Is physical media still really going to be playable in the future when the servers go down? Every cart I buy there's some kind of update needed before you can play it.
If the servers are dead 20 years from now? Won't it be the same situation as these key cards, crap?
Nintendo makes their games playable from cart but any bug fixes or performance improvement downloads won't be there once their servers go down. Nintendo is one of the few companies that bother, though. Most publishers don't want us to play these games forever. Consumers have the power to stop this but they've chosen short term convenience over longevity and ownership.
Or be forced to publicly release game code or something if they don't renew licences or something, after a certain number of years.
Or just be like GOG with no DRM, we can make our own backups.
This weekend I traveled back in time to around 4000 B.C. and started my own glorious empire in Civ 6! Kneel before Emperor Zod!
I'm also listening to an audio book a friend gifted me called Dungeon Crawler Carl. It's not good, but it is funny. It's like if the Borderlands movie actually tried to appeal to people who liked the game.
This weekend I returned to Monster Hunter Wilds to partake in the Festival of Accord: Blossomdance. Also been playing more Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
I started Clair Obscur. France always makes for a good videogame setting. Combat is basically Legend of Dragoon, with dodge and block.
Thanks to all this talk about Tetris99 I fell down that hole again this weekend. I didn't have a lot of time to game regardless, but it was time well spent while playing Tetris99.
I was at a music festival this weekend so I didn't do much gaming. I did play a bit of Oblivion.
How does 5.8 Gig + 11 Gig add up to 13 Gig?
What kind of music festival?
I played Case of the Golden Idol, some Half Life 2 as well. It remains a solid game (though I am playing the recent HD remake).
I went to the Highwater Fest in North Charleston. The highlights of the fest was a blugrass group called Trampled by Turtles, a husband-wife duo called The War and Treaty, and of course, Arcade Fire. I really enjoyed the festival atmosphere.
Magic.^New HQ Cyberpunk 2077 Switch 2 creators voice.
You can do Red Steel 2 katana controls and mouse aiming.
Seems to be running at medium to high PC settings. A user did a 1080p comparison with medium PC settings and this port looks much better than that.
Seems very smooth too.
"DISCOVER NEW AND EXCITING WAYS TO PLAY
Hack and slash your foes with Joy-Con™ 2 motion controls, take down enemies thanks to intuitive gyroscope aiming, touch, tap, and swipe your way through menus, or use your Joy-Con™ 2 (R) as a mouse and experience pin-point accuracy in and out of combat."
This is pretty cool, shows the difference between the PS4 and Switch 2 versions of Cyberpunk.
Also from what others are saying it seems to be running at better framerates/resolutions than the PS4 pro version. It seems really smooth so far.
Tariff Gigs.
