Thats right, but on the other hand they were pushed into making a statement because everybody is attacking them online.

Things are getting spicy. According to Krafton, the executive devs that they fired had abandoned the project after receiving the payout for selling the company and were focusing on other things.

DK’s age, why Pauline is 13

Why are people so obsessed with connecting this game to some weird timeline

They disclosed it many times and have talked about that video often, it doesn’t affect their content. I didn’t like it either but acting like they’re not trustworthy because of one time they were sponsored is dumb

Possibly the dumbest take I’ve ever seen on this site, are you saying an article objectively comparing the performance of two handhelds is “an attempt to pat a multi billion dollar company on the back”?

articles like these seem quite pointless to anyone who doesn’t already own a switch 2.

“Performance comparisons are pointless if the results aren’t what I like”, I’m sure if the steam deck performed a lot better you would be in the comments singing praises for it. Digital foundry have been comparing performance for many years but suddenly now their findings are worthless.

Nintendo aren’t the ones who set the price

I think it defaults to opening the dungeon map when you’re in one now rather than opening the world map, so yes.

About time they fixed the difficulty settings, this was bothering me for a long time. I hope the performance fixes are noticeable but otherwise this is a great update.

They did rebalance solo play to make it easier but it will always be more difficult because bosses were made with co-op in mind.

I can -sort of- understand cancelling games that have been in development hell but it’s insane than they cancelled the Perfect Dark remake. It looked very far along when they showed it last year.

This whole article is dumb because this is the same as it ever was with Switch 1. Resold switches could be banned from online play, how is this unique to the Switch 2? If you’re going to buy used, go for a reputable source.

“And here’s the thing — maybe it will work,” she added. “Xbox has a deep portfolio. [Oblivion Remastered] was obviously a huge success, and they can continue to outsource that work to external companies and make a lot of money releasing their older games — older games from an era when Xbox knew how to build them.”

Shots fired. Despite Microsoft constantly claiming Xbox is here to stay and they’re working on the next console, it’s very clear they’re trying to transition off hardware back into Windows so they don’t lose that too since Linux is dominating the handheld market. Even if they do make a new console, theyll put as much effort into it as the Xbox One.

Great post, but I have to stop you with this one:

Basically, every metroidvania-style Castlevania game had Iga’s involvement. All of them are good, all of them have the same level of quality, and I can barely remember the difference between any of them.

Aria and Dawn of sorrow are leagues above the other ones. If you’re only going to play one of these in the handheld era, it ought to be those two.

Switch 2 barely has any new games save for the newest Mario Kart and the upcoming Donkey Kong game.

If money is an issue I would just recommend buying a used/refurbished Switch 1. They’re going for fairly cheap and most of the library is virtually the same. Most of the first-party games and indies run well on it.

that said I’ve been trying to load my steam wishlist for like an hour now.

Me too. It’s the usual steam servers having issues as soon as a sale starts.

It depends, a lot of modern AAA games run fine but a good amount of them are very unoptimized and run poorly on the Deck.

Valve said not to expect a hardware refresh soon since newer chips are more expensive and not that much faster, just look at the handheld PCs selling for ~$900 that are only 25% faster.

There are plenty of benchmarks online so you can check if the games you want will work properly or not.

I don’t think even Kojima knows what’s happening anymore

It’s funny in hindsight because before this game released there were so many armchair analysts saying it would be dead on arrival. Good for them.
