Christ I have no idea why any third party even puts games out for that thing. They don't expect it to work, but they expect your credit / debit card to work when you buy it on the Switch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the same reason people made nerfed versions of games for the Game Boy and DS - there's over a hundred million of them out there. Might as well swing for the massive install base for the handheld console replacement since there isn't a dedicated handheld console anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Sheldon Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Hopefully the Switch 2 or whatever it will be called will have more RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I suppose I can only throw so much shade since when I was a boy I had the Game Boy version of Mortal Kombat that is notoriously shit, and I still enjoyed it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on the Oblivion remake - the problem is the part they aren't changing, the engine, not the graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=f-AECxvqObs On the subject of Mortal Kombat, behind the scenes footage of Mortal Kombat (1992). I'm in the camp preferring Mortal Kombat to Street Fighter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raziel Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I was gonna say, it had to be either Siege or Division 2, and even D2 puttered out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I'm always shocked when I see a new season for Siege. That thing was busted in a bunch of ways when it was released and Ubisoft put a Hello Games/No Man's Sky level of effort behind it and it's still going today. I swear just a week or two ago I saw an ad for a new season of Siege. Not sure if that was the Master Chief one or not. Looked it up and jesus, it's now in Year 8 Season 3 and the new skin or dude or whatever is Master Chief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far Cry 4 has had its servers broken since May 2023 and Ubisoft seemingly won't do anything after numerous requests and support tickets to fix it. Not to mention the other Far Crys that came out since then and The Division 1 & 2. The only reason Ubisoft cares is Siege has microtransactions.

Casey Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 doesn’t Extraction have MTX? My buddy at work is a big-time Siege fan and basically tried out Extraction for awhile but he inevitably went back to Siege. Seems like most people did that. There’s something like 150 active players on Steam for Extraction versus around 64k for Siege. That’s right this very minute, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I think that Star Citizen will be in eternal beta and wind up being the testing ground for other finished single-player games like Squadron 42. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apros pos Star Citizen: I don't follow that drama at all but I think it's funny that the director of that game is Chris Roberts who was the director of Strike Commander, the first vaporware game where I actively followed the drama. Though back then vaporware meant a two year delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I just want to play Skull & Bones before I die just so I can see how trying to spin up a billion dollar IP off of a 15 year old minigame works out. I have really mixed feelings on Star Citizen. If one could actually put aside the insanity of their fundraising history I don't think the game is nearly the disaster some people would like to claim it is. But Jesus, how can you possibly totally separate the work from the literal hundreds of millions in crowd funding with no true end goal ever really announced?
