Video Games #2

They have been doing leases for a while, it's completely bonkers, when they first started it, one of the deals I think 3 year you were paying more in the end than what the console was worth

At that point you'd be as well buying on credit an at least you'd own it by the end

An if everything moves to digital I'll look to pirating, if am not fully owning it then am not paying for it
I understand the thought behind it, but I can't agree with pirating. Sorry.

I miss renting games when I was a kid. Going to the likes of blockbuster and my local game/film shop to rent. Did anyone else know a video game person who went door to door to rent you games?

There was a woman who would come with a case full of games. I would pick, I think 3 games, from the selection and rent them for a week. I could pay a few quid to extend the rent period on them.

As others have said, the benefit of pre-ordering digitally is that it should be ready to play on launch, right there on your console/PC.
The other benefit is that pre-orders often come with bonus content.
Oh right, yeah I did think maybe when pre-ordering you must get extra content. I'm so out of the loop on gaming. I'm trying to get back upto speed with it all, lol.

GTA 6 is allowing you to pre download the game from the 12th November, to be ready for the 19th. Presumably to avoid tens of millions of people all trying to download it at once.

Have they said anything about GTA online?
I don't play it anymore (unless I can open a private server) because people are shitheads.
 
I will never forgive the makers of RDR2 for breaking my heart at the last fight with Arthur. If I had known what was going to happen I’d’ve swapped my horse before starting it. It literally took me about an hour to stop crying about my horse, and I’m still not over it…
Aw! That just shows how good the game is we get that invested in it! It took me ages to 100% the game and saw so many little details and interactions which were just incredible to think majority of people wouldn't experience

Was hoping they’d announce Hogwarts Legacy 2 at the Playststion show today. Nothing.
Can’t wait for them to not announce Animal Crossing next week.
It’s great 😬
Yeah. I keep waiting for that to be announced.
I wonder if they'll broaden settings for it otherwise it may feel a bit samey just being set in the same location.

I'm quite surprised to see a sequel to killer shark game, Maneater!

Is there a new AC in development? I didn't realise that, I'd love a new one

I have a feeling hogwarts is prob still a good 2 years off at least so be a while I think before we get some news, I'd love it if it was set in the founders time but I have a feeling it will be moving forward since the first one so hopefully closer to Snape an James time

It’s not confirmed but possibly. Normally animal crossings don’t share a console but I think we will see a new one switch 2 only. But I also don’t think we will see it till 2028 at the earliest. Would love to be wrong.

Ah ok then, yeah I think going forward Nintendo will only really be realising on the 2 now, they seemed to be really fast with moving forward compared to other consoles, I might be wrong but wasn't the Pokémon game only for 2? An that realised quite soon after the console come out

Pokopia was only Switch 2 but Tomodachi Life which also came out this year is both.

Nintendo have said they will be ending support for switch 1 in about 6-9 months from now, roughly.
Are you sure? I’ve read they’ll stop selling the Switch 1 next year but online services and support will continue. They only stopped online support for the 3DS in 2024, so it’d be unusual to pull all support that quickly!
 
Nintendo are stopping sales of the Switch and Switch Lite in Feb 2027 when the EU law changes about batteries. They will still support the switch and switch lite.
