@clvr "you seem to not understand that the myth of absolute freedom the US are built upon is just that, a myth." Myth or not does not matter - you will not be sent to labor camp for jokes about the president or government in US. Also, to prevent misunderstanding - I'm in Europe, but was born in USSR, so I know the difference.
@JR150 yeah, right, we know how they enforce their policies that don't involve freedom restrictions:
"One seller of CFC-11 estimated that 70% of China's domestic sales used the illegal gas. The reason is quite simple - CFC-11 is better quality and much cheaper than the alternatives.
The authorities have banned CFC-11 but enforcement of the regulation is poor.
"We were absolutely gobsmacked to find that companies very openly confirmed using CFC-11 while acknowledging it was illegal," Avipsa Mahapatra from EIA told BBC News."
Also, CCP encourages TCM, which leads to poaching of endangered species and is the first reason we've got C-19. So, good luck believing.
@InJeffable "When it comes to the PS5, I don't expect Sony to release any cross-platform first party exclusives." - I think "cross-platform" and "exclusives" are mutually exclusive
@Steelhead yeah, i still have several games that i never even started but i still play warframe, because it has so much to offer and i haven't got bored yet.
1 - Warframe - the most played game on my switch
2 - Doom 2016 (may be) - just re-downloaded it, because despite my expectations never got to finish it on my PC and never will (haven't played on PC for about a year now)
3 - Warframe - it's double affinity weekend after all
brilliant. it's a shame doom eternal is not on the switch yet, but i'm going to wait. meanwhile i'm downloading doom 2016 to actually finish it - i thought it runs and looks better on pc, so i'll play it there - never got to play anything on pc since i've got my switch, not only doom
@Mince don't play free-to-play games if you don't like spending money. as for me - i'm ok with spending some money on in-game purchases if i really like a game (you know, developers, designers and all other people involved should be rewarded for entertaining you). also i will never cheat in a game i don't like - it's like cheating in casino and then try to write it off as "because it's gambling it's ok".
@HeyItsFlapjack it's a straight port of "special edition" from pc or other consoles. bought it on pc long time ago but could not play it because of the issues with xbox controller. i think i finished the original dmc3 twice: for dante and for vergil. already purchased it today
there will be no switch pro, like there wasn't in 2019. nintendo is not competing with sony or microsoft, like it wasn't with gameboy and ds (sony tried to compete with nintendo and we all know how "well" it went). most of the people had forgoten, that nintendo started with handheld games (game&watch), than they moved into home console market when others crashed it in us (in europe nintendo had hard time competing with pc gaming and sega). when new players emerged in home console market (sony and microsoft) nintendo lost it's position and went back to where they started and excelled - handheld gaming. who would by switch pro for $400 if new xbox and playstations cost the same and are more "pro"? i'd buy switch pro even for $1000 just because i can and i spend this much about twice a year on phones (don't like cases and screen protectors but drop phones a lot), but who else will?
@Nintyfan "Not really. I have 2 day 1 models, one of which is frequently used by kids, and have absolutely zero Joycon drift." - if you don't encounter any issues does not mean no one has them - you are just lucky. for example: i had no issues with windows phone, windows 8 and microsoft edge web browser (original) - we all know how well it played out
@60frames-please, you are mistaken, because for "performance mode" games use reduced textures, lightning and effects along with reduced resolution to jump from 30fps to 60fps. I'm glad this game has a very stable fps, even if it's 30 - don't like games that has variable fps and jump +/-10 or more frames. at least here we have smooth "cinematic" experience.
bought it on day one and already played for 2 evenings. If you like to hear more female voices, than do not make my mistake and play as the sister. your character is not speaking in this game at all and your tween does a lot. also as i can tell your tween has the same lines no matter who it is. so i started a new game with the brother after the first file.
@60frames-please it worked for me with sniper elite 2 - played much smoother on tv in 720p. games actually have 2 presets but they are automatic. selecting 720p should not disable the boost switch's cpu gets from docking mode.
I never use d-pad for movement even in platformers (not a fan of fighting games) and will never exchange dock mode for d-pad. I'm not sure why they removed dock support. If they wanted to make it cheaper, they could make it an optional buy. I never disconnect joy-cons from my switch, because I have a pro controller and couple of xbox controllers with 8bitdo bluetooth adapter to play on TV.
I'm the one, because I've decided to buy switch when I saw it has Doom and Wolfenstein. Breath of the Wild is the only Nintendo game I have in my library of 50+ games and not because I'm a Zelda fan but because I like open world games. I bought Doom on Switch but continued to play it on Steam for some time, because Doom on switch runs 30fps and on my laptop it runs 60fps with better graphics. Haven't gone too far though because my xbox elite controller died and I'm waiting for the new one to come out this November. Meanwhile playing lot's of indie stuff on my Switch.

@InJeffable @the_beaver Oh, I'm sorry, I haven't thought that PS4 and PS5 were different platforms since both are just custom PCs with AMD hardware.

Re: Bethesda's Pete Hines Says "It's Clear" The Studio Is Bringing New Players To Switch
