
I guess it can refund it in Steam, though I’m not sure if 2 hours is enough time for it to gel. I’ve seen people say that the early boss, “Genichiro Ashina” is the first real test, and indication of what’s to come. That one will be tough, but it’s all about learning the attack patterns.
Or the third option: someone enjoys games differently than you.
I rage quit the final boss of Sekiro (Sword Saint Isshin) after hours of trying, on and off, for days. Came back after a break of a couple of days, and beat him on the first try. The feeling was unmatched. I felt like a god lol
The XBone controller is more comfortable, but I really like the analog/adaptive triggers on the DualSense. That gives it the edge imo. The center button/pad can also be cool if used correctly.
Thirty years from now it will be possible to access all the world’s knowledge and communicate securely with anyone willing to listen, all without paying a cent to greedy ISPs or having your traffic monitored by government agents.
If I was reading a list of “games that should be in a museum,” and the author mentioned fucking DLSS as being an important factor, I would have exited the page immediately.
