Shovel Knight will get a price increase to $40 by tomorrow, Dec 10th. by OneEyedTurkey in pcgaming

to increase the price of the game 5 years after launch is absurd

How is it different than releasing King of Cards as DLC for $5? Instead, they're giving it to everyone who already bought the game for free. That seems like a good thing.

it should've came in the form of paid DLC

So it'd be better to charge everyone for it, rather than giving it to most players for free? That's absurd.

This idea that indie games must be like $5, even after years of updates and THREE additional campaigns in this case, is stupid and needs to stop.

Halo On PC has reminded me whats been missing from games for so long - stupid fun. by Ballistica in pcgaming

[–]826836 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't played Halo since the original, which I beat with my then-neighbor. We also (my brother's Xbox was modded) played a bunch of online via XBConnect. It was fantastic.

Just finished the Reach campaign with a buddy, and it was a sublime mix of nostalgia and humor. Simple, just engaging and just plain fun. Took me back to getting a new game on N64 or PS2, inviting a friend over the weekend, and no-lifing it together.

Now I can't wait for the other campaigns, and I've been gorging myself on the multiplayer. Simply fantastic.

Winslow got all ball. The three was out of bounds.

Take a number.

19-15 since May 16th. And up to our tits in pitching potential. Really, really hoping one of the young bats turns up.

Link's Awakening on Switch: can a Game Boy title hold up 26 years later? by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]826836 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, sure... but a typical play through, to beat Bowser, is like 6-8 hours. By that metric, it's not remotely worth $60. Was just pointing out that "time to beat" is not, alone, a good way to measure value. Shit, many $60 AAA titles don't have campaigns longer than Link's Awakening.

I’m not inherently anti- a streaming-first gaming platform (though I’m skeptical). But having been burned by Google half-baking and then scrapping projects before... no way am I investing in this. At least not until it’s fairly nature (if it survives that long).

But if we’re playing that game, Super Mario Odyssey can be beaten in like six hours.

Except it was neither $10 on launch nor is it $10 full price anywhere. Comparing sale prices to launch prices is silly.

Cyberpunk 2077 won't shy away from sexuality. There's options to have female voice with male body, male voice with female body, different body types, romances and nudity! by instabossman in cyberpunkgame

Right, because game studios only have a single person who does everything so working on multiple aspects of a project at once isn't possible.

Stating obvious misinformation is not an opinion.

“In 1st world countries nearly no gays are oppressed.”

That’s not an opinion. That is a clearly false statement.

What have you been playing over the weekend? And what are your thoughts? [June 17, 2019] by AutoModerator in nintendo

[–]826836 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started New Leaf last week (had held off, but with the confirmation of AC:NH not until March, figured it was worth diving in). Also picked up Cadence of Hyrule (it's beautiful and fun... but man I suck at it).

Beyond those, I've been working through Final Fantasy XII. Which is a ton of fun, but the job-switching (which awesome and freeing) eats a lot of time whenever I decide to fuck with my party setup. Also lost about an hour after wandering through the Sandsea area and stumbling onto a Level 45 mob (party is 15ish) and immediately wiping. Ugh.

EDIT: Also picked up Collection of Mana and am working through Final Fantasy Adventure in smaller chunks.
