Good luck buying a Switch 2 in the first year with all the scalpers out there these days.

The OLED looks fucking sexy and the battery lasts longer than OG Switch.

Entirely up to you. I prefer playing handheld on the OLED over my 1080p LCD tv.

Tetris.

Been playing it since 1998 when I got Tetris DX for my Gameboy Color.

2023 probably one of the best years for single player games like ever.

I can’t even afford the money or time to get to just this year’s releases.

I’d do it for $5 million. Could move out to a nice acreage, grow my own food and live off just the annual interest in a basic savings account with that kind of money alone.

Yakuza Like A Dragon, IMO.

Less than 1% of players do.

It’s a niche thing.

The only gacha type games I like are like Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

As soon as you tie it to real money, even if you can get stuff in game, I’m out. Will not even bother to look into the game further.

I generally steer clear of alllllllllllll F2P games.

Skyrim.

Once I get the first shout and visit the dudes on the mountain I Fuck off and go do my own thing.

Have never beat the main story.

If you already have a PS5 there’s a 95% chance you have one of those things.

And if you don’t then I don’t think this would be in your budget in the first place.

This product is the definition of e-waste lol.

The fact that it’s even selling at all is baffling. It’s a cheap LCD screen with a controller attached.

My laptop, phone, tablet, and desktop computer monitors all have way better quality, especially the tablet and phone with OLED. And they can all stream games just fine…

Dwarf Fortress. If you dare to learn it.

Get the Steam version for easy introduction.

Most companies that have their own in house farms need to do maintenance on them.

They haven’t sold their soul to Amazon/Microsoft/Google just yet for 24/7 uptime in the cloud.

I don’t even notice graphics passed the first hour or two.

Can go from an N64 game to a Series X game to a Switch game back to a PS2 or SNES game and enjoy myself in each one.

I still have games I bought in like March I need to circle back around to. So those lol.

Won’t be buying another game till Persona 3 Reload in Feb.

Game turns 10 early next year! (Original Wii U release). And it’s never an issue trying to find an online match on Switch. Just casual drop in drop out races works well.

That fucker has legs. And people wonder why Nintendo never drops prices lol.

Depends what they like about it.

Management and supply stuff? Factorio.

Relationships and the good life? Stardew Valley, or Animal Crossing.

Crash landed on an alien planet and want to start a prison colony where you harvest people’s livers then turn their corpses into dried jerky? Rim World.

Yup.

There are so many games out now where I am bored not even 2 hours in.

They treat every single game like it’s baby’s first video game and hand hold you and tell you what to do and if you take too long solving a puzzle they throw hints at you.

Just dump me in the world and allow me to figure shit out on my own. Create a separate tutorial for the slow ones.

At least there’s still games like Persona and Elden Ring. Where you’ll get half of the things wrong on your first run, then you can improve and become more efficient on your next runs.

Their games have always worked fine for me for their intended purpose. /shrug

No exceptional lag or anything on consoles. Just go do a few co-op, or invasion runs, then move on to the next area.

Depends how the intro goes.

I can’t stand forced tutorials that limit you. Then your first 1-3 hours are like playing baby’s first video game. It’s extremely difficult getting over the boredom.

And then some other games just completely stop evolving after the tutorial. They stagnate. The entire gameplay loop is shown to you in the first hour and there is never any variety or change after that.

Both types make it hard for me to get in to.

Just throw me in blind and let me figure shit out on my own.
