Nintendo: we can go higher.
So they're charging $80 upfront for Mario Kart World, but at least they aren't trying to up-sell you on $100 or $130 editions for additional content... Or if you prefer direct comparison to another kart racer releasing this year, Sonic Racing Crossworlds will be $70, but they're asking $90 for the deluxe edition that includes a season pass with additional tracks to be drip-fed over a year following its launch (which combined with the base game's content will still fall short of the number of tracks they have in MKW, nevermind the latter's additional game modes including open-world free roam and battles). Obviously the sticker shock is real for a lot of folks, but I find Nintendo's strategy to be far more honest. And it's not even that every one of their games will carry the same pricetag -- the next major release is a 3D-platforming adventure with destructible terrain starring Donkey Kong, selling for $70, period.

Still, he'll never understand how thematically complete the original game was before Phantom Liberty any more than he would understand why anyone would want to have a continued experience in any post-release setting.RogueSix wrote on Jun 6, 2025, 15:21:
Haha so glad I still didn't buy (let alone play) this unfinished POS yet. So, CD Projekt? What about that "Ultimate Edition"? Which "creative"twistbig fat outright LIES are we going to invent this time to justify that the game, after nearly FIVE YEARS, still is neither feature- nor content-complete? Weeellll? Let's hear it so I can have a really good laugh...![]()
So you're complaining that they are still improving the game... What great game dev these days doesn't have longterm patch support. CDPR makes great games what are you going on about?

The game was meh. no word on if you will ever not be looking at a desert. it gets old. (yes I know it is a desert planet...). you also get a mount in the first 10 hours of gameplay. not that hard to work for. gone are the days of WoW mounts at what was it? level 40 starting?

You might want to understand what objective is when you make statements that aren't objective.
Terrible game due to the awful UI and performance. Unfortunately for me I came to this conclusion after the 2 hour refund period (and likely many others). Many are complaining, mixed reviews on steam. This is my first and I won't be buying another monster hunter game, and maybe not even another capcom game. 10m may have bought into the hype but I doubt as many will fall for it again. "game ran fine for me" It objectively does not. You simply have low standards (I am jealous!).

I'd take a console over some crappy mobile phone game. Keep your crappy mobile games away from us. Just like those ads on premium tier for those crappy mobile games.

Quick, raise your hand if any developer of any game that you own that forces you to Discord for support or patch notes offers voice and video support via Discord.
Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?
Of the 16 "servers" (Christ, what a joke to call them that is) that are on my Discord account, a grand total of zero of them offer voice or video rooms or subchannels. It is allll text. Usually with a whole gaggle of morons spewing text and emojis. Just like IRC.
Moreover, Discord doesn't offer full end to end encryption. Just on voice and video. Text, which is the predominant use? Wide open and unencrypted because "moderation", even in private chats. So it's only marginally secure.
As I said, based upon my usage, I fail to see the appeal. It's IRC on all 16 channels.
You've got the bizarro version of my discord... I've got about 15 servers and they're all used primarily for voice and streaming video.

I'll never understand the appeal of Discord. It's just a shittier version of IRC.
It's worse still when lazy, stupid devs use it as the only means of support.
Midnight wrote on Feb 19, 2025, 22:42:The same thing could be said about human-created "art"...as we've reached a point in civilization where most things that aren't abstract have already been created in some fashion and the result is that we iterate on what has come before. Music is a pertinent aspect of art creation that has hit an almost insurmountable climb to find sound that hasn't already been formulated elsewhere in some way.Sepharo wrote on Feb 19, 2025, 21:37:People say stuff like that because they understand how Gen-AI works - it doesn't create, it only remixes. In technical terms it's a probabilistic copier pulling from an extremely large dataset. If a piece of AI generated "art" looks original to you, it's not because it's new, it's because you're unfamiliar with the original works that were copied, or because it's changed just enough to make it hard to identify. They're glorified plagiarism machines.
Dunno why people say stuff like that all the time.
Generative AI absolutely can do synthesis and create new things that it's never seen.

Yeah, 'cause that would sure explain the 11 years Menendez got in prison, or Joe pardoning his son. Fuck man, it's almost comical the lengths the left will contort themselves into trying to prove they're not as bad as their counterparts on the right of the aisle. It's not the right who outlaw thoughts or words. Most of you guys don't even get that I'm a centrist opposed to both extremes of the political aisle. If you honestly believe the radical left isn't as bad as the radical right I own several bridges in NYC I'd love to sell you cheap.

I dislike how many Americans judge things by left or right politics. How about we judge right or wrong according to the best logic and ethics instead simply siding with a political party by default?
Uh, that ship sailed when they got away with murdering JFK and Nixon got pardoned. The right-wing - anywhere - is always and only about do as I say and not as I do. The left, conversely, is all about Big Brother and thought-crime. We really need to get away from them both. In that context I've always like the old saying, 'Dear Lord, please save me from your followers.'
