Holy shit. That is some high praise across those reviews.

Looking like this will be a mega win for Game Pass. Can’t wait to play it tomorrow.

Only the parts that were actually helpful to real people. All the bad shit remains.

Who is going to actually pay for all this AI junk once all the investors decide it’s time to stop “disrupting the market and gaining share” and time to start charging people what it actually costs to run (plus margins)?

Like, I use ChatGPT and Copilot and shit because it’s free, but if it were $5/month I’d happily walk away.

Still gonna skip this and hope for a 3DS-like price drop around the holidays. I’m really hoping Nintendo misses their sales targets big time because fuck these prices.

Was building new worth it?

I’m interested in this but I have no idea what all is required.

Yes, this is what tariffs do.

Consumers explain why they don’t give a fuck; too expensive is too expensive.

The email says that the employees’ reduction-in-force notices “are not cancelled, however, NIH leadership is actively working on a long-term solution.” The Office of Human Resources “leadership and staff have no additional information to provide and asks that questions be directed to your leadership,” the email continues.

What the fuck does this even mean? You’re still fired, but not today, so get back to work because someone might unfire you for real later?

Article is paywalled.

So basically $450+ to play Nintendo IP games at a current-gen caliber level.

This pricing just sucks. Unless you’re a Mario Kart or DK fanboy, you’re probably better off with PS5 or XSX.

Yes

Launch date?

For real. EA spent north of $10M on streamer sponsorships for the Apex Legends launch and that was like 7 years ago.

…and will be forever

These are some stupid company names.

LOL what kinda bullshit comment is this?

The people in the White House are idiots. They choose Signal because they’re either dumb/negligent -or- because they have been intentionally avoiding record preservation requirements.

Signal is a solid app for sure, but these dipshits didn’t choose it for being the right tool for the job here, as it certainly is not.

What kind of first-world county would let it slip?

Glances nervously in US

This sounds to me like the right way to combat secondhand sales. Rather than making the game shitty and/or locking features behind online-only, unlock-keyed connections, they added a content mechanic that was actually fun.

I mean, this is basically the entire premise behind roguelike games, just applied to an action RPG instead (in a small way).

Seems like this will be fun in moderation. I set up a price watch to grab this when it’s under $10.

Thank you for articulating one of the many reasons that it should not be privatized.
