@Slayer25c But you don't have to just take it. Xbox tried to raise Gamepass prices and failed. They're not quite back down to original price but the market has spoken. If you just keep shrugging your shoulders they'll keep turning up the heat until you don't even notice you're boiling.
You can't even go to jail in grand theft auto! Hopefully something they can do for GTA6, I like the idea of actually being punished for your crimes. (Totally optional by just paying your fine or escaping too)
Gonna continue to wait and see if days of play will offer a discount. Though with the way PlayStation is lately I'm not sure if one will happen at this point.
There is something to be said about having as much people playing your multiplayer offerings as possible. Though putting stuff like Horizon Zero dawn and GoW on there? Yeah that doesn't really make sense to me.
@Frmknst I play third party stuff. Sony's first party hasn't been for me for a long time. Sorry if that offends you but judging from sales numbers my opinion is not incorrect concerning Saros.
Game looks fine but I'm quickly realizing that I'm just not very interested in Sony's offerings lately. Everything has to be a big cinematic blockbuster style release. I don't really care about that much.
@Dissident Not everyone who deals in absolutes is a sith but all sith deal in absolutes. Some people think if you don't agree with them then you must be their mortal enemy.
@AgentMantis The lack of content complaining tends to come from people who play non-stop the first 2 days and finishing everything. There will never be enough content in a game to satisfy people like that.
The general masses don't seem to care, if game is good they spend. Japan will have its niche but they really can't compete anymore. Kind of a shame since growing up almost nobody could rival them.
I assume a lot of concessions were made to make it accessible for mobile players (massive chunk of the Chinese market). That's why you'll never really get in depth combat as if you were playing something like Bayonetta or Devil May Cry and frankly...I prefer it. I don't want to memorize painfully long strings of combos to feel like I'm doing meaningful damage. What we have here is serviceable enough. Raising the Tycoon level is arguably more fun anyway, hopefully they toss us a bunch more "jobs" to do to keep us busy in the future.
The combat at endgame ZZZ unfortunately became pretty obnoxious and there wasn't really much to explore of the towns. NTE really did manage to do the anime GTA open world thing. They really should have failed but somehow, everything works. To think the Tower of Fantasy devs did it. Kudos.
I say all this before NTE inevitably adds a Chinese themed area and everything slows down to a crawl. They always do.
It's though, if you don't pick up the games when they are doing what you want them to then that just sends a message that you like to complain and wouldn't support either way...but games nowadays are pretty expensive. So it's gotta be a really good release, with no bugs, for me to grab it right away.
Better hope their government doesn't take too much of an interest. Greedy people who know nothing about games getting involved is what starts the downward spiral.
I had my doubts but the overview trailer has me feeling optimistic that somewhere deep inside Ubisoft's rotting heart... they've still got a little spark.
@Hi569 I don't know where in the internet you hang out but Pushsquare is far from the only place that doesn't like games like this...and they're a lot meaner about it.
I find that exploring a new area can maybe take 2 to 3 hours but perfecting a new factory line in an outpost is where the real weight is, so it's always good to hear when we get an entirely new outpost to build up. I have no funds to Gacha for the new character but the combat isn't really the main draw and thankfully characters don't alter the factory stuff so there's no real reason to pull for anyone.
I hope Xbox fans who cheered for Microsoft's acquisition of Activision are angrily punching their pillows and crying at the news. I KNEW that nothing good would come from the purchasing an entire corpo like that. Nothing good for the consumer anyway. I really hope they are sued for this because Microsoft has done pretty much everything they said they wouldn't do upon buying Activision.
@HerlockSholmes Gacha games are typically free to play while live services charge a premium on top of doing most everything a Gacha game does. People would probably have less of a problem with them if they were all free but as you can see here, there are people who don't give Gacha a pass either.
Marathon has already lost more than half of it's playerbase. Sony probably isn't too pleased about that. Hope they don't shutter the game before they even have a chance to be nominated.
@Drnsnsr Do you like the cut? It looks dumb. If it was a male main character with that cut it'd look equally stupid. People don't like to play as dumb looking characters unless there is a character editor and we can make ourselves look like complete freaks.
With how quickly AI is progressing, it really is only a matter of time. 2 years ago we couldn't even get Will Smith to eat spaghetti, now AI can cook up fight scenes between Goku and Thanos. It's still not perfect but look how quickly its advanced.
@Kidfunkadelic83
There is the disconnect. You are perfectly fine introducing your children to blood guts and gore at a young age and then you draw the line at sexual content? There is an entire episode of South Park dedicated to this very strange double standard. I'm not saying one is fine and the other isn't, I'm saying you shouldn't be introducing your children to EITHER of them.
And if they're all adults then who cares? I'm not saying to watch literal porn and that's not even what these scenes were in the GoW games.
@Kidfunkadelic83 But you're fine tearing the heads off creatures and humans and raining blood everywhere in front of your family? These games are rated M for mature for a reason.
This is the problem with big games as a service releases. If they don't immediately blow up and make all their money back the publishers immediately pull the plug.
I think it's fine if big multiplayer games get ports so everyone can play but everything else should just stay exclusive. It's way more work trying to optimize for every single PC configuration anyway.
