![]() ![]() Mine is currently rotting away in a storage box because every time I picked it up I had to fight the damn thing just to try to play anything. I wish that I liked this little toy, but for what is supposed to be and is advertised/sold as a niche hobbyist toy that requires significant monetary investment to produce a quality product due to it's niche appeal I feel like it has heavily missed the mark, and I say this as a gaming enthusiast and general offbeat, involved hobbies enjoyer who appreciates weird projects like this and maintained a pre-order for well over a year (if not 2, I can't remember the exact timeline) in times where I could have used the money on several other things I'd have enjoyed more. I could really go on but I'll stop there. The delays (some of which can be attributed to covid but eventually reached a point of how most companies started using it as an excuse for delays knowing no one would question them), the price of the console itself being extraordinarily high claiming it's due to low volume despite the console preorders eventually requiring a time of purchase tier system to determine when you would get yours delaying receiving it by months if not over a year, the high price low value dichotomy of most current game offerings, the poor viewing angles on the device, uncomfortable size of everything on the handheld, poor UI that focuses too much on quirkiness and presentation than ease of use, bizarrely slow internet speed with downloading games and browsing the catalog taking ages, most of the games being simple in a way that aren't even fun and just remind me of early iphone games. ![]() The extreme fans of playdate can reach vitriolic levels of what can be generously described as toxic positivity and completely overlook the massive issues this console presented. ![]() Lots of cutesy movement and characters/environments with potentially decent gameplay mechanics presented in a twitter or youtube video successfully hide the warts of having to actually play this on a playdate console. Gonna get hate for this, but this is exactly what I pictured a high profile game for the playdate would end up being and I don't mean that positively. ![]() /r/GamePhysics - Clips of game physics shining and glitchingĭesign based on /r/FlatBlue created by /u/creesch./r/gaming4gamers - middle ground between purely-for-fun and more serious subreddits./r/GamingLeaksAndRumours - Leaks and Rumors.Posting unmarked spoilers will result in removal and warning, and posting spoilers with malicious intent will result in a ban.
