It's technical design didn't help the saturn's library either. Twin CPU's, a sound controller, a sound processor, two VDP's, A CD-rom controller and the SCU. It gave it some interesting specs and capabilities, but getting it to work together to make a good game required a top tier dev team with the knowledge required. I still have to check out the Saturn's library, but most games in top X lists for the system are mediocre at best. It's a shame. I'd rather seen the XBOX or Gamecube fail, but both those companies were too big. The Microsoft/Sega deal could've been interesting, idea was to sort of merge the consoles. Ultimately it only became a few ports though. Another change I would've rather seen was Atari going with the Panther instead of the Jaguar, looks a lot more doable to me. But I guess the Atari suits saw the debatably 64-bit system vs 32-bit and obviously 64 is bigger and therefore better. Drome racers was a "LEGO" game, the only tie-in were the cars. The PC version is very mediocre. Played the old Lego Racers games in my childhood, so thought I'd check it out, at least the GBA game was a positive surprise. That'd be Mario Kart: Super Circuit. Generally regarded as one of the worse Mario Kart games. It's on part with the SNES, which is fine for a very early GBA game. But obviously 64 and Double Dash were better options, the content wasn't that great either. Just a middling title. I'd say they do, they have no clue how online messaging works, but they manage to send 'em ;) I do agree though, using technically should require some low level of technical skill. Not to gatekeep, but to make sure they learn about the device. Maybe they'll add forced tutorials to mobile phones in the near future if this keeps up.

I believe the PS4 controller can still do the motion control bit. I'd say it's a decent extra way of using the controller, but it does suck more battery. Not that suck battery away is a problem for that controller. It dies from a full charge in 5-7 hours, it's pathetic. My family owned all of them essentially, older brother and me a Gamecube (for Kids!) and my oldest brother bought the XBOX and PS2 for casual play (he mostly played MMOs on PC either way). PS2 or Xbox is a hard pick for me, if only the XBOX had a better library. At some point regulations will be put into place, right? We atleast have the lootbox controvery going around, maybe they'll look at phone games sooner or later. Gameplay mechanics such as "watch an ad to not die/get more ammo" aren't really kid friendly.

Yeah, I guess. They'll still be the minority though, it is that ease of use component most people see in it. You'd probably spend less money when that starts happening, atleast on any newer limited editions. I´ll agree to that, as long as it doesn´t weigh much. Never really thought about it, but yeah. I guess PoV stuff would need to up it´s production though. If anyone can react to a trend though it would be the porn industry. Is it? I never used it, guess I missed out. I'll wait till the next 5 versions of it come out from Apple and Disney. I liked the Idea of netflix, it beats cable/packages/pay per view. Just a shame that other companies noticed the success and decided to pull their shit for their own version. I did see the average Americans getting somewhat miffed. I'm not sure if Google cares about it's succes or failure though. They start services at a ridiculous rate, only to drop them the next year. Hopefully this'll be the same.

Holding various opinions from "both sides" tends to devolve in you being called a fence sitter as well. It's also ignorance, I've had someone say to me that I should buy "ASUS" computers, despite them most likely grabbing off the shelf parts for their pre-builts. They don't know any better and pointing anything like that out would just make them defensive, it always worked for them after all. That's reasonable, but I think they lowered AP penetration of arties at some point. Either way no one really used it anymore. At one point you had the british artilleries (I believe this would be after your time), one of them was a tiny fast one with a ridiculous fire rate with barely any damage. With a decent setup you could keep someone perma-tracked and just bleed them to death. At some point people figured it out and you had focus firing 3-man platoons. Funny when you are doing it, hell when it's done to you. I'm sure that little arty alone caused loads of global nerfs.

Just check any new released and go to twitch and see who's playing it with a decently high number. Most likely paid to play. They need to make money somehow. Probably doesn't pay taxes either, which is only fair. Otherwise more people would have to lose their jobs, obviously.

Just gotta live with the risk at some point, ideally you'd have no internet and no foreign programs coming from different sources which aren't your PC. Obviously that'd make your a power consuming paper weight. Sensible browsing with 5 layers of adblock should help. I feel ya, construction workers always start too early. Maybe they should start with the quiet work first.
