Boycotted AND bankrupted for making mobile games!? Well, then I guess you don't want to play any console games ever again, as your belief would bankrupt every major console manufacturer - Nintendo, Sony & MS have all developed/published mobile games. And add on a ton of AAA and indie game companies to boot, and you're left with a huge hole in your gaming catalog.
If you don't like mobile games, fine, but what's with THAT level of hate?
...
Wow, people are very narrow minded here. Mobile games CAN be garbage, but not all mobile games are garbage. What kind of people are so insecure about their status in their imaginary gaming hierarchy that they would ask people to boycott a company for also making mobile games!? That's bananas.

I got it free on Epic, played with my best friend and his wife. We got a few hours out of it, and it was fun for that amount of time. The controls are meant to be juuuust good enough for you to be able to do things, but bad enough that it isn't easy to do them easily or well - that's kind of the schtick of all these kinds of "jokey simulation" typed games.
Sounds like they played it solo, which would probably make the 2/10 make more sense. But this isn'...
@Neonridr Well that's true, but the PS4 was also evolving quite a lot in the early days. It's almost shocking how little the Switch has changed in all the time I've owned it. But given that PS4 got folders back in 2016 after it was "one of their most requested features", you would also kind of hope Nintendo would have learned from that and put that on the feature roadmap a little sooner.
That doesn't make a ton of sense, in my opinion. The difference between 720p and 1080p in handheld would be fairly negligible, and it would only serve to eat into battery faster. There are bigger games, like Doom, that just can't hit 720p 30fps (and struggles occasionally to hit ~360p at 30fps), so I'd imagine any extra grunt would go towards powering more demanding games to hold 720p native at 30fps, and more of the 30fps games to hit 60fps.
All companies, at one time or another, do. I will forever take everything Phil Spencer says with a grain of salt after the whole "hardware exclusives are important" followed by "OK, Xbox games are coming to PC, but not these ones because they started too late in development to switch to PC" to "oh, look at that. This one's cancelled, that one is coming out day and date with the console version, this one is coming out 2 months later..." As a PC owner, I didn&#...
If only that's how people saw the whole "Sekiro easy mode" fiasco.
However, I do think converting a game for a different control scheme is going to have larger implications on the overall quality, but if they can enjoy it that way, have at it!
What? Just search for "patch" or "update" on the Digital Foundry YouTube page, and there are tons of videos that look at how patches affect performance across every platform.

One is Kotaku US, the other Kotaku AU. They are also two different authors. Wait...do people have...different opinions? Are all websites not one collective hive mind? Are not all journalists??? What is going on here!?
Also, this article didn't say the easy mode ruined the game. They just said easy was too easy, and that was mainly due to the fact that the difference between difficulties was a pretty sizable disparity, and easy mode IS NOT THE EASIEST SETTING. Did you re...
There's the issue - you read the article. People don't do that here. Headline yes. Few line summary/opening lines below the headline, right on the n4g page? 50% if you're lucky. Article? Less than 1%. It is pure folly try to reason with most people on this site. They don't care for nuance, and gut-reactions and hot taeks reign supreme.
Apologies for my pithy remark; rather uncharacteristic of me. AC might not be my jam, but I think it just shows I had spent too much time reading gaming stuff in our recent lockdown and hit a saturation point or something lol. Ignore past me. He was in a weird headspace.
I've got no idea. I tried one on the Wii ages ago and traded it in almost immediately. Tried again to give it a fair shake, got New Leaf on 3DS. No new insight. Don't begrudge those who like it, but all the coverage it keeps getting just makes me that much more bewildered.
Wheewwwy. How much dang coverage does this game really need!? I've seen more on this game than FF7R and Doom Eternal combined. Confounding.
They took Epic's money, sold gangbusters on PC AND consoles, and just recently hit Steam - if they didn't get what they were expecting, that's a failure of leadership. The people at the top, who are most able to deal with a shortfall, should take a cut to their earnings to help cover some of the losses for the people who are immeasurably more important to getting the actual product made.
Something tells me the higher ups didn't end up getting less than they ...
Huh. So the same excellent game it has always been, with additional improvements to hitting and defense that the writer likes. A fully licensed minor league now, again, on top of the already excellent game. But because it doesn't evolve more, it gets dropped below a standard, average game score? That seems overly harsh.
This month felt a bit weaker overall, but I still cannot possibly complain. With the "classic" plan, still got each game for barely over $1, so even though only 5 of them were really interesting to me that's still an absurd deal. And there's some special "extra" game being revealed on May 1st. Humble Choice is too good a deal to pass up, but just keeps adding to the backlog.
The backlog is at critical mass. It is self sustaining. It cannot be st...
They made a game in the most fatigued of fatigued genres. "Procedurally generated" and "dungeon crawler".
We hear those words and it is almost white noise now - it immediately made me borderline indifferent to the title. I assume they went for a weird concept and strange art style to allow it to stand out, but it does kind of have a family-friendly "Timmy's first dungeon crawler" vibe to it. Not my cup of tea, but it could be for someone e...
Weird! I actually checked it out last night and downloaded it for free. iOS is definitely getting the heads up on some freebies, and have some freebies of their own that haven't come across to Android yet for some reason.
Normally, it is what it is. But most games are going free to help combat cabin fever, so when they are free on one and not the other it kind of makes that sentiment ring a bit hollow. King's League: Odyssey and Tiny Guardians are still paid on And...
"I hate how millennial nowadays expect their companies to be 'responsible', 'pro consumer', 'aware' and all the other hippy garbage they come up with nowadays", and that "corporations shouldn't have to give a damn about you"...but you ALSO believe "They need to get rid of the nudity. You're going to put that crap in to our kids games?" (regarding Ghosts of Tsushima).
If you aren't a troll, that is an impressi...
