The funny thing about this take is making and distributing a game has never been cheaper, just cos the cost of games hadn't gone up in price doesn't mean companies were doing this out of charity... Also games have gone up in price indirectly with dlc, season passes, battle passes, cosmetics, lootboxes.

Damb the game companies are so kind and nice to us that must be why they're raking in more cash than ever before!

By the looks of things nobody except ultimate goobers hold this take anymore fortunately

On one hand they do seem to be taking extra DRM steps this time with the cartridges only containing a download key.

On the other hand Nintendo also tend to make really trivial mistakes that blow their consoles wide open so my money is on some remote code execution via the stupid webcam accessory.

Still not as bad as Sony and 3 generations of browser exploits in a row. Or tony hawks games

The switch gets a lot of odd hate for being "underpowered" i actually saw a thread where people stated that it was weaker than a ps2 like bruh. And no it wasn't a joke it was entirely serious over metal gear solid ports to switch which were definitely not the fault of konami being useless shits. Especially considering the vita ran the games better

My dreams. Smashed to pieces. I don't like fromsoft multiplayer cos their network code and anticheat is shit. If they're pivoting into more multiplayer centered games this needs to be flawless

So I have always been a nerd for shiny games since the 90s and always sought out the latest hardware to look at shiny graphics. The move to ray tracing however for quite a while really disappointed me until this very game. The implementation of even path tracing in cyberpunk is just not that good and whatever unreal 5 is doing looks like noisy horeshit.

This game is the only time I've seen all of the last 6 years of developments come together into one coherent product that actually feels like a step up from what we had before.

I don't have HDR but it represents fine on my screen but the screenshots look a bit darker for some reason.

PC performance always has overhead due to targeting very broad combinations of systems. i can't think of a single time console performance has had parity with PC performance.

 

Just a little. A small amount.

Indiana jones game is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen and the implementation of this fad tech is actually impeccable

The height of RTS 90s early 2000s... I played more or less every RTS game made because it was my favourite genre. May it rest in peace. Thanks blizzard for killing it permanently

Indiana Jones game and Atomfall. Both quite enjoyable exploration games
