Re: Talking Point: Metroid Prime 4 And The Burden Of Being 'Good Enough'

Emacster

I managed to pick up the game for $40 because of GameStop. With all the bad press around the game I wouldn’t have paid $70 for it. Upon playing it I found it to be…good! Not great. But good. And it’s the first game I sat down to 100% in a while because it felt manageable. 16 hours 100%. So to me it I’m learning more and more to ignore the online ranting. I’d say the 78 on metacritic is a good score. And it’s not a bad thing. Is the game genre changing? No. Was it good. Yeah. Was it worth $70. That’s a deeper topic.

Re: Surprise! Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade's Free Switch 2 Demo Is Now Live

Just picked up 4 switch 2 games and 1 switch 1 game in GameStop’s latest sale. All 4 switch 2 games are key card games. I also picked up a 512GB Microsd express card which made a massive difference. I think the issue going forward is going to be more of making the memory less expensive more so than the key cards. And I fully agree. Every other platform requires games be downloaded. I also find it funny how people are freaking out about game size. This game is 100GB on steam. It’s just the way of the world at this point.

Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Director Highlights The Speed Problem With Switch 2 Game Cards

Honestly with 2 portable gaming consoles, a switch 2 and a ROG ally X, I’m really starting to prefer digital in general. My switch 2 case only carries 9 cards. So I’m constantly having to decide which games I want to take with me. The rest of my physical games sit on my desk at home. Those games would more likely get played if they were digitally on my system.

Re: Nintendo Is "Acting To Protect The Industry" With Switch 2 Game Key Cards, Says Ex-Capcom Composer

So for me personally I understand physical media for preservation is critical. Also having an electronic back up is critical.

But honestly the older I get the more I like digital. I have had more than one occasion where I’ve been on a trip and really wanted to play a certain game but crap I forgot to pack it.

I have a ROG ALLY X and have 2.5TB of games on it. (Which by the way no one in the steam deck crowd is complaining about the lack of physical media). I have a 256GB express card in my switch 2. And honestly. I’m getting tired of taking games in and out. Being able to just click on a game and play it is super convenient. I will likely never buy key cards and just purchase a digital copy instead.

Some day I will look back and be glad I have a decent sized library of physical switch/2 games but right now I’m happy to have a digital library. I will still get 1st party Nintendo games physical but other than that I’m ok with digital.

I get that digital can be taken away and that should change but otherwise I’m happy with my set up.
