Is there any even remote faint hope of seeing it on PC or is it a total exclusive

It will probably be added to PSNow within the next two years but otherwise not a chance, there have been basically no Sony first party game that came out on PC I don't think (e.g. Uncharted, Killzone, God of War). I guess PC might finally be getting Crash Bandicoot, though?

thanks vanguard bandits, for having a kanji that's physically impossible to read

I don't see how it can be any other kanji, really.

Interestingly, the normally-thorough WWWJDIC has no entry for that word, other than as the middle of a larger compound for "virtual machine"

Minecraft is absolutely gigantic though, and has insane longevity. I think it's old hat for 'gamers', but basically every parent in the West is sticking an iPad with Minecraft into their kid's hands.

A quick google suggests it has like 75 million monthly unique players.

The bigger issue is they picked it up waaaay too late, both because they missed it out during some of its best years, and because it had versions on every other console including PS3, PS4 and PS Vita.

They were trying to buy a chunk of cdpr iirc but it didnt work out.
They have a strong marketing and codevelopment relationship since witcher2 and i expect that to continue.
Cp2077 will deffo be on the xbox stage even if 2 3rds of all witcher3 sales were on ps4

By extension I think there's effectively no chance of anything put out by CDPR to be Xbox-exclusive in any real capacity. For-sure anything they make would also be on PS4 and DRM-free PC via GOG day-and-date.

Physical games rule, it's cool to look across my room and see my collection as it increases in size

I started amassing a bit of a collection for my dad's place where the internet is hella-poor, but that makes some gaming decisions interesting since I have to go out of my way to get later pressings (like "greatest hits" and GOTY editions) since they're more caught-up patch-wise and that can mean a difference between a patch of only 100 megs and a patch of 19 gigs. I buy way too much stuff for getting everything physically to be feasible without A&E's Hoarders on speed dial, though.

While physical games are still £10 - £20 less expensive than digital I'll carry on buying them

Probably not much longer :smith:

Yeah one of the big things keeping me buying games at release has been that in Canada during E3 week, most major online retailers sell the games for $49.99CAD+tax when $79.99CAD+tax is the norm, not to mention that in years past Amazon screwed up a few times and double-applied the discount on some titles (so a whole lot of people managed to get new games for under $30 after taxes when they're normally over $90), and also given some E3 game announcements they had pre-orders for took like 2-3 years to come out, during which the US-CAD exchange rate got bad (we used to be 1:1 with the US so games were $59.99CAD+tax until early 2013, then it crept up by $5 and $10 increments until late 2015 when $79.99 pretty much became the normal price), a bunch of 2015-2016 could be had for an older, lower price, with a discount applied to that price.

The real problem with physical media is that my PS4 sounds like it's dying whenever I play a game with a disc.

Weird. Normally it just spins up once to confirm it's a legit disc for the game in question and then the rest plays from the hard drive.

Near as I can tell Tropical Freeze is basically identical to the Wii U version (the load times haven't been improved that significantly and the bosses are still irritating damage sponges). Near as I can tell the only real difference is the ability to play as Funky Kong who makes the game slightly easier. In that mode items cost less, you can double jump and hover, have an extra heart, are immune to spikes and can breathe underwater indefinitely like in the classic DKC games.

Otherwise if you've already played the game there isn't a whole lot about the Switch version that makes it particularly worth picking up.

Why haven't they done a definitive edition or w/e of GTA4/DLC anyways

It seems like easy money

Do you mean a proper PS4/XB1 version? I feel like the game has too many rough edges to be worth it. They made it backwards-compatible on Xbox One, though, and at least on the last gen systems it's been available as an all-in-one physical SKU for several years now.

Guess this is why it got taken off Switch so fast. I was looking forward to having it portable but looks like that's never gonna happen.

Good news, it's on PSVita and cross-buy...

with the PS3 version, not the PS4 version, so you can get it portable but are gonna have to buy a second copy of all the tables. :retrogames:

I bought Kirby's Adventure Wii to play with my son when he's a bit older. Saw its rated 10+ for violence so thought I should check the gameplay to see if it's appropriate, got carried away and now I'm like 45% complete

Having a kid is a cool excuse to play Kirby again :)

Pretty sure the E10+ is because you're still attacking enemies with swords and hammers and stuff and making them disappear and be injured.

This might be a good plan. Get a 4K TV with real good HDR, those TVs currently are quite expensive. Don't make the mistake I made and get a cheap HDR TV. This is what I bought because I didnt know better https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072FN2B2N/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's a great 4K TV, but the HDR is only 8bit and quite weak overall. You want something with dolby digital HDR.

I did more or less the same thing because my hand was forced when my old TV straight-up died, and I really couldn't afford to dive into anything fancier. Still I'm happy with the results, and I kind of feel that for non-gaming purposes 1080 is enough p's. Hell even for gaming purposes, hitting some real diminishing returns territory, not to mention how hard to come by 4K material actually is.

Honestly I'm teetering on the opinion that you're probably off just getting a really good 1080p TV. Could well be a function of how big a screen you want to get and how far you sit from it, but there's limited 4K material available especially if your internet isn't really good and it's really not a significant step up from 1080p IMO. Maybe if you spend a few grand and get a big OLED.
