The Nintendo Online service is going to replace Virtual Console? You mean because they are giving out one included retro game per month with the little tweaks? If that is what you are saying, that means that they will put out something like 12 games a year. The Wii had 400 VC games. With the Switch Online thing, you'll only get those 12 games and nothing else will be available to you. Even if the Switch lasts 5 years past when the online service begins, it won't even hit 1/4th of what...
I didn't say anything about couch co-op, did I? I said "shared/split-screen co-op". It isn't like couch co-op means anything other than shared/split-screen. It doesn't relegate the mode to only on the couch lol. I mean I even said most people have their PCs hooked up to monitors, but plenty have them hooked up to TVs or projectors as well.
And so fine, let's just say for argument's sake that 99% of the time the feature would be used it would be...
First, I said "shared/split screen co-op". Nowhere did I say couch co-op. The term just means "local or splitscreen co-op", not that you HAVE to play on the couch. I even mentioned most PC players are on monitors, but plenty are on TVs or projectors.
Second, even if we want to say not many people are set up for it, if they already have an x86 codebase for the consoles, why not add it to PC?
But not for PC? BOOOO. Boo these people!
I play shared/split-screen co-op with friends on my PC not irregularly. I never understand when a feature like this gets excluded from PC. Sure, a lot of people have them hooked up to monitors, but plenty of people also have them hooked up to TVs or projectors. Get with the times, people!
I forget, is this the game where they had HDR and then dropped support later, so you have to have something like an old version of the game *and* older nvidia drivers to make it work? I remember hearing a lot of praise for one of the big PC games in terms of how HDR looked, only to have it later taken away.
I'm with you. I have a Wii U and had bought most of the exclusives, Zelda included. So when the Switch came out I was back and forth between waiting, but was interested in Odyssey, Kingdom Battle and the new Xenoblade. It sounded like Nintendo were going to keep pumping games out, keep a stream of games incoming, and be a worthwhile secondary console (fwiw, all my consoles are pretty much exclusives machines as I play most games on PC). Boy, what a mistake that was. I liked Odyssey quite ...
From the article:
The studio is still focused on making mobile games though. Following on from the Go series, Naud still wants the studio to innovate in the mobile space with new concepts, which he hopes will then become a standard which others look to.
"The focus is still tailoring high-end, high-quality pristine mobile experiences," he said.

So it sounds like they are simply refocusing their efforts in mobile - and giv...
Lol, isn't that a bit like saying "my unmodified home theater receiver can play PS4 and PC games"? It happens to have display information passing through it, but none of the processing is happening on board...
Wow, short is right. 6 seconds. You can't even figure out what you are looking at before it is over lol.
I don't think Wipeout Omega Collection has been "discounted". $19.99 is, as I am given to understand, its new MSRP. Same price at BestBuy, GS, and on PSN. Just a heads up that you don't have to rush out and buy it if this price point appeals to you. It did just get a new demo though, if you were unaware, so give that a shot. $20 for this is quite a value.
A bunch. They need to announce a bunch. I bought a Switch fairly early on to play Mario Odyssey. Excellent game. I own a Wii U, so already played BotW and the deluge of ports that have hit the Switch that have brought others a lot of value. Nintendo has been given a lot of praise for having tons of content for a launch console, but with all the ports of games I already played, I'm pretty disappointed so far. I get that console launches can be barren, but it has been out for a year and two...
I agree the writing there is in definite need of some help, but I'm a little confused by the "utterly stupid, barely-literate and poorly educated gamers" comment. How do you use this single site to represent all gamers? Do you count yourself among the "utterly stupid, barely-literate and poorly educated" given you are a gamer? I found that to be such a bizarre generalization to add to the end of your statement. Seemed out of place.
Saying "game" seems rather disingenuous here. It seems to simply be a promotional app that has lore, maps, and some AR bits. So either the journalist didn't even bother to click the link to the store page to read it, or someone is fishing for some hits...
SSD prices are better than they were, but still not cheap enough in my mind to consider splashing out a good chunk of cash to end up using solely for game storage. Get a medium sized SSD for booting your OS, any applications that you use often, and several of your most played/recent games. The rest of your Steam library can go on traditional 7200 RPM drives where storage per GB is cheap as chips.
I've spent a lot on my system, so it doesn't come down to spending ano...
It's the pic used by the owner of the Twitter account. No idea why anyone would change it from what it originally was, nor that there were ways that one could lol
Painfully accurate. A not inconsiderable amount of the conversations in FFXV felt like they were written using a quip-generator. Very few things sounded natural, and very little did any developing. Pushed the plot along, but by the end even that was just flying off the rails. I liked the *game* part of the game, but the story needed so much help.
Hopefully next time they don't feel the need to strip out character and plot pieces to put in a Direct to Video movie, severa...
Sadly, no. I'm guessing you have an original PS Vita like me. It seems we got stuck with a pretty weak wifi chip. I've been one room away from my router (PS4 hardwired with ethernet) and had issues maintaining a usable signal. I've tried direct connecting with PS4, and that tends to be worse. I'd have to wager the newer Vita's are better for remote play given they at least support the 5ghz band, but that doesn't do a whole lot of good for OG owners.
...
Sure! Then you'll have the early game enemies, NPCs and Final Boss all duking it out for your attention, just turn your head and you'll see something new - no walking required...action packed, never boring!
Thanks to crypto mining & chip shortages, there is almost nothing you can consider a "cheap" GPU upgrade anymore. RAM prices are wonky too. It is a rough time right now to build or upgrade a PC. And a 1050Ti is maybe a 15% bump over his GTX760. Hard sell, considering a quick google shows that the cheapest 1050Ti appears to be $200. Man, I hope things get back to normal here in the next few months.
Not entirely true. KB&M are objectively better for a lot of games (for example, I play pretty much all RTS or FPS with KB&M). But if you want to play a platformer like Hollow Knight or maybe a few matches of Rocket League, controllers tend to be better (or even if you want to play a non-competitive shooter on the couch or something).
I don't know why people would put either down. They both have their uses.
