@ValentineMeikin nintendo can’t afford to do what $ony or M$ does by putting their games on other platforms anyway. if nintendo “wins” a “console war” then it’ll be short lived as PC will see the biggest growth it’s ever seen because i can’t imagine an industry with only nintendo as a “‘main” console 🤮 that would be horrible.
@RagnarLothbrok PC is pretty future proof and appealing these days, you wont regret it. especially since Xbox is already integrated into it, so you almost literally still have an xbox (that can also play PS games and emulate some nintendo games 😃)
oh wait- i misread your comment , you already have one
good. let’s all share games, we’re all gamers right? more games = more money = more new IP (i hope ffs because this generation has been LACKING new ideas/IPs)
@WildConcept6 it’s actually sick how much of a pass nintendo gets. if you dare see them as any other corporation (sony/ms) and have no bias for them, and worst of all, criticize - then you’re looked at as a bad person and troll
@DarthAmmii i couldn’t agree more. we need xbox360 era like games back again. single player with CLASSIC (online) multiplayer or co-op/ or single player only. live service ruins both single player and multiplayer games 👎 everyone’s just chasing the next fortnite shooter with microtransactions and GARBAGE “battle pass” and seasonal skins , it’s so garbage now.
go back to making creative games with lore and add multiplayer if it fits the game with no live service & season bs or battle pass garbage
Favorite halo memory is experiencing halo CE for the first time since it was the last bungie halo i played (H3 being the first); i really liked the campaign and late 90s silliness the game had despite being an early 2000s game. all the weapons we’re ridiculously powerful, the enemy ai is amazing, the levels are super atmospheric and the game still has the best introduction of the flood to date. reach is my overall favorite halo though - content and all, except i thought the campaign was underwhelming but still better than H3 campaign.
With that said though, i’m getting jaded seeing all the halo nostalgia on social media lately, it’s becoming more depressing and longing for the past more than reminiscing or homage. the climate of xbox & halo today doesn’t help that depressing feeling either; i wish we had new exciting good things today that we can make for fond nostalgic memories tomorrow. tired of the bleak present
Why are we comparing a home console to a handheld console? nintendo failed & bailed out of the home console space, so why are they still being compared?
either “nintendo is doing there own thing” or not…
compare it to the steamdeck, it’s actual competitor in which it’s absolutely inferior to
@DaveTheRave it’s not the 90s - early 2010s anymore. your assertion is wildly outdated 😂 PC gaming is on the verge of becoming a monolith - games from all brands except nintendo(excluding emulation of course) and multiple ways to play them, free online, superior hardware and performance, superior deals, mods, emulators etc and it’s easier than ever to get into. it’s a gaming paradise 😂
this is ******g awful. this is the worst console generation of all time. to say that this era of gaming is better than the ps4/360/og xbox era is a BOLD LIE!!
@Batfan2425 i have no idea why it’s taking so long. i have a bad feeling that gears 1 won’t hold a new audience too long - but gears 2 on the other hand was a massive step up and gears 3 is the goat!
@smoreon good points; yes, spotify is sub only, but you can download the songs to your device as a premium member. i have no idea what happens if the subscription were to end though - most likely you’d be unable to play the downloaded songs and have your playlists downgraded to being susceptible to ads.
also gonna play devils advocate here in defense of spotify - i’d say that’s more of a digital vs physical argument. i got a big library of music on spotify (premium so no ads) & the conveniency and versatility of it is a godsend. even my 360 and ps3 has a mostly digital library. basically what i’m saying is, id still consider holding onto something digitally as keeping it around
