You are already a niche case. Because you apparently already played a Souls title, but have not got Elden Ring yet. So yeah, for the few folks out there that could be in that situation I could see a demo be of help. But given how successful this game is. I really doubt that your kind of situation is true for a big number of players, honestly, I'm pretty confident in assuming that you guys are a niche inside a niche.

So for the majo...

I don't think you understand. A two or even three-hour limit wouldn't give you anything to test from this game. The scale and the amount of content would simply not be able to be presented in a short span of time like that. Especially for fence-sitters that have no idea what they are even trying to do.

Just to put in perspective people are taking dozens of hours just to beat the first dungeon. And that is where the game point yo...

To be fair. This is the kind of game where a demo would either hurt it or be unless.
The map is huge and packed full of secrets, so a demo wouldn't really be able to show what is great in this game in comparison to others "Souls" titles.

Yeap, as long as it has a Linux version.
You can just install it. What can get a bit more complicated to implement is Proton, but there are options for that as well.

Yes, please.
No reason for it to exist anymore.

Well, you wouldn't be wrong. The average user spending was less than a dollar on third party stuff.
So most of those accounts are either for the free games or they are using it for Epic own titles like Fortnite.

Even though I dislike Facebook as a company. That is very good news for the category as a whole.

Yeap, Halo creator on Playstation and Crash on Xbox.
A really weird timeline that we have found ourselves in.

If it manages to be sold at MSRP. It's actually going to be one of the most solid cards out there.

The issue is managing that, though....

The fact that it tops the sales charts year after year. Points that it definitely shouldn't.

It would be nice, however, to have the studios that pump out these games be free to do other things.

Also Cloud. Microsoft supports their cloud endeavours with day one releases as well. With Playstation, the PSNOW is still not available on many platforms and when they add first-party games, a lot of them are just temporary additions.

So yeah, for the consumer is a completely different situation between Microsoft buying these companies and Sony doing that.

It does affect you. Because now if you pause a single month you will lose that 20% store discount for an entire year.

Yeah, have to agree with you here. It Takes Two had so much heart put into it. The couch coop was great, the characters charming but the platforming itself was a tad on the simpler side. But, Psychonauts 2 was just fantastic, from the visuals to the gameplay. It's one of those rare cases where I felt that they improved on pretty much everything over the original title.

Don't know anyone into NFT yet. But for Crypto? Yes, I know a bunch of people. But the vast majority are just traders, buying and selling crypto. I think only one guy is actually trying to mine them.

Intel is really the hope here. Their focus in the mid-range and using a completely untapped process for GPUS can really save us. Just a matter of them having the quantity and their drivers being good.

The tech has a future. The service doesn't. Unless they completely rebrand and rethink their business model.

This got a CERO D, meaning that is close to being an adult-only game. So it's better for them to not even try.
Release it on the Switch and on PC when it comes to the western market.

The device itself looks really nice and having this form factor (a bit smaller than a Switch) really helps it fit the portable console niche. At least much better than a notebook or even the Steam Deck.

However, this price is really just insane. Especially with the little to no improvements on the GPU.

I think it's too early to say anything about the player base as a whole. Because as the article pointed out we can only see the player numbers of the Steam version. And I would assume that a big part of the player base is playing using either an Xbox or the Xbox Windows App in order to also have access to the single-player.

However, is true that the current state of the game is lacking. Not only in the customization department that is likely the weakest we had in any m...

@TheDoomedGuy

Unfortunately, GameStop is not a thing in my country. Here the PS5 is actually the easier one to get (as it appears once for 5 minutes in the full moon). The Series X is sold out since its release.

And Series S and PS5 Digital are readily available. But while I might get the first at some point as a complementary GamePass machine. The second is just a pretty sour deal being not that cheaper than the physical disc version. But having much mor...
