"Watch Dogs 3 was legion" omg semantics guys, the point is that the themes of Watch Dogs have never been more relevant than ever and it's ripe for a new one

Watch Dogs 2 was a hacker power-fantasy about taking down corrupt tech CEOs that use our data against us

In an age of Al and record breaking large data centres, WHERE THE FUCK IS WATCH DOGS 3 UBISOFT?

That means a bunch of people bought and played the game, which is wicked cool by me

I hope when I get this, it goes up to 1.0%

Playstation trophies screen for SIREN. The platinum trophy says "0.9% of players earned"

When I was a little kid, I wrote a strongbad email full of random nonsense. Since I just clicked "email strongbad" it opened my mom's outlook on windows XP. I was like 9 so I didnt really understand that she could look at her outbox and see it

She was like "YOU CAN'T EMAIL STRANGERS THIS STUFF!!!"

Yeah! So much stuff is just thrown together. I hear so much bad about like Nintendo's GameCube and N64 emulation and stuff from other companies too that I kinda wrote this PS5 port off last year. Really nice to feel some quality in it!

Actually reading a lot of the archive in SIREN this time. There's so many cool story details I didn't even know we're here

This thing really was a worthy successor to Silent Hill! In a perfect world, we'd get not a remake but instead a SIREN 3 that looks and plays just like the first two!

I'm about 70% through now and I gotta say, really happy with this PS5 port!

Only thing the PCSX2 ver has over it is the widescreen hack. But otherwise it's an excellent port that's super clean looking and I had no discernable issues. (Shibito got stuck on corners on PCSX2 sometimes, not here tho!)

Ended up going "screw it" and looking a few items up for SIREN. But man, the rewind feature on PS5 still allows so much experimentation!

It's so nice trying random little things I don't exactly think will work, and whipping back.

Just did the Harumi house escape, just as awesome as I remembered!

So you must understand my frustration then. I have to try SO hard to get people to care about anything new that deserves it! Big companies like Nintendo have all this legacy and money so they just win.

And I see this dripfeed crap and it's like "yup that's how they win"

Just a bummer to me man.

There's plenty reason for it to come out slowly. It just doesn't have anything to do with providing a service people want.

James @nitrorad.bsky.social · 4d

Yeah instead your being reminded of Paper Mario. See the problem now?

The data from stuff like the smash bros updates showed them exactly how to play consumer psychology

Wish more people saw it for what it was, but they just see Nintendo

James @nitrorad.bsky.social · 4d

It's an ad for the brand, is why the dripfeed. You gotta think business for it to make sense

James @nitrorad.bsky.social · 4d

I just don't understand why people care and keep sharing each update all excited

It's like our brains are broken and we need artificial things to look forward to

Nintendo tryna make their own brand of Disney adults dude and it's working hardcore
