Vipsu@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•New report suggests third-party Switch 2 game sales are "below estimates"English6·12 days agoA lot of players and local venues prefer PS4, PS5 and PC for fighting games. If you have licensed PS4/PS5 arcade stick it should work on all three of these platforms. Unlicensed ones might not work with PS5 games. Switch is mostly just for melee.
That being said game key-cards seem largely inferior to physical versions on other platforms even if you likely have to patch most games these days anyways.
Vipsu@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•New report suggests third-party Switch 2 game sales are "below estimates"English36·12 days agoSwitch 2 had a wider selection, with 13 physical games available at launch.
Many gamers do not count game key-cards as physical games. Just another version of code in a box. Cyberpunk is probably only actual physical 3rd party release on switch.

Valve also just recently allowed other manufacturers like Lenovo to produce their own devices.
PC gaming is currently overshadowing console gaming and these pc handhelds are just extension of that.

Vipsu@lemmy.worldto Suomi@sopuli.xyz•Uusnatsit yrittivät järjestää salaa kesätapahtuman, mutta Sinimustan liikkeen aktiivit paljastivat vahingossa osallistujiasuomi4·21 days agoVaikea keskittyä varsinaiseen artikkeliin kun uutisen valokuva on jotenkin niin häiritsevän vihreä.
Sinimustaliike vaikuttaa ainakin vielä melko marginaalipuolueelta. Heiltä puuttuu Halla-ahon kaltainen näkyvä ja vaikutusvaltainen hahmo, puolueella on vielä paljon töitä saavuttaakseen edes jonkinlainen salonkikelpoisuus ja monet suomalaiset ovat saaneet oikeistopopulismista sormilleen jo useamman kerran perussuomalaisten toimesta. Eu vastaisuus on myös jotain joka kuulostaa melko hullunkuriselta samalla kun Venäjä sotii Ukrainassa ja Yhdysvallat harrastaa kauppasotaa.
En ihmettelisi myöskään jos Trumpin sekoilut Ameriikassa vieraannuttaisi ihmisiä lähemmäs poliittista keskustaa. Maahanmuuttokaan ei ole enää muutamaan vuoteen ollut niin iso juttu kuin se oli Syyrian sisällissodan aikoihin.
Toki voin elää jossain omassa vasemmistokuplassa.
Vipsu@lemmy.worldto Suomi@sopuli.xyz•'Why do they hate her?' James O'Brien's Madleen monologue | LBCsuomi61·21 days agoMietityttää johtuuko se vain siitä että paikallisia suomalaisia inhottaa tyylini jakaa linkkejä, vai niiden linkkien sisältö?
Todennäköisesti se johtuu tästä sinun verbaalista ulosannistasi joka on poikkeuksellisen provosoivaa, agressiivista, epäkunnioittavaa. Tämä saa moderaattorit varpailleen ja monet muut keskustelijat eivät välttämättä halua minkäänlaisiin tekemisiin kanssasi.
Mitä tulee linkkiisi niin siinä joku monelle suomalaiselle täysin tuntematon Britti keskustelee Podcastissa jostain Israel Ghaza asioista jotka eivät liitty Suomeen oikeastaan millään tavalla. Lisäksi youtube podcast on jaettu jonkun epämääräisen sivuston kautta. Tänne sopisi paremmin artikkelit jotka käsittelevät Suomen Israel politiikkaa tai Gretan vierailuja suomeen tai kommentteja Suomesta.
Vipsu@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Switch 2 Breaks Records By Selling Over 3.5 Million Units In Four DaysEnglish211·21 days agoAside from the analog sticks, the console itself seems like a fine upgrade from the original making it a tempting for anyone looking for “Switch Pro”. But it’ll be intersting to see how the price of games and the digital key aspect will affect the game sales down the line.
Steam Deck and other portable pc:s seem to be also getting a lot of momentum so there’s increasing amount of competition for handheld devices which was not really the chase with Switch 1.

