I just want more hollow knight with tight gameplay. Gimme more insect metroidvania and I'll be happy to participate. I honestly don't know what the hype is about, it's a good metroidvania, they just have to deliver more of the same. What are people expecting? What hype are we even talking about? It's been a long wait, that's it.
Edit: If they make it a Switch 2 exclusive I'll never buy it out of spite, fuck Nintendo, long live FOSS and Linux gaming.
I think there's an implied causality in the existence of this shadow fleet that fails to acknowledge its existence prior to the invasion of Crimea already. There is a lot of people making a lot of money from enabling this fleet, arrest those and see the fleet crumble.
For everyone chiming in with piracy (which I support): Layden is more calling Nintendo fans "junkies" than advocating for 80$ prices. His message (even in the face of Ryan's LSG push) has always been "first party exclusivity sells consoles".
Uh, newsflash, the Euro appreciated vs RMB and USD to the tune of 10%. GTFO with this "trying times" nonsense. You're increasing the price because there's a massive hole in your accounts thanks to Jim Ryan's regarded chase of live service games. How much did he get as severance and how many consoles do you need to sell for those 50€ to cover that golden parachute?
I think Millenials and zoomers forgot about the oldest, most important axiom of Youtube:
If it's being advertised or sold by Youtubers, it's likely a scam!
Or Microsoft. Not only do you not own games, you can't choose or vote with your wallet anymore if you get into a subscription model, MS will develop whatever costs them less and makes them more and double down on AI slop.
I refuse to pay for placebo when it costs more than actual medicine.
Yours is an absolutely asinine take.
And as a final note, there is no evidence homeopathy has a positive effect globally in the German population that is non inferior to not having it at all.
And as an important tool for those thinking the placebo effect is at all relevant, please keep in mind the design of the study you read and the disclosures (or lack thereof) at the end of said study. We're still reeling from the sugar industry effects on research into nutrition.
If I didn't want to play on console and had a tight budget, I'd look into AMD apus or steam deck, yes, or used if that were an option in the market I were in.
My point was, for the price, you'll be hard pressed to get better perf/visuals out of a game like the guy in the article said. Surprisingly enough, consoles still deliver an impressive presentation. Even more so if Jimbo RyRy hadn't poured over 2bn in developing live service trash instead of core gaming experiences like Returnal, which is likely my game of this gen (together with BG3).
M8, that's the wrong argument, you CANNOT do it for 400€-500€. I get that a PC is much more versatile, but as a turnkey solution, the console or steamdeck are downright unbeatable in value right now. GPUs cost stupid money and the PS5 still holds its own against a 6700XT(7700)/4060ti, plus it has resume play like the deck...
I use a PC (9070XT is a wonderful card) but I'm privileged. If I weren't, I'd be buying a PS5 or a Steamdeck. You can get used PS5 disks for 10-20€, you don't need to pay to play FTP games online and don't need internet to play your used disks. It's overall a far superior option unless your budget is above 1000€ or you have some kind of malformation that only let's you play with KBM.
The PS5+used games or a Steamdeck in case you already have a library on steam are downright the only smart money options nowadays in the EU.
If you have 1000€ to burn, then you can get a pretty good machine with AM4 and RDNA3 for a reasonable price (7800xt are going for not stupid money normally). I'd still wait for the 9060 to get FSR4 and slap bazzite on a HTPC build and call it a day.
This type of PCMR regarded takes is what lets NVIDIA charge 950€ for what should essentially be a 5060 card.
Get a steamdeck instead of a PS5 every day of the week but arguing you can build a PC for the price of a PS5 (now selling as low as 400€) is downright regarded...
