Well, I can see this work for some games, but with others that require some very precise input and reactions, it will never work.

For those who don't want to spend the money on a proper PC, this would certainly be a solution.

On the other hand, some countries are already struggling to give their citizens proper internet - something like this will make it even harder (heavy bandwidth requirements no doubt).

Quoting: GuestMildly interested, but the graphics are so bad it even outdoes minecraft.
I see no bad graphcis here. Just a stylized art style, on purpose.
Just like Minecraft - with the difference that in Minecraft the art style also serves a very specific gameplay purpose.

If you want every game to look like RDR2, you're in for a lot of disappointments.

I don't know... I feel that when an online game has reached this point, there really isn't much that can be done any more.
It is normal for games to rise and then sink again - and some become classics.

But for online games, I don't think they can become classics that some people will come back to play in 10 years once they are out of players.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPAnyways I only play minecraft on mobile. I'm simply afraid of sitting down in front of the computer because I would never get up lol...

It drains the battery then I have to put it down.
Finally, someone has found a real reason to play something on mobile :D:D:D

Quoting: GuestI read "Season Pass" and lost interest in the game.
Yeah, it makes me shudder, too. Every time. "Give us more money despite having no idea what you will receive, or even if."
Anyway, I usually "use" it as a cheap way to buy all DLCs at a later point (if I want them).

The style really isn't my cup of tea, but I still applaud every developer doing something more interesting than blunt realism or WoW-mobile-comic-clone art-wise.

Well, all of that together makes a nice reason to play the game again. After I stopped not even a few hours in due to the slow & unskippable combat animations (which afaik can now be sped up).

And I won't even have to switch to Windows for it.