(Probably some a.i article)
Seems like this is already a thing in Genshin impact and some players have been succesful with it.
Reddit and Hoyoverse forums seem to have handful of people doing this.
Vipsu@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Almost 19% of Japanese people in their 20s have spent so much money on gacha they struggled with covering living expenses, survey reveals - AUTOMATON WESTEnglish1·2 months agoYeah no gatcha is no gatcha, no wishes so you would have to make due with starter characters and stuff you can earn without pulls/wishes.
Its basically challenge run that also tests how good the game actually is without any gambling elements.
In Puzzle and Dragons it was possible to clear dungeons to get new characters and some where really good. It was also possible to use premium currency for continues allowing one to use brute force methods to clear dungeons. It was also possible to pair your leader with friends leader reducing the need for gatcha.
Vipsu@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Almost 19% of Japanese people in their 20s have spent so much money on gacha they struggled with covering living expenses, survey reveals - AUTOMATON WESTEnglish31·2 months agoSome of the F2P games are great especially if you cant afford new games. In some you can just ignore all cosmetics and focus on getting good. Hell make using default skins your identity and some gamers may get extra salty if they get their ass handed to them by someone using “noob skins”.
As for gatcha games it depends largely where the paywall is. If its in the late/endgame then you may very well get tens if not hundreds of hours of enjoyment before you get there. Some of them also shower you with premium currency early on to get you hooked so you might eventually end up with pretty good team to clear most of the content without spendi g a dime.
Vipsu@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Almost 19% of Japanese people in their 20s have spent so much money on gacha they struggled with covering living expenses, survey reveals - AUTOMATON WESTEnglish4·2 months agoStopped playing Puzzle and dragons after clearing tower of gods for umpteenth time to “efficiently” consume my stamina so it would not get wasted.
Had this “wtf I am doing with my life moment” as I was no longer having fun and clearing the dungeon over and over was simply booring time waster.
Started ignoring daily login bonuses and only played when there was new content. Soon after that stopped playing all together.
Vipsu@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Almost 19% of Japanese people in their 20s have spent so much money on gacha they struggled with covering living expenses, survey reveals - AUTOMATON WESTEnglish2·2 months agoHow do you think genshin impact would work with no gatcha challenge?
Meanin no gatcha pulls other than maybe forced tutorial one. You’d have to make due with only characters and gear you can earn without gatcha. Premium currency earned by playing can be used for anything else but not for any gatcha.
I recall reading that even the tutorial gatcha pull is always the same.
Vipsu@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Almost 19% of Japanese people in their 20s have spent so much money on gacha they struggled with covering living expenses, survey reveals - AUTOMATON WESTEnglish8·2 months agoPlayed Puzzle and dragons for like 3 years when mobile games where booming and spend like total of 300€ to it.
Honestly it was pretty good and did not feel nearly as predatory as many other mobile gatcha games I’ve played after that.
But it did kinda red pill me on F2P games, gatcha, fomo, peer pressure and many other manipulative methods these games use. The fact that Gungho ended up closing the servers down in Europe making people lose their accounts also showcased pretty well how temporary these games are.
Now if I’ll ever again play games with gatcha I’ll do no gatcha “challenge” run. It’s pretty good for gauging whether the game is actually any good and how fast you’ll hit the paywall.
Vipsu@lemmy.worldto memes@lemmy.world•Steam does what Nintendoes and Nintendon'tEnglish23·3 months agoSteam is clearly playing the long game with Steam Deck and Steam OS, they’re basically trying to slowly normalize portable gaming pcs. If they achieve this Nintendo will not be just facing competition from Steam Deck but from multiple devices from the likes of Asus, Lenovo, Dell (Alienware).
Not just Pokemon, I am sure there are many who where hoping for Switch Pro before Nintendo crushed their hopes and dreams with Switch OLED. People have been testing Switch 1 games on Switch 2 and most of them seem to run on very stable frame-rate on Switch even without an upgrade pack.
This will lead to stronger console sales but not necessarily to game sales at least not in the short run.
