But most of these “consumer hostile” things aren’t really “consumer hostile” though. They’re just “not giving away stuff for free”.
By that reasoning, literally everything that requires the consumer to pay is “consumer hostile”.
What are these “consumer hostile” things specifically?
And you couldn’t buy the game digitally either if that’s the case.
What you can do is continue playing your copy that you already have.
If you want a fully digital copy just buy the digital copy. Those aren’t going anywhere.
These ones are for games that were sold at retail, in a box, but just had a digital code that made it no different to buying the game digitally. They had no reason to exist. Now they do. They give these games some of the benefits of physical copies.
They don’t stop working once servers are shut down btw. 100% false. You only ever need an internet connection the first time you run the game after downloading it. Source: Nintendo directly:
An internet connection is only required when you launch the game for the first time. After this, the game can be started even without an internet connection.
Sorry I legitimately took that as you thinking that stick drift could be “fixed” by calibrating the controller, as in the controller would be back to normal.
Yeah you can do a workaround to at least stop the games from registering the drift as input, but I think if you suggest that then you need to make sure people are aware of the loss in precision and that it will make the stick feel unresponsive.
Taking my downvote away.
Can’t read a single line without signing up.
They are significantly better than the digital code in a physical box games that they are replacing. They let you share those games with friends too.
There are no downsides. People just got outraged because they mistakenly thought that ALL Switch 2 games were on them.
Cyberpunk 2077 is a great example.
You’re kidding, right? Cyberpunk looks better with DLSS4 than it does natively lol.
You can count the number of times DLSS makes a game look worse on a single hand. It very often looks better than native with significantly less aliasing/shimmering and better detail. At worst it basically looks the same as native, which is still a massive win as it means you get more performance.
You can’t just “calibrate” stick drift away. You can increase the deadzone to hide it, but you lose some control precision and it doesn’t stop the stick drift from getting worse.
Yes. Pretty much every single PS or Xbox controller I’ve ever owned has developed stick drift. I’ve had 3 Elite 1/2 controller replacements and each of them had stick drift (among other faults).
Yeah you should switch to PS because their controller has hall effect sticks.
Wait, no they don’t either. Neither does Xbox.
None of the big 3 console manufacturers use hall effect sticks because they need people to buy controllers regularly to keep their business afloat.
Most of it is increased costs being passed on to the consumer with a little/lot extra because they can just blame it on inflation. Inflation was the reason why the price was increased to begin with, but “they” then take advantage of it to maximise profits.
You aren’t an economist, that’s for sure.
Why do you think prices go up?
And BAFTA run the poll. Who are they giving the poll to? It was a public poll so it’s worthless. BAFTA decided to publish it, so they’re worthless.
Aim assist and “snap to target” are different things. Aim assist is in console/controller MP. Snap to target is not.
You don’t improve from “diverse games with different skill levels” lol. You don’t improve by stomping people leagues below you. You improve by playing people around your skill level because your mistakes have repercussions and you can learn what you did wrong (or right). You learn nothing from winning 300-25.
It doesn’t hinder improvement at all lol. How do you think it does? Ranked mode is a separate beast, usually with different modes and rules, and often even with different mechanics.
Not at all the same, not even sure how you got to that conclusion tbh.
The whole point of SBMM is to match you with people around your skill, both higher and lower. When you start consistently beating ones that are higher than you, your skill number increases. Consistently lose and it decreases. Rinse and repeat.
In COD it works exceptionally well. Most games are an arm wrestle, with the occasional blowout - usually when there’s a clan involved.
If you think that SBMM doesn’t give you any challenges, your skill level must be so low that you’re stuck playing 6 year olds.
Or, get this - if you want a switch 2, buy a switch 2 if you can afford it.
