no it’s the customers. though once we ridiculed Bethesda for horse armor, people now fork over 20, 40, 100 dollars for a fucking skin. I’m sorry is an overwatch skin supposed to be worth a third of a full game? yeah I bet it took two years to develop it.
People get abaolutely addicted to mtx, and at this point, you’d have to societally treat mtx, and legally regulate mtx like cigarettes, to actually address the problem.
Todd may have… invented the potion, or uncorked the bottle… but way, way too many people just keep gulping it down.
The Nintendo fanboys/girls are the real, true, ‘winners’ of the console wars mindset, the last holdouts.
Almost nobody really gives a shit anymore to tie their personalities to Sony or MSFT… because basically, console exclusives don’t really exist, and almost everything is on PC as well.
But Nintendo? Nope. The company still holds a death grip on their inhouse titles being exclusive to their consoles, and the nostalgia/stolckhom syndrome is apparently the strongest with the Nintendo crowd.
It took almost a decade for people to finally be able to admit that GameFreak is basically incompetent. You could not say that even 5 years ago w/o a deluge of insults and arguments and special pleading.
The cope is strong with these ones, Nintendo would never hurt them without a good reason for doing so.
Exclusives sadly still exist and it bums me out a game is available on Console X but not on Y. Some of those I could buy for my PC, but I prefer playing on my comfy couch instead of the PC in my home office.
Then it becomes spite, and I stop buying the studios games altogether (looking at you, Square Enix)
1: I agree that the remaining exclusives are still annoying, but it is quite a far cry from the 00s and early 10s, where … with some notable exceptions, basically only shovelware corpo IP slop was not console exclusive, and the norm was largely based on picking a console for a its game library as a huge factor, as almost everything super popular/good was exclusive.
2: You… know you can set up some kind of streaming box or other wireless solution from your PC to your living room TV, right?
I used to just carry my rig into the living room and hardwire connect it to my TV for certain occasions… now there are many ways to just do that wirelessly.
I rocked a multi monitor set up that also included the TV in my room for a while as well, all hardwired, would just set up the TV as an optional 3rd monitor to put on movies and lounge on my bed.
There may be more effective solutions to that, but that gets complicated fast depending on a lot of technical factors, layout of your home, budget constraints, etc.
BT would work if my PC was in range, then the input would be fast, but still the added image latency makes micro adjustments pain since you see them late, still.
Running a DP cable instead of streaming would fix that, but you’d need a converter to transform into HDMI for the TV.
That all sounds about right, yeah, a DisplayPort cable would work… but basically yeah, there aren’t many (any?) TVs that have DP … ports, and a long DP cable can be fairly pricey…
A … relatively cheap wireless solution might work if you dropped the resolution down to 2K or 1080, but it sounds like you’re going for 4k?
But Im just spitballing, sounds like you know your setup and have looked into this.
Using 1080 to minimize latency already. Can play lesurely platformers, but even playing arcade racing games like Wreckfest, you just lose all feel for the car since tapping the controller applies the change with too much delay.
Hardwiring would be the only way. That’s why I’m gonna build a steam os pc for the living room once it’s feasible.
I mean, yes, but you need a … fairly out of comparable price range to a console, pc, to be able to emulate … most wiiU forward games? depending on specific game, your definition of a playable frame rate?
I was trying to mostly focus on the ‘console wars’ aspect of the whole thing, and how official releases that were console exclusives a decade ago on an Xbox or PS… basically those all just come out on PC a few years later now, though there are a few exceptions to this, I think.
Bringing emulation into the discussion makes the comparison exceptionally complicated, because PCs vary so much, in so many ways, and of course the legal … dark gray area, and how its often considerably more complicated than just plug and play.
Pay to use hardware button that offers 10 FPS pre-skype era fidelity is totally a good thing to show off, and Nintendo has totally never been the only company to notoriously harass, litigate, and shutdown mods, tournaments, homebrew. emulators, fan projects, and literally anyone who so much as so glances at their Intellectual Property.
The amount of bootlickers I’m starting to see in Nintendo’s YouTube comments is pathetic
Same for AC Shadows. “You don’t have to buy the cosmetics!” Motherfucker every single bit of content should be in a game that you paid full price for.
Its Todd’s fault.
Fucking horse armor.

1: Ah, I didn’t do any console gaming from around 2009 to 2015, didn’t realize it was that bad
2: Works for some games. I play lots of driving and fast paced games, and the input latency from streaming just plain makes them unplayable.
Ah, true, thats fair, with the input latency.

HDMI over long distance doesn’t work.

Nintendo titles are on PC. See: emulation.

I’m holding out to see what Mario Odyssey 2 looks like, because I’m a sucker for Mario games.
They are the equivalent of Disney Adult

Utterly delusional
It’s funny you guys think these are actual fans and not bots bought through a marketing campaign
You’ve never noticed before? This ain’t a new argument
And in the Nintendo communities
The amount of angry gamer nerds is even more pathetic.
