I'm not an audiophile, so the question I'm about to ask is probably retarded - but what's the point of putting synthetic music on vinyl? I understand that quality vinyl is better than digitally recorded music due to the almost infinite amount of precision that vinyl affords, exactly like how photography on film will always be better than digital because it goes down to the molecule instead of processing power. But synthetic music is already reliant on inherently flawed computer programming, much less music for a video game from fucking 1994.

How is it impressive that the Switch can match the graphics quality of 7th gen consoles? Handheld graphics quality has consistently matched that of last-gen under-the-TV consoles. GBA matched the SNES, DS matched the N64, on and on. And it isn't just Nintendo either. The PSP surpassed the PS1 while being concurrent with the PS2, and the Vita was between the PS2 and 3. If the Switch didn't compare to a console more than a decade its senior it would be impressive... impressively shit.

Because the jumps in graphics between generations keep getting increasingly small since the 7th gen, especially for games that aren't AAA titles. Hence why I assume @Pissmaster compared the Switch to the X360, even if I would personally rank it slightly lower than a PS4. Doesn't help that we got a lot of remasters and ports of old games while games focusing on graphic fidelity have been taking far too much development time in the past decade, therefore massively reduced the output of game releases.

And the days when a handheld version of a game was drastically different of its home console counterpart are long gone.

I felt the same way about Earthbound until I finally decided to try it. It was worth a playthrough. The hardcore fans are something else, though. It's like Harry Potter levels of "Play a different game".

There's no point, and the "vinyl is superior" myth comes from the early days of CDs which were plagued with poorly done, tinny masterings. In the early 80s, it quite often happened that the vinyl edition of an album would be better than the corresponding CD.

SEGA somehow survived as a third party publisher after firing a lot of the dipshits, like Yu, of that era.

The main reasons I like music on vinyl are due to the analog nature if the recording and because short of seeing a group live or being in the recording studio, a record represents the fewest steps removed to being there in person. Both are superficial reasons, but that's why I like it.

I also like the process and technology. And I love listening to whole albums. Listening to randomized playlists and curating best-of selections is fine; but something is lost when you no longer listen to a whole album. A good album has a rhythm and flow to it that you never experience when you are curating only the best songs from dozens of releases.

Also fuck Mother fans. Shit fanbase.
 
That Mother 2 vinyl doesn't even have the colorful Earthbound box art on it, just the fairly cheesy plain Mother 2 logo

also "Mother" is a really stupid name for a series from the POV of an English speaker and Earthbound's pretty clever and it's always low-key annoying that calling Mother 3 "Earthbound 2" or something never caught on
 
There's nothing wrong with enjoying vinyl. The problem comes from every insufferable hipster faggot that finds a way to bring it up in every conversation just to remind you that they like vinyl over other media.

and then never opens their vinyls to appreciate them because they treat them like investments

Fuck people who buy entertainment and then just keep it in its packaging forevermore, if ever I strike it rich I'm going to buy shitloads of rare old games and vinyls and open them on camera, and I'm gonna finish off by buying that one-of-a-kind Wu Tang record that Martin Shrekamoli bought and livestream us baking a delicious cake together. using that record as a serving tray
 
I spent $50 on a couple bootlegs of Nintendo 64 vinyl osts on big cartel and sold them back to nerds for $200 a pop on ebay lol.
 
I genuinely thought that this crossover will be a one-time thing.


Hopefully they gave the enemies a counter to the overwatch spam, because you can cheese theirs by sending out a drone in the first game.

They showed some gameplay at the ubisoft event (at around 3 minutes into the video embedded) and it seems to be taking a more action-rpg approach with turn based elements. Personally I'm excited, I quite enjoyed the first one, though my low expectations might have played a part in that.

It almost looks easier than the first one in the sense that you aren't actively seeking cover and there's hardly a lot of opposition going on.

But then again, this isn't the final version.

As a person that has not even played the first one, yet loves the Rabbids, I’m looking forward to this and the recent Mario Golf game that’s coming out soon

Note the capitalization of new in the fine print. People are already seizing on this as proof of the Pro even though you have to also assume that it will both be revealed today and be available for purchase today. The capitalized new is most likely a weird choice by whoever created this at GameStop.

I want to appear as a little devil on the shoulder of every single PS5 owner in the country and tell them to trade in their PS5 for a Switch Lite
 
Boy Tekken DLC and Life is Strange for the switch. Every other announcement was pretty ass or looked like ass.

If this is what winning e3 is like, I guess
