Ahhh, HOMM2, good times.

Should play the games again. Did a full storyline playthrough of the originals, from HOMM1-HOMM4 a couple of years back. Such a great time.

I still morn the loss of that universe. I never could get into HOMM5+. I had too much history baggage from the earlier games to start fresh with an arguably less interesting world.

Nintendo thinks of games as a way to drive hardware sales, and they aren’t particularly motivated by popularity that way. Case in point: releasing remakes/remasters of older Zelda titles on the switch would basically print money and they don’t seem to care at all. They don’t sell PCs so why would they care about PC?

Nope, todays VR market is nothing like it was before, I don’t have VR yet but it’s very clear it’s here to stay now, you can get VR headsets for a few hundred, that’s an easy enough entry price for many millions of people, the real difficulty is picking one out of the number of choices available, at least on PC.

I don’t like 3D movies, that is a gimmick with current technology, VR isn’t now, it just didn’t have the technology 20 years or more ago, now it does and is only getting better. VR and normal gaming will live side by side from now on, VR might not be as popular but it will always be here now and only get more mainstream as time goes on.
