Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 13th)

Cult of the Lamb has some performance issues, and several soft lock bugs that can halt progression. I've had to restart my entire game once and scared at least twice more that I may have to restart again. However all this said I am absolutely enjoying the game and once patched it may become a contender for my game of the year

You assume I've never touched the Steam Deck. My best friend owns the 512 gb model and I have had time with it. I think they should have done away with the two giant touch pads and moved the joysticks down, made the buttons bigger. For something that large to have such a small dpad and buttons is weird. I bought all my games digitally through the Nintendo eShop because I don't need the prospect of being able to trade them in because I can afford my favorite hobby. Also though I have a gaming PC and play some PC games there hasn't been a solid PC exclusive I care about since maybe Half Life Alyx. The Steam Decks premium glass screen on the 512 gb model looks like hot trash compared to the OLED screen of the newest Switch

Steam has 134 million active members according to Steam. That being said their top player count game is Counter Strike Go with 918k active players.

So that means nothing when the most played Steam game came out in 2012. I've always said when games that start on PC want to make real money they get ported to consoles. However games now are coming out on consoles first and eventually they may come to PC.

Re: Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion Is Apparently Much More Than A Remaster, But Not A "Complete Remake"

Probably why the PSP failed, there was 82 million PSPs sold but one of it's best selling games only sold 2.1 million copies. Not a high attach rate, this means 1 out of every 40 PSP owners bought the game. If they simply did a quick port of this game it would be time and money still spent but for some reason they are doing a whole lot more for a game that in the grand scope of things didn't sell very well. Again the team wasting their money and time on this should be moved to the FF7 Remake or FF16 team to help either of them not take a million years to complete these much larger games

You didn't I'm simply saying by Valve making a slightly better wheel 7 years into the Switch seems foolish since Nintendo is rounding the bend to make a successor.

Also the reason the Valve Steam Deck will also never see Switch console sells numbers is because ultimately a majority of gamers don't want to dink with PC settings, or PCs in general and like to either buy games on the eShop (the percentage that do this far outweighs physical purchases) or buy a cart and stick it in their system.
