I agree with you that some people are misguided and expect dark souls to be hard for the sake of being hard. Yes you die a lot but that is part of the game, and dying is not a state of failure but a step in getting better in order to overcome the obstacle.

I have seen people not only beat the game but do a no hit run with guitar hero guitar, dance dance gamepad and even raw potatoes. Making the game easy does not equal to making it ‘accessible’, but it does break the core gameplay loop. There are ways to make games more accessible in general that doesn’t ruin the fun factor. Check out AbleGamers they are doing amazing work helping the community which I think is one of the best ways to go about this issue.

I should pay more attention to names and stuff. I have played and enjoyed half their catalogue and didn’t even know it was made by the same devs haha

Personally I don’t know you so I might be wrong, but based on what you described sounds like you’re doing it more as a chore than having fun

For a whole 2 second when they revealed it, and then…

Lmao I literally bought Rollerdrome today. It’s been pretty fun and hectic so far so I do recommend checking it out

Well accrding to truesteamachievements, the percentage of people who %100 the game is %32… That can’t be right, right?

Not to say I’m not disappointed with respawn, but they handed over Apex development/maintenance to another studio in 2020

I really appreciate the amount of time and effort this guy puts into making these videos. There are so many good games coming out every day that get overlooked and I persobally don’t have the time to dig for them myself.

Interesting read, but

According to the former Valve developer, who left in 2017, The Anacrusis is focused on what he believes fans of the genre care about most, based on stats he saw at Valve_

I’m pretty sure that’s illegal.

Knowing his comedic genius, I’d wager a GTA VI announcement is right around the corner

Edit: OH SHI-

Microsoft’s current decision is a stark contrast to Xbox’s motto of “When Everybody Plays, We All Win.” To build trust with disabled players by consistently advocating for accessibility and the disabled experience only to then quickly and surprisingly remove the tools that disabled players need is shocking to much of the community.

They really trade the peoples trust like currency huh. It’s not shocking but still upsetting

What a stupid article, almost feels like paid advertisement.

I enjoyed playing Slay the Princess. It’s a very niche experience and it’s fine for what it is. But to imply it’s a better game or is having a larger reception than Spider-Man 2, Mario or Alan wake is silly. The higher score average is due to it being less popular.

Those two are not mutually exclusive

At least it was cheap

Haha cheers to that! I really enjoyed our conversation :) I hope you have a good week mate

I agree with your sentiment, after all what is a game console without games.

What I want isn’t necessarily a unique architechture, rather I want a unique experience. I think looking at Smartphone landscape expresses my concerns much clearer. All phones today are basically just reskins of same phone in design, purpose and architechture. Sure there are some novelty phones with smaller audiences for the sake of novelty but what makes you choose a phone over the other is just marketing at this point. I’m afraid that’s where we’re headed with consoles. The difference is the home consoles are replaceable.

It’s too early to decide if it was. Yes it was the safest bet, Even though PS4 had a great deal of success you also need to keep in mind, a lot of it was because of politics. Nintendo and MS made huge mistakes at that time and Sony basically ate their lunch.

The older generations were always innovative and pushed the envelop as far as possible, but now PS just a gaming PC that is not upgradable like an actual PC. if you don’t recall, the most hyped thing about PS5 was the controller, which is not what you expect the main point of buying a new consol to be.

On the topic of exclusives, I personally hate them. I think it makes a false sense of value in modern consoles where in the past they were intentionally made to take advantage of the architecture to showcase the unique quirks (and ofc the power) of this machine in a tiny box. Now they are usually just political leverages even though the games can be ported to other platforms.

So to reiterate, I agree it definitely had positive net for Sony in the short run, we’ll have to wait and see if it will payout in the long run.

I would argue they had to give it up to get the indie scene onboard as I heard many nightmare stories for indies from PS3 era. Was it worth it? I’m sure contributed a great deal to the success of PS4 but it made the PS into just a more affordable gaming PC.

I wish that was true, there are so many games I would go back and play again. PS3 was a technical marvel for it’s time, however using it was so complicated that we only got to see it’s true potential by the end of it’s lifecycle with games like TLOU. So just speaking of raw power, PS5 could %100 not emulate PS3 games flawlessly as we barely have PS3 emulation on PCs. Technical part aside, it just doesn’t make business sense for Sony to invest in it. You also have to keep in mind if Sony offers PS3 emulation, it can’t stutter or crash on some games. it needs to be a commercial grade product which is not even guaranteed with PS2 or NES emulation on PC

tl;dr of the statement: Dolphin project is not in any danger but it won’t be released on steam.
