I’ve been wondering this exact thing lately. I’ve got a retro handheld that is breaking because the company seems to have used cheap parts internally, and they no longer support repairs or selling the parts. After only a year of owning it, I feel pretty annoyed, so started looking at alternatives. Steam deck was one I was considering, but the price point means I’ll need to save for a while.
I played the Wii and the HD. Both many times, but I couldn’t tell you the difference other than the controls. Not sure if that says more about me, or the game…
All of those are due to the drastic increase in jobs during covid. This is happening in many, many tech related careers. It is not because of inclusivity. Get your head out of your ass.
I can’t be the only one that has had issues with game pass, can I? I’ve tried it 3 separate times for 2-3 months each on three different PCs, and every time I’ve had different issues.
The windows client has been buggy. Sometimes clicking things just… doesn’t work. The pathing for save files is done in such a way that you can’t transfer them from PC to PC. Some games just straight up not working. The list went on for me. I figured I’d keep giving it another try on a new system, but not anymore.
I’ve read some people have absolutely zero issues after years of using it. I wonder why the experiences vary so highly from user to user. Game Pass was an interesting service, but a horrible experience for me.
Something to consider. With conversion, new games are usually $80-$100 in Canada.
People still buy them.
The original Resident Evil 4 was, I believe, the first to change up the format from the fixed camera, among other things it shook up. RE4 and RE4R are very similar games, while the remakes of RE2 and RE3 are pretty different from their originals.
It’s weird that a game can be made after initially being backed by fans and then absolutely slated by those same fans, but I guess the world works in mysterious ways.
How is this weird at all? People hopped on it because they wanted more Megaman by a major creator and contributor to many Megaman games. Turns out, with only one cog in the Megaman machine, a great game does not make.
Perhaps you should have started with that source, then. I just pointed out your other source meant nill.
As for the rest, I haven’t downvoted you at all, but my guess on what your personality was like seems to be correct with all the choice buzzwords you spout. Not really a good look for the crusade you’re trying to expose, friend.
Your “ousting of Hennig” is hilariously weak, since your sources only source has since backtracked its reports and apologised.
The rest of your comment just reeks too much of buzzwords that I can barely comprehend it, though I tried.
I don’t think it sucks, but I have a lot of opinions about some of the balancing and character abilities.
It’s fun enough for me and I enjoy playin with friends, but I don’t think I’ve quite found a character that really speaks to how I like to play - which is a bit odd considering how many characters there are.
I’ve got my own moral stances and companies I won’t give the time of day because of that.
But damn, do I not post about them every single time someone mentions them, or in threads where people are enjoying themselves. Get over yourself.
I don’t think it was very challenging, but the game played without trying to collect everything is around 30 hours, which doesn’t seem short to me.
I’m just going to post this comment to this thread as well, since this is newer. Classic shifting of blame and no one taking responsibility for scummy actions.
Fun fact: Funko’s current CEO is the ex-president of Wizards of the Coast!
Why is this relevant? Well, under her leadership, WotC sent pinkerton agents to someone’s home to threaten them because they got some Magic the Gathering cards early. She said things like Dungeons & Dragons players were under-monetised, pushing to make the Table Top game more like a microtransaction-filled video game, and helped with the OGL scandal.
The OGL, for anyone unfamiliar, was an Open Gaming License WotC had for years with D&D 3rd party creators. It allowed certain things to be created using D&D mechanics and lore by anyone that followed its guidelines and allowances. A couple years ago, WotC tried to change that so they would make more money off of people trying to create things for D&D - to profit off of indie creators passionate about the game. There was a huge backlash, and they eventually went back on this decision.
All this to say, you can see what kind of leader the current Funko CEO is, and what’s happening with itch isn’t surprising to me.

It’s an “active pursuit” which sounds like they have nothing yet. So I doubt it will even be 2 years.
Alan Wake is a game that should be right up my alley, but I don’t think it’s a particularly good game. It’s very repetitive, the gameplay doesn’t evolve that much. The story is fine, and the world is interesting. I haven’t played the sequel, particularly because I didn’t really enjoy my time with the first, but I’ve heard it’s much improved over the first.
I think it might be my favourite of the Ys series, to be honest. So simple and fun.
The latter two are a much more broad and prevalent issue in the gaming industry overall. No need for the whataboutism.
If you ever go on YouTube not logged into your account (or in a provate browser), the default stuff on the homepage are: one lo-fi stream, Mr. Beast latest video, and the rest is all right wing feaemonger stuff.
I’m still meaning to try any of the silent hill games, but I’ve played both the original RE4 and the new remake multiple times each. I think they’re both fantastic.
