Steam should offer "Console" prices to users who spend, say a 150k Steam Points with a purchase. Steam users with that many Steam Points will likely buy enough software to offset losses, while ensuring they don't sell at a loss to the mass PC market.

The wait is almost over--We are in the final week until my most anticipated game since 2017. I'm gonna use this moment to share some personal thoughts about the series, and the buildup towards this game--So that maybe, it'll show how much these games matter to ME.

Holy cow, this was probably my least favorite Game Awards to vote in--I played almost nothing in the nominations, and I only vote if I've played it. And why is Metroid Prime 4 not an option for most anticipated game!?

Since Death Stranding 2 is gonna win just to ensure Kojima gets a chance to step up onto stage, I'm just gonna take this opertunity to say: Bananza IS my choice--But Expedition 33 and Silksong are both great examples of what we need more of in the industry, passion projects by small teams.

Confession: I'm not actually a big fan of Half-Life, Left-4-Dead, Counter Strike, DOTA 2 or Team Fortress 2. Basically, the only VALVE series I actually adore is Portal--With that said, I'd STILL be hyped to see a Half-Life 3 announcement soon. I still wanna see the story continue, afterall.

I think the funniest thing about Aperture Science isn't that Cave bought a massive salt mine and put a bunch of human test subjects in it, it's that, for some reason, they built the facility from the bottom up--Like, the oldest layers are buried deep below the rest.

You know something kinda sad, if Portal 2 released today, it'd be hated for having "Marvel level writing" and "Wheatley is an annoying character always pointing out the obvious!" And THAT’S why you just have to learn to formulate your own opinion rather than parroting what everyone else is saying.

Y'all can doom and gloom about Prime 4 all you want, I'm shutting down the discussion after this and diving right into the pre-release hype. Game looks awesome, I've waited too long for this one to give a darn about a tutorial character being a bit annoying.

tbh I'm kinda excited to see Samus interact with a character that isn't overly serious, or a villain I wanna see her let out even a chuckle lol

See people already against the Galactic Federation members, but--Between Prime 4, Federation Force and Other M, they're pretty much a staple of the 3D games at this point. Personally, I liked what I saw in the overview trailer, it looked interesting imo

I can't wait to play Metroid Prime 4 and meet all these fun looking Sylux Cannon fodd--I mean, well written Galactic Federation characters.

I hate to say it, but VALVe proved they can count to three by announcing 3 pieces of hardware one week before Half Life's anniversary. Deadlock release date announcement soon confirmed!

"Steam Machine is a console killer!" No, no it's not. Steam Machine does not compete against consoles, and will likely not exceed 5 Million in lifetime sales. "Steam Machine is underpowered and pointless!" It is not a PC replacement, it is for users who use their Steam Deck, as a TV console.

Seeing people say this looks uncomfortable, but anyone who picked up a Steam Deck knows that this will probably be one of the best feeling controllers on the market, especially for PC games!

Steam Machine looks awesome--Will buy if reasonably priced! I don't play VR, but a device that isn't tethered to something is pretty tempting. The controller looks, interesting, I kinda want one just to feel it on my hands--Only new item I fully intend on buying rn!

youtu.be/B0DHucYYD0k?... Ok, great characters BUT STILL NO CLASSIC SONIC OR TANGLE?

Japan Focused Playstation State of Play, so obviously we'll be seeing Gravity Rush 1+2 and 3, Bloodborne 2 and 3, Persona 6, Nier 4, Final Fantasy Remake Part 3, Final Fantasy 17, new Dragon Quest and whatever else I can't make up on the spot.

You know, it's strange that with all our graphical power we have today, and everyone trying to sell nostalgia, that we haven't gotten a modern game that has attempted to emulate the look and atmosphere of boxart renders from the N64 days. We've seen fanmade models, but not full games!

I've been waiting for Microsoft to convince me to buy an Xbox for most my life, and now I can safely assume--I won't be needing to buy one in my lifetime, nor should I bother buying another Playstation.

Close enough, welcome back Star Fox

I feel a bit crazy looking at these upcoming releases and still seeing people say Switch 2 doesn't have any games. If anything, I don't have enough money to keep up with everything!

I think I have a clear preference here

I play less Mario Kart these days according to the data

Okay, I'm glad we finally have the ability to look over our play activity for Switch and all But why is in the Profile section of Nintendo's new Store Mobile app?

For someone who complains about these games so much, I've put a few hours into 'em!

All this time spent playing Smash and I still suck at it I think that's honestly more impressive than getting good at it!

I remember learning that my Brother's were using MY profile to watch Netflix all the time. Most of this was them just leaving the console on, not even watching anything. I WONDER why my Wii U died this year?

