I think it’s only Nintendo published games that basically never go on sale.

Rabbids is unusual because it’s got Mario in but it’s not by Nintendo.

Their whole policy on never having a sale makes me not want a Switch 2 at all.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown was well received.

Their “AAAA” output is pure slop, but the smaller games can be OK.

That’s one of the many reasons why I never bought it.

Stick a pin in your mouse cable and whizz it round like a compass. Easy.

rtx 3070 which will be getting too old soon for new games

Neither

Guessing there’s a lot of DLSS going into those resolution and framerate specs…

I see DLL Hell is still going strong…

I’m going to contradict myself a little, because Vice City is the better game. It’s got an actual story, a great voice cast, helicopter gunships, and the finest soundtrack of any game ever made.

But it was very much built on GTA3. The mind was already blown. It wasn’t going to happen again.

I’m not sure there can ever even be a “best game ever”, but in any case mine is Grand Theft Auto 3.

Picture the scene. You’ve got your shiny PlayStation 2. You’ve got a bunch of games, but honestly, a lot of it could have been done on the PS1 with worse graphics.

And this bad boy drops, and never stops surprising you with all the absolute chaos you can cause. Not much of a story to go on, but the sheer scale of it was amazing. A whole city of driving, slightly wonky shooting and even flying (a bit). It was a game that just felt like the hardware was designed specifically for that.

We were no longer just playing games. We were living in the future. And we’ve never gone back.

The headsets have (if you can stomach Meta). Thanks to the combines efforts of Nvidia, scalpers, crypto-bros and AI-nerds, the hardware cost has been sailing into the distance and shows no sign of stopping.

It took me a long time to get used to VR locomotion.

I still really can’t handle smooth turning at all, but using VRChat a lot (where the teleport movement is terrible) made me get used to the left stick movement at least which is really all you need.

While I really enjoyed Alyx, it’s very much a game built around it’s own limitations. It’s more of a survival horror game in a way, because of the limits on ammo and deliberately mechanical reloading. There’s no melee at all, so once you’re out of bullets you’re done for.

For all the roughness of Half Life 2 VR Mod, I find myself enjoying it more because it has fewer limitations imposed by the move to VR. It doesn’t always work (and the vehicle sections in particular really push it), but as a mod of a 20 year old game, it’s really good.

Why do people use this when Jellyfin exists?
