Nintendo will always have my utmost respect because they have stuck with the

1. Pay $70 for game

2. Get game 

3. Play game, have fun

model 

While every other publisher has some insane scheme to extract as much capital out of gamers as possible with: Early Access, Premium Edition, Ultra Premium Edition, Season Pass, Battle Pass, Games as a Service, GamePass rental, 4 tiers of PSN, etc. etc.

How many layers of AAAA Ubislop gaming would you like? 

Why is he black? Don’t all the black/white weeb-cows want to play as a Japanese samurai? 

Today is the first day I heard of Foamstars

No games 

Also everything is 30% more expensive than it was 3 years ago. Non-essential crap like video games are getting shelved. $500 console? $70 games? Just buy a Chinese emulator and play thousands of roms for free and probably have more fun than whatever AAAA slop they’re putting out these days. 

You can get it this month on Humble Choice this month for $13. Activate Players to the moon this weekend.  

The backlash is much more significant than M$ expected.  

Their reputation is now that they hate gamers and passionate game developers. 

How much are they gonna have to spend to figure out the right move with COD on GamePass. It seems like a lose-lose situation. 

This will be a weird one. Is it really just going to be a Switch with better specs? Nintendo has wanted to do something “new” with every console for a long time now (ds, wii, wiiu, 3ds, switch). I always kind of looked forward to the new gimmick. 
 

Maybe include game streaming so we can get WiiU style engagement. Or asymmetric gameplay where some players use the screen while others play on the TV. 

The name will be interesting. Nintendo has never done a “2” console. Super Nintendo Switch seems like the front runner. 

Dude knew he was harmed by the vaccine and still went on TV every night and spewed all that shit about the so called “unvaccinated” and how people should be coerced and threatened with the mystery fluid. 
 

These doctors, media, and government types can’t rightly be considered “human”. Whatever is going on in their interior life, it doesn’t resemble people like me or people like you. 

feeling the burn today lems?

da Booty Boss just shut down your whole studio and got your name wrong 

So no Switch 2 until Summer or even November ‘25? Maybe they’re taking their time to make sure production keeps up with demand. 

Switch was announced 9 years ago. 

“Bethesda remains one of the key pillars of Xbox with a strong portfolio of amazing games and thriving communities. As we look to the future, there is an impressive line-up of games on the horizon. In 2024 alone we have Starfield Shattered Space, Fallout 76 Skyline Valley, Indiana Jones and The Great Circle, and The Elder Scrolls Online’s Golden Road.“

their key pillar includes Shitfield DLC and expansion packs for D-tier MMO’s no one plays

don’t worry, we can still look forward be being disappointed by Elder Scrolls VI when we get to play it shitting our pants in the retirement home 

I stopped playing after 3 hours and uninstalled. Do people really like it enough to make some new account for “player safety” (banning people for being meanies)? Hopefully they make a big enough stink so I can get a refund because the game never clicked with me. 

X slops have killed gaming. It’s over. 

SEGA needs to come back with a home console and help put Micro$hit out to pasture. They're a scourge to gamers everywhere.

Looks like a trash can.

Yeah…fuck M$. Dogshit company. Leave real game developers alone before everything turns to ESG outsourced Starshit. 

Some better aspects: 

You don’t have to use the starmap nearly as much as you think. You can scan and gravjump between locations while in the cockpit screen. It keeps the immersion up. 
No map and no minimap is based. Just use the scanner. It keeps you looking at the world. 
One mine area had tons of verticality and I was boosting around like a madman headshotting spacers. The gunplay is basic, but it does have its fun moments. 
You an access your ships cargo from the pause menu and offload everything. Between the companion and ship cargo I’m full hoarder mode with no inventory problems. 
Ship building and upgrading might be the most well done aspect. It’s really easy to make something cool and functional. 

So many systems are just copypasted from Fallout 4. Especially the basebuilding, housing, and crafting. It’s not like this stuff was great back in 2015 either. How do you not improve upon it at all? Lazy. At least the lock picking is fun, but I’ll probably mod it out of the game after it gets boring for the 1000th time. 

7/10 is about right. It feels very much like a Bethesda RPG that you've done many times before just with a new coat of paint. Performance is shit on PC for these 2016 graphics. They didn't even add DLSS to cover up their shit optimization.

I'll still keep playing that garbage! At least until 2033 when the next serving of Toddslop is released (ES6).

o damn, you were a pretty hardcore hermit too.

It's not like my PS5 is getting much use either. AAA gaming is so shit.

It's literally over for hermsmells. I dropped $3k on a brand new PC at the end of 2022, just to get a solid year of shitty AAA devs charging $70 for a game that doesn't run correctly. Don't worry, we still have Starfield to look forward to in September.

The detail in this game is amazing. Doing a tactical reload will leave you with 10+1 in your gun and Leon will store the partially loaded mag back in his pocket. When you unload an empty mag he flicks it on the ground. If you haven't used a gun in a while, Leon will do a press check when he pulls it back out. He also changes to a CAR stance when fighting up close.  GOTY tier shit.

$500 to play new games at 45 fps on medium-low

One of the best optimized engines and it was crawling during that fight.
