Played a few runs, the game is pretty darn fun as you might expect but since it’s still in early access it might not have that much content yet. I will say it feels like a much more polished and fun version of StS1 so far, and I haven’t even tried multiplayer yet.

That’s really disappointing, I was looking forward to the Returnal sequel and that Wolverine game.

An iPad Air costs the same but comes with a much better M4 processor.

Sure, but a tablet isn’t a laptop.

Honestly I’m expecting this to take up most of the mid-range laptop market. 8gb RAM and only 256GB storage is lame, but the rest of it probably makes it really good value (especially with components getting more expensive recently).

Unless you’re buying used or refurbished, most laptops I found at ~$600 or less kinda suck. Either it has terrible specs, or uses cheap plastic, or has a terrible screen, etc.

I don’t like Apple, but hopefully this is a wake-up call for other vendors. Lower end laptops should stop being cheap garbage.

Man, I remember this. Me and my friend bought it on release and refunded it. It was lacking a lot, and the playerbase was already dead. The few people we did play with just ran forward alone and died.

I am once again asking for a release date on Mina the Hollower. It was supposed to release last Halloween but got delayed, I’m really looking forward to it.

Nintendo has been doing indie showcases for years now, they’re pretty well received by devs and players from what I understand.

I’m totally keeping my eye on the emulator, but from what I heard it still needs more time. I’ve heard of occasional crashes, vertex explosions, random graphical issues happening. Also, it needs a really good computer to run at 60fps.

I’m excited for when it does work flawlessly, but I do wish they’d just port a native version to PC.

It really doesn’t need a remake, it just needs a port to modern systems, upscaled textures, and bumped up to 60fps. It doesn’t need anything else, and it’s weird that Fromsoft hasn’t bothered to do any of that.

It makes sense that they wouldn’t want Bluepoint to do a full remake too because they took a lot of weird liberties in Demon’s Souls IMO. They’re 10/10 technically but they changed things that didn’t need to be changed and refused to touch things that everybody wanted changed (why is the gargoyle’s AI still broken…)

Borderline broken on release, terrible framerate & graphics on Switch 1. Did you play them on Switch 2 by any chance?

Huh, so they’re actually going to wait a year. I honestly expected them to push a Pokemon game ASAP for the Switch 2, but I guess it’s better that they take their time than release a mess like Scarlet & Violet.

Matrix is lacking all sorts of features and proper UX. I used it through multiple front-ends and every time it’s just not good enough yet.

A nothingburger apology that follows the same patterns every company does

1. Introduce outrageous thing

2. Apologize

3. delay outrageous thing by a few months and hope people forgot about it, then do it again

Teamspeak requires you to pay for a license to host a community of greater than 32 people though. I have much more faith in Fluxer, which just came out recently and has its servers getting hammered right now. It will have true self-hosting and federation. Also it looks exactly like Discord which probably makes moving to it easier.

Indifferent to it. It looks nice but I’ll wait until reviews and early impressions before deciding to play it.

It looks pretty nice but definitely has the potential to be a bloated mess with how many things are crammed into it.

The animations for this are lovely. March is getting really stacked with game releases.

Yup. OpenGOAL is pretty good, but Jak 2 & Jak 3 are still incomplete and have issues.

Early access release date is March 5 btw, just two weeks from now.

And 4 player online co-op!!! Nice!

Yeah. I wouldn’t mind a Jak and Daxter trilogy remake either.
