The Xbox PC X and the PS6 will be more powerful than the Switch 2.

Secretly to you: in 30 years cheap smartphones will be stronger than ps6

PS5 XSX is more powerful than Switch 2

Profchaos296d ago

Yup but try and play them on a plane

Benjaminkno206d ago

Always fun to see trolls first in comments. I can remember back in the ps1 days when Nintendo fanboys harped on graphics and Sony preached “more games.” “But ps2 is also a DVD player!!”
Then ps3 comes out and suddenly gimmicks are something to complain about.
It all just depends on where the wind blows.

It blows my mind that Nintendo didn’t bother to add the Hall effect to their analog joysticks after the NS1 was plagued by that. Is it too much for Nintendo, Xbox, and PlayStation to do a simple fix on their gamepads even if it costs a bit more?

jznrpg297d ago

I have someone who mods my controllers for me. A set of Hall effect modules are around 15$ retail. It should be standard these days.

mooreneco21297d ago

Unfortunately, they could not use them due to the electromagnetic field from the magnets in the Switch 2 joy-cons, ironically it would cause drifting!

MetroidFREAK21297d ago

Any software that's released as a Game Key Card is an automatic skip so I can see that

anast296d ago

The price tag is huge though.

The game has been properly cracked by voices38, no Hypervisor bypass shit. It actually runs better without Denuvo. From Tom's Hardware: "Denuvo properly cracked in Resident Evil: Requiem, bypasses become plug-and-play — cracked version runs faster, smoother, and uses way less VRAM and RAM" https://www.tomshardware.co... I personally don't give a shit about RE anymore, same crap every year it seems, but I got to give to voices 38 good job.🙌

Capcom Says Pragmata Sold 1 Million Copies in 2 Days

Pragmata has sold 1 million copies in two days, Capcom has announced.

asad19711h ago

Capcom is the best developer of all time. Consistent hit over many years .

DivineHand12511h ago

I didn't know it came out last Friday, or I would have bought the game. I will try again for this upcoming weekend.

CrimsonWing6911h ago

Im really digging it. It reminds me of games from the PS2 era, not visually or how it plays, but like the spirit of it. If you were around for that golden age of gaming, you’ll get what I mean when you play this.

LucasRuinedChildhood10h ago

Have you tried Kanitsu-Gami: Path Of The Goddess (also Capcom)? That feels like a PS2-era Capcom game.

The_Hooligan10h ago

Agreed! The art style is amazing in that game. I bought it immediately after I played the demo but haven't started it lol

jznrpg5h ago

I want a physical copy of that game sooo bad. It seems like it won’t happen and I may have to use some of my Xmas PS gift cards I always get this winter but I’m still holding out with very little hope.

robtion7h ago

I know what you mean. I think it really feels like Vanquish, with some Dead Space and Binary Domain thrown in. So maybe more PS3 era but yes it is great.

isarai_lee11h ago

The next thing I'm mine when I've had my fill of crimson desert. A nice linear action game to contrast the open ended 😗👌

jznrpg10h ago

CD is so big I’ll play it all year and squeeze shorter games inbetween

jznrpg10h ago

I preordered it long ago. Going to start it later this evening

Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred’s New Endgame Is All About More Freedom and Less Friction | IGN

The second expansion looks to deliver Diablo 4’s most bingeable endgame yet.

Retro19861d 12h ago

Not gonna play this game before they stop selling cosmetics in shop that looks better than drops in-game. Stupid company

Gameseeker_Frampt1d 10h ago

Could be worse. Path of Exile has no cosmetic drops in-game but will happily sell them to you for $30 each.

Michiel19891d 4h ago

PoE is also free and has actual good updates every 3 months and listen the community. Combined with the fact that PoE actually is for adults instead of the cookie cutter shit you get in D4, build diversity? no ofc not, on the item it literally says for which single skill the item works for and for nothing else so you're pigeonholed into a couple very specific items if you wanna play a certain build which kills all personal builds and everyone is just running with the exact same items, compare that to PoE where there's endless viable builds.

Retro198621h ago(Edited 21h ago)

I agree. I want to play, not pay. Should be enough to pay 60-80$ for a game, and 20-40$ for future dlc. No shops to buy cosmetics, loot boxes, pets etc.
PoE being free is not a good thing.
I want to find all content in-game.. would be soooo much more fun finding hard to Get cosmetics/gear and pets or other side things.
Hopefully someone gets it in the future so its possible to enjoy that genre.

