  • Sounds like skill issue to be honest

    Seeing this crop up as a semi-frequent response before the game is even out yet isn’t really selling me on it. I definitely see myself as skill-challenged, so it sounds like I won’t like the game much and anyone I end up playing with probably wouldn’t like me much either.

  • In the article there's a testimony from someone who doesn't normally like shooters being into this game. That actually kind of speaks to me, but I'm convinced that's because the general public still doesn't have access to the game yet. Once people start getting crazy competitive on this, it won't be fun anymore.

  • To ride this special car, you must agree to not open the windows.

    Expectation: No? Okay, then I cannot allow you to ride this special car.

    Valve: nope? Okay well get in anyway... Whaaat you opened the windows? Wtf?

    Not saying the verge writer was or wasn't behaving like an entitled child. In fact, I'm inclined to think he was, but It's irrelevant. Valve made a goof. (Gasp!)

    I could care less what valve does in response. They could blacklist the verge entirely and I probably wouldn't even know. I just wonder if people only care because it's valve.

  • Does Microsoft get a cut of all pc games sold? Do all pc games play on Xbox consoles?

    I don’t think any of it matters, I’m just stating things as I see it. Microsoft wants profits, the examples I listed before have not been as profitable as probably predicted, so they are trying to make it up by selling older exclusives to eager PS customers. Sony sending exclusives to Xbox probably isn’t seen as profitable to Sony, so maybe they won’t do it.

  • I am more inclined to think they are just selling to other platforms because they have to after dropping so much money on Activision, Bethesda, and trying to keep games pass a decent value proposition.

    Granted, I think selling multi platform is a good move and I hope they stick with it, but I think the PS5 is trouncing the Xbox enough worldwide that even without a whole lot of first party games, PlayStation has no real obligation to throw Xbox any bones in kind. PC ports seem to be enough.

  • I got the steam deck to play older games and games that aren’t on my console of choice.

    None of the games I play have given me any trouble, but I find myself starting each new game with a ritual of performance optimization tweaks. It could be anything from adjusting graphical settings to capping frame rates to changing the default resolution scaling, and sometimes I’ll revisit these during my playthrough. It doesn’t bother me all that much, but playing on a proper console is less hassle.
