Actually owning a console is pointless because almost all AAA releases are absolute trash and PCs have a larger indie game market.

Maybe it's just the kind of weirdoes I surround myself with. People who played it loved it but actual sales numbers werent there to the point where after two under performing games Bethesda had to send out assurances Arkane wasnt being shuttered.

Oh. Figures. And yet a generic multiplayer shootman game with a token campaign or perhaps another yearly iteration of football game featuring a new number on the box probably reports record sales. Gamers are trash

The best indie games are better than the best AAA games, but for the most part indie games are worse than the worst AAA games. Doom 3 is, of course, the perfect game.

Ok that might be cheating based on everything I’ve heard about the console being an eldritch hardware nightmare

Basically any strategy RPG or management game is lovely with gamepads. Platformers are lovely with mouse and keyboard. FPS is serviceable with gamepad and I like using them for games like new Wolfenstein where my aim doesn't matter as much because I'm not fighting against other players, but if I wanna have any snap aiming I gotta have a mouse. Basically what I'm saying is port all games to work with the Switch joycons, obviously christmas boots posted:Is that thing Demon's Souls?

Shibawanko posted:It's a correct opinion Yeah I don't think that I could even do an Endless mode in XCOM, by the time that I'm done with the campaign I'm just pushing through to the end and not having fun anymore. Invisible Inc keeps remaining fresh and interesting even up to like day 15 (where I'm at now)

SEGA is especially egregious with this kind of thing, the first Total Warhammer is still a nominal $60 when it's not on sale
