Why would Nintendo do anything as customer friendly as back compatibility? It’s just not who they are.


Try a movie via hmd for a half hour and you’ll be looking for a monitor.


It’s a shame that it’s been delayed on PC for a year.


“I never said Edris Elba is a bad actor”

Well pal, Edris Elba is an actor and is in this game. Saying all the acting in this game is bad IS saying that Edris is a bad actor.


They’re trying to weasel out of paying refunds, as if it makes any difference who told them to do what. They have to issue refunds for merchandise not delivered and then sue Sony for damages.


The 2020s hot new business practice is self immolation through hypercapitalist greed and assuming that just because you’re the most popular in an industry you’re the only choice.

I guess the vulture capitalism has turned inward.



I can’t wait to have steam charge me $1 every time I re-download a unity5 game. MS should follow suit and force you to pay $1 a pop for each directx install. Which would actually be more like $80 because it loads every patch and version in order on every install.

Fee per download for a game framework that packaged into the download that they have no part of distributing? I hope this is the most recent example of a successful tech company commiting suicide, it really is the best theme this year.


I think thats rated NC17 or something for nudity. I’m not worried about that for kids but many are.


That’s not what dlc is nor is it required on any other platform. Backward compatibility then a graphic re release, not just “here, same shit, new platform” like fucking 'tendo



It’s also dumb to expect they’ll be paying retail for microsd or whatever usb flash sticks they decive to use.


Nobody said it was. It’s a medium to get games from a brick and mortar store to install onto the nvme on the console you can’t play modern games directly from Bluray either.


I agree, hall effect joycons SoC to something that’s less than two years old and maybe a little thicker for enough battery to match runtime and a tiny quiet fan.


30 second search at 100gb (modern AAA games and the biggest Bluray)

Bluray is $10 a disc, microsd is $8 and you get 128gb and can get bigger media, which doesn’t exist for Bluray.

That doesn’t account for mass production, fewer people care about physical media with every passing year.

Physical media will still exist, but it won’t be optical. Opticals advantages over cart just don’t exist anymore. You don’t include a $80+ part on the bom when less than 5% of your users want it and that 5% can get a bog standard usb device that can be had for $10


They’re all digital only now. There’s no reason, at all, to have optical drives in consoles. With the advent of direct nvme to video memory you have to load content to the nvme anyway because spinning g plastic sucks soooo much. Today SD is actually cheaper per gb than Blu-ray.

Want to purchase a physical copy? Buy it on a SD card and get a $10 usb SD card reader, which will be compatible with every console anyway.

My prediction will be that the next gen (PS6) will go 100% download only, get shat on then start up a service with gamestop or someone to distro encrypted game installs onto WHATEVER usb media you bring in.


It sure would be nice if the bar was the rational one of “better” but people aren’t rational. It’s literally never going to be good enough, because even if it were perfect it still can’t be used.



Musk is ready to sell freeze peaches by the bushel over on x.


And get a discount for letting the cable company claim they have cable TV to scam money from ESPN.



The engine they’re talking about is the D&D 5e ruleset.


Boy are they gonna be mad when they learn that drones don’t actually stop wildfires.


I wish matrix would catch on too. Basically every non US app is still tied to a damn phone number for auth, so it’s not better than sms for mobility anyway.


EA sure does have a lot of weekend at Bernie’s corpses dancing around for years and years tho.


Why would any game dev care about the platform you play on as long as you purchased the game?


It’s too bad that your friendship isn’t more important than ten minutes of inconvenience for them to install a different app or to give you their actual phone number.



I wish Microsoft would have actually been taught a lesson about anti-trust bullshit rather than having a pro oligarch new administration let them off scot free


Yep, probably a good two hours on a coffee shop wifi. Be sure to drink lots of coffee and leave a nice tip!


PCMR knows what GoG is, console users don’t need to know.

Have fun on ps5 when it releases!


Buy it on gog, head into town and download the installer to a usb stick.


I had a deck for a while and have sold it in favor of the ROG Ally. It requires a lot of work to get its software out of your way but after tearing all of thw asus crap out, including the trash services who’s only purpose is to put their broken ass software back on against the end users’ wishes I’ve got a matching software experience on it.

I just could not give up the vrr screen, it makes the Ally beat out the deck for my uses and none of the $1200+ devices really come close either.


Having a block chain tracker for commodity tokens tied to real value things like kcal of soy/wheat/corn or kwH of power would get us off of fiat debt based currency and avoid the vast majority of the scarcity of precious metals that led to the devils bargain when we sold the entire world economy to the banks.

I’d much rather have values based on actual created value than oligarchy imagination.


Remember that time I got salty because I was using a distro that’s always 10 years out of date and is actively user hostile?


The main problem is they drop $20mil on effects and star faces and fucking spend $20/hr for a fucking committee to write a story in a week that wouldn’t pass a screenwriting 101 course.

The problem with movies and games these days is where the money goes, not how much of it there is.


Nothing of value was lost. With my history on all it shows me is fucking right wing hate and shit I’ve already watched.
