It is legitimately dumbfounding how such an historically "G*mers First" company can be so out of touch with pretty much fucking everything possible.
As a sidenote, wannabe IP lawyers who insert themselves into emulation discussions to whine about piracy are one of the absolute worst kinds of posters
I solemnly swear I have a corresponding physical copy for every single PS1 rom on my hard drive
I also definitely dumped the BIOS from my ancient Playstation myself
All gaming consoles, as opposed to linux/PC gaming, have been about locking you into a shitty proprietary environment
Didn't stop Microsoft from trying. Also apparently they just tried to DOUBLE the price of an Xbox Live subscription but had to immediately walk it back after people didn't take to the news very well. Imagine being a big enough rube to pay to be allowed to play multiplayer- oh wait, that was me during the 360 generation
I'd already been playing Source games online on Steam but I really wanted in on that sweet, sweet Halo 3 multiplayer business
Now I can finally play Halo 3 on Steam
Not too broken up about it tbh
When ports of Japanese third party titles first started appearing on Steam about six or seven years ago, it was my most hype gaming moment of said time frame
Remember when you didn't really see Japanese console style games on Steam at all? It was a dark time :sadness:
The first batch was admittedly quite rough,(FFXIII and Dark Souls come to mind) but as far as I know things have smoothed out as Japanese publishers have embraced the platform
Yeah, Capcom's never slept on the PC market. DMC4 and RE5 had timely PC ports back in the day
Someone here recomended the SN30+ by 8bitdo as a switch compatible gamepad and i'm enjoying it a lot on PC.
Nintendo is really out of touch due to being a japanese company and even though they have a international company they are still run as a japanese company with a japanese primary market, which explains a lot about why nintendo is for example real bad at copyright and seems to not understand how to do online, because their shitty online system works on japan because it is a small country so there is people to play close by so lag is more of a non issue
“Japanese people can’t possibly understand how games work” is quite a take, comrade.
the take is not that, the take is japanese business culture is really conservative, so it is bad dealing with the changes needed for like internet services especially if they do things considering their main market the japanese one, which has no real lag problem due to being a tiny island, which is not the norm on most countries, and is quite a diferent market, like it is the same with roll back netcode in fighting games, a lot of japanese companies refuse to use roll back netcode which would improve the quality of internet matches a lot, or like how long a lot of japanese companies have taken to embrace the pc market and how you can understand that by noticing that pcs are not as popular on japan as in other places of the world, like i did not think it would pass as that but no like japanese people are good at games they are so good they brought it back from the dead after the atari
it is fine, like i think i probably just did not express myself real good in english on the first one, so i can see why people would take it as something more racial it is my bad
Listen, it's not racist, just racial okay? Anyways, we should ban all removeds from online gaming because cheating and lag is in their nature.
If you want a physical console as well maybe consider getting a RaspberryPi and installing RetroPie on it, and voila you have all the mini consoles that have been released by Nintendo et al in one for a lot less.
That is not true anymore though, like the curent one, the 4B, I just checked comes with either 2, 4, or 8 GB of RAM and a quad-core 1.5GHz CPU starting at $35.
IMO that should be well enough for maybe even handling N64 games.Me neither, mine is I think a 3B or something and I now use it as a NAS for movies and stuff, works pretty well too.
Pretty cool how versatile these little things are.
If you're interested in retro gaming enough so that you're going to buy hardware - don't buy a pi for that purpose. Just buy one of these handheld retro consoles, they do the job way better and cost about the same. (Doesn't necessarily have to be the one I linked, there are quite a few different types of these out there. Just do a little research in advance to check their performance)
given that he tried to assassinate the prime minister of Malaysia over outlawing child labor, he's probably CIA backed
*edit: just remembered he literally used MKUltra methods too, Mugatu is CIA confirmed

There was also a period where standardized, application specific hardware allowed devs greater optimization than hardware agnostic approaches, but that's not really the case anymore.
You had me until you claimed the CEO of Nintendo was named Bowser.
