@alyx when I do this it's usually because I realize I've rambled for the majority of it lol, or that I really don't care what they're going to say back to me so I decide it isn't worth it

@matrix the worst offender here is probably Adobe, the fact you HAVE to pay monthly for their products instead of being able to just buy them like you used to be able to do is really shitty. They aren't hosting live services or anything, they're just relatively small software bundles. Fuck Adobe, there's a reason everyone just pirates their shit unless they get it for free or a huge discount from their work or school.

@matrix some of these are necessary evils. Servers have to be paid for somehow. Some of these are just good for convenience too, for instance I pay monthly for music because it's much more cost effective than buying every album that comes out that I want to listen to.

But then you have Nintendo Online that only gets a pass because it's really cheap. $20/year isn't too bad, but you do get what you pay for lol. NSO sucks cock.

You can't really expect someone to pay for all of this though, especially all of the individual movie/TV show services, so that's why piracy is just fine :meru_tea:

@lina @alyx @matrix back when all the teenage girls were making shitty covers of it and everyone gave them shit

@matrix I thought this was gonna be one of those videos where everyone dies

@matrix then you get to the actual levels and that's not really a problem anymore. It's dense and snappy. It feels like two completely different games merged with each other. I wonder if I could just cheat my way through the open world stuff and play the levels.

That's why the sonic unleashed mod for generations is awesome, it takes just the fast paced levels from unleashed and lets you play them in the generations engine. No stupid werehog shit.

But yeah for the open world, I always think it looks like a bad halo forge map and the "puzzles" are all lame. It seems like a lot of filler content to get to the good stuff, and that's a problem a lot of open world games have in general imo.

you know, the actual levels in sonic frontiers look pretty fun. i just hate the open world aspect.

>IRRESPECTIVE OF GENRE OR PLATFORM

>4/5 games are Nintendo exclusives

@fightknightHERO @WashedOutGundamPilot i remember when mcdonald's used to have N64s and Gamecubes in the playland, we'd go and play smash bros there against totally random kids, was a fun time.

RT this pic if you are on an instance where fun things are fun.

@xianc78 oh yeah i'm just talkin about the windows versions haha. but it could have still been written in assembly then, idk, just assumed it was C because that makes sense.

but yeah i'd be using the same plugin, which does render stuff in 3D, but it would kind of be like the phantasy star thing, just more detail. without thinking about it too much, my first thought would be like in the horror game i'll be making, some chase or hiding sequences that briefly go into first person to make things tense. something along those lines.

straight facts 

@WolfJay bruh this meme is from 2018 😂

are game consoles not allowed to have sequels from the previous console? or ports? or cross gen releases? the ps5 has all of those things.

nearly every playstation exclusive game that exists on ps5 is either a remaster/port or a sequel.

but since 2018 the switch's exclusives have been stuff like astral chain, an expansion to mario 3d world, a shit load of mario kart 8 tracks and more coming, animal crossing, two fire emblems, link's awakening remake, luigi's mansion 3, two mario party games, METROID DREAD, mario strikers/tennis, bayonetta 3, kirby forgotten land (which was amazing), cadence of hyrule and there is another full zelda game coming soon too.

on this list, you have one cross gen release, five enhanced ports, four sequels, and two new games. the amount of exclusive games for the console weighs out the ports, so this meme fails even by its own merit.

right now, with a longer PS5 lifespan than the switch did at this time, you have a pretty similar story. uncharted 4 and last of us 2 are both ports (neither of which are getting any content updates like most of the switch ports have). god of war is a cross release. ratchet and clank is a sequel to a remake. there are only five exclusive games to the ps5 itself, compared to the switch's six in this meme alone (there were other ones like 1-2 switch, snipperclips, arms, xenoblade chronicles 2, and others).

also this is a bit of a strawman, nobody thought the wii u games were bad, it's just that everyone thought that the console itself was lame and you didn't need that second screen (as evidenced by them being ported to switch). they released a lot of the same games because the wii u didn't sell well so it was a bit hard to get your hands on these games, so it gave people the opportunity to grab the games and get a little bit of extra content (or a LOT of content if we're talking about mario kart 8).

the ps5 on the other hand, is the next generation to one of the highest selling consoles of all time. ports of ps4 games are theoretically less necessary, because it's the same game you've probably played before but the resolution and frame rate are higher. as opposed to just never being able to play it at all, and then porting it to a new console that's very popular and adding content on top of that.

coming from the perspective of a PC player mainly, the PS5 genuinely doesn't really have anything I want to play and so i haven't felt the need to get one. i got a switch because i like the games on it, namely smash ultimate and the fact i can mod the hell out of it. i could do it on PC now, in 2022, but there are still some concessions to be made so that's why i keep my switch around. i have a ps4 pro, and most stuff is still coming out on ps4 so if i wanted to play it i could definitely still get it there but i'm just not a huge fan.

it's cool if you aren't a huge fan of nintendo, but really dude your console war behavior is pretty ignorant and it makes you look a bit stupid. you're at the point of being a hypocrite and that's not too cool :P