...I can explain

To people who's face have become a Meme, I wonder how weird it might be to have your face be other people's PFPs

Something I haven't really thought about till now, but it's strange that Nintendo doesn't do native ports of their old games and opts to emulate them instead. I'd pay for a Switch 2 port of Ocarina of Time that runs at 60fps like the PC versions!

It's funny that we use the term Remaster for video games, when the term literally means "Re-Mastered" as in Mastered again. But you know, especially if you have access to the original uncompressed or full resolution assets, the process CAN be described as a remaster imo!

IDK if this is the common opinion or not, but I think Thousand Year Door and Wind Waker both looked better on GC then either of their remasters. Metroid Prime has been Nintendo's only GC remaster that doesn't betray the original art style imo

OC - Hundun and Havok Happy Halloween!

The last time we got a new Metroid Prime game: -GTA 4 was still a year away from release -Half Life 2 - Episode 2 was still a month from release -Skyrim was still four years from release -Hollow Knight wouldn't exist for another decade -The 6th generation of consoles were still being sold in stores

So, an Animal Crossing Switch 2 update for $5, and a free update that includes playable NES games (With NSO of course), as well as Zelda themed furniture? Honestly, I might actually boot the game up again! Also, the Original game should be available on NSO imo

According to the Metroid Prime book that just released, Retro was motivated after Metroid Prime 2 by promising them their next game could be a DK game. Then Nintendo deemed a Metroid on Wii was more important than a DK game, so Prime 3 was pushed ahead of schedule--That's pretty sad actually.

Sonic 1 is the one I play when I feel like playing all the games Sonic 2 is the one I'll play the most. Sonic CD is the one I can beat the quickest. Sonic 3&K is my favorite, but I don't always have time to play. Mania makes me feel like a child again. Superstars makes me beyond happy to play!

PS1 - Has 0 exclusives I care about PS2 - Has 7 exclusives I care about PSP - Has 5 exclusives I care about PS3 - Has 0 exclusives I care about PSV - Has 0 exclusives I care about PS4 - Has 3 exclusives I care about PS5 - Has 1 exclusive I care about

Watched the Chainsaw Man movie last night--A perfect adaptation of my favorite Manga. THIS, is the style I hope they go with for the next season. S1 was good, but as a HUGE Fujimoto fan, it wasn't what I wanted from the CSM Anime. The movie had no compromises, a solid 10/10 adaptation and film!

"Pokémon is fun" Said some random guy only to be tackled by a hundred random guys who dislike Pokémon but never actually play it

Hyrule Warriors next month, kinda forgot about that, BUT, I'm pretty darn hyped for it, ngl!

I had more fun with each individual Ace Attorney game than I have with every Open World game I've played combined. A game doesn't need fancy graphics or a big world to explore, as long as the game itself is fun. This is why Legends Z-A, might be my favorite Pokémon game.

We grew up in a house where getting spanked was the immediate punishment for anything. My Sister and I would always pretend it didn't hurt just to be annoying, we'd get hit again, and pretend to laugh. If we got put in time out, we'd stay put far longer after we were told we could move.

Donkey Kong Bananza, Mario Galaxy 1+2, Yooka-Replaylee and Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac all got pretty good reception this year. Astro Bot won GotY last year. Games like Bubsy 4D are being hyped up for next year. Can I say that 3D platformers are back AND relevant across the industry again?

We all know The Simpsons has long outlived the best of its days--I'm not gonna be a bore and say they should just quit while they're ahead or anything. BUT, this new movie has an opportunity to either lower the curtains on a high note, and finally put the show to rest--Or age up the characters.

Top Playstation Consoles - Least Favorite to Favorite 9 - PS Xperia Play 8 - PSTV 7 - PSX (One) 6 - PS5 5 - PS Vita 4 - PS3 3 - PS2 2 - PSP 1 - PS4

I don't really understand the "Guys don't know anything about their friends", like do you just not talk to the people in your life? In one conversation I can get a stranger to basically spill out their life story just by showing a LITTLE interest--It ain't that hard to be curious about people lol

So, with the Virtual Boy having like 14 games, yet Nintendo selling a dock for it--How long realistically can they drip feed that library? What if, Nintendo had plenty more VB games to release, but when they killed the console, the games never saw the light of day? New VB games possibly?

Three things that would be needed for me to accept Generative AI: 1 - All Data must only be obtained from a companies internal database, from works they own. 2 - All Energy must be sourced from renewable sources, that do not damage the local environment. 3 - No jobs can be lost because of AI.

There's some pretty credible rumors that Xbox is officially dead as the brand will move away from hardware and focuses entirely on software. Not surprising, especially after the official Xbox handheld was canned--My guess is we'll see "Xbox PCs" from third parties though.
