Counterpoint: It seems possible that opening the ability to stream games via this service also might open up the market to indie and fringe developers. I.e., for those of us who are (primarily) console gamers, something like this is actually much more likely to make me abandon a platform and, essentially, have a much wider of potential games to play. So, in a way, this could have the opposite effect, and open kids up to a much wider array of video game content. (not saying I even 100% believe that, just a thought) Of course that's a valid point but it will most probably end up being another source of "directed freedom" : you can access all those games at a steady price but an algorithm decide which games will suit you best, based on all the other thing you do in your life, and you'll end up being trapped in a limited list of things that a non-human system will think is the best for you. That's probably already a thing with Steam, but here the tight integration within the Google ecosystem is what's frightening me. I'm pretty sure that, for example, the games you'll play on their system will have a strong influence on the videos you will come across on YouTube ! I'm probably just freaking out, streaming and downloads are not the end of the world but I don't know, it's kind of sad. Hey! Ahh, I see. . . actually think that's a valid concern. It's something on a non-entertainment level that (personally) I find to be quite disturbing. Specifically, in the realm of confirmation bias when it comes to political thought. E.g., I have some friends from high school who are on Facebook who I initially blocked b/c I couldn't stand to see their extremely [redacted] leaning posts. Realized later that what I was effectively doing was to train Facebook to ONLY show me content that fit with my political leanings - which means I never got a chance to see what someone on the "other side" was thinking (which, personally, I think it critical to staying open minded) So, while we used to (probably unconsciously) seek out content that was in keeping with how we see the world, now we're living with a technology that is going a step further and just giving it to us before we even ask. Or, in the case of Netflix, basically funneling you towards itself like the gaping maw of Cthulhu . So, yeah, totally get it! Think we just have to be careful/mindful about not just defaulting to whatever pops up next. The + side is that, with stadia, I'll no longer have to go the extra step to google "big boob anime chicks" when playing hentai video games ^o^ Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/75676-what-video-games-are-you-currently-playing/page/653/#findComment-2705279 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitchroast Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 i hope Cuphead performance on switch is fine. Trailer looks a little freeze frame-y but I can't tell if that's intentional slow down for dramatic effect or just dodgy performance. will definitely be grabbing this one though :-) Crypt of the NecroDancer never quite stuck with me but the fans seem to love it. moving 'to the beat' always felt a bit stifling and constrained (which a pointless criticism when that's the entire point of the game, but that's why i didn't love it i guess!). Blaster Master Zero 2 is a weird one... i have to imagine the main reason Blaster Master Zero was a success was because it was one of the few indie budget titles available on the switch at launch... and less because there's massive demand for more Blaster Master (???).

Reveal hidden contents This current console generation has really irked me a bit. When PS4 came out, it seemed like Sony had made the move from the more specialised Cell multi-core microprocessor microarchitecture, that made developing for PS3 an apparent chore. It seemed to futureproof the console in a way that would make future consoles backwards compatible and everything would be a bit more open and easier to develop for. But now we're in a state where, games like Anthem and RDR2 are coming out and are hitting 20-30FPS performances on base PS4 and base XBOX One, in a way that seems very apparent that the games are being developed and fine tuned with the more current iterations (PS4 Pro and XBOX ONE X) in mind, and being backwards optimised to get it running on the previous generations. The implication that PS4 Pro is a continuation of the PS4, when performance of the same games is poor on Base PS4, and buying a PS4 Pro doesn't have any buying upgrade path other than outright buying a new console at full price retail. And all it means is that Sony and Microsoft get to talk about their consoles in a way that sounds like the PS4 for example had a very long lifespan because it's taking the PS4 Pro into consideration. Asif it's not a new generation of console. (ie. they get to gloat this long market lifespan to shareholders when in reality it's just screwing over customers... is my feeling). It's really shitty. It's similar to the Danny O'dwyer tweets that Osc posted. It seems like, 4k gaming, better resolution graphics, better processing to handle more polygons, is all at the cost of games taking longer to make + being more expensive to make + being a higher risk on publishers, and its resulting in less games coming out and more boring games coming out because following precedents and copying existing games is a safer investment for publishers and shareholders... This has been the trend games and gaming consoles has been going in for a while now.. PS4 Pro and XBOX One / One S / One X, all seems like it's something the console makers are thinking about and trying to alleviate.. and the idea that the solution is something that only google can tackle with their massive tech infrastructure ... it's kind of scary shit for the industry... obviously caring about the industry is a nerd thing to do and it's lame and boring, but its also the kind of thing that probably means even less games + more boring games + more games as a service, etc. are going to be coming out going forward. I duno... weird times.

