Let's hope they release a Switch 2 patch then.

What if it's the same Nintendo Switch version, but works better, at solid 60 fps?

I am going to download, and give it a try over the weekend. Whether I play it just for 10 mins for few hours, no idea yet. Will let you know how it felt to me.

Haven't paid much attention to them, though Nintendo released a "short" with people saying how hyped they are about the upgrade, but it's obviously a marketing video, and they won't show if anyone said anything bad. Link: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/AClil0kqPV0

I missed the 300th day! Congratulations on the milestone!

Heh, Oblivion sound still as fun as it was back then.

Wow, 12 years!

I do have a PC, don't use it to play much, but can give it a try. Just checked, it's available on Steam, and works pretty well on Linux, so shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks for the link!

Can't wait for Gothic remake! Hope they do the sequels too.

There's RSS of these posts? How can I get that?

Nice. I used to play some version of MotoGP when I was young, haven't played much racing games lately though. Other than Mario Kart that is.

Well, I am halfway there!

How is it if playing solo? I noticed it's available on PS, so can give it a try, but I am more of a solo guy.

How are they worst of the digital world? No one who wants a digital will buy game-key cart, they will just go to e-shop and buy / download the game. This will effect the ones who buy physical though, and I did mention that.

Anyways, I don't mind discussing my point of view, as I said, it's my opinion, you can agree or disagree, and maybe my logic is flawed, but if you just want to ignore that and run away with one sentence, that's also your right, and I can't do anything about it. 🙂

Oh nice, does she play too? Or just watch you play?

I have been meaning to get back into Civilization, the last one I played was IV, IIRC. Should get the VI now.

Good luck for your pre-order.

That's not all I wrote, but yeah, I just shared my opinion and you don't have to agree with any of it. If you don't like it, you don't like it.

I haven't bought physical in a while, but hearing about such stories more and more. It sounds specially annoying when they do that with collectors edition. These are their hard-core fans / customers, at least don't short-change them.

Ah cool, I haven't used optical disks in a long time. Still remember needing CD-writer, with discs needing to be special re-writeable ones.

Some publishers do provide full working game on disc. Most Nintendo first party games are like that, and in Switch 2 games most notable is Cyberpunk 2077 for releasing everything on the cart.

That does sound really cool. I am not sure it would be possible with optical disks, but should be technically possible with the cartridges etc. And yeah, don't expect it to actually happen.

Only if you live in US 😛

Everything has pros and cons. Currently there are physical collector editions, that don't actually have a game on disc, just a download code. Similarly, some collections are sold with one game on disk, rest a downloadable code. These codes are one-use only and can't be sold again.

Game key carts solve that problem. Instead of just putting a one-time code, they can use game-key cart, which people can use multiple times.

As for games installing on internal memory instead of the cart, yes, it works like all other downloads. The game that have partial data on disc, or any update that's downloaded. Or every single PS / Xbox game because they can't run directly from optical drive, so you have to copy the full data, download the updates, and still can't play without the disc.

You shouldn't think of a "digital" game. Those who want digital will just download digital. You should think of it as a physical game that has very little data on cart and rest is all a download (like Doom: Dark Ages shared below, just 85MB on disk, rest is a download)

The biggest con IMO is that some companies who were willing to release a cart with full or partial data may decide to go for the game-key cart since it's a official thing now, and average people buying it may not see any difference. So, I hope the collectors vote with wallet and ask the publishers to release full game on disk instead of using game-key carts.
