Good. Least we have some people with their head screwed on the right way.

UCForce2719d ago (Edited 2719d ago )

Good ! Listen here, @gangsta_red. We don’t need something too big to be more profitable. We just need enough. Sure, you can say Gaas is the future but it isn’t perfect future to be honest.

Eiyuuou2718d ago

If GAAS is the future, then I want to be no part of it.

UCForce2718d ago

Even if Gaas is the future, it will never be a perfect future. Trust me, I agree with you.

thatguyhayat2718d ago

Aah thats a relief. Finally someone who has brains

Chaos_Order2718d ago (Edited 2718d ago )

Oh no, Jinger and the rest of the apologist brigade won't be happy. This lack of "player choice" will surely bankrupt Capcom!

In all seriousness, I didn't pay any notice to MHW when it was first announced, but as soon as I found out the devs were shunning loot boxes and MTs in what is an extremely loot-based game, I simply HAD to find out more. Now I'll be getting it day one and I've recommended it to a bunch of friends. Never played a MH game before but I'm really excited! :)

Learning curve is huge so I hope you are aware of that going in.

Playdead co-founder slammed with lawsuit as bitter row with co-founder escalates

Playdead co-founder Dino Patti is allegedly being sued by his former studio and business partner.
Patti was threatened with a lawsuit earlier this year after he posted a now-deleted LinkedIn post that shared an "unauthorized" picture of co-founder Arnt Jensen and discussed some of Limbo's development. Patti said Jensen demanded a little over $73,000 in "suitable compensation and reimbursement," adding that he had "repeatedly" had such letters over the last nine years.

I love this controller. Feels so nice in the hand. Plus the battery lasts for days, it's crazy.

peppeaccardo2d ago

$100 ?????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????? ???????????????

1nsomniac2d ago

Yea the pricing for Nintendo peripherals is a bigger joke than the game prices. What the hell were they thinking!

peppeaccardo2d ago

i mean for a piece of slightly redesigned plastic with the same take of the last few years this has written GREED all over it ! Shame on Nintendo.

OMNlPOTENT1d 23h ago

It's $85. The standard Dualsense is $75. The Dualsense Edge (Playstation Pro controller) is $200. The Xbox Elite (Xbox Pro controller) is also $200. How exactly is $85 so drastically insane compared to those prices?

Neonridr1d 22h ago

the battery lasts like 10 times as long as a dualsense though.

Stevonidas1d 17h ago

Not true; more like 20.

You may commence with your butthurt, ponies.

fsfsxii1d 15h ago

It doesn't have analogue tho, sooo....

Tacoboto1d 16h ago

$85 USD
or $75 at CostCo (same standard price as a DualSense)

Even at $85, you're getting 3-4x the battery life of a DualSense, and it is (by a HUGE margin) the cheapest first-party console controller with Back Paddles.

The thing is, over the past decade, third-party controllers have really stepped up. You can often get better quality, more durability, and stronger performance for half the price of first-party options. Meanwhile, controllers from Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft have become increasingly mediocre, expensive, fragile, and not particularly impressive across the board. What makes this especially noticeable with Nintendo is that they’re surprisingly open to third-party hardware. That openness ends up highlighting just how much better the alternatives are.

Vits2d ago

Pretty much most things by half a dozen of chinese manufactures. Like, 8bitdo, Gamesir, Machenike, Gulikit, Flydigi, Manba, EasySMX, etc.

The exception would be really low tier stuff by those companies... those wouldn't be better, they would be about the same quality. But more durable.

Best controller I’ve ever used I even like more than my dual sense edge

UltimateOwnage2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Having used Dual Sense, Pro Controller 1, and 8BitDo Ultimate extensively, I am pretty much in love with Pro Controller 2. The easy reassignment on the grip buttons is such a big plus, but the soft edge joysticks are the best feeling sticks of any controller I’ve ever used. It’s really an awesome controller. The HD Rumble 2 also finally has some thud and the headphone jack is great with a pair of good phones. It’s worth the slight price increase IMO.

Profchaos1d 21h ago

The pro controller 2 for me has the best weight and size it fits the hand perfect like the duelshock 4 did imo

I actually dislike the duelsense controller because of its size but the features are amazing on it.

Still as for the pro 2 no analog triggers is surprisingly something I dont actually miss

PRIMORDUS2d ago

I have the original pro controller and TBH, I don't use it as much. I'm mostly using the Switch in handheld mode with the Hori Split Pad Compact Controller. I also never use the back buttons to program anything so I will not be buying this one here, so that will be $85.00 in my pocket 😂

Very good dev length for a AAA/AA game I'd say. Companies need to set an aim for this range. 1-2 is too little, I believe 3-4 is perfect. Any more is too much. Games don't need to be these gigantic games full of a crazy amount of content. Just make a good game.

Skate-AK3d ago

Lol. Had no idea who that was, but I will admit they do look quite similar.
