Reply to I was thinking of getting a Nintendo for my son’s 6th birthday. Is there anything I should know? And certain models or accessories? From what I understand it’s handheld, but we can hook it up to a TV and play games too? Any input is appreciated by [deleted]
- Nintendo is the brand, Switch is the model you want.
- Get the proper switch, not the Lite.
- Get two Pro controllers to go with it.
- Get a decent travel case
- Get a screen protector
- There's fun games for little kids on the online store, and the store sometimes has deals where you can get credit vouchers at a discount

Not sure if sarcasm or not. If not, it's not about the time. It's about being forced to use a crap launcher against your will when you've paid for the game of the launcher of your choice

If it handles like a brick in shit, I have problems getting into it.

This is extremely niche, but botw’s weapon durability system alone made me hate that game. It seems like a really cool game otherwise, but I absolutely fucking hated my weapons breaking constantly during fights.

Nah hahah I mean the footstep that the character leaves on the snow or sand, but especially snow. It just does not look natural most of the time. Maybe it's me and I'm just broken that specific way. 😂

It's horrible having to wait an extra 30 sec to play my games! Do these devs think we're just made of time or something?

You still get to keep them as they are only being delisted. You can re-download the game but you can also keep it on your device.

Not sure what you mean by similarly 🤔 unless you mean the character’s gait. I honestly don’t pay too much attention when I’m running around a slitherfang 😂 though I do appreciate the detail

Do Xbox have any games you can't just play on a PC?

Yes!
I was pretty excited to play monster Hunter when I saw it coming to gamepass. Then for like two hours the game constantly kept throwing up walls of text to explain mechanics of the game. Then I just said “fuck this. Im out.” I uninstalled it and never touched it again.

This. Compare two very drastically different games from the PS2 era: Dragon Quest VIII and Black.
The former still holds up well and looks fantastic for the most part, especially when you dial up the resolution on an emulator. Black... Does not, but was praised at the time for it's graphics.
The same thing is going to happen for games pushing "realism" today, twenty years from now. Between then and now a bunch of new rendering and modelling techniques will be discovered and new technologies will emerge which make the games of today look wooden and plastic. Maybe not in terms of raw polycount, but in numerous little details like fully rendered hair and clothing which moves and shifts realistically, soft textures having appropriate give (i.e. stand on a couch or in a puddle of mud, foot sinks in), rendering liquids as real volumes on the fly (i.e. dynamic rain which forms dynamic puddles and drains according to gravity), etc, etc.

A good art style ages well, photorealism looks dated in a few years.
wyrdafell t1_ja7gbfd wrote
I agree with the more technical problems people are commenting here but I honestly think FW is rather detailed, just looking at the actual textures of cloth / metal. There was already immense improvement in graphics from HFW, notably in Aloy’s model. Hair physics are admittedly a bit wacky sometimes, and there’s a few clipping issues. Never played GOW so I can’t vouch much for that… however, I have played RE7. Great game, though I also think it’s not as detailed as HFW. It is older, after all.

I'd also add
3.Photo-realism tend to look bad after some years but good stylized grapghics can stand the test of time.

To be honest, I haven't been able to play any EA games for months, because their damn launcher doesn't work. Even straight after a fresh install

Is that Forbidden West?
They are some of the better looking ones, but there is just something about the similarity of every step that you take that breaks the effect for me. Many games have this same "problem", not too big of a deal anyway, but we have to progress somehow. :D
