I think if you’re playing 1 new release game every month or two, you’re getting the value. I’m enjoying Avowed and Doom the Dark ages recently, but I’m very glad I didn’t pay for Doom.
Xbox has kind of been on a roll lately with the games they’ve added.
Epic games browser extension to see your library is 🤌 Must be difficult to implement! /s
But it’s okay for Goldman Sachs to demand that their workers augment their tasks with AI? Either it’s a tool that they are happy working with and incorporating into their business, or its not.

The irony of streaming services
Regarding BP:
Yeah, it feels like rolling credits on blue prince is just the beginning. I think you could have 100 hours in BP.
I feel the same way but will put more time into it if I get it on steam one day
Clair Obscur was awesome especially as a big fan of both old PS1 Final Fantasy and Sekiro/Souls games.
The comment I replied to believed that both the console and the game price is a scam, that is their valid opinion.
They criticised OP for “half caring about the rip off pricing”. OP didn’t think the console had ripoff pricing. Why is that a character flaw of op like is suggested by the commenter?
I played Blue Prince and Clair Obscur back to back on Game pass and I’ve got to say that these were two of the best games I’ve ever played in their respective genre. Makes me want to go back and try Myst/Riven.
Didn’t realise that consoles were sports teams that you were either in the club or out of it. OP is allowed to have a nuanced take.
The Switch 2 at 450 is still cheaper than Sony and Xbox’s launch pricing when adjusted for inflation. Kind of in line with previous generations over the last 30 years.
$80 games are more expensive than they have a right to be for sure, but the hardware I think is reasonably priced.
Bear in mind Switch 2 being a portable console puts it in a different category of device to PS5 and Xbox series consoles.
The new Asus Xbox would be really cool if they got quick resume working. That would then be a really decent Game pass + windows handheld machine. I can’t see myself moving away from my steam deck OLED for a while, quickly resume is the killer feature.
I’m an Australian so I’m not 100% sure on what you’re paying for other consoles at the moment, but the switch 2 hardware is cheaper than the base disc PS5 slim and Xbox series X over here. Don’t even get me started on PC hardware.
Xbox raising their prices to $80 isn’t a good sign. Sony increased the price of the PS5 over here recently even though it won’t be subject to any tariffs, to subsidise their losses in the US.
All that is to say that Nintendo aren’t being so anti-competitive relative to the industry that I think they’re going to be forced to drop prices
I think the average PC gamer on Lemmy isn’t going to see the value in the Switch 2. I’ve personally seen that for people that want things to just work the switch is a great console.
The Switch 2 is getting a little greedy with paid upgrades to switch 2 performance for switch 1 games, and that goes against the “just works” ethos.
If they can’t do that then this thing is kind of DOA. I’ve just assumed for some reason that this is what they’re doing.
LTT describes that the XBOX team have also trimmed down 2GB of W11 desktop bloat with this and have attempted to make the W11 experience more similar to a console. I’m curious to follow this. I’d imagine Microsoft are a bit intimidated by the fact that SteamOS is a better handheld gaming OS than Windows. Obviously this must have been in the pipeline for a long time now.
Smart song and game choice.
Totally. And then these rebuttals are time consuming to fact check too.
How very Petersonian of Person 1. JP would be proud by that level of semantics.
There really is an XKCD for everything.
