Survival mode is where the real fun is. Your first 10 attempts will end in an easy death while you learn the game but it will eventually click and you'll survive for 5/10/50 days and you'll love it.
I'd forgotten about that but I don't mind what happened and blame Nvidia not Hinterland. If they are going to make money off of others then they should at least get permission from Devs to be part of it.
TLD is one of my favourites but the way they have handled the story episodes isn't great. It's all long overdue and they release extra dlc before finishing it off which is kind of bullshit.
Thankfully survival mode is infinitely more fun anyway but I do hope they stop updating the game (from May with the planned graphical updates due) before it loses it uniqueness.
Also it's on sale right now on Steam for ridiculously cheap so I really recommend you buy it. Like I said, even with some small issue the game is a favourite and well worth even full price.
I agree with the overall negativity Nintendo has brought upon themselves but videos like this are, like you say, tiresome and disingenuous from the creator.
This video has been doing the rounds but if I remember correctly they are overly negative and are obviously not the target for Nintendo and have no intention of buying the Switch even before all the controversy.
Apart from Eurogamer I basically get all of my information from random people on Lemmy and Mastodon who link to interesting stuff. I don't frequent any games sites anymore.
Edit: and podcasts but not specifically games related ones.
For such a short lifespan the Dreamcast had an abundance of peripherals too which were underutilized. Some of them were ahead of its time but you have to admire the passion!
Also the expensive SDHCe cards and the game-key cartridges because games are too big to fit on the standard 64GB carts. That will add to the cost even more and the whole thing is confusing/laughable!
I don’t think it has as big an impact on players as it had on developers.
I think that's a good way of explaining it. Shenmue can be a love/hate kind of game and with the Dreamcast's short lifespan too it isunderstandable that mainstream gamers have never played it.
I'm interested in why you think they are toxic to the gamer base?
