I already play a lot of games that were for PC on my Mac. I've got an RTX 4090 and the PC doesn't really see any gaming except for the nieces playing Beat Saber VR. The Switch and the Mac see far more.
Microsoft is losing globally.
The reality is MS is way too associated with White, Male, Conservative, Christians. Which are toxic now. Globally. It needs to run away from that image and those customers as fast as possible if it wants to stay viable.
I've dealt with a lot of.... let's go with esoteric... shit over the years. But I started my career in the Navy and there's a lot of stuff I can't get into. Those I can. If you know what DISA STIGS are and how everything has to be validated from the hardware through the software you have a...
The games for just the PS3 were the best of that generation in terms of show off ability.
But the CELLBE and BLURAY were included to get them into other markets and that did work well.
Pretty much this. Also plenty of people prefer the older style Zeldas and the cartoonish graphics. It's not just Zelda that does this break. Metroid still has old side scrolling games and also an FPS line. Mario still cranks out side scrollers and also 3d games.
The PS3 was interesting in that it was way ahead of the multicore trend with the CELL/BE. Which was ludicrusly hard to work with as everyone wanted to work with engines and just port to different things and so it couldn't be used. But the few dedicated PS3 games really stood out and by the end...
No it's really good.
Also no.
The "Story Mode" which you have to do should take about two hours if you are at all familiar with Contra. This also unlocks the next three characters. Then there are four more characters to unlock. You do not have to crunch story mode to do this. You can rush...
There were players back even in at height of UT99 and Quake 3 where people using controllers or trackballs were able to keep up with the top ranked pro players of the time to the point of making fools of them. Along the same lines while arcade fight sticks are still the gold standard for...
6 should be remade and I tend to agree on the characters but for one huge issue... Cloud and Seph aren't interesting either. They have great character designs and the game hit at a point where anime and Japanophilia was really taking off in the US and thus did really well. But they weren't...
Cheating is really a PC problem. Shit cheating, cheap games, using a potato computer, and stealing games are the reasons you game on the PC. So, if you are going to stay in the kiddy pool don't complain about the PC piss pool.
Game is fine, it's fun.
SONY still going at it and this is kinda cool

VR did take off and it's doing fine. However PC VR gaming failed hard.
PC VR gaming is a dead end. You need to keep in mind that most PC gaming is done on utterly shit PCs that get curb stomped by consoles into the ground. It's strictly the budget market for the cheap skates of 1080p 60hz...
WRONG.
For the younger generations they don't like that old shit. They are the future. So get that old shit out of here or go bankrupt and go under forever. Now you may not like it, I may not like it, but that old era is done and fucking gone. And the people screaming for it to come back...
Yes and no.
The issue with streaming is you are selling a brand or lifestyle product to people who are into that. The problem is that sort of style is inherently time limited. Online fame is fleeting, gaming faming (especially trying to appeal to the younger demographics) is extremely...
Elon didn't really invent anything either. In the case of Tesla he scooped up a company that already existed and then hype manned the hell out of it and rode subsidies. In the case of SpaceX he scooped up a bunch of engineers who already knew what they were doing and his main role in SpaceX...
This isn't true at all. If you go to Asia or Latin America or Africa PC gaming is very much an internet cafe thing.
It's not just the developing parts of the world. Even in the wealthy parts of Asia that are far more developed than most of the US (outside of the major US cities) people game...
You're one of the few. It was slow, no trick jumping, had squads, reloading, and all sorts of other "not Quake" stuff. It had some interesting moments, but it wasn't Quake.
I liked Quake 4 for what it was, not a Quake game, but I also realize I'm in the minority there.
They could make an...
Doom somewhat had a coherent plot line and continuity in a way Quake never did. Quake is also very divided between those who liked the entire sci-fi body horror aspect of Quake 2 and those who really loved the Eldritch Horror aspect of Quake 1. Then those who just really loved Quake 3 MP...
General rule is the better the graphics the shittier the gameplay. Also demanding moar graphics!!!! is why GPU prices are out of hand and PC gaming is going to end up in the cloud.
OOT wasn't hard either. The original two on the NES were the only ones that could be outright brutal. The SNES and Gameboy ones could be hard at times. Then the difficulty just dropped off the cliff with OOT and you beating it was a free given.
Given that they remade awakening I don't see...
Kinda. But PC is going to run worse for most people in general so should be avoided if possible. Then there is the issue that with, for example, MGS, the psychic fight reading your data card and telling you the games you played was half the fun of it and a key to realizing what was happening.
First we aren't in an economic storm. There is still price gouging going on but real inflation is down, wages are up, gdp is up, the market is up, we are producing jobs at a record rate. This is probably the greatest growth spurt since FDR.
Second this isn't for most people. The MS holo...
I still keep around an old 22in and 19in (NECs) for various things. The image quality, colors, motion, blacks are really something that even OLED hasn't hit fully yet. And if you fire up say Quake 3 or Quake 1, something really fast with high contrast, and play it on a CRT and then play it on...
It's more than that. Really when talking combos you are talking (in order of difficulty) auto combo, dial a combo, targets, cancels, chains, links. Leaving auto combo out of this MK operates of dial a combo with vastly noobed up inputs compared to other games. It takes no skill at all to...
The key with most of these is finding your group of like minded people. Online match making is a mess.
It is, and isn't, worth caring about. In the case of fighters MKs absurdly low skill ceiling and lack of any sort of real complexity means it fires off big and then dies off rapidly and gets...
Kinda. They do have a fighter tournament, several in fact. MK usually makes it only right after a new one is released. Then all the top players from other games storm in and curb stomp the MK community cause the game is stupidly simple and easy compared to others. Then it gets pulled off...
Oh I agree entirely. MK has never been competitive or taken an ounce of skill. It's always been a joke, that took itself as a joke, it's better for that. Not everyone is Capcom or SNK that can pull hits and misses on competitive play with more hits than misses and even then the misses are bad...
Most peoples PCs are going to run the Demons Souls remake or a BB remaster shittier than the PS5 will so there is no rush on this. If they are going to do it, and they probably shouldn't, take the time and wait a few generations till the average PC catches up to a modern console.
They won't and they can't really. MK has, for better and worse, never been as technical or skill based as the other 2D fighters. That's not a knock on it. They've just always done shit their way and focused on spectacle over skill. Most of the attempts to skill it up have ended very badly...
Struck me as odd as well as I've plenty of issues with shitty PC versions of games but I've never had an issue with a Capcom game. They always seemed to have their shit together.
Capcom has also always been good with fighters as going back to SF4 their arcade hardware by Taito was a core 2 duo...
