Neon White: A parkour FPS puzzle game where you cards are your weapons

Rollerdrome: Best way I've heard is described is: Doom x Tony Hawk

I don't think Nintendo has really cared much about graphics since the gamecube era. They realized that people buy their consoles for the games not the graphics

I doubt they would make the console significantly more expensive by adding a GPU that most people wouldn't really care much about

Same. Those comments are coming from a place of privilege.

A lot of people in a first world country can't afford splurges like that anymore. In third world countries it's even worse. Because of import fees, scarcity, and price gauging, a $60 SSD can easily become $100+. In some countries that's over half of the average monthly income

I get what you're saying but there are ways to implement it in the gameplay with prompts, descriptions and dialogue.

I love a lot of the games I'm criticizing, but sometimes they go too far. I'll pick up the fart machine 3000 and the description will just say "Butt Fart Pfffft Toot Toot" and I'm just kinda left like wtf and i have to close the game and go into the wiki to see what the hell i just picked up and if its worth the inventory space

I don't have an exact answer, but there are a lot of games that you need the wiki up on your second monitor for. Their tutorials teach you the basic controls, but nothing about what you're supposed to do or anything like that.

I feel it's kinda lazy on the developer's side and leave it to the community to do their job. You see a 5-10 min video on youtube explaining everything, yet the developer couldn't do that?

I really wish it was ported to PC. It looks like a lot of fun

Lmao wow so defensive. Haven't seen this type of behaviour since I left reddit

My best guess would be the development cost. I guess they created the app as a business, not for/by the community.

I don't blame them, but I also won't support them. I'll just keep supporting lemmy/jerboa instead. I don't have absolutely anything against sync, but I generally don't like supporting that business model and trust open source a little more.

I didn't know sync was that expensive though lol

[-] Limeaide@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago

I've never used Sync before, but something worth noting is that it isn't open source, and there are ads and in app purchases according to the google store page

To me, having an SD card with DRM free games is even better than physical copies for switch and such. I've bought switch games before that aren't actually on the cartridge and you have to download a bunch of stuff to get it running.

Not only that, but files can easily be transferred and copied wherever you'd like.

Idk if that's an issue on ps5 and xbox

This is a great time to also be introduced to the patient gamer movement lol

Most games that have come out recently have had their fair share of issues. I like to skip all of those games and instead play older titles that have already been patched, have a definitive edition, and are much cheaper

I can't remember the last game that I bought on release and tbh it has saved me a lot of time and money. Usually when I start seeing video essays about a game is when I start thinking about getting it lol

It all comes down to personal preference though. I don't mind missing out on initial hype even if it can be exciting to experience the community discovering new things all at once. Sometimes bashing on the developers/publishers as a community can be just as fun lmao

It honestly seems like some sort of virus going around. It has affected people I know, strangers I see on the street, CEOs, celebrities, comedians, etc.

People have just lost their common sense and are more likely to believe the impossible than the improbably. More likely to act out of spite than the interests of society as a whole, or even their own self interest.

Not sure if it was COVID, the internet, media, or idk what else, but people like Elon are popping up left and right. It's crazy and I don't even have the words to describe it.
