https://flickstiq.com/a-new-rainway-is-coming-soon/ Hosts will need to be on PC. XB1 support for streaming in is coming in Q1 2019. PS4 supposedly coming in the future. As for Switch...

I actually liked what I saw. Mainly because it's an action RPG instead of another one of those turn based gacha things, as I expected. I'm sure there's enough mobile F2P garbage in there not to make it worth the while.

1080p though. I don't mind. My system is only slightly better than the recommended.

People haven't cared about innovation in shooting mechanics for a long time. There shouldn't be any pressure for Cyberpunk to do it. (even if does do it ... marginally) It's just blowback from the press oogling over Cyberpunk as if it definitively stole E3.

'Don't fuck up like we did.' - Nier PC team

I didn't realize the game was so close. Total impulse buy today.

It just looked like action Deus Ex. Which still sounds fun, but nothing I'm clamoring for.

DQXI team can't speak for the Nier team.

No word yet on performance, but Square's promising better than Neir Automata's PC troubles. I'm jumping in on it.

Mario Tennis Aces is fine for $60. This game though...

Actually, a lot of Switch games support the adapter. It defaults to the same inputs a Pro Controller gives, if I'm not mistaken.

Not to mention Nintendo's done some F2P ventures themselves.

I think we'll see a price cut for the Xbox One X by the holidays. It'd probably make more sense to hold off until then. Or for Black Friday deals in general. Either way, the lines would cross by late 2020. There's a good chance we'll have next gen consoles in that timeframe. Hard to get excited about a package like this considering the future, IMO.

Easier to headshot.

Releasing the NES-styled game was super smart. People won't complain as much, because they've already delivered something worthwhile.

It depends on the title. FF7's character models always looked bad and inconsistent. Others like Banjo Kazooie have held up remarkably well.

Having so many different models worries me too. It's standard practice, I know. But I have to wonder if that $499 card will really be up to snuff for what its advertised for.

You liked it in the first place?

Double Dribble for the NES. Loved that game so much when I was young, but yikes, it's aged poorly.

It's not a non-issue, but it's becoming less of a critical one. I'm still keeping tabs on Rainway and Moonlight as well.

This could get even more hilarious is if parts of the apology video were plagiarized.

I look forward to the end of year awards category Giant Bomb creates for him.

1. I agree with most of that to a degree, but would still stop short of saying critics have a significant impact in the acceptance of a medium as 'serious' art. The public has the big say. Not only in determining what is profitable, but in keeping an art form active and culturally significant. 2. None of that discounts their influence on mainstream culture. Traditional reviewers don't have the same reach as they do. There's downsides, but I think the net is positive. A lot more people are staying engaged with games today because of them. 3. A breakout box like that is still badly compartmentalizing a review. Maybe as a snapshot, okay, that's fine. But game mechanics are generally too much of what makes a game good or bad to be segmented out like that. Same with technical issues, if they're egregious.
