Online services for 3DS and Wii U

Guess it’s a matter of time before someone creates a mod for the systems to enable online play again

4K is possible now with DLSS 3.5 and FRS3 tech. Although upscaled it would give a good quality image or at least a big FPS bump.

Oh Doc this is heavy!

Ubisoft is allowed to stream CoD? But Ubi doesn’t have a streaming service? Or is CoD allowed to be on Ubi+ which enables Ubi+ subscribers to play the games through GFN / Luna?

Ubisoft was a great Stadia supporter. I’m kinda hoping they will get hold of the Stadia tech somehow and start their own streaming service.

It’s the streaming part for me.

Few years ago there was Netflix and Film1 in our country and an ISP with TV that also had a movie service.

That was about it.

Now there’s Prime Video, Disney+, HBO Max, SkyShowtime, Apple TV+ and ViaPlay added to it.

It’s impossible to have have just 1 and view what you want. Ofcourse you can keep on switching but some of them but it’s all just making it more complicated.

Solution? Pirate it. One source and everything available even stuff that isn’t on any on those services.

Also some movies can’t be bought digital.

IMO all movies and series should be available on any platform and let the streaming service decide if they want to have it in their portfolio. Only the “originals” should be locked to a platform to keep stuff unique.

And make every damn movie and series available for purchase.

Not really… paid items aren’t stronger than free items.

For example to get a new Warframe (your armor/character with unique abilities)

Free:

• Find/grind Blueprints for head, chest and legs
• Find components to build the parts (building takes time like 12h real time, you don’t need to stay online/play the game)
• build Warframe (takes 24h real time)

Paid:

• Buy blueprints
• Find components to build parts
• Buy away the wait time
• Build Warframe
• Buy away the wait time

End result:

Exactly the same Warframe. You only need to grind less and wait less.

Every item/weapon/Warframe needs to be mastered. Either paid or free you’ll need to play missions to level up your gear so you can attach mods to make it stronger. Mods are found in game or can be bought. Mods also need to be levelled up by gameplay to be better.

So in the end you only get the base stuff faster but everyone is required to play to get better.

Als some paid items are simply for more inventory space like extra weapon/Warframe slots. That way you can keep some more stuff instead of dumping/selling it to make room for new stuff.

To level up in Warframe it’s necessary to keep using stuff you haven’t used before. When you stay on your own gear you’ll never really progress. But leveling up with new gear enables you to power up older gear as well.

And since it’s mostly PvE you don’t lose or miss out on paying players. If you solo stuff or are playing with friends then you’re pretty much never in contact with a paid player.

If you play with random players then it is possible to have a higher skilled (either free or paid) player in your team that might make specific missions easier to do. But still that’s totally up to you.

From all the F2P out there I personally believe Warframe to be the best game that handles their premium paid stuff without hurting free players.

The game seems complex, in the beginning it feel overwhelming. But don’t be afraid to ask for help and search the Warframe wiki. The community is very friendly and the Wiki will guide you as well.

Not sure if you’re into this. But Warframe.

It’s free, optional IAP to get stuff faster but not in a P2W way. Everything is possible to get free if you sink in time and/or be social and trade/sell stuff for premium currency so you still can buy stuff you want.

Game is loaded with content. Steep learning curve but when the game ‘clicks’ you’re sucked in. There is a story that will make you go “wtf?” and that part is widely known as the “you completed the 30 hour tutorial. Now the game begins”.

It’s playable solo, recently added cross play which makes playing with others more easy and there are parts that are public where you can interact with everyone there. That makes it feel as an MMO.

Read 10.C. Valve can do it any time.

Most likely other storefronts have similar clauses

Ranked can simply be for fun for lots of people.

I enjoy playing against people with about the same skill level.

On casual/for fun I either get owned or I’m owning.
