Acceptable doesn't mean good tho. Even with Elden Ring on Deck the difference between 40 vs 30 is day and night. 30 is basically unplayable for long periods of time imo and there are so many similar big action games these days that 30 is just an awful experience at this point outside of selective genres. The fact that these consoles still push 30 is wrong. It should have long been banned internally.Eh, I think you are being a bit unfair to him. I played BOTW on the Switch, and for the most part it was ok. Nothing amazing, but on a small screen, when it's locked to 30 and the frame times are consistent, it's not a huge issue. Now, blow it up to a huge OLED screen, and yeah, that's painful, but I don't think it's fair to say, and I'm sure Cerny did not mean it, that 30 can never lead to acceptable results under the right circumstances. Plenty of times I lock stuff to 30 on my Deck.
Well would you look at that, Crew 2 is getting an offline modeThe Crew 2 - Standard Edition is 98% off:
Great deal, but you can't help but wonder when the servers will eventually shut down.
I wonder how the "PC is too expensive" crowd is doing?
They're driving Uber as a second job in order to be able to afford a console.I wonder how the "PC is too expensive" crowd is doing?

Plug and play. That's always been there appeal.If consoles are moving away from affordability then literally for what reason do they exist?
PCs and consoles have never been closer in this regard thoughPlug and play. That's always been there appeal.
Yeah the only reason I only play on console is because having a pc is way out of my reachIf consoles are moving away from affordability then literally for what reason do they exist?
"But the price of a 4090!..."
Until PC is exactly the same in terms of ease of use or better, they will use that as a point towards console. Doing a small amount of work to get a controller to work or whatever is a 'hassle' to people even though the benefit substantial.PCs and consoles have never been closer in this regard though
Well with MS soon being out of the competition, Sony will soon realize they can do whatever the fuck they want. Console game is gonna be more costly than ever very quickly.Yeah the only reason I only play on console is because having a pc is way out of my reach
Even if Microsoft was in a better position the console would not have been much cheaper, everything was already shooting up in price and the inability to shrink the chips is part of it That doesn't change the fact that the price is wild. i mean there's a reason why the base ps5 and the series X went up in price.Well with MS soon being out of the competition, Sony will soon realize they can do whatever the fuck they want.

I still have my steam deck, but yeah there would be much less gaming for me.Well with MS soon being out of the competition, Sony will soon realize they can do whatever the fuck they want. Console game is gonna be more costly than ever very quickly.
If world wasn't this f-ed up sure but with many people getting less money Sony won't get much. If I remember correctly PS5 is already tracking behind PS4, there is no price cut to increase sales, there are less big 1st party games... so in my opinion Sony is not in that much better position. We are already seeing consequences of higher prices of Sony products in Japan and how they are switching to PC.Well with MS soon being out of the competition, Sony will soon realize they can do whatever the fuck they want.

So Switch2 it is
Given Nintendo, it will not be insanely expensive but it would be insanely cheap either. Back when the Switch released it was using some older tech. Stuff that Nvidia needed to get rid of? Sorry if I'm incorrect in that regard. And while Switch2 won't be state of the art, it's likely that Nvidia wants more money? And well in general the price of stuff has gone up. You also have the whole situation with the Japanese economy.This could be a big mic drop opportunity moment for Nintendo..
Switch 2...
299.99$
Drop mic
Pack in some game as well and then proceed to mock Sony for the 700$ pro.
They would pretty much have the upper hand over both PS and Xbox for years to come.
And honestly if the Switch 2 is no more powerful than the Deck there is no reason for it to be too expensive at this point.
It's a real shame PC never got that MonHun World demo.Hi folks!
I need some metahivemind help deciding what to do with the Monster Hunter bundle on Fanatical
I've never played a MH, but I've always been curious. I guess this bundle is a good value to try them, and I'm considering buying 2 items from it.
However, I don't do multi, and I am not a patient gamer (I played Dark Souls like a hack and slash, which didn't go too well).
The internet suggests that Rise is easier for new players but it looks a bit shite; and that World is slower and more explorative, while Rise is more arcade.
Furthermore, it's unclear to me whether I should go World+Iceborne, or Rise+Sunbreak, or World and Rise, or nothing and play my backlog instead.
Help me Meta, you are my only hope, I guess!
I'll go with 55k.Any guesses on GoW Ragnarok PC CCU?
more than ConcordAny guesses on GoW Ragnarok PC CCU?
I have a different opinion, it is exactly what it needs to be.I feel an immense sense of rejection toward Space Marine 2. To the point of feeling bad it is in my Steam library.
Janky, loud, extremely barebone.
The graphics and fan service are on point, but, uh, there is nothing there.
This is exactly what the first game was too though. One of the most repetitive games I've ever played, I think the campaign was like 6 hours and I gave up after 2 because it felt like I had already played it for 10 hours.I feel an immense sense of rejection toward Space Marine 2.

Nintendo will charge at least $400 and then $70 for base ps4 level games and the public will largely shrug (and their fans online will applaud it). People have long accepted that nintendo can do whatever they want to them and they'll take it, they don't even get mad about it anymore. This is what Sony wants.Gaben and Nintendo: Thank you
Yeah, I also think Switch 2 will probably be at least 400. Inflation is insane these days. They can totally get away with 500 imo.
Horizon Forbidden West was down about 30% from Zero Dawn. I'll say GoW:R has the same trajectory and peaks at about 50kAny guesses on GoW Ragnarok PC CCU?
The only way they do 500$ is if the mobile chip inside is top of the line newish Nvidia tech.Why should Nintendo sell the Switch 2 for cheap? They have no reason to.
It will be a miracle if it's less than 500. Possibly more.
I think rumors point to slightly above PS4 level performance, with dlss and some ray tracing capabilities, courtesy of Nvidia's hardware.The only way they do 500$ is if the mobile chip inside is top of the line newish Nvidia tech.
I don't really see Nintendo pursuing that for both availability and assembly reasons.
I think they go after something more midrange and wouldn't surprise me if they settle on around Deck power. Maybe even less for safety and power reasons as they are still gonna treat it like a kids device.
I think under 400$ is a possibility. The long gen for the Switch and numerous delays (going off rumors) means it should be a little cheaper imo.
