Discord’s fine now but it sure won’t be in 5 years. Companies going public like this always end badly

This drama doesn’t deserve to be the top post here. Let those morons have their miserable lives while the rest of the world enjoys a fun video game

Plastic cases, discs, etc are expensive and degrade over time. Consoles will break down. 50 years from now there’ll be too much history to keep making copies of everything worth saving. If we do want a video game preservation law, make it digital.

Emulation and piracy should be legal for games older than ~20 years, or if the parent company goes under. Online games should be required to make an offline mode patch before shutting down.

As a related example, my parents have a bunch of bookshelves packed with everything they bought over the years. And as a kid I never touched any of it because the books had become all gross and yellowed. Physical game archives will last a couple decades longer but in the end it’ll be the same result.

Well yeah used games are always cheaper. These were $60 $50 new

When games were expecting to be rentals, the first few levels would be front loaded with the best that the game had to offer, and then later levels would be more phoned in

Still happens today. First impressions matter, budgets are finite, and sometimes reviewers only play the first few parts.

Terra Battle 1, created by the OG final fantasy devs. Best Uematsu soundtrack of that decade and one of the best mobile gachas ever. RIP

Another one?

Makes sense, but if it’s only $10 it should just be free. $10 isn’t worth the bad PR and they should want this tour thing in as many hands as possible.

It’s not even out yet and they redesigned the entire stick. Can we stop whining about every little detail here, we’ll find out how they perform in 2 months

“for all ages” and “for kids” are two different things. They don’t make kids games except for some of the yoshi platformers and even those are still playable

Everything I want was announced for “sometime in 2025”, not launch day. It looks good though.

Am I the only one who doesn’t care about this? We’ll wait for the 33% nintendo sales and fill the rest of the year with 3rd party 80% sales like always

FFXIV, but this doesn’t mean much because it’s dependent on what genres you like.

Most historically significant? Ultima 4, Wizardry 1, Pool of Radiance, Mario 1, Metroid 1, FF4, Chrono Trigger, FF7, Mario 64, Zelda OoT, Counterstrike, Starcraft, Diablo 1, WoW, Cave Story, World of Goo, Minecraft, Skyrim, Dark Souls, Zelda BotW

It’s preserving history!

What a shitty title. Consoles will be happy to get this

Trog

Good AI art should be completely invisible, like when romcom movies with no visible CGI are actually changing the entire sky in certain scenes. People were able to spot the flaws here instantly.

Or if you’re a 1 man studio living in their parent’s basement, go nuts with it. This is a gigantic company that could afford to hire humans.

People don’t get bored of playing/watching the same sports their whole lives

I got that bundle at 92% off and it took me 2 years to finish. It was awesome

I love SR 3 and 4. But with SR2022 costing twice as much as FF16 it makes sense why it had to be this way
