Happy Frigay the 13th!
I will rather wait a year for an eshop game to drop £2 lower then buy it with gritted teeth.
Seriously I waited like 16 months for Hollow Knight to drop.
I can't even get off the first level. Granted its several times bigger than most Shinohi levels, but still.
And yet the game feels so good to play I'm motivated to keep going and get better. Excellent controls, makes you feel like a bad ass slashing down enemies.
The die shrink is interesting, because the T239 is an 8nm chip which is bigger than the XB1 SOC so there was always debate from Digital Foundry because it would be a hotter more battery hungry device. Then months after Necro Felipes specs leak we heard that the extra time allowed Nintendo to do a die shrink and gave the system a power boost as the clocks can run higher without overheating. And the battery will last longer.
It's all pretty interesting. As someone who hasn't owned a PS4 or XB1, a graphics bump is anything over the current switch, so it will be fine with me.
I've watched YouTube video compilations of the best looking PS4 Pro games and they look great to me.
Do you guys still buy a lot of full price boxed retail games?
I do for some big releases and re-releases of beloved games like Ace Attorney.
But if game prices are going to rise to £50 or £60, I can see myself buying less games unless they are on sale.
Buying smaller cheaper digital games has kind of eroded the value of these big 3rd party games. I can see myself continuing buying many small indie games and only a few big retail boxed games a year from now on.
Maybe 4 games to 5 big games a year?
I buy all of my Nintendo switch games physical carts if available. I've stopped buying PS5 games physical because they are almost always incompete, and requiring an additional download to play.
Edit: I usually wait for Nintendo Switch games to go down at least $5-10 before buying them. I rarely pay full price for a PS games since I wait for them to be as feature complete and as bug free as possible before I buy, which takes six months to a year after release. By then, they are half price or even less.
I still buy a fair amount of games right away at full retail price. Probably about a dozen or more per year. Doubt that’ll change all that much for me in the foreseeable future. If I don’t pick up a game within the first month then I’ll typically just wait for at least one discount.
That's not to say I won't pay full price for a game again. I probably would have if Visions of Mana had gotten a physical release for the PS4. But most weeks I don't spend more than about 10 or 12 hours playing a game, so I couldn't keep up with the latest releases even if I wanted to. So because of that, I'm quite content to do all the hobo buying that I can.
I guess for physical I'm thinking years from now in the future I'll still be able to play physical games. But the downloads mean that might not be possible anyway.
And changing tv formats has rendered most of my old consoles obsolete anyway.
1. Ganryu 2 is awesome
2. It doesn't make you restart the whole game if you die
They said its called the Nintendo Superior, that the screen is way bigger than the Switch. That it has magnetic joycons and that the joycons have analogue triggers. The joycons are more shaped to the hand making it more comfortable to use.
It's from 4chan.
Edit: Also a more reliable source says early October reveal and $400 price
The Nintendo Superior?
The Nintendo Superior?
Because Wii U flopped, cause of the name. People didn't understand it was a new system. Would have sold better if it was called wii 2?
Maybe a little but what's the problem with Nintendo calling a sequel system 2?
Superior is total horseshit.
Nothing could help the Wii U. Confusing name and I think the Upad hurt it a lot with people. I remember my sister being kinda interested in it when I told her about it. That quickly changed when I showed her the Upad. "WTH? No. No way!" she said.
The only company with worse console names is MS. The Xbox name is fine, but they lost it ever since.
I think the console was doomed no matter what, but I think they could have struggled to a more respectable level of failure.
I think too for children, who were already using tablets which they can take anywhere and still use them were baffled that they were given a tablet to use (Wii U) and then it only worked within a small range. I know the kids who tried the Wii U at my place were like -- what sort of baby toy is this?
What I've been playing this week:
Finished A Plague Tale Innocence https://gameunder.net/http/gameunderlibsyncom/rss/2024/9/12/game-under-podcast-160
Started A Plague Tale: Requiem (Thanks for the code Foolz)
Started You Suck at Parking (on sale on steam for $6, demo also avilable)
Slay the Spire
Played Thank Goodness You're Here with my daughter (third playthrough)
Desert Child (Don't bother)
Strongly considered buying Disneyland Adventures for my daughter (from Asobo, the makers of A Plague Tale and MS Flight Sim).
