When I was a kid, I’d spend hours screwing around in Mario Kart 64 before Forza Horizons was even a thing.

Glad to see that Mario Kart is actually doing a Forza.

It’s going to be so much fun being able to frolic around in Free Roam without having to try to tune out Lakitu telling me to turn the fuck around.

Drip fed over the course of several years.

And the game you specifically wanted to play? It’s one of the last ones to be dropped.

Probably not going to happen, but I think it would be awesome if it’s like the 3DS where they realize the cost is too much, then they lower the price significantly and the early adopters who sacrificed their firstborns for it will have some sort of ambassador program.

Apart from both being TV/Handheld hybrid consoles, I’m not understanding why people think Switch/2 and Steam Deck are in direct competition with each other. They aren’t. They’re in totally separate leagues.

While I’m not defending the price point ($80 is $80, JFC), after watching Nintendo Life’s hands on play of the game… I can see why Nintendo decided to have that as the price.

I’m definitely going for the bundle so I can avoid that price, however.

I don’t criticize people for how they spend their money. Do as you will.

Nice straw man though.

The problem arises when you believe I’m trying to make some sort of argument. I am not.

I was nicely trying to point out your hypocrisy. But since that didn’t work, let me spell it out for you:

Stop being a dick.

I’ve seen plenty of “punching down” towards people who buy a game simply to enjoy it. It’s kind of happening in this thread.

[Insert Billy Madison clip here]

You should read the rest of my post. You would have learned that I have watched it.

I’m betting on $400, quote me on this

Why do people manufacture arguments like this? Who is arguing that one is okay while the other isn’t? A couple random people on the Internet?

The only thing I can think of is The Last Samurai is a 20 year old movie and that somehow means not bringing up this historic fictional movie = you’re okay about a white dude becoming a samurai but not okay about a black dude becoming a samurai.

Whataboutism at its finest.

Did it not occur to this person that perhaps some people just don’t care about the movie, haven’t seen the movie, or plain just didn’t bring it up because it’s a movie? Is it “double standards” for one to pick their battles and not be enraged at everything all the time? My god this shit is exhausting.

Disclaimer: I have no opinion on the game itself because I frankly don’t care about it because I’m not the biggest Ubisoft fan outside of Rayman. Nor does the above necessarily reflect my opinion on the game’s historical accuracy. I’ve always loved The Last Samurai and Memoirs of a Geisha though and find both beautiful and touching films, so make of that as you will.

It was hyped up until Russia invaded Ukraine, then they cancelled the launch date because of that. True story.

Then it was unceremoniously released at a way later date.

Fine by me. I’ve been wanting more Advance Wars. And that’s what we’re getting.

This is the second article I’ve seen from this site recently where the author doesn’t mention what platforms the game is coming for. C’mon, guys. Have a little respect for your readers.

If anyone is curious, I did a few seconds of research so you don’t have to.

• PC (Windows + Linux via Steam)
• Steam Deck support is mentioned
• PS4
• PS5
• Nintendo Switch
• Xbox Series S/X

Why is there even a console war in the first place? Who really cares these days? Just get what you want.

Me? I’m lazy and don’t want to put the effort into building a PC or worrying about optimization, viruses, etc. So I just get a gaming box to plug in and play.

Okay I will.

PC isn’t a part of the console war and therefore can’t “win.”

Happy? I told it.

Not sure why people are acting surprised about this. The generations usually have been between 5-7 years. It will already have been five years this upcoming November. So 2027 sounds about right.

Can I have a turkey sandwich?

PC will never “win” a console war because it lacks the plug and play convenience of consoles.
