That's concerning. As much as i want physical media, with so many day 1 patches needed, what's the point? Later physical carts won't have the day 1 patch on it. And if it's a game breaking bug that the patch fixes, you'll never be able to play pre-patch.
Im indifferent. It's not my place. I don't know the going-ons behind the scenes, etc. Was she pleasant to work with? A diva? Asking too much? Given too little? Etc. That's something they need to work out.
@ChronoTimeEgg This reads like, "the known issues with the dbrand case hasn't affected me. Therefore it doesn't exist." Not even a mention, or "your mileage may vary." Just a whole endorsement of an admitted faulty product.
An ai article I read said that given a certain situation, the ai would sacrifice a human for self preservation. Another one I read about had a guy "trapped" an ai in a rudimentary board. When that ai escapes that'll be where skynet starts.
Digital series x sold 34. I wonder what those people were thinking. Did they have everything else already? So they could game with family/friends? Expats living overseas? In all honesty, I'm intrigued.
Love this game. Have it on pc, series x. Guess I'll triple dip on switch 2. How does it compare to the steam deck and other handhelds running cp2077 in a side by side by side by...?
After reading about emails being sent out for canceled pre-orders I tentatively opened my email, daily, in dread of that email. Today I checked and there was an email from Walmart. I opened it and it said, "make sure your address is correct. Expected delivery date June 7th." BEETHOVEN'S SYMPHONY NO. 9 BLARES!!
Could you imagine being a parent "not in the know" trying to get a switch 2 for a child's birthday? Sold out everywhere, for months maybe; outrageous prices from scalpers.
The release is so close. Although my wait is longer, the 9th, it's still close. Nothing so far interests me from the launch lineup. Looking forward to totk playthrough.
Is it gonna be a "No death" run? Is the protagonist gonna die, a lot? Will it go through the game's story beats or forge it's own path? Will it integrate all side stories, a few? And which ones? Which ending will be canon? I hope it turns out well. Maybe an anthology. A bunch of stories set in the Lands Between. I don't know, just a big hill to climb and expectations to meet.
First, the entirety of witcher 3 on a switch cart. Now, the entirety of cyberpunk 2077?? Cdpr has some wizards over in their nintendo porting department.
Playing a triple A game like botw outside of my home was revolutionary. Before that I was relegated to emulators on my phone. A defining moment in gaming history considering all the copycats to come out since, I feel.
@Koffeeking0407 right? I look at the deck as a companion piece to pc. Like the portal is to the ps5. But the deck being way better with everything being native.
Maybe? If the switch 2 absolutely makes the switch redundant, then I'll give it away to someone. Oddly enough, I haven't done that with the xbone or ps4...might still serve a purpose?

Re: Level-5 CEO Sees AI As 'Tool For Communication And Efficiency Improvement'
On the lighter side of ai:
An ai article I read said that given a certain situation, the ai would sacrifice a human for self preservation. Another one I read about had a guy "trapped" an ai in a rudimentary board. When that ai escapes that'll be where skynet starts.
