ah bull
BULL-EXCREMENTS
games progressed up until...
Chair (a branch of Epic, i believe) somehow managed to get UE3 running on as early as iphone 3gs
and then released infinity blade
then the only major step in mobile game development was that one idTech 3 shooter with MTX (one of the first, if not THE first mobile game with in-app purchaces)
and then the rest is history
so on one hand we had this tech marvel of a roguelite with a cool concept and awesome production values
and on the other - a crappy shooter running on an outdated tech... BUT WITH MICROTRANSACTIONS! 
and the industry ran with the latter
and the rest is history
i hate this timeline 
but after that - everything really slowed down

And they removed Infinity Blade AND its sequels from the market :/

dire condor
Apple in particular has a policy about a certain frequency of updates to keep games available
fathom juniper
I don't get the thought process behind delisting old games
it's licencing, mostly
keeping old games alive usually costs some money - either from keeping the servers up, paying for services, licencing the software used or - which is the worst - licencing the music
this is why we can't have burnout back
because EA is apparently too poor to licence a bunch of 20 years old songs

i really only said that bc ive seen people in various places say that theyre boycotting epic and whatever without any ounce of self-awareness for the products they use lol. most recent example i can recall was someone asking about a dll file in a game, someone said it was epic/tencent, and then the whole thread went on about omg awful spyware epic bad im not buying this game! and it turns out it was literally something used for multiplayer. and also whining on steam forums about spyware is quite comical in itself, nevermind that i doubt any of those people were very rigid with their own infosec. its just pointless kneejerking any time epic comes up

What transgressions have they committed to warrant your hate
Tl:dr, the way in which they treat their devs is abhorant as well as the amount of forced or coerced crunch, the many hypocritical things the founder has said either in regards to steam or pc gaming in general. The epic launcher is arguably still bare bones even years after it first launching.
However epic are doing some good things, the profit split with devs is the best in industry afaik and it's time the old 70:30 split dies (at the very least for digital sales)

But Nintendo, thier games are so popular so they can stay pricey no discount even games been out for monthssss
fathom juniper
most people stick to just one gaming platform, right?
and if you're in camp sony you basically have no choice but to buy games from sony - where they have all the control
but if your platform of choice is a PC - there's more competition there
if you don't like steam then you're free to go and buy games from EGS or ea origin on uplay or gog or whatever
or just install the game straight from a disc (which is rare nowadays) or... just pirate it
that's why this store's cut was such a big deal back when EGS launched
dire condor
Steam exists for a long time

The main reason is Sony doesnt make money on selling hardwares

it's really good at translating those early D1 and D2 feels... just without the loot

do yourself a favor - play it in co-op with someone
get a buddy of a family member or hell - teach your dog how to hold the dualshock
just get someone

I'll do that uh...sometime in the near future 😅

it makes the whole game so much better

Tiny little issue, I'm playing it on the Switch Lite
fathom juniper
wait
oh yeah i was about to ask what platform you're on
does this game even have online co-op?

If it was any other model, it would be a cinch, but this one plays on a not-that-big screen and it cannot be connected to a PC nor to the TV
fathom juniper
just wait till you get to one of those challenges that require you to kill all enemies in the zone and then one of them decides that teleporting into a wall is a totally reasonable and cool thing to do
and just sits there
can't hit em, they can't hit you
and it's just
it... has some minor bugs
teeny tiny bugs
the sounds like to bug the hell out too when there's a lot of enemies
and there can be...
A LOT of enemies on the screen at the same time

Don't worry, already died on the first dungeon, like, three times

oh - it's fine
it does the hades thing where death is almost mandatory to progress the story - cause it gets you back to your house where story develops
and as you do you unlock new characters to play as
and they're so varied that sooner or later you're gonna find someone who fits your playstyle
or you can always hop on over to the roguelite mode and Getrekt as you test out all the characters to see who fits best

there's a lot of switch owners here

Dusk? 🤔

DUSK!
also known as Blood 2 (the proper one)
of of the best boomy shooty games ever made
also - 10/10 soundtrack 
but yeah - i've been trying to convince my fren to expand his gaming horizons, so to speak
give different games a shot
got lucky with deus keks (after he got burned on cyberpunk oof) and he's got a switch so i thought i could recommend dusk
signal kayak
Looks like Doom in a way
fathom juniper
i'm just worried it may feel sluggish on joycons
signal kayak
Haven't played it, don't like FPS games myself
fathom juniper
give it a shot
it's so much more than just a shooter
it actually started as an... immersive sim
and some of the systems are still there
i mean - it is a pure blood FPS game - no doubt about it
but don't let the simple looks deceive you
signal kayak
That's the thing, I just don't like the genre, it makes me feel anxious
fathom juniper
oh yeah - this one has some serious horror vibes
signal kayak
Then it's unfortunately a pass for me 🤷♂️

and i mean
oof - it may not be pure spooks, but it has some stuff that has some massive implications

it's spooks are more about context than content, so to speak

I almost gave Metroid Prime 3 a shot but the controls were pretty jarring for me, on top of the problem I have with FPS
fathom juniper
oh - the prime series has a pretty unusual control scheme for a console FPS
dusk has more of your standard modern FPS control scheme
signal kayak
3 in particular, the other two are ok kind of
fathom juniper
i'm just curious about the feel
cause you really need this mouse and keyboard 60fps twitchy movement to get through it on hard
and i just wonder if the joycons are up to that task
but yeah - if anything, at least i hope they ported all the accessibility options over from the PC version
cause despite being loud and fast and gory - dusk is still one of the most accessible FPS games out there - making it a great choice for newcomers
at least on PC
and - you know - the more accessibility options we have
the more people can enjoy good viddy
oh well this looks promising

Steam Deck or Switch?
i have a switch and dont use it much because you sort of need to rebuild your library and nintendo game sales are ehh, it also depends on what games you are interested in - like, if you want the exclusives, yknow
with steam deck you already have the games, right? and if you go out a lot and want to take your existing library with you
fathom juniper
i'd love to get a steamed deck, buuuuuuuuutttt...
1 - i'd rather save this money in this current... super stable economy
and 2 - i'm scared of being an early adopter
this stuff rarely goes well

theyre also not worldwide yet i believe
fathom juniper
i'd rather wait for them to iron all the kinks out and maybe release a second hardware revision or something

Steam Deck def better fits me
but I can't buy a Deck while I can buy a Switch
"can't" as in by the time I get my Deck might as well buy a Deck 2 lol

Okay, but like what if the deck goes on sale for 50% this summer sale

50%?
that's a bit too much - i doubt they're gonna go this low
