I like your approach. Keep the backlog at the store, is what I always say. I've never experienced a gaming drought on any console.
The law of diminishing returns is on full effect with pc gaming. Just not worth the cost in time and money for me.
Exactly how does your pc make its money back?
If you care about learning about PC mechanics and like tinkering with drivers and software conflicts(these are the worst), and basically treat getting things to work as a game itself, then go for it. I used to like PC gaming, but gave up years ago and went console only. I prefer games to work out of the box and still be supported for 5+ years without needing upgrades. $300 plus cost of games and I'm good for 5 years or so, without having to tinker. Can't do that on a PC..
Going all in on anything is bad. Diversification is key. Ever been told not to put all of your eggs in one basket?
Yes, change is good, success or failure, new things need to be tried. This is why I like Nintendo. Poor marketing or not, they are trying new things. Everything can't catch on, but at least they are trying something new.
Unfortunately, many people seem to think that the "standard" controller is perfect. It is not by any means. A little from every consoles controller into another could be amazing. What could be interesting is to have all 3 console maker...
The controller was amazing, and only related to the problem due to sharing resources with the system itself. If they can make a system that is easy to port to, with sufficient power on 3rd parties games AND sufficient additional power to run the gamepad effectively. Taking power from the system to run the gamepad was one of the large mistakes, not the existence of the gamepad itself.
sufficient power on par with Sony/MS, a gamepad with its own processor/graphics chip, and...
Yes, I've been waiting on this one!
If I was a larger publisher, I'd be looking hard at crowd funding for talent and funding projects that deserve it.
I hope its not the case, but perhaps companies are using crowd funding as a way to determine if a game should be made at all and just what it says, kickstart the process, not fully fund the project. If you just read message boards of people asking for games, when this vocal minority is the only group that actually wants it. This is a way of making people put their money where their mouth is and get an actual picture of what demand is. There may not be a better way to get past the fanboys a...
If too many companies put too many of their eggs in the VR basket and it doesn't actually take off, could be the catalyst we are looking for that ultimately hurt gaming.
We are assuming that no mans sky is only worth $60. Maybe it is worth more, and is priced too low at $60, making the Order 1886 priced correctly at $60. Just playing devil's advocate here. It doesn't necessarily mean that every game for $60 should have the same amount of content
I've never been disappointed enough about a game to go online and bash it. Doesn't really serve a purpose.
Put about 50 hours in the Wii U version and had a great time with it. It doesn't deserve the hate it seems to get.
People here would probably blame nintendo for that too?
Did having something different from the japanese version that you'll never play cause you physical pain or make you stop playing and demand a refund? No? Amazing how that works folks.
Questions I have.
1. If we didn't know about it, would it take away from the experience? No
2. Is it nintendo or the esrb at fault? Thats the question but probably both.
3. Movies localize and have to cut things all the time to meet ratings. Why isn't anyone pissed about this? Because it doesn't matter.
I'm happy with the game as it is. People can't find something to complain about in the game so they manufacture something...
I'd be willing to bet that this was in motion much longer than we realize, to complete with the the steam boxes, in case they would have taken off. It may have been shelved briefly when steam boxes haven't caught hold, but may have been revived with the interest in VR and Sony playstation neo. Everything always more complicated than we realize, which is why we don't run the business.
I'm sorry, but even a basketball with a huge lump on the side is still round.

Have you ever thought that the other investors in the Pokemon company are not interested in selling? I wouldn't.
