    I know this post is old now… but $10 a month definitely isn’t the goal. It’s effectively at least $15 a month on consoles with Gold. Then whatever price hike inevitably comes after the user/talent acquisition phase.

    Any modern chip design design should support raytracing in some fashion. Like Series S, we might not see it much due to the performance hit. But Tensor cores are used for both DLSS and RT acceleration on NVIDIA's side.

    FSR 1.0 works okay in dark games with heavy post-processing effects. With most everything else, you’re getting a poor visual trade-off for the performance gains. That is unless you’re nearly hitting 4K and could run the highest FSR setting to get there. Lower native resolutions look better in most other circumstances. Same is true with Nvidia’s FSR knock-off they slid out recently too for older gpus. There have been reports of FSR helping excessively blurry Deck or Switch games look more legible. That might be its most practical use as of yet.

    Good riddance to 1.0, which is essentially a sharpening filter. I really do hope they can get it right this time. Not expecting it to go tit for tat with DLSS, but I hope it’s something I’ll actually want to use with my aging GPU, and will benefit the consoles. In other FSR news, Switch Sports supposedly uses the older implementation.

    Apparently you can. No idea how easy this is though, since I don't have a Deck. The itch.io app works on a Steam Deck WWW.GAMINGONLINUX.COM Do you own a lot of games on itch.io? I do, and a huge amount more from past charity bundles I've yet to go and claim so maybe the Steam Deck will help me and you get through them all. Itch.io games are DRM free, but can be run/organized through their own launcher.

    Feels good seeing an indie fighter finally part of the main line-up.

    Might do the same. I still only have MK8 on Wii U without the dlc.

    Bundle for Ukraine by Necrosoft Games and 732 others ITCH.IO Bundle for Ukraine: 991 items for $10.00 There's also some stuff that's been given away before on Epic (Celeste, Superhot, Towerfall, Figment, Sundered, Gonner, etc), and other notables from previous itch bundles (Baba is You, A Short Hike, Underhero, Moon Hunters, etc). You can also try the profoundly disappointing Skatebird. Don't say I didn't warn you.

    I buy a lot of small games on a whim for cheap. Latest has been Divekick and Oddworld Stranger’s Wrath HD for a dollar each at Fanatical, and Finding Paradise for another buck at Humble. Humble Choice too, for the Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster for $12.

    You forgot The Quiet Man

    Babylon's Fall for PC, PS5, PS4 Reviews OPENCRITIC.COM Babylon's Fall is rated 'Weak' after being reviewed by 8 critics, with an overall average score of 35. It's ranked in the bottom 1% of games and recommended by 17% of critics. Ouchy

    Yes, you do. You get keys for redemption on storefronts, typically Steam. Its a subscription, but you can pause months you don’t want or outright cancel whenever. If you pause for a month or two, you typically get discounts to unpause if you threaten to pause again. They also have a recurring library that is DRM locked to their client, but that’s not the main selling point.

    March 2022 | Humble Choice WWW.HUMBLEBUNDLE.COM Humble Choice Games for March 2022 Explained GAMERANT.COM The latest batch of games from Humble Bundle's subscription service Humble Choice has been revealed, and there are some big titles this March. Surprised this wasn't posted yet. Went in for Mass Effect.

    Platform fighters will likely be dead to EVO (and Nintendo) until a new Smash is out.

    The setup was disappointing, as you said. The unexplained ‘they’re back’ thing at the end was jarring in a similar way that FF7R was for a minor character there. But even FF7R didn’t go to the same lengths to please, and XB2 ends all the more absurd for it. If I can ignore that bit… the ending wasn’t too bad. XB1 set a higher bar though. As much as I love XB2 overall, and the last hours especially, it can really bring the anime suck at inopportune moments.
  16. crispy4000
    That’s good to hear. Meaning to get to Torna, and as someone who liked XB2 a lot, I’m sure I’ll enjoy it even more. Kinda want to get back into 2 and further ‘break’ it at some point, check out some of the other DLC bonuses too. I wouldn’t call the ending of XB2 a rehash of the first. It’s much more tactful than that, since it treads similar ground for a reason, and fleshes out both games. My main issues were in the ending credit sequence, specifically not just letting certain characters die. But up until that, they set up a mystery for the end of the game from the onset, and delivered on it in an unexpected, multilayered way. That’s a really tough thing to pull off. I think they did, which is why the unearned aspects of the credit sequence felt so dumb and out of place to me. I really wish I could buy Future Connected as something standalone. Don’t think I could play through the first game again with how long it was, and how much I disliked the crafting by the end.

    X is so much more flawed than XB2 IMO. The latter's problems hit you in the face, but don't make you question why you spent dozens of hours playing it. I don't know if I could take another game like X unless they made big changes to its progression, mech combat, and storytelling. It really is the most MMO-ish of the bunch, in a bad way. World and technical aspects of that game are amazing though.

    Metroid Prime: Federation Force Critic Reviews OPENCRITIC.COM Metroid Prime: Federation Force has been reviewed by 58 critics and currently has a 'Weak' rating. Read and browse them all to learn what the top critics in the video game industry are... 21% critic recommendation. At the very least, that claim is controversial.

    You'd do better to make a comparison to Bethesda's properties, and Microsoft's decision to keep them off Playstation platforms. That's what Nintendo did when they bought Monolith from Namco. We're more likely to see a Xenoblade game on mobile than ported to a competitor's console. It's the furthest Nintendo has been willing to go with their 1st party studios. Either way, the Xenoblade series has become a modern-era Nintendo staple. It's slowly and steadily become a bigger property for them. I'd expect XB3 to be in the ballpark of a Metroid or Paper Mario in terms of sales potential.

  21. crispy4000
    Bayonetta 2/3 is a remote possibility if Nintendo's publishing deal expires. Xenoblade, we'll see it ported to Xbox when Mario, Zelda and Metroid go there. Monolith is a 1st party Nintendo studio.
  22. crispy4000
    I've never played Xenogears, but there's a heavy-handed nod to it at the end of Xenoblade 2 as well. Also backed up further by data mining.
  23. crispy4000
    Apparently their port teams don't communicate. lol
  24. crispy4000
    Yes. The Xenoblade games are more exploration and plot focused than DQXI (which I also enjoyed a lot). I regard Xenoblade 1 and 2 both a bit higher.
  25. crispy4000
    The battle system is almost all for the better. It’s got a ton of layers, probably more than it needed. But it all clicks together, and fun to break if you go there. The bad has to do with micromanagement outside of battles. The random element isn’t as bad as people tend to say, but the way you have to babysit things with timers is. The ugly is the character designs and cutesy/‘fan service’ anime tropes. Not enough to spoil the overall game, but I’m glad they’re dialing it down.
