The cartridges themselves make up for the price difference. Don’t equate the physical cost of n64 cartridges versus the completely trivial cost of distributing software now.

$500 more likely due to tariffs. Maybe $450.

With as much puffery as this game was putting out prerelease, I kinda expecting it to be mediocre at best. Dunno if my prediction has been proven true yet but not a great beginning with this review.

This is a privileged take. There are plenty of people that cannot wait.

No, they have Skyrim money for that. Imagine making money off of a game for over a decade, while barely putting money towards rereleases/ports. Didn’t even need a team for patches or content updates.

Yea it’s always been reverse bullet hell.

Not just a game. It’s a core part of any project management. Unfortunately, we’ve seen the industry does it very poorly overall.

4060 is a good barometer for a lot of cards out there. Cards several generations back can hit its rasterization performance. The 3600 is also below what I’d consider the average cpu for people playing this game. I’d have to look at Steam stats to confirm but a 4070S gimped by a 3600 is likely a great example of midrange.

Working my way through the second. Different tone and design decisions (for the better). They did a great job advancing and updating their ideas from the first. And it can look stunning visually.

Don’t apologize for having an opinion. Just apologize for discounting the ones that don’t agree with yours. It’s listed as very positive on Steam and sold very well. Your hyperbole about everyone saying it was bad is provably wrong.

It sold 4 million copies. The press lathered it with praise as a lot of major media outlets gave it 9s.

Not surprised MiSide didn’t receive any press. The same thing happened for Doki Doki until a press piece went viral.

Outer worlds was received perhaps even better and was more popular than Avowed is currently. People’s memories are fuzzy I guess but Outer Worlds was a genuine GOTY contender.

You can set a default for opening links outside of an app. Like, i can set an app (if there’s an option) to always open links externally and it will open in my default browser. Unfortunately, from my understanding, apps are required to use default safari when opening a link in-app. It’s really inconvenient to open every link I click in the voyager app externally so I just open links in reader mode as default.

Technically all browsers are safari on iOS but apps like chrome, Firefox, etc. only use the shell.

I agree. I don’t keep track of what sites are horrible cause I don’t see them usually. But when it hits you, it’s shocking just how unusable the raw internet has become. Some sites I are fine but sometimes I just got copy paste to actually read an article.

You don’t browse that way. You browse the fediverse through an app like Voyager and the links you click go through the native iOS browser, without any ad blocking. You have to copy paste the link into your chosen browser to actually have ad blocking on iOS.

Clicking a link directly through an app in iOS is still eye murder.

I guess you can consider those as the current generation as they were also released on the PS5 & XSX. All of those games are cross generational though. I only played FH5 of those and enjoyed it as well. I would actually love another horizons game.

Indiana Jones would definitely support your argument. Here’s hoping it’s a sign that this year’s crop will be fun as well.

About time. Now to see if they are actually good. That’s been the real problem for Xbox. Whenever they release games this gen, they’ve not been well received by the majority. The games have had glaring flaws that were game breakers or just simply weren’t good enough.

There are settled court cases that should cover this kind of situation. I’m sure there are witnesses and a paper trail. The problem is whether there’s any interest in actually pursuing a conviction.
