The game was fine since release, just buggy like other CDPR titles. Witcher 3 wasn't exactly very good at launch but they fixed it and re-released with all the DLC.

It shouldn't have been released on PS4 and XBone and I think the reception would've been better.

Then make a fancy drink coaster.

I don't play any games with battle passes.

They're impossible for me to finish in the limited amount of time given unless that is the only game I play.

And I DO NOT like the feeling of having to get something done by X date, I get enough of that at work.

That's what made me stop playing most MP games in general.

Meta this, meta that, find the most efficient ways to do things and stick to that.

Even first person shooters are going that way...

I like my sense of wonder and adventure in video games and that's gone from most multiplayer now.

The key should still work on Steam. And people still play CSS.

Cartridges of that era also use computer chips and have batteries and other electrical components. That would've been a large cost in producing games.

The CD era lowered production costs from dollars to literal cents.

Then digital distribution lowered that cost even further.

Yes. In the 10 minute gameplay demo. Same world but with many changes we don't have time to cover today, we hope you explore and go see for yourself, or something along those lines.

7, REmake2, 3, 4, and Village all share tons of things if you look closely enough. Bolt cutters, and lockers the two most obvious.

But they dress everything up and create enough new models to make things unique.

They've been developing the game for 5-6 years. AND they're reusing assets???

If it was a smaller studio I'd think trouble. But because it's Nintendo I think, "This is going to be amazing, imagine how much time they had to polish things and add that Nintendo charm!"

See Capcom farting out amazing game after amazing game in Resi Evil reusing assets and everything.

It's a Play Anywhere title on XBox so you get cloud saves and PC/XBox version in the same purchase.

That's why I have a digital version. My physical copy is sealed.

Doing the same for Zelda TotK. Have my digital copy pre-ordered using Nintendo Vouchers and got my order in for physical collection copy as well. I have a sealed copy of every Zelda game ever made except 1 and 2 which I just have the NES carts for.

The amount of copies ensures nostalgia. Sealed copies are wanted by nostalgic collectors that want their childhood with cash to burn.

Lots of those old games are $50-$100. But if it's factory sealed now someone is willing to pay $500-$1000.

Sealed copies of Prime for GC can get like $800.

Ever Oasis out would probably be right up your alley with that list.

Keep one sealed and give it 15 years or so. That'll be one of the ones that go for more than they sold. Like the GC version of Prime.

I'm still using a 1080p television and 1080p monitors from like 2010-2012 or something.

It works, games still look great to me. I'm not upgrading until the TV dies lol. Ray tracing, from what I've seen of it, is a resounding "meh" to me.

But you don't have to play them all and each one can be played by itself.

1 introduces it all.

2 is an entirely separate scenario and you really don't need to understand what happened in 1. It adds to Claire's backstory, but the ingame documents tell you what you need to know. If you want the details then go play 1.

And same with 3. It's all about Nemesis. The mansion doesn't really matter unless you want to know the details of Jill before that game.

It shares an overarching mythos, but you can play the games in any order because they focus on their individual storyline above all else and will fill you in on details you need to know in the documents.

No. The story is pretty cheesy and bad and each game is mostly standalone and doesn't require knowledge of the others to enjoy.

It's worth playing through all of them because they're good games though.

Dark Souls

S.T.A.L.K.E.R has a dedicated modding community. There's even multiple full game overhauls with AI improvements and everything.

Hoping STALKER 2 later this year has the same capabilities.

Not multiplayer tho.

Monster Hunter.

I keep trying to give them a chance, I don't know why.......... But then I hit all this online multiplayer co-op stuff and I lose interest.

I don't like online co-op, and tend not to buy any games with a focus on it. It's just not fun exploring PvE environments with another person pressuring you to keep going. But Monster Hunter tricks me every few years.

The Switch Lite is the cheapest model and it is HANDHELD ONLY.

The regular Switch and OLED Switch can be played handheld or connected to the TV. The only big difference between these two is the screen quality in handheld mode. OLED is better but more $$.

Get some extra controllers and a screen protector (because kid).

Nintendo is a fantastic choice for kid friendly games.

It's a licensed super hero game selling for full price using battle passes and looter shooter mechanics so they can extend grinding time of the playerbase in the hopes that they buy the battle pass. While at the same time nuking single player, which the studio is known for.

I'm betting there will be daily quests too.

It's basically just another Borderlands/Destiny clone but worse.

Like the old days of all the WoW clones but worse.

XC2 is waifu bait anime trash. But 1 and 3 aren't lol.

Persona 5, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, and Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
