More Fortnite on Switch. Got a few wins.  I'm loving the dual pistols.

Are we done calling shitty, terrible ports miraculous yet? Wow, it's a miracle, they did it, but no one wants it, so who fucking cares? I want good games, not crap so compromised that it's embarrassing. 

Just because you dont want it, doesn't mean others don't.  DOOM sold well, according to Bethesda, regardless of what you think is compromised or embarrassing.  The switch community seems to be ok with lesser ports, remasters, indies and Nintendo exclusives. Gamers seem happy and companies supporting Switch are making money. Win win.

Well in general, I'll be the resident Jeff Bakalar fanboy if I have to be, but I still think the guy is worth listening to and generally knows his stuff. 

I agree. Duder is great.

It's definitely more muted than if it were EA, but people certainly aren't pleased with Sony about this. 

 

I hope more devs keep calling them out on it until they cave. Good on Todd Howard for this. He doesn't have to do that. 

Yeah, it takes balls these days to call out a company these days, which is kind of sad.  Especially if you have a following. 

Sony is taking a PR beating since E3.  

Damn, I wasn't trying to throw my boy Bakalar under the bus. Just adding some positive perspective that wasn't mine.  Same with adding a positive take from DF, instead of harping on a bulletpoint.

Jeff Bakalar on the Giant Beastcast said it looked damn good.

And from the Digital Foundry article:

But the proof of the pudding is once again in the tasting, and as a technological achievement, Wolfenstein 2 on Switch is even more miraculous than its predecessor.

I did 3nd up getting Luminous.  Missing my PSP.  It's crazy how much better the PSP was than the Vita.  

Shity month for "free" games from MS and Sony.

Congrats to the winners.  Whatcha getting?

I may get Luminous tonight.

I'm glad to see so many come back after the fall.  

More Fortnite. 

Got a Victory Royale in Squad, but chose to solo it, lol.

Sony went from the absolute dominant market leader in the PS2 days to dead even at best and losing the hearts and minds of gaming consumers (which MS in turn handed back to them at the beginning of this generation). 

 

This shit matters. 

 

These big companies are still run by old baby boomers who never evolved with the times. They’ll be on your side until they feel like they don’t need to be financially, and then they’ll feed you shit and tell you it’s cherry pie.

 

Smart companies have already figured out that the younger generation will more likely support you if you take care of them. None of the gaming companies have quite gotten there yet. 

 

Well said.

I loved watching it. Not so much playing it.

Realized that PUBG wasn't original either?

Sony not a fan of being the butt of lots of jokes? Nothing better than their initial response where they tried to spout sales figures instead of addressing of using a feature that moves all of gaming forward.  The minority may be all that cares, but between them and the media, Sony is taking a PR beating.

Congrats to @osxmatt

As a longtime Pokemon fan, I'm looking forward to Let's Go more than the mainline game at this point. I'm not sure if it'll be good or not, but it'll be different, and for fuck's sake, if Pokemon needs anything, it needs to stop being the exact same outdated piece of shit every release.

100% agree. I like that it seems streamlined, but still looks to have the depth, if you want it.  I preordered the Eevee bundle for my daughter. She loves the 30 evolutions of that pokemon.

Thanks @SFLUFAN! Xenoblade 2 would be wonderful. 

That game was fucking amazing.  Best JRPG I have played in quite some time.

I started Final Fantasy XV last night on PC, thanks to @SimpleG.  That games optimization is kind of funky.  I can maintain 60fps most of the time, but every once in a while, it drops to like 5fps, for what seems like no good reason.  Game looks very nice.

Dragon Quest XI

 

Probably Tomb Raider, AC: Odyssey and RDR2, though maybe not at launch.

 

Next year looks to be amazing though.

I just read the Switch version is getting exclusive content. Maybe to make up for coming out later.

Tonight's recipient is @Iculus!

 

I've decided to run the contest for the entire week as a "thank you" to the community for its  patience and sticking  around during our D1Pocalypse!

I was getting scared it was gone forever. I was over the moon when I got the email to come back. Like, I literally did one of these:

The Windows Edition IS the Royal Edition. Except with better graphics, performance and mod support.

That's why I wanted to get it on PC rather than for my PS4 Pro. 

Thank you so much @SimpleG

I just got the email.  I'll download tonight. My wife thanks you too!
