The gaming industry has drifted away from offering full-fledged games to putting unfinished titles that are jam-packed with microtransactions on the market.
It's not the fault of the gaming industry. Gamers were told what was happening, were warned about where this would lead, did nothing, and now are acting like it's the fault of publishers that they kept buying these games and investing in MTX. If only those gamers at that time felt as strongly about these things as they do Helldivers 2.
This is what amazed me the most when playing hours upon hours of stellar Blade version 1.00.00 no bugs, no crashes, no sudden drops in frames, no screen tear, no falling from the world, just a complete package on a game under 50GB.
I think Korea will play a major role in gaming in the long run , because they're releasing banger after banger.
Still pretty common to find if you stay away from the AAA publishers, in the last 10yrs ive probably only bought like 3 games combined from EA/ACTIVISION/UBISOFT. Even now i still buy games that work right out the box perfectly fine. Just recently got like 6hrs into Alone in the Dark, and not a single sign of any of that bs, really enjoying my time with it.
And we as gamers have to accept our role in that. Constantly never being satisfied. Constantly demanding more while paying less. Constantly demanding better frame rates, better graphics, more modes and faster faster faster…. Then review bombing the product when a demand isn’t met. Meanwhile those same demands are making games more difficult, complex and more expensive to create than ever before, on shrinking timelines that burn out employees and make their lives miserable.
You wanna know why so many games get delayed? Cuz the original release dates weren’t realistic to begin with, but you can’t tell a gamer their game is further away than they want to hear. Some dev or game designer will be threatened physically. That builds even more pressure and rushing. We are officially squeezing water out of rocks and still complaining about that how hard you have to squeeze the rock be just waiting for rain. Most of the time we take it out on the developing studio, when it’s the publisher making the calls.
All you need to do is read the comments on most websites and social media to see how toxic, entitled and petty the gaming community at large is, and realize how that transforms into impossible expectations on the parts of game makers.
This is one battle that gamers have never won, hahaha. They were parading recently for their "win" against Sony. Where's the energy for this one, guys? LMAO!

I invite all the morons at Nintendo to make a field trip into the Wii's homebrew scene. Newsflash: We already have programs to use USB mass storage. As you can see, it IS possible.
They are as stupid as Sony was with the PSP.
The PSP CFW had different video formats way before the OFW had, now it's the same old song but with storage solutions.
Another example of hobby developers being one step ahead of the ones on the payroll.
@Alexander Roy (other zone)
While your correct regarding the Wii, the PSP is a different matter, to support a new video codec you (Sony) must license that codec (AKA pay for it) thats why Sony haven't updated it and CFW allow you to do it, illegally.
It not a case of Sony or Nintendo not being able to produce the same results as CFW's more a case of whether it's viable for them. Nintendo probably aim to make their own HDD like MS, that way they can charge the poor individuals an arm and a leg for a £20 HDD.
Problem fixed ;)
True enough. People tend to only see the negatives about CFW and hacks, i.e. pirated games and the possibility of bricking. If they would educate themselves, they would see how much things the coders and homebrew developers already did.
Anyway, enjoy the open zone, there sure are some funny things here. In fact, most times I read the open zone first, just for ***** and giggles. Besides, if you feel like it, feed the trolls/crazy fans and see the effect snowballing to the point that they call each other's mom names. It should be renamed "Fun Zone", imo.
EDIT: Damn, was supposed to be a direct answer. Sorry for that.
I know this is a stupid question but is it possible to unlock the ability for the SD cards to be used as memory. Im aware you can download games/ect onto the SD cards, but is there a way to make it possible for the Wii to be able to read off the cards?
Could this be implemented with a simple firmware update?
Thanks in advance.
