Gaming is becoming less and less accessible and more and more of a luxury.
Lots of people do their gaming on their phone or PC. And on the subject of phones, look at the top-spec models: they cost thousands, because some people have the disposable income to burn. There are still plenty of affordable options available if you don’t fixate on having the latest best everything.
Interestingly I’d say the complete opposite: BotW was my fave and I feel I could replay it in quite a different style (e.g. trying to beat it without any dungeons, trying to 100% it), whereas the others are all very linear and my only option is to play it again in the same way.
(Obviously I don’t need to pay any additional money to do either though!)
Pretty soon you won’t be able to buy a Switch
A new one, but pretty soon the market will be flooded with second hand switches
ReactOS. Or TempleOS if you’re feeling holy.
We’d get a pretty good game format OS—if the players could agree to come together—and then licence that out. Just like we do with Blu-ray, just like we do with the compact disk—and let people compete on content.
I know this is the most Lemmy comment it’s possible to make, but oh, if only there were an OS that already exists that you could run games on and that didn’t even need licencing out!
I’d love this comment to be a sticky post on every new thing announcement. Trouble with us humans is we like to really get into a thing that’s completely out of our control, and then we get very upset when it goes in a direction we don’t like. Being able to take a step back and say “ah well, guess that’s not for me anymore” is much better for your own mental health than getting angry at consumerism.
I think putting something like (Dunky) in the title would probably have helped
Ah hell city-builder/management game x evil god game hybrid, my favourite genre of game
I know as much as you do
If it didn’t say it at the start I think I’d still have recognised this as an Edmund McMillan game pretty soon
Apologies if I’m coming off too grumpy, I’ve just seen a hundred similar comments over the last 24 hours from people outraged that a company known for unfriendly practices in an industry full of other companies known for unfriendly business practices have continued doing the same unfriendly business practices that are already happening everywhere.
Fair point, but I still can’t imagine they’ll be double that price for long. The only GBP price I’ve seen for a Switch 2 game is the MKW bundle which is only £30 more than the console on its own.
Same as the current Switch online, Microsoft’s game pass, and whatever Sony offers then?
Aren’t consoles and their new game always ridiculously expensive on launch? I know Nintendo stuff often doesn’t drop in price that much but I’d be surprised if they stay this expensive for long. Plenty of other games to play in the meantime!
Not sure if I like the 3D look, definitely keen to see more though
Interesting, does that mean there is just one primary account and to be part of a family group with it you essentially can’t have your own account or purchases?
Maybe get the cheapest micro sd card or usb drive you can find and install it on there? You could probably double your storage size for a couple of euros!
That’s probably because it’s a PC game that was ported to phones!
I think you can do both of those with BotW too
