To be fair, this post is the first I’ve heard of people upset about it

Wait till you find out about Nvidia and AMD

Exactly. I personally do all my gaming on a desktop and have no desire for “mobile” gaming, but I’m super excited to get a Switch 2 just for introducing my very young kids to Split-screen Mario kart with that joycon wheel

Such a shame. I do think Halo was very much already the spiritual successor to Marathon, and I know all the studios just want to have the big multiplayer game that everyone plays for years and years these days, but man was I excited when I first saw the teaser for this last year. I still name all my computer equipment after Marathon AIs.

Agree 100%. From the trailer, at least, it looks like there’s a separate “Free Roam” mode, and it will otherwise be normal Mario Kart. Also looks like they’ll maybe have races that will span multiple tracks, which I can see being cool.

Also, even disregarding the inflation argument, video gaming is still one of the cheapest per hour hobbies.

I don’t think there was a single party I attended in high school where Rock Band or Guitar Hero wasn’t present. Such a great party game for players and spectators alike. The younger generations are really missing out.

Shadow of the Colossus was barely even a game, it was art. I don’t think I even played it for more than 20 hours total but just a simple masterpiece.
