If we're counting 100%ing, then yeah, Godhome can suck it. Path of pain alone was pushing me to the edge.
The same devs went on to make Vintage Story and finding copper there can also be a real pain. It's kind of wild to hear their Minecraft mod having the same issue.
I actually had a similar experience with Hollow Knight where I had to stop playing for a while and when I picked it back up I forgot where I was and where I'm going, so I had to start all over. It was really worth it imo, because the end sections of the game are insanely cool. But I can understand not wanting to repeat ~10-20 hours again.
Not surprising considering there's little to no competition in that price range. Pretty much every not-bad PC headset is $1000+, and heavy hitters like Valve Index haven't had a hardware refresh in years.
As for price and features I think it will be comparable in price to the PS5 and Series X so around the £450 point.
I doubt it actually. One of the key selling points of the Switch is the console being cheaper than competition, the Switch going for $300 and Switch Lite going for $200. I think it'll stay the same price or at most be $350 with a general hardware upgrade.
Also betting on a new 3D mario game being the launch title. I would be surprised if there also isn't DLC or an enhanced edition of Tears of the Kingdom also there.
From Xbox's side we'll hear more about their new 1st party titles from all those studios they acquired but I don't expect many of them to release this year. Their one popular title will probably be Avowed, which I'm expecting to be basically Skyrim 1.5, janky combat included.
Other random predictions:
Final Fantasy 16 comes to PC (as an Epic exclusive as usual)
Hollow Knight Silksong releases late 2024
Elden Ring DLC releases within a few months and is a banger
Windows game emulation on Android phones and ARM laptops will actually get really good
Valheim will still only release 1-2 major updates within the year
Many studios will attempt gimmicky AI-enhanced video games then give up when people quickly get over it
Netflix will combine or collaborate with Xbox Game Pass in some way
Lots of larger sized indie games will release on the Godot Engine instead of Unity.
I'm really going to miss his videos, but I'm glad he's ending it on a happy note rather than dragging things on when he doesn't want to. Godspeed, Tom.
The PlayStation 3 baby commercial was also something else. Playstation has had some real weird marketing moments.
