@BigDong420 That's because their journalist, they play games as their job, we play them as a form of entertainment. This article is just a way for them to feel good about not finishing every game they play. Plain and simple - Their sellouts.
@LinkSword Well considering how harsh Nintendo is with it's IP's it's no surprise. Obviously this would be an extreme and wouldn't happen, however based upon Nintendo's C&D orders some idiots would actually take this seriously.
Moral of the story: support people who support communities. Otherwise face the wrath of the justice's system.
Anybody with half a brain can see what game is good just by googling it. This just seems like a ploy by nintendo to raise their game prices. Nintendo really is going the way of apple products, Over priced old hardware with expensive apps.
I'm gonna wait, I do want a handheld PC like the switch, so that I can play my steam games anywhere, however I would want Google play/Apple store integrated with it for apps/music and enough power to at least run some PS4 ported games.
@Kriven You have No way to back that up, Casual gamers DON'T play their consoles, so their would be no wear or tear, and can have their consoles longer then a Hardcore gamer. Pressing the same button over and over again eventually causes issues with controls - Look at nintendo drift.
@BulbasaurusRex Well I guess I'm not a casual gamer as some people..... Wear and tear has nothing to do with stupidity, or are you just so full of yourself.
Anyways I'm not paying double or sometimes 3 times for 1 system just to play a hand full of games that you cannot get on PC.
That's an interesting list, my main take is at this point calling a multiplayer game as not your main game to play? I think that's where the collection problem starts.
People who play large single player games only to quit them for multiplayer games because of limited access to servers(be it 2 -10 years) really shows the shift in gaming. Large single player games really have the end value, but by the time your abe to even make a dent with it playing multiplayer, a new version of that large single player game comes out, along side another multiplayer game.
My shift in gaming has real influence over multiplayer games, be it GTA/Borderlands/Monster Hunter, and even racing games, and because of that I've started to steer away from large single player games like witcher, and going for indie games like the steamworld series or older games I played in the past. That way I don't spend that much money on gaming and I can complete a game in between multiplayer games.
Another reason I like steam, even though nintendo does have something for refunds, you don't need to buy something on sale and keep it because of its lower value due to switch game prices, you can just return it because games are cheaper on steam, and not have a crowded library of games you'll never play.
@BulbasaurusRex Unless you have a Huge collection of consoles in your basement, your not really gonna keep your old consoles, between breaking from extended use or just life. The only 2 consoles I have left over the past decade is my vita and my 3ds, both of which have controller issues (Vita has drift on the right side, and 3ds L/R buttons are broken) With steam all you need is a laptop and any controller to play any of those games, for way cheaper/easier then it is to find an old console.
I like buying digital because I know I don't have to search for the game that I want to play, however the only place that is best to actually buy digital games from is on PC. Consoles force you to buy the game multiple times depending on the system(on brand) that you want to play it on, While steam/gog you can access it anywhere/anytime.
While I prefer to play online games on console(Less cheaters/No KB&M) once steam comes up with an option to only allow gamepad players to play with other gamepad players and not the latter, then console gaming(for me) will be the thing of the past.
Well it seems like a great time to start getting our gaming info through the radio, that or just go completely retro. These companies ask for our info when playing their games(looking at you EA/Bethesda) just for hackers to get that treasure trove of information they can sell.
Playing this update on PC(have it on steam) So far 70+ hours on 1.5 - started from beach farm to other new stuff.... I think I have maybe another 100 hours to get everything(if I'm lucky)
If your holding out for the new update and want to use it on your old farm, get your community center done before update.
@GamerDad66 I can't see it, he could have maybe 7 years left(if he really wants to be there) but I don't see him staying in that position any longer than that.
@Kimyonaakuma lol, PC/Mobile has hackers, cheats and network issues. If i want to play a game with cheats on a nintendo console(if its crossplat) I will play goldeneye.
NFS is not to bad a of remaster, HOWEVER last time I played this game It didn't require me to give my Name/Dob/ and email just so I can play online. EA takes your money then sells your data.
@YoshiAngemon I have to kinda agree, nintendo about 10 years ago was a bit better than it is today. The only game I can think of(that I actually want for this system now) is Monster Hunter, once that comes out next year, I'll keep that game in my system, and start looking into more PC related gaming. If monster hunter rise gets a PC release, I'll probably look at selling my switch.
I like my switch(for portability) and thats about it. The moment a switch style system comes out for PC, I'm gonna abandon ship. Everything is over priced, limited edition, or outdated, scaplers just add to a mixture that's bad enough.
@status-204 That depends on the person. Some people like owning and replaying games, while others will trade in that game for another one, or updated version. That gamepass would suit them the most.
Me personally I used to worry about owning my games, and I still do buy them. However unless you have complete access to your library(physical or on steam) once the generation gets too old you could possibly lose access to those games.
@Magician Yeah no... on steam we fought for a proper version of the game, and we got it. I woukd rather that port then those garbage UI's from the IOS version.
@WaxxyOne I guess you don't shop at grocery stores, that or you think your food is grown/processed and graded there?
Grocery stores have a mark up so high that it makes Apple's store's 30% look like small potatoes in comparison.
They made an agreement to get their product on a smart phone(for whatever reason) and apple provides the service to distribute and market it. If fortnite wants MTX in their game they have to pay the price for using that service/being scummy.
If you don't see it now, then there is no discussing it further.
This is about greed on both sides, Epic is just using social media (and the flocks of stupid people) to attack another company, because they can't maximize on their V-bucks sales.
Anybody stupid enough to get involved should sit and think how they can use themselves as a tool (as they are) in order to better humanity... that or jump off a bridge.
My First experience with goldeneye actually sucked, I rentef it at our now defunted Midnight Video, when I got it home I couldn't see anything on the T.V screen as it was too dark (I was a kid and knew nothing of contrast) I ended up bringing it back thinking it was made like that and never thought of it.
About 8 months later I was over at a friends house where their family played nothing but goldeneye, I remember their fathet yelling "Nobody plays oddjob" after playing and experiencing that, I ended up getting it for christmas and never stopped tilk prefect dark came out.
