If Orion is everything they said it was

Holy cow

Still worried about data caps, because many ISPs are douchebags about that.

Could people stop trying to force streaming down our throats?

"Bu.but it'll stop piracy!" they'll say. Please.


Wake me up when the FCC makes data caps illegal

 

[Armadillo]

Yay, Doom release date, but November is so far away

 

[Godofcheese]

Well.... that was a big dumpster fire.

Who said anything about piracy? I thought it was just to capitalize on a niche, but oddly growing market?

 

[Chary]

That was...bad. Actually, not bad, but bland. Which is so much worse than bad.

 

[DeslotlCL]

Worst e3 conference so far. And oh god, doom eternal is gonna be a shit show on switch, cant wait to see if it can keep up the frame rate.

They could use it as rationale, it's bad enough you can't keep games you pay for, but now you have to be always online. Data caps will make it a nightmare, and no, I refuse to pay 50 more dollars a month to remove it.

 

[EmulateLife]

@DANTENDO everyone's shitting all over this press conference. You're up. Tell everyone how they should find a new hobby.

Why is internet so expensive in the US? We pay like 50-60 bucks here a month for decent speeds with no data caps, so i have always wondered why the US have that problem

You already know the answer to that question. Corporate greed.

Because our ISPs are greedy asshats, and I don't have much choice where I live because it's either really fast or really slow, no in between, I hate it. Wait, why do you have a USA flag on your icon if you don't live here?

Worst e3 conference so far. And oh god, doom eternal is gonna be a shit show on switch, cant wait to see if it can keep up the frame rate.

In fairness, you can just get another version, no?


Do you have a Switch? Sounds like it's probably not a good fit for you?

 

[DeslotlCL]

You already know the answer to that question. Corporate greed.

No i didnt. I mean, isnt the us a first world country? You guys have like a lot of problems there for a first world country...

 

[guily6669]

What a pile of crap, where is Elder Scrolls 6???

.......Wait, why do you have a USA flag on your icon if you don't live here?

I also have a USA flag which is default if I remember well and don't live in US or any near it too, neither I care to change for my country...

 

[EmulateLife]

No i didnt. I mean, isnt the us a first world country? You guys have like a lot of problems there for a first world country...

Well since you don't know, this country is filled with greedy corporations.

 

[Hells Malice]

The Fallout 76 update is fucking awful. I expected nothing from them and they still managed to disappoint. No one who wanted NPCs still plays. They quit on day one because they didn't fucking understand the game.

Fallout 76 is a MULTIPLAYER game. It's about exploration. It's about discovery. NPCs and dialogue trees don't fucking work. Before you'd find holotapes, and maybe 30 seconds - 1 minute of text in a terminal expressing what happened somewhere and it was awesome. Now you'll have 5 people, 2 stuck in dialogue trees for 20 minutes, and 3 people bored out of their minds clearing the entire area of enemies and loot. Great game design bro. Way to fuck up a great thing. Despite the youtube infamy, Fallout 76 has/had a huge community of players. Literally from day 1 to present, tens if not hundreds of thousands still play. Why the HELL cater to people who judged the game based on youtubers? Dear god. What a bunch of inbred morons. The only saving grace is if they wisely allow these NPCs to be slaughtered. Let me kill them, don't give them bullshit story immunity. Problem solved, kind of. Still makes multiplayer hell, but whatever.

Ah, i used to have my country's flag but decided to use another one just to not show that much info about me.

And yeah i guess. I'm not shitting on the switch version since i do own one and can see why people prefer portability. I'm just really interested on whatever or not it will keep a decent enough frame rate, you know, i'm a nerd for those tech analysis videos like the ones from digital foundry

woah, and i thought the corporations here where greedy...

Not all ISPs are, apparently. A buddy of mine just moved to Nebraska and is paying $60/mo for gigabit internet and no caps..

$60 for gigabit? Oh god! The best we can get here for arround that price are like 200 mega, including tv cable and such. For $40 we can get 400 mega but without any other add-on.

Panic Button does magic, and even updates the games after a time, so the ports aren't terrible, unlike if Ubisoft ported them. I mean, there's only so much one can do to make hybrid consoles affordable, a balance is needed. PS4 portable power is near impossible without being really pricey and having a bad battery life, maybe there'll be a new revision, it's hard to say *shrug* I mean, I just wished people gave it the benefit of the doubt

Unfortunately, Comcast is the only ISP where I live that isn't slow, and they're charging an asinine amount for 250 mbit/sec, with a 1 TB cap. Sure, I can get unlimited, why the hell should I pay $50 more on top of what's already being paid. It's a ripoff.

Comcast can suck it.