Michiel198920h ago

@retro millions of people enjoyed diablo 1 and 2 where there were no chase cosmetic items, so there goes your argument. The genre has been enjoyed without that for decades so stop acting like it can't be without your made up barbie dress up game. You rolled with however the best item that you found or traded looked.

Path of Exile may be free, but it is designed completely around the free-to-play model. It is almost unplayable without buying additional stash tabs yet even after spending $60 on them you are still required to manually click on every single material you want to pick up. This is especially painful since you cannot loot good gear and instead have to rely on its horrible crafting system or buying what you need from other players (so you'll be picking up a ton of stuff with the hope to eventually turn it all into one useful item). A big part of the game is the league start and how fast players can rush through the campaign since in Path of Exile, you are required to always play through the campaign. On top of that time sink, respeccing your character is prohibitively expensive so if you want to try out a different build you will most likely have to make a new character (and play through the campaign again). New skills are tied to rng and your skills are socketed into your gear so you get to waste even more time moving skill gems around just to compare pieces of gear on your character.

I play both and like them each for different reasons. Diablo 4 is the better game that you can just pick up and play. It is in a much better place than it was at launch and upcoming changes in Lord of Hatred look good. Path of Exile is the better spreadsheet simulator for those who enjoy complexity and obscurity in equal measures and are ok with spending most of their game time on websites looking up information that could of just been included in the game. The downside that keeps me from playing PoE more is mapping gets old real quick and learning that there is a lot less build diversity than the diehards claim there is (PoE websites actually list all the content a specific build cannot do).

That's never going to happen. What really needs to happen and will also never will is the prices for these cosmetics are outrageous just for a dinky little model and needs to come down massively. It's so dumb that they're willing to price the cosmetics so high that basically only a small portion of their player base will ever buy anything when they instead could have nearly their entire player base buying more cosmetics for a more reasonable price.

Retro198623h ago(Edited 22h ago)

Whats the point playing these games if its not to chase Getting good looking gear ? That also gives you the feeling of getting stronger and better.
I can buy all these cosmetics.. but whats the fun ln looking like a complete finished character from the start. It so stupid.

Remember how it was to play wow before. Half the fun was to complete challenges and getting the sweet stuff or build it.
Or opening chests in zelda to Get that special gear.

The companys making ARPGs these days Are so greedy and only seek to make mechanics that makes the user splash money on the game like u do in gambling.

Its funny. Watching streams of these games.. oh! That guy has spent atleast 3-400$ on the game with that look! Hes so awesome! Finds new end game gear and You Cant Even see the results in the character… everyone looks like a copy of eachother. Unless you splash money on the game to look unique all the time.

Miss the times before online stores. Loot boxes. Cosmetics shops etc is cancer.

Daeloki18h ago

Damn, I lowkey got excited to get back into D4 because I thought the Warlock looks cool, but reading through this comment-chain is giving me second thoughts. Or actually more like reminding me why I stopped playing it back in the first place :(

Zeke6815h ago

I think the Warlock will alot of fun, and if not, I will just make another Paladin. ;)
Ignore the cosmetics and just enjoy the game imho.

neutralgamer19925h ago

I would be happy with Diablo 3 on steam with controller support TBH. D4 is a lost cause. D3 isn't on steam and that would be fine I wouldn't have any issue with battle net but controller support is a must

@michiel1989
No it dosent. At that time you chased what was in-game and there wasent any cooler gear in a online shop that you could buy. Everything made by the designers/artists and what the hardware could handle was there to Get for free in the game when you played. And things progress and evolves from there. And the way they do it now, is ruining the experience. The designers/artist can today make awesome stuff and put it in the game.. but instead they put it behind a instant paywall. Takes all the joy we had before, the thought of «im gonna find the best and Coolest gear in this game!» is all gone.

Its just sad to see kids today grow up with this. And adults accept this. And people in the gaming industry being proud of their work ? Oh my….i would be disgusted if i was an designer on those teams.

Smellsforfree11h ago

I think the open world map approach is what kills the game for me. It just makes it boring. Even though D1-3 were "randomized" there was still a sense of spatial awareness. In D4 I really don't recognize anything, ever, and just follow the quest marker arrow telling me to go next. Meanwhile the combat doesn't feel impactful at all. For me D4 is a boring game. I feel no connection in anything I'm doing in it at any time, and I really don't care what is going to happen next. D3 was a much better game.
