It’s unique. Nothing to get too excited about but the story is interesting. I finished the game in 2.1 hours so make of that what you will. Chances are if you like short narrative driven games then you will like it but go in blind for full effect.

I know it’s their legal defense and all, but it’s not like any of us thought they would seed in the first place. Their business is only about taking for profit, not sharing or giving anything back.

How long before the Nintendo lawyers strike it down?

Is there ever enough money for companies? The game will sell well and most definitely turn a profit if they released it as just the base game with online option but they still manage to potentially milk every penny available before the game has even released. I know it’s rockstar and they are held to a different standard than other companies for some reason.

• They make good games, no doubt there. Red dead 2 and gta 5 had an amazing open world.
• They release horrible content for their games online content because it’s a money printer, even though it makes the game way less enjoyable (imo). I usually never play online for this reason, I remember I loaded up gta 5 online and was laser gunned by a guy on a flying bike. I respawned and shot him with a revolver and he spent the remainder of the game hunting me down, which was pretty funny, but wtf kind of content is that?! Fricking Flying bikes with fricking laser beams.
• They rerelease the same game and repeat the process ad infinitum.

I love fluid movement. Doing things in a state machine is usually the way to go in 2d platformers, which is what I mainly make. I like when your character can move around without issue, so double jump, sliding, rolling, attacking etc.

They do track a lot, for no real good reason either. Most of the cctv systems you see are blurry, especially at distance, storage of high quality video takes a lot of space and money I guess. It’s a crime deterrent at best but lately most criminals don’t really give a damn, you see wannabe gangsters riding around on bicycles or scooters with balaclavas on, so the real criminals can blend right in with the wannabes. Police presence only seems to exist when football is being played also. This joke of a country could do with a reset button, probably been that way for a long time.

I think I got the first iPhone 3G. Then I moved to android and my last android phone was google pixel 3. Changed to iPhone 13 and been with that ever since. Similar tech history for sure.

Are you me? This is my tech journey also, including fedora on desktop and laptop, iPhone without any upgrades for last 3 years.
