Ah, I see what you’re saying. Yeah, I agree, their implementation is weird, but I like it that way since there’s less temptation. As you said, I never felt like I was missing out on anything by not buying any of the MTX.

I think it’s confusing that they would add such a thing at all

What’s to be confused about? They make money from it. People complain about it online, but the vast majority of players don’t care.

Wrong thread. Was this in response to the report that 75% of PS5 owners prefer performance mode, maybe?

Framerate über alles.

Only George HW Bush.

“I don’t stand by anything.”

There’s always a market for people who want the latest and greatest thing, so they’ll make money off of it, but since most people will have the base model (even more than those who stuck with a base PS4, I imagine), all games will be designed with that in mind.

I imagine they’ll make money from the kinds of people who absolutely must have the latest and greatest available tech for everything. Personally, I wouldn’t bother even if money weren’t an issue.

PS4 was $400 at launch. PS4 Pro was $400 at launch.

Obviously tech is getting more expensive to produce instead of cheaper now, but still, a $200 markup from the base price is pretty damn huge.

My newer PS5 controller suddenly started refusing to charge when plugged into a USB - the PS5 gave a warning that the charge was too high and it made my PC’s USB slots stop working for a bit after plugging it in. Glad they made that alternate way of charging at the bottom, as I got a charge stand and it worked.

It’s still alive and well in most private servers, too.

How to pronounce AAA: “Triple A.”

How to pronounce AAAA: “Aaaah!!!”

I’ve actually enjoyed the recent “Witcher 3” AC games and was hoping this would be kinda like that with a Star Wars skin, but the bigger emphasis on stealth makes it seem like it isn’t. Good thing I have AC Shadows to look forward to!

If you want the extra dungeons at the end, you can get the 2015 PC version or the GBA version with the sound and color patches applied.

I hate stealth games and didn’t like the AC series until Origins started the “Witcher 3 wannabe” style of AC games. All 3 of the ones released so far (Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla) have been like crack for me - I can’t stop playing them until I’ve been to every icon on the map. If you like open world action RPGs and Ancient Egypt, you’ll probably like it. If you prefer stealth like the older AC games, though, you might not.

Really liked Control, although the Alan Wake DLC was disappointing. Hoping the second on has more Threshold kids!

I’ve played them all, just never completed them. Agreed, the Sorrow games are the best of the Advance/DS ones.

Been wanting this for a long time. DS games are trickier to emulate well than single screen ones, making this collection of old games more worth it than usual.

Because this isn’t just available on PC.

I put the Saturn SotN (English translation) on my hacked switch via the Saturn emulator used for Cotton, since I’d never played that version. I don’t usually replay games start to finish, but I must have done so with SotN around 7 times by now. Meanwhile, I don’t think I’ve ever beaten any of the other 6 Igavanias.
