Unpopular opinion: Nintendo is overrated and is no longer innovation.
I haven’t bought anything Nintendo in years… but I can’t lie, that open world mario kart game looks sick.
Quite a popular opinion actually.
There’s even websites like https://www.suedbynintendo.com/
Huh. I guess it’s not as unpopular as it once was. I’m glad to see that.
Never was. Nintendo 64 was developed at SGI and sold to Nintendo after turned down by others.
The steam deck is way better anyways!
I’m dancing happily into the €20 game era with my Steam Deck.
I paid like $70 for FF 7 remake pack (two titles) on Steam. Even then I felt like they could optimize the graphics algorithm a tiny bit (I don’t want them to swap the texture frequently to a poorer resolution one just because the GPUs from 7 years ago (on PlayStation?) had less VRAM.
I’m done buying games from these corporate fux.
Only indie games for me from now on.
Last 2 triple A games I’ve bought (Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Civ 7) have both been awful. Meanwhile I spend 15 on a game like Roboquest and play it for 30 hours.
The last triple A I bought was on a big sale because it’s long past its release date. Mostly ignoring modern ones, the only one I have wanted was BG3 which I am fully happy playing the many years waiting game for because I have so many other games to play first. c/patientgamers
Oh yeah I bought BG3 on release. Now that is a good game. All other AAA are held to that standard imo. Looking forward to the update with all the new specs.
I’m happy that I bought Baldurs Gate 3, but otherwise I didn’t buy anything and I am happy about that too.
You said that last time too 😛
Bringing you, maybe. I’m out ✌️ I’m not giving into the inevitable pre-planned reduction from 80/90 to 70/80, either.
Can’t remember the last time i payed full price for a game.
But i don’t buy into the Nintendo ecosystem anyway, sodeleted by creator
I’ll start by saying I loved Nintendo games. But I think I’m done. They can offer the games at $80, but I will pass. Oh well.
Same boat. I love my switch. Their direct said all the right things. New Mario kart looks great. I have faith meteoid and that new dk game will be fun. But the pricing makes it a no go. There’s just no way I’m going to pony up that much for one game.
lol not for me, thnx
I haven’t paid full price for a game since I bought my Steam Deck.
Sorry Nintendo - it’s going to be a hard pass for me. I think I can live without Mario Cart for $80
Hardly kicking and screaming when you can just turn away.
My game purchases this year have all been under £10. Last year the most expensive was Factorio: Space Age which I bought directly from their site. Most of my playtime this year has been in FOSS games and a few small indies like Soldak games.
Remember: $80 from the big companies is only the starting price given the various editions and other monetization schemes they may push.
Also the scale and technical demands of their games, and thus their cost, have in large part been pushed by them, despite their attempts to turn it around and say it’s all organic consumer demand.
No thanks, I’m good with my Analogue Pocket and Steamdeck.
laughs in PC
Chuckles in Steam Deck
lol in free giveaway and cheap bundles
You think Steam games won’t follow console prices?
I can currently get AC Shadows (just an example of a new game, I don’t want it) on PS5 (physical) for a few £ less than it is on Steam. They’ve gone from like £40 a few years ago to £60. As standard.
gg.deals
New steam games may have $80 price tags at some point, but most of them will end up on that site for a fraction of the price after some time. Nintendo titles might go down to $70 after a decade.
Ah c’mon man, that’s just not true.
Nintendo games will be $90 after a decade.
Steam games do go on sale eventually, but the best deals are often not even on Steam any more. I’ve got like >1000 games on Steam but most are from Humble Bundle before they went to complete shit.
That’s true. I should’ve specified i use gg.deals to look for sales from 3rd party websites. Green man gaming is a pretty good one that often has $5-$10 off of new titles.
Don’t like the price, don’t buy it. Don’t feed the hype. Play through your games. Mod it. Try a diferent path, a new class, a diferent character. Try indie games.
Corporations feed on the needs they create on you. Starve them.