ambermonk Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 So the Epic Games Store snatched up Metro Exodus, then recently Phoenix Point (which was crowdfunded for the past year up to this point), and now The Outer Worlds. There's already been common complaints about security issues regarding the Epic launcher. And those were some of the games I was most looking forward to.Obviously 2019 is shaping up to be the year of Steam (Valve) vs Epic. I'm not gonna go into any further of a rant on the issue, but I still find the migration of these latest titles to an inferior and shady platform for the sake of a bigger revenue cut disheartening.

But i reckon owning a PC and PS4 has too much overlap and the asking price of needing to pay $80 a year to play PS4 games online, when i can play the same games on PC... online for free.. + better performance.... ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... Like, i understand building and maintaining a PC is a massive chore and not an easy task for a lot of people (myself included) ... but i dunno. I'm very much at a point where a game having amazing graphics doesn't cut it if the game itself is going to be boring. and the Switch pretty much lines up with my needs perfectly. LOL @ God of War being 'garbage' All those Game of the Year awards seem to disagree with you on that point. That’s poorly applied logic, and clearly trolling surely… Have you played it? I have (all the way through; didn't do a lot of the sidequests). It's a great game, and (I feel) very deserving of the praise it gets. I haven't played it no. I also haven't watched Bohemian Rhapsody, but I know that I would hate it. But that also won a load of awards, so I guess I must be wrong? I just think that using the logic of awards = greatness is a bit flawed. edit: btw I love Queen and their music, so that's not why I'd hate it. Well, you're missing out - BR is a great movie, and a wonderful tribute to Mercury/Queen. I guess the way he states "it's garbage" like it was fact makes (triggers) me to point out that person is in the minority about something being subjectively good or bad. Add to the fact that millions of people bought GoW, so likely not a 'fluke' it got the awards and praise it has...

What do you think of what Nintendo is doing? love the switch. i think what they're doing is great. compare it to vita, where they they were similarly targeting console type experience on a handheld (Sony published vita versions of Uncharted and Killzone, Vita being able to stream games from PS4 and play on handheld) but not even having 1:1 button of a standard PS4 controller (only 1 set of L R shoulder buttons, joysticks didn't click in as L3 and R3).

It's going to be a good one. sounds like a good time! report back on the first few hours if you want, always love hearing about from software games on here. Launch time is always special thanks to secrets, methinks Sekiro even moreso, because there's NPCs that you can protect during bossfights that will probably be extremely difficult to pull off at times.

bitchroast Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) apologies for upsetting with strong language "i thought god of war was garbage". i have my reasons (i found the combat and movement slow and unengaging. i found the environments to be VERY NICE LOOKING, largely straight forward corridors, not exactly fun to explore. i found the story and presentation to be pretty good. but the off-moment character interactions between distant father&son to be almost carbon copied from off-moment character interactions between distant father & 'daughter' from TLOU. it kind of all just resulted in this package that was nice to look at, had a vaguely interesting story stretched out across ~20-30 hours ((zzz...)), and gameplay that i ultimately found incredibly painstakingly boring and made me want to smash my head against a wall bored. the complete package didn't come together in any meaningful way for me.) i'm sorry!!! okay ;-; ((((((((((((((( would've been better as a netflix series without the boring gameplay lol ))))))))))))))) Edited March 22, 2019 by bitchroast Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/75676-what-video-games-are-you-currently-playing/page/653/#findComment-2705658 Share on other sites More sharing options...
