  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.

      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.

        … You’re right.

        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.

  The cope is strong with these ones.

    Exclusives sadly still exist and it bums me out a game is available on Console X but not on Y. Some if those I can buy for my PC, but I prefer playing on my comfy couch instead of the PC in my home office.

      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.

        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.

    Nintendo titles are on PC. See: emulation.

    • sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      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.

    I’m holding out to see what Mario Odyssey 2 looks like, because I’m a sucker for Mario games.

  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.

  Utterly delusional
