You’re right, some people probably thought „most influential” = best and that was the best game they played recently. What this game could influence when it just came out - who knows ;)

I think it lost too much of it’s charm in transition to 3D but what they’ve shown still looks graphically playful. I think the original was lightning in a bottle that won’t be repeated but this could be good in its own way.
I thought so too but I just played Katamari on my phone and was struck by lightning when I imagined it controlling like Drag x Drive. I think that’s enough reason alone for me.
I think this is because you can treat PCIe 3.0 as its whole own things with later versions being iterative. Still a word soup but sometimes you can’t avoid it.
Nintendo went against one emulator that was legal, Ryujinx, and I support critiquing Nintendo for this. In other instances they were going after pirates and people infringing on their currently used trademarks and copyrights.
Oh, I didn’t notice. I refuse to remove it from my RSS reader to this day.
Man, I pirate stuff all the time, I just don’t like people making up things to explain themselves, especially if I know they can afford stuff they pirate.
Yes, if it’s old or you can’t afford it then just get it. Copyright, trademark and patent laws are a joke and it’s a sensible way to revolt over them.
Latest Nintendo dealings with Switch emulation give me mixed feelings. Yuzu was obviously benefitting monetarily (Patreon) from encouraging piracy (showing games before their release). Fuck those guys. Nintendo shouldn’t have gone after Ryujinx though and I’m quite angry about it.
100% agree. Also 99% emulator users pirate games or do you dispute this part too?
Ok, then don’t play them. Why are commenting on this again? This is some autistic „stop liking things I don’t like” shit, grow up.
Nintendo makes unique hardware and games. It’s a consequence of philosophy that drives this company. There are good and bad things about it but explaining things as they are is not their defence. I’m not defending it because at the root of things all of this is consequence of capitalism and getting angry over this would be like getting angry over rain. My way of dealing with this is joining a socialist party and contributing to my surrounding environment, not ragging about Nintendo, who despite their faults are one of a kind.
They don’t go on sale because Nintendo games are not disposable like n-th instalment of Call of Duty or NFL.
They sell gameplay and not graphics and that’s timeless. If it was worthless people wouldn’t be so angry with them for going after emulators. There are also no games over $80 announced and this time digital copies are cheaper while still shareable (although no reselling).
Shenmue makes as much sense as other real top spots (not counting KCD2, Skyrim or BG3 - just dumb to include). It was one of the first games of this kind and others took plenty inspiration from it which fits the original intent of the vote.
They’re not that consumer hostile most of the time, except those quirky Japanese sensibilities, which there is a lot of but it’s not malicious in intent imo. They are absolutely horrible to anyone who pirates their games, but those are not their customers.
I think it was an open vote at first so KCD2 might have been an effect of brigading for a marketing effort. Capitalism is why we can’t have nice things, again.
Also:
Underpinning the technology are NVMe and PCIe 3.0 interfaces, which allow for speeds of up to 2GB/s (using a PCIe 4.0 interface). You can read the deep-dive details of the tech on our sister site, AnandTech.
Switch 2 needs storage transfer speeds that match modern consoles to allow ports from them.

I’m using Ghost e-shop out of necessity these days but it sucks compared to shops we had. I’ll probably buy games on Switch 2 normally. With Switch 1 I couldn’t afford games for some time but I’m much better now. I feel like digital library sharing and lending are a way to make those prices more acceptable.
That is unless a jailbreak comes out and my ADHD goblin makes me mess with my console and I get banned again. Then I’ll be back to my weird philosophy of buying games on a platform with least amount of cut and pirating them everywhere else.
That’s incredibly American thinking. Why would anyone else have to cover for your own import tariffs? Do I pay for higher prices in Brazil? They have very high tariffs on electronics too.
It would be kind of weird to even try to guess something this unpredictable and most claiming to have any idea turned out to be wrong. I mean, how do you plan for tariffs that could be anywhere from 0 to 50%?
Apps make or break those platforms. Lemmy apps are way better than what Mastodon has for example (but I have to tip my hat to Phanpy). We got really lucky that Lemmy exploded in popularity due to Reddit API changes which meant many app developers gave Lemmy a shot. I probably wouldn’t use Lemmy so much if Voyager didn’t fill the hole Apollo left in my heart.
