AAA games have been permafucked ever since Capcom realized with the RE4 remake that you can just wait until the reviews are out before sneaking in microtransactions.

subnautica's on sale for switch, worth getting?

if you've never played it yes, once you get a handle on the survival mechanics, it's one of the most chill and engrossing survival / exploration games

sub auto a kicks aaa but I wouldn’t play it on the switch. it’s buggy and performance starved enough on the PC. plus with base building you really want a mouse and KB

The GBA was pretty much the peak of portable gaming, everything since has lost 3 things it did well to improve on 1.

Basically it's probably not even possible to top the GBA and Switch until we get holographic quantum batteries or something, that's the big limiting factor for any system.

If anybody is interested in FFXVI but don't have the $570 minimum to play it, just watch an anime while mashing the square button on a controller during the fight scenes

my hot take is that OLEDs are cool and all but the issue of burnin is still enough that they go bad after like 3-5 and as such they're not worth the purchase

there's a video where a guy left his oled switch on a single image for over 400 days and at that point it got kinda bad yeah

The nice thing about the Switch Subnautica port is that the stuff it struggles with is the same stuff it struggles with on PC. The pop-in is bad but it is on the PC as well lol, but in every other way it's one of the best games I've played and is a steal at :10bux:

no joke the game pays royalties to the oceangate company. because they trademarked the name cyclops for subs and sent a letter to the game I guess

Tragic news today as another private deep sea venture company reports loss of a prototype one man exploration suit, which has been found immovably wedged between the sea floor and an overhang that was just barely too low to allow the suit to move. Experts report that the pilot "should've known better, what did they think was going to happen"

my nostalgia maxes out with ffX so that's the best one

12 was cool that it was more political I guess and the MMO style combat was fine. Ivalice is definitely the best final fantasy setting

I only ever played 7 X and 12

oh drat I did play 13 but that game is literally forgettable. you just hold the stick forward and press A over and over during combat and there's no interesting story at all. I formed no memories will beating it on xbox

12 is really good in a lot of ways that aren't the main story (which does get decent by the end)

if you loved FF8, and you like more open ended exploratory gameplay, it's probably the last great FF for you

you gotta vibe with the gambit system tho

it's a really long, slow build to a pretty obvious resolution, like someone at Square was like "ohhh all our games are about killing GOD eh, well let's just make a story about killing GOD" then you kill God

FFXII was one of my favorites. I'd given up on the direction the series was going with X but it turns out I was exactly one single player installment too premature and it was after THAT one that all the stuff I liked about the series got removed or sidelined

Subnautica on switch works well enough and you can even use console commands so when it inevitably fucks up and your mech suit clips through the seafloor you can just spawn another
