So if this evil bat virus is affecting everything, why haven't ALL games being delayed?

FF7 is coming out in a month, and they've said nothing of a delay. In fact the recent trailers reiterated the release date.

It's dangerous to go alone! Stay at home.

Next week would be a great week for a Direct ^^. I'm actually feeling it.

I never drive faster than I can see. Besides, it's all in the reflexes.

Unless Nintendo reveals they have a Pro Switch on the way and a price drop, I could care less about another Direct. The Switch is too outdated at this point to care about any game that comes.

@MrAfrika eh I'll have to respectfully disagree with you on that. Thats pretty much all I care about is what games are coming next.

@NintendoByNature Everyone knows whats coming next. Metroid, Breath of the Wild 2 annnnd thats it. Those aren't coming until the end of the year, and the year just began! Also the new systems are coming out.

@MrAfrika Lol @ Metroid and BotW2 coming this year. It's probably Bayonetta 3, NMH 3, Bravely Default II and a few titles that haven't even been announced yet. I'm kind of betting on Pikmin showing up finally tbh? Not sure what the other's will be. Though claiming the system is outdated when it's... y'know... based on technology that was cutting edge 4 years ago is pretty silly tbh. Guessing you're a new troll account? Seems like we get one every week.

@link3710 The Switch was cutting edge 3 years ago? my phone had a better screen then the Switch and could render better graphics. Im not a troll account, I am just being honest. A system with a 720p screen was hardly "cutting edge" in 2017.

@MrAfrika it's cutting edge for $300 for sure. Unless you want to point to me a machine that can run games better that won't throttle itself to death after 30 minutes, and still priced 300 usd

@MrAfrika I don't believe botw2 is coming this year, but i really hope it does. Mp4 is for sure not coming this year. If it does, feel free to call me out then. Bayo3 is more than likely coming this year of not early 2021.

Either way, That's why we all want a direct. To know what's In the pipeline outside of those.

@MrAfrika You are
A: Stating things that are demonstrably false to invoke controversy
B: Immediately after joining flooding the forum designed to upset rather than invoke discussion
C: Drawing false conclusions from incomplete data specifically to prove your point.

As for the screen, no duh the screen isn't cutting edge. Though when it comes to game systems, it's the best there's ever been, so there is that. I'm talking about the internals, aka the GPU in particular. What good would a 1080p screen have done when mobile chipsets in the $300 range can't run games at that resolution? Sure if you spent $1000, you could possibly get something that would do better, but for the price and time the technology inside was just past cutting edge, and was specifically picked to balance around the weakest components.

@darkfenrir
Sure. look no further than your current PC which can emulate Wii U games flawlessly right now. Zelda and Mario Kart 8 are the only games anyone buys a Switch for really.

@MrAfrika my laptop is 2000+ usd at the time of buying 3.5 years ago. It has since halved but that's still a lot of money compared to switch. Yes it's more worth in general, but for 300 usd? Switch works far better as a gaming machine

Edit: forget to add that this bloody laptop can't even play current AAA games on anything higher than Low, so I doubt it can run citra/whatever is it for wii u just fine. Or for ps3/4

@link3710
"Its the best screen a gaming system has ever seen" isn't saying much when there is something with a better screen already in your pocket. Right now WiiU games can run flawlessly on tablets and PC's, if you enjoy multitasking and not lugging around a Switch that will power down after only 3 hours of play, a couple hundred dollars and not being able to play Smash is pretty reasonable instead of being nailed down to a underpowered system.

@darkfenrir Well i don't know what computer you bought for $2,000 that can't run AAA games today but I have no problems with my 2 year old $1,000 laptop.

MrAfrika

@MrAfrika Asus ROG something, 1050Ti. Can't even run FFXV on anything higher than Low (and have to throttle it to 30fps)

But I don't want to lug my laptop around anyway... I can't play my laptop on bed comfortably while I can do it with Switch

@Dezzy Yeah, I am, but we don't have annual flu shots for everyone over here. And frankly, I don't see why we would. It's quite unnecessary IMO.

@Octane

It's a preventative measure. Fewer hospitalizations/serious cases/deaths with vaccines. Not that hard to understsand, really.

@Octane The flu virus mutates very frequently so that the vaccine that works for this year's strain might not work for next year's strain. It's not really required to get one (unless you work somewhere in the healthcare field like in a hospital or clinic), but it's highly recommended so you don't get sick from the flu.

@Dezzy Well, I mean... FF7R was most likely in development/production for almost 5+ years at this point, given that the game was announced 5 years ago. COVID-19 wasn't really a thing back then and not even up until recently, so I'm pretty sure Square Enix would have figured out the logistics for distributing the game (or not, seeing as they made the fascinating decision to "episodize" the game) before the current outbreak.

God first.

@k8sMum @Vee_Flames For risk groups I agree, but that's far from everyone, most people are healthy. We don't have a higher mortality rate of seasonal flu cases because of the lack of annual shots. Additionally, there hasn't been evidence that it even helps in healthy adults (source). So it seems a bit pointless to me, and a waste of resources since it doesn't really help.

But I'm also still baffled by the fact that you get completely sedated in some countries when they pull a tooth

@Octane Honestly, the vaccine isn't important for protecting healthy adults. The main reason to give it to everyone is herd immunity. There are plenty of people who can't get the vaccine for one reason or another (most notably immune deficiencies). But by having a certain percentage of the population with an immunity, the virus won't be able to transmit that easily, and it protects those people.

Edit: source https://www.ovg.ox.ac.uk/news/herd-immunity-how-does-it-work

So yeah, getting the vaccine as a healthy adult isn't for yourself really. Instead, it protects the young, sick and elderly. It's especially important for people like teachers, hospital workers, and anyone else who interacts with an at-risk population to be vaccinated for that reason.
