I'm glad this conversation is happening because I hate Black Mirror for this. Everything that happens is the worst possible outcome. The ideas and situations are great, but actually watching it is a slog. Pessimism porn is the perfect designation.
It's just bold-faced BS. Variable pricing to match the experience would give us games like Princess Peach Showtime or Thousand Year Door for $20-$40. They're just keeping the $60 baseline and charging $10-$20 more when they feel they can get away with it.
Yeah I'm just going to stick on Win 10 for a while. Apparently the enterprise version is getting support for longer so maybe I'll see if I can get on that.
Yup. I want to play Prime 4 and DK Bananza at some point. I don't need to play them day 1, but I'll want to play them eventually. And I'll want to play the inevitable Pikmin 5 and Smash Bros 6.
I think most people are more upset about Nintendo pushing an $80 price tag for first party games. TotK put a bad taste in a lot of peoples' mouths, but it was both a technical marvel and highly anticipated. People were beyond hyped about the game years before we learned about the increased price.
Mario Kart World was announced out of the blue, and while it looks like a ton of fun, it's not the same kind of 'I would be disappointed if I didn't play it before I died' as TotK. So a further bump in price for it just feels awful.
I know it's expensive though, and I emulated Pokemon Sword to play a co-op randomized Nuzzlock with friends. So no doubt there will be a Sw2 emulation scene. But I'm not sure a $250 laptop will even get you the same performance with emulation.
Not always the case as with the swift price drop for the 3DS. Depends on what sales look like for the Switch 2. Maybe we'll get an OLED version for $500 or something. But my gaming plate is pretty full, and I may just power through Prime 4 on Switch.
I'm personally very excited for Prime 4, DK Bananza, and Hyrule Warriors Imprisoning War, as well as F-Zero GX getting released from the vault. Maybe not hyped enough to pay day 1 prices though
At the start of the presidency, I determined that my personal Rubicon was "Rounding up trans people into camps" (prompted by this video). I expected outrageous deportations, monstrous as they are. But after the line is crossed, I won't just be protesting.
