- Comment on Switch 2 Tutorial Game Welcome Tour Costs $10, Nintendo Explains Why It's Not a Free Console Pack-In - IGN 1 day ago:
Makes sense, but if it’s only $10 it should just be free. Not worth the bad PR and they should want this game in as many hands as possible.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con may have the same stick drift problem as original Switch 1 day ago:
They’re not even out yet and they redesigned the entire stick. Stop throwing a fit about every little thing ffs
- Comment on Thoughts on Mario Kart World 5 days ago:
“for all ages” and “for kids” are two different things. People still don’t understand this.
- Comment on The Switch 2 Rollout Was So Convoluted It Made Us Want A Steam Deck. 5 days ago:
You’re overreacting to other people’s social media overreactions. I’m talking about the actual products they sell.
- Comment on Thoughts on Mario Kart World 5 days ago:
Everything I want is “sometime in 2025”, not launch day. It looks good though.
- Comment on The Switch 2 Rollout Was So Convoluted It Made Us Want A Steam Deck. 5 days ago:
Nintendo is basically like Apple at this point, the brand is enough to convince people to spend more than they would for the competition, regardless of quality.
People spend more on Apple/Nintendo because of quality
- Comment on First-party Switch 2 games—including re-releases—all run either $70 or $80 5 days ago:
Am I the only one who doesn’t care about this? We’ll wait for the 33% nintendo sales and fill the rest of the year with 3rd party 80% sales like always

???
No it wasn’t
- Comment on Best game ever? 2 weeks ago:
FFXIV, but this doesn’t mean anything because it’s dependent on what genres you like.
Most historically significant? Mario 1, FF4, FF7, Minecraft, Dark Souls, etc.
- Comment on Big Rigs, the infamous truck racing game, is coming to Steam this year 2 weeks ago:
It’s preserving history!
- Comment on Minecraft is getting a visual overhaul you probably don't need because of all of those mods you've got installed 2 weeks ago:
What a shitty title. Consoles will be happy to get this

Trog
- Comment on ARK DLC Trailer Slammed For Being Made Entirely Through Gen AI 2 weeks ago:
Good AI art should be completely invisible, like when romcom movies with “no CG” are actually changing the entire sky and no one realizes. People were able to spot the flaws here instantly.
- Comment on PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us now 3 weeks ago:
People don’t get bored of playing Basketball because they want Basketball 2

I got that bundle at 95% off and it took me 2 years to finish. It was awesome
- Comment on Saints Row reboot developer "didn't know what they were building", Saber CEO says, criticising shuttered team 3 weeks ago:
I love SR 3 and 4. But with SR2022 costing twice as much as FF16 it makes sense why it had to be this way
- Comment on Forza Horizon 5 Will Require a Microsoft Account to Play on PS5 4 weeks ago:
They make a good ergo keyboard (this is the only nice thing I can think of)
- Comment on The Simple Act of Buying a Graphics Card Is the Defining Misery of PC Gaming in 2025 4 weeks ago:
Same here, have never owned a graphics card in my life. When I occasionally do want a modern game I don’t need it at 120FPS with max settings.
- Comment on Gaming has a polarization problem 4 weeks ago:
With recent big game releases, it’s become obvious that a game is either a resounding success, or complete shit. There doesn’t seem to be any middle ground.
You’re saying this from a player opinion perspective which is accurate, but it’s also interesting that companies act the same way. If your game doesn’t make 10 zillion dollars there’s a good chance that your entire company gets shut down.
- Comment on Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing 4 weeks ago:
rip discord
- Comment on suggest me some games!! 4 weeks ago:
Try new genres, you’ll get bored of gaming if you stick to GTA adjacent things for your whole life.
- Comment on UnleashedRecomp: A static recompilation of the Xbox 360 version of Sonic Unleashed 5 weeks ago:
Great, but why this game? It was never even one of the top sonic games
- Comment on Are modern Final Fantasy games bad? 5 weeks ago:
The period from 13-2 through 14 1.0, imo they are objectively bad. But aside from that no. They’re held to a higher standard so a FF that’s only a B+ is seen as a catastrophe.

Audio companies sell headsets with mics too
- Comment on PlayStation 5 headset recommendations (Pulse Elite suck) 1 month ago:
Never buy “gaming” audio gear. Audio is the same no matter what you use it for. Buy something in the $100 price range marketed for audio production. Sennheiser is usually good.
- Comment on Evidence For A Persona 4 Remake Is Mounting Up Thanks To Singer Shihoko Hirata 1 month ago:
iirc sega recently decided that persona and yakuza have to release once game per year. They just hide it well since half of them are remakes or optional sidegames
- Comment on Favourite Metroid game? 1 month ago:
Going to use this thread to shoutout AM2R which is just as good as Nintendo quality. It also has a great Prime-style OST in a 2d game which none of the other games had done before.
- Comment on After Years of Struggling To Be Noticed, My Indie Game Was Covered By VICE 1 month ago:
(fuck nazis, but) bro you are 10000% too deep into this. It’s just an operating system
- Comment on Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles for iOS shuts down over "unfixable bug" 1 month ago:
I’ve never known SE to have infamously bad code except for when the first started doing pc ports. 13-1 and 13-2 were bad but 13-3 has a good reputation.
- Comment on Xbox Sales Hit Rock Bottom After Historic 2024 Decline 1 month ago:
Just get a switch, the entire crisis about this gen causing a second industry crash is nonexistent over there. We got like six new games for xmas this year
