making value judgements on other poor people for being poor is not okay

luckyly for me, I’m not doing that

I’m not rich, I know what I’m talking about. When I’m going to spend money I have to look the best way to spend it, which is the best “invest”. Being wasteful is an luxury I personally can’t afford.

No, if you are poor you learn to value every cent and not being wasteful, if you have common sense, of course

I’d say it’s more expensive to lack common sense

It’s still less expensive than a PC hobby

just with the sales and free online/cloudsaves PCs are cheaper in the long run

And mods are an added value, we can even include fanmade patches that fix what developers don’t into that added value

Consumers don’t have much say in what these companies do or how they operate.

Yes, they do. Microsoft tried to incorporate Xbox live onto PC and it was a failure because PC consumers didn’t bought it

The same goes with paid mods, Valve and Bethesda tried to make people buy mods and it was rejected by the consumer so the have to backtrack.

Consumers have all the power in their wallet they decide what course the companies take. If a company does something that goes against your interests as consumer is as easy as stop giving them money, if you hurt them economically, they’ll have to go back to the business model that gave them profits (this works only if the average consumer is intelligent enough to protect their own interest/rights)

It’s too late. Just because you stopped paying for Xbox live does not means Microsoft is going to make it free.

People should not have accepted pay for online play but since is widespread, it’s too late to revert it

basic tier for those of us who just want online play and cloud save

That should be free. It’s when people should have started boycotting Sony (and Microsoft and Nintendo) now it’s just too late

Neither the DS nor the 3DS flopped, on the contrary. the DS was the most sold console in the world

And it gave us new experiences, new ways to play and also made some stuff better (like having extra info, like maps, information or access to the inventory, having that meant you didn’t need to pause the game)

There’s no way Nintendo abandons the removable joycons.

Nintendo abandoned the dual screen, and that was an incredible feature, I totally see them abandoning removable controllers

To have access to those “free games” you have to pay first, so how come they are free when they are asking money for them?

Free is this:

No payments required and you keep it forever

I’m not a console owner, are PlayStation owners really giving Sony $60 a year to play online multiplayer?

It all started with the Xbox, since people did not questioned it and received it with open arms the others (Sony and Nintendo) just copied it. It’s just matter of time we end up paying on PC too

I miss playing good shooters since the PS360 era, way before the battle royale genre entered the game.

It’s when the genre exploded on consoles and it was when the genre was overly simplified and dumbed down

Before, some multiplatform FPS changed between the PC version and the console version. The console versions often had maps changed or even completely removed (and enemies where altered too) because they where too much for a controller

AAA PC exclusive titles also have the right to exists.

I miss playing good first person shooters…

The first game in ages where it actually feels like the company/ developers actually put in effort and released a complete product

I miss the time when this was common

Zero Divide
Street Fighter Alpha 3
Bloody Roar 2
Rival Schools
Soul Edge/Soul Blade
Tekken 3
Guilty Gear XX (^Core+R is the most recent one, there are like 6 different versions)
Ehrgeiz (this one have several minigames and an action RPG mode that involves a lot of dungeon crawling)

It just works

Me, who mistakes Manic Miner with Miner 2049er

It Hurt Itself in Its Confusion!

Bayonetta has basic combat?

When I bough Bayonetta 1+2 for the Wii U I was expecting something close to Devil May Cry (They share the same director and almost the same developing team, after all) but it was a huge disappointment everything is so dumbed down and simple that is not even fun. People only likes it because they are satisfied with the over-the-top action and Bayonetta one-liners and that’s all.

My main complains with Bayonetta are the following:

All the weapons feel the same, where the only change is the attack speed, their cosmetic appearance and in some cases some minor and useless changes, like if you hold the attack buttons and the weapons you have equiped are fireweapons, they shoot (with this I mean combos, like PPPK, KKKPK, etc… do the same with every weapon, except maybe the Kulshedra, the extremely basic whip, the weapons do not feel unique in any meaningful way, they all have the same moveset and combos. In Devil May Cry each weapon is unique, with their own moveset and combos, and their moveset changes depending on the style you have active, for extra depth)

Finding the secret stuff is too easy (except for some verses and Alfheim, that require some backtrack at specific points, but finding the vinyls to get new weapons is too easy)

Speaking of the Alfheims, they are not even chanllenging (compared to the Secret Missions in Devil May Cry)

Bayonetta 2 is even worse, everything is way more simplistic and easy than the first one, I haven’t bothered with Bayonetta 3

This is what playing Bayonetta feels like
