@DadVolante@sh.itjust.works avatar

The article really nailed it about the time being almost a golden age of movie tie ins

You really did see a lot of games tend to lean more toward the payable side. I remember enjoying Revenge of the Sith on PS2 more than the real thing.

Even after being charged, Ouahioune asked Canadian newspaper La Presse to unban his Rainbow Six Siege account: “Can you say that I am kindly asking the Ubisoft team to ‘unban’ my account please,” Ouahioune said. “I have put over $1,500 in cosmetic enhancements in my profile.”

Wow.

savvywolf , to gaming in New Nintendo Switch accessory might confirm some leaked details about Switch 2

Could have just gone through some planning hell and was originally intended to be released a few years ago.

As an aside: Magnets to attach the joycons seem miserable.

As an aside: Magnets to attach the joycons seem miserable.

How so? It doesn’t sound revolutionary, but it does at least sound like an improvement over the current plastic rails system?

averyminya ,

It would be too bad to lose the backwards compatibility for all those special edition Joycons. Not that I expect them to, though it would be within Nintendo’s track record.

theangriestbird OP ,

well the rumor at the moment is that the new console will be backwards compatible with the old joycons. they won’t attach to the new console, but you will still be able to connect and play with old joycons.

averyminya ,

Oh I definitely will figured the Bluetooth would connect still, so pro controllers are fine. I was more thinking of the physical connection aspect since playing in bed is a little awkward with the removed Joycons and the kickstand set. Still nice though, especially if you have one of those mounted tablet stands.

I’m just thinking of all the LoZ and Animal Crossing Joycons that will now be relegated to the sheathe holder and a docking charger (or one of the fancy ones with USB to charge)

theangriestbird OP ,

That’s fair! I mean I have Animal Crossing ones, and they’re not really that special, just unique colors. Other thing to consider is stick drift - if you’ve had your special edition Joycons for awhile, they may be on their way out pretty soon…

averyminya ,

Yeah definitely lol. I got very lucky, my near-launch day switch joycon sets I got only has one left joycon that started drifting last year. I have no idea how they lasted that long cause I used all my controllers pretty heavily.

Now they sit on the charging dock next to the switch, next to the Steam Deck that actually gets used… Lol

I guess I don’t have much faith in the ability for magnets to stick well enough to the console.

theangriestbird OP ,

so far all we have is rumors, but i think the stuff i read said that they would be theoretically stronger than the plastic rails, at least from forces from specific angles. They’re supposed to use this new kind of electromagnet tech where it only needs a small burst of energy to activate or deactivate the magnet. Time will tell if Nintendo can actually pull that off, but it sure would be neat!

I dunno, I’ve played with magnets that have the ability to pull their way through my hand before, so it’ll all come down to implementation. Sounds more reliable than some plastic.

NigelFrobisher , to gaming in Polygon - Was Bioshock Infinite good?

They could figure this out more easily by simply playing the game and deciding if they enjoyed it or not.

istanbullu , to gaming in A handheld Xbox? Microsoft’s gaming chief can’t stop thinking about it

The success of Steam Deck is the reason.

MossyFeathers , to gaming in A handheld Xbox? Microsoft’s gaming chief can’t stop thinking about it

I hope whatever they come up with is linux-compatible so it can work on the Steam Deck. I know it almost certainly won’t be, but it’d be nice.

catloaf ,

It’s Microsoft, so it’d be Windows-based, just like the Xbox.

Which is not to say it wouldn’t run Linux, but it would probably be a hassle to get all the drivers working for whatever hardware they put in it.

bigkahuna1986 ,

It’ll probably be locked down, just like the Xbox.

cynar ,

Valve are the only ones confident enough in their systems to do that. Valve’s mindset seems to be that trying to lock people in is a losing strategy, long term. Instead they are just making sure that their offerings are better than anything else available. If done right, it has all the advantages of locking people in, with none of the downsides. It also combines with the perceived openness, which gains you a lot of credit with the geek community.

Microsoft are too reliant on lock-in to risk opening it up.

Defaced , to games in Overwatch 2 season 10 will make all new heroes free, Blizzard announces

My guess is they’re going to make the heroes free and the battle pass or season pass or whatever the fuck it is a part of gamepass.

Could be? Either way it’s a win for the players.

curiousaur , to piracy in Warner Bros. is now erasing games as it plans to delist Adult Swim-published titles

They already have. Can you install Super Monsters Ate My Condo? Released 10 years ago, great android game, gone now.

TrudeauCastroson ,

Android games are different because old ones use currently unsupported libraries, and you’re not supposed to run old versions of android. That’s more a problem with how Google thinks android has to work.

PC games and PlayStation store games don’t really make sense to de-list like this because win10 is very backwards-compatible with software, and PS4/PS5 games that are released and work don’t need any upkeep.

cyberpunk007 ,

Never heard of it, is it zombies ate my friends?

duckduckgo.com/?q=zombies+ate+my+condo+apk&t=fpas…

pirat ,

From wikipedia:

Monsters Ate My Condo was an iOS tile-matching video game developed by PikPok and released on September 15, 2011 by Adult Swim Games for $0.99. A sequel, Super Monsters Ate My Condo, was released in 2012.

Note: I did not test/check/scan any of the files I’m pointing to!

CookieOfFortune , to games in 14 great games to try if you loved Baldur’s Gate 3

No mention of Pathfinder? I was playing Wrath of the Righteous right before BG3 and it makes BG3 seem so tiny(mechanics wise) in comparison.

GCanuck ,

I was disappointed by the lack of Pathfinder. To the point where I think this author isn’t credible.

BG3 is a much prettier game. And by a lot.

But the Pathfinder games are a more immersive adventure.

I’d already left a couple of reviews on re5 and re revelations expressing my discontent. But otherwise there are more older collections that actually have that drm applied.

KyoStarr , to gaming in Twitch cuts 35% of its staff, and now more than 500 people are out of work
@KyoStarr@kbin.social avatar

Unfortunately, we still have work to do to rightsize our company and I regret having to share that we are taking the painful step to reduce our headcount by just over 500 people across Twitch.

Absolutely hate that "rightsizing" is a term. It's called downsizing and it will have negative impacts on Twitch users, Twitch as a platform, and the 500 Twitch employees that will be out of a job now.

Maybe Twitch should be "rightsizing" CEO and Executive Suite salaries?
