Echo Dot

I think I realised what my big problem with $90 games is for Nintendo and it’s this, when I was a kid I used to save up money and buy game boy games. It was an important thing my parents made me do because it meant that I learnt you don’t just get given things for free (gifts are of course fine but at some point you need to learn about working to get money for things you want).

There’s no way he’s going to be able to get $90 in a reasonable time frame. What’s he going to do, cut lawns for 2 years in a row?

He said that in 2006 so I guess it kinda made sense. It should have been re-released long before that though

It’s a weird game design. All of the enemies are like little mini bosses and they all have their own weak points you have to target to do any real damage, and unless you know that it just sort of feels like a shooter where the enemies have too much health. Off the top of my head I can’t even remember how good they are and actually broadcasting that information, it might very well be only in the tutorial or when you encounter a new type of enemy.

So Gears Of War is not an Xbox exclusive anymore (to be clear, this is a good thing). So what on Earth is the point in an Xbox again?

Okay so I’ve skim read the article and two things, one they need to optimise their damn website for tablets, so I can actually read it since half the videos were covering the text, two they don’t actually have any revelations, shocking or otherwise, because they are essentially rehashing already available information with essentially no new details being gleaned from the trailer.

It’s a toss-up on whether AI wrote this.

There are actual YouTubers who are able to break down trailers so accurately that they’re able to develop maps who put out videos that are less clickbatey than that title.

I’ll just wait for one of them to put out an update, shouldn’t be more than a few hours.

Their games have always been expensive , but they are but they’ve always been this side of reasonable. Let’s see how $90 games treats everybody.

I wouldn’t want to spend $90 on my kid, the little shit isn’t worth it.

I have to admit though the deck doesn’t look like it should be ergonomic. It looks far larger than it actually is and it is pretty big.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it is too large for a lot of markets. It definitely seems like a product that was designed for westerners in mind.

Anyone who is even remotely involved in developing commercial software knows this.

Step 1 is growing a customer base,
Step 2 is making that customer base loyal,
Step 3 is and in ads, free tiers with more ads, bonus currency and other BS

Everyone knows that if you’re ever going to charge money for your product you charge money for your product day one. You don’t have a free alpha release or something and then expect everyone to pay later on, that sort of misdirect gets up people’s noses. Star citizen is an absolute master class in how to do this well, not morally of course, but definitely done well.

Because the game isn’t out for another year and it’s unreasonable to expect them to show current gameplay because it won’t be at all representative for the final result.

Then why comment?

That’s when you load all middle managers onto a spaceship and send them off under the guise of colonising a new world.

make it so the users can’t close the tab until they bought something.

Why do they always request that? They’ve never seen any website on the internet work like that yet they actually think that they are the first people to come up with that idea.

It would still have to be in at least somewhat of a consistent format. Even a human would require that.

If they’re just going to write the details however they feel on any particular day and then just expect someone or something to be able to interpret that they’re going to have a bad time.

Now the self checkouts are being decommissioned and we’re going back to regular human cashiers.

Maybe this is North American thing because in Europe they never really got rid of human cashiers, they just had the automated systems alongside the human cashiers.

I don’t know of any store that went over to 100% self-checkout

If you actually go back to your home city there is literally nothing to do there.

You would have thought that at some point they would have added some special item or quest that you got if you actually went back but nope. In every game of Pokémon I have ever played there is no incentive to return to your home city and talk to your mother.

Well there’s been that fairly lacklust trailer. It didn’t exactly look inspiring. Of course it might have great gameplay but historically speaking that seems unlikely.

Also of course it’s probably going to cost $100 which means I’m not going to buy it regardless.

Presumably the price that they’re quoting is for everything to be maxed out then. Seems like a really odd way of doing it.

Why has it got 40Tb of storage? What’s this for

Why? Most posts that I’ve seen that have been downvoteed are because the comment in question is bad in some way. People who don’t realise that need a lesson in been appropriate.

What I would be in favor of, is downvotes been hidden to everyone to stop bandwagoning.
