Console war, console war never changes

i'm not up to date on general console discourse. but i know for a fact Nintendo, though never famous for being cheap, has been going mental lately. $80 for Mario Kart is mind boggling
I get the sticker shock, but when in think about $ per fun-time, it's easy for me to rationalize... If you're looking for a coping mechanism that is.

consoles after Halo 3
That’s very new then
Halo 3 released a year + a couple days after I was born. I voted for president last year.

By that logic, I should be paying a couple hundred dollars for my copy of Minecraft. I played that shit for 11 years.

Halo 3 came out nearly 2 decades ago...

no wonder Todd Howard keeps selling skyrim to people, i alone have a 1000h+ in that game!

I loved my Switch. I'm not even considering buying a Switch 2. I'll just stick to pc gaming.
Ive set up my switch to stream pc games via steam link

I still often play it on my modern console (Xbox 360) :3

I assumed the meme is related to high prices decades ago: for example, I remember saving up allowances to buy Star Fox 64, which cost about 70 bucks in the late nineties.

Super expensive, low quality cameras and mics, a janky looking chat, an okay screen, and having to buy games, some of which are years old (Looking at you BOTW), for more than their original buying prices. It's just greed. It's always greed. They saw PS and Xbox selling at already crazy prices and just tried to put the switch 2 in there like it's worth a car payment, or even up to a month's rent if you want the system, a few games, and a working camera (since the cheaper one is only 480p). And they're just coming out and saying they'll be monitoring your screen and chats (which I think more companies do than we think). And they'll brick your machine if they see any mods or emulations. Want to add a fun mod to Mario party? Get bricked, bitch.
If S2 looks appealing, I would highly recommend looking into the steam deck. I don't even have the steam deck and this whole promotion cycle has me eyeing it hard which how awful they're making the S2 launch.

My friend was ok with $90 price tag because he doesn't buy many games, as for me hard pass to switch 2 and its games.
He still wont be buying games. He'll buying a cart with a key that will allow him to access leased games, for so long as nintendo decides to run the service.

I've no idea what the discourse is like today but from what I recall:
- Nintendo: if you really like the Marios, Zeldas, sidescrollers and platformers.
- Sony: if you like highly cinematic games, action adventure games with good graphics and JRPGs.
- Microsoft (consoles after Halo 3): if you need the yearly releases of WWE and sports games and you want to support American businesses. Also, at some point, there was Lost Odyssey.
Have things changed?
I feel so old that genesis isnt on that list.

I am so glad I abandoned video games in 2015. I feel for the rest of you, though.

Nintendo didn't start $90 games.
They just announced it first.Yeah, and fuck the studios for it. It's not like the money is going to the people who are actually working on the games. It goes to the CEOs. So fuck them. There are enough games in the world I haven't played to last me a lifetime. I will not be buying anything new. But I will be sailing the high seas.

Do you play retro games or literally nothing?

There are plenty of games that aren't $90 and are actually worth the values they charge. Not everything is priced like a AAA dev pushing their yearly slop of their main franchise.

I love my steam deck. It's the reason why I finally ditched Windows for Linux on my gaming PC.
This past week I got into emulation on it and have been shocked at how well it has been performing.
My battery is no longer holding up the same as it did when I first purchased mine, but I'm only replacing my Steam Deck for another gaming device when the Steam Deck 2 launches.

If you haven't yet, check out the latest steamos update - they finally added battery charge limits it won't help a dying battery get better, but it may stave off the demise.
