They basically did everything right with the Game Boy. And yeah, Sonic's non-Japan Saturn launch was pretty bad. It's not even that bad but it didn't fit in the time and they messed it up in the other ways. Though, Sony's cheap Playstation was obviously genius as well. And after that, the Dreamcast got an end it absolutely didn't deserve. They didn't even manage to utilize all of their hardware/didn't get aquainted with the hardware properly. Image what cool games we could have got in the mid or late cycle of the console. Also, no full Shenmue saga (what's made now isn't proper Shenmue). Yeah, thanks to the GBA display they had it to make it that bright...which in turn screws up emulators later down the line. V-Rally is a name I recognize, Drome Racers...not. Well, shovelware became even more a thing on the DS then. Screw touch controls though, awful handheld. You had that Mario Kart game on the GBA too. I did play it somewhere for a few minutes. Hm? But people don't successfully use things they don't know anything about. They already fail doing the simplest of things. The issue with technology is that you don't see any underlying stuff anymore, as such, people will only acquire extremely superficial knowledge (how to start the PC, open programs etc). Troubleshooting? Already an issue.

That it certainly did. It had no lasting effect gaming-wise though. Funnily enough, it also made the other two companies do some stuff with motion controls (Sony's Six-Axes and Microsoft's Kinect). Both failures, the latter less or more, depending on how you look at it. Yep, PS2 being used as a DVD player helped a lot. Add to that the first Playstation's legacy and you got yourself a dominating console. The Gamecube came off a weak N64 and the XBOX was new to the market. Didn't know anyone that owned one here, except for many years later, some girl in class had it. Apart from that, it was all PS2 with one guy having a Gamecube. Not to forget those ads often steal art from other games, movies or something else. Well, that's what I said. The difference is that even niche genres have lots of competition these days. Slay the Spire (doesn't have microtransactions are far as I know) is considered a rogue-lite, just with cards. Possibly. Hard to tell since I'm not that much into OSTs. Some are just immediately recognized as really good. No idea if you would need to hear them several times for them to become an integral part of your memory. Then again, I remember Doom's first level music and Red Alert's music from when I was a kid and my brother was playing it. No idea how often I heard that then though (I generally only watched once or twice). But, I do have replayed those games/listened to the OST many, many years later.

Yeah, I see it online a lot as well. But there are also other voices. You just won't find them in the typical places. As someone that buys 20-year-old games for the retail price even, I would be fine with that at least, haha. Reminds me of that seller on Amazon that sold a game for 500 Yen (jewel case) but 2000 Yen shipping. Eventually he went down to 1 Yen and 1200 Yen shipping, lol. Never paid that much for shipping from the UK and I have imported thing before. Nah, shipping from Japan is way cheaper in comparison, like 3-4 times cheaper. No, I mean watching VR porn, not playing VR porn games. Netflix is dead anyway. So in that regard, it would likely fail. The main issue is with people not caring. At least awful internet and bad latency is playing a role.

Well, that's American thinking: "You are either with us or against us". Also, you have to have an opinion on everything. Well, all that is not for me. And yeah, brand worshipping is just dumb. Just buy things for its own merit, that's should be fine and also how it should actually be. Reward good products at a resonable price, punsish badly developed or overpriced goods. I generally went for the standard, non-HE shells. I don't want only a bit damage but do a lot instantly. Also, I, of course, go for tanks I can hit from the side...or ideally, from the back.

That CohhCarnage persona plays RPGs but he also often gets paid for them, so... Activision-Blizzard is clearly poor, that's also why they had to fire so many people. Their record-profits are making them even poorer still. What a poor company.

Haha. Ideally you never connect to the internet in the first place then. Best way to keep an old PC (old OS) safe. Also, darn, less than four hours of sleep last night. Getting tired now -.- Also, been looking at pictures from VNs these past few days and meh, I really need to learn Japanese. So much cool stuff that I can't play.
