Even if they did, starting a chip company is fucking difficult AF. You don’t want one mega company. You end up in a situation like Canada where they have one airline company and barely any cell carriers.

Competition is healthy. Fingers crossed that Nvidia starts making x86 CPUs as well as Qualcomm. AMD needs more competition too.

The GPU industry also needs some real competition.

Tbh, I’m fine with big AAAA games burning in financially, like Anthem or Redfall. The AA games from smaller devs are great, and I just don’t buy the next game if they buy out a smaller studio and all the OG devs go on to building a new company. That’s how we got games like Half Life, when MSFT devs got sick of working for a mega company and decided to build their own game.

If they buy out a studio and all the devs leave and form a new studio with the proceeds of the prior studio, it means more quality indie titles.

Ugh. I’d probably pay $15 for it on sale, but the launcher makes me want to pirate it just to avoid that crap. I literally just want to play undead nightmare.

More games and a Matrix-esque visual file manager where you could walk through various libraries of documents, files, videos or pictures in 3D space, or proportional size like WinDirStat would be cool.

The lack of good games has really made VR hard to enjoy. I have five good evergreen titles and not much else.

Yeah, Original sin! There have been a ton of solid games throughout the 10s.

Botw was good, but I wouldn’t put it anywhere near game of the decade. Divinity 2, Subnautica, Skyrim and its DLC, Hollow Knight, Death Stranding, Doom 2016, HLA, Ori and the Blind Forest, as well as a number of smaller games and ones I’m probably forgetting.

Undead nightmarrrrre, fuck yes. I generally don’t like rockstar games these days, but undead nightmare was so fucking good. I might actually have to buy it

Ubisoft left steam? Didn’t even know it, their games have gotten terrible reviews for so long, and their uplay platform is so shitty, I have skipped them until they fixed their game dev or cancelled uplay, haha.

Just buy a PC, it will last longer and you can do a lot more with it. The PS6 will probably be even more expensive.

GaaS has made gaming so boring. Fun for like, two months. But with no story and tons of nerfs, they quickly become rather samey feeling. I miss the Halo 2 days where games had a story. Or genuine innovation, like Rocket league, and its ability to be cross platform. That was GaaS done right, until Epic bought them and fucked it all up.

I agree!

Heh, the first step in a long series of steps towards orbital shipyards and coriolis-class space stations.

The future is looking bright.

It’s so cute, I love their cute little facial expressions :)

Red rescue team, if you haven’t played a pokemon mystery dungeon game before. I played the DS version (blue rescue team) and loved it.

I was that guy ❤️

I wish they didn’t break the flamethrower. I knew it wasn’t going to last, as it was way too fun and dangerous. I like gameplay where the weapon is just as dangerous to the player as it can be to enemies. That mindset has been bred out of modern shooters, though.

We need more third places that kids, teens, AND adults can access. Without needing to drive to them.

Pacific Drive is weird but really fun. It’s like DiRT meets CONTROL.

I don’t think it needs another. It stands alone as a testament to an interesting game design that shouldn’t be watered down.

I have yet to find another game that plays like Inscryption. It’s a deck builder, but wow, it has a story. Interestingly good game that I want more of.

While Elite Dangerous is part of a genre, it is a rare game that is actually meant for lots of controller/J HOTAS methods and has shockingly deep gameplay. You can tell it was really meant for adept players, a rare style of games these days. I doubt we will see one like it for awhile, just due to the needs of consumers, the game engine, and the capital required to build a game of that size again.
