Shame most devs don’t think the same! Unfortunately we have an industry infested with big corp with an insatiable drive for larger margins.

Tbf gta is the only game I would be willing to pay £100 for.

I really hope insomniac move away from superhero games for their next outing. Never a genre that interests me.

Another reason why an all digital future is depressing.

“At this point we really shouldn't be surprised, but Bethesda somehow managed to release a borderline broken game on PS5”

Shame none of this info made it into the push square review!

Uncharted 4 was the weaker of the 4 games imo. I always assumed that was because Amy had left tbh.

@BIG3 bungie won’t exist in 6 months sir

Cancel this one but slump more money into horizon, fairgame$ and marathon 🤣

We wait 18 months for that first look 🤣

The right decision is going mulitplat. They’ve proven for over a decade that not many people want their consoles.

The art style (original one) is a massive turn off to the general public now. I don’t think people want to spend £700 on a console plus £1500 for the tv to then be playing games you could play on an iPhone.

@Frmknst rage bait is the only form of engagement left for most media.

@Llamageddon yeah fair point. I completely understand trying to grow the ip with different demographics. Never in a million years should this game have been made by the main developers though.

@Llamageddon if horizon fans aren’t the target audience what’s the point of using the horizon branding? Of course they are targeting single player horizon fans! It won’t work but the plan is obviously monetisation of the fans to drain the wallets of the addicts. Same as every love service game

Incredible that this 3 year old game still doesn’t work. Can’t wait to play elder scrolls 6 remastered in 2035

Comment section tells you and the devs everything you need to know! This will die a quicker death than marathon

Horizon super hero’s unite!

Nearly every “AAA” game ships broken with huge day one patches and months of hot fixes. For some reason people are desperate to slam pearl abyss for doing exactly the same. In fact most people give aaa devs a free pass in the exact same circumstances.

Gamepass was always a loss leader tha was designed to make the rest of the market submit into becoming a subscription service. It was always destined to fail. Games are far too expensive to make into a subscription service without charging mega money.

Look at the charts in a little more detail and you’ll notice a few games have digital sales excluded. Hardly comprehensive

Marathon is on sale now if people were waiting to jump in.

They will slowly move away from day one game pass. It never made financial sense and game pass will never be the Netflix of gaming.

$100m to make a movie seems cheap considering game development is usually $200m+ for “AAA” games

Really need to get this one. Keep forgetting about it.

Once marathon, horizon hunters and fairgame$ have all failed miserably Hulst will be toast.

@GuttyYZ was about to type the same thing. I’ve never played a gambling game so have no idea how the lingo works

The desperation to crap on this game and the developers by some gamers is crazy! Most of them are probably Ubisoft fans

These guys put western devs to shame. I imagine people would be crying about crunch if this game was developed in the USA

Sony higher ups probably think Hulst is doing a great job. PlayStation revenues are at record highs since he took charge. The disconnect comes from the players feeling abandoned by this relentless drive for live service! The balance from Sony needs to be much better than I has been this gen. History will not look back fondly at the ps5 generation imo.

@Northern_munkey I think the game will do okay just because it’s free to play. How long players will stick around will all come down to the gameplay loop. Unfortunately a large number of people will have already decided this one is doa. I’m more concerned about the reception of hunters gathering because I think that one will tank hard.

I haven’t played a Lego game for years. I might be interested in this one.

Best thing for this game is free to play. It would be doa if it were priced at £50

“The best place to play” after we patch the game in 3 months

The last game I purchased and then instantly returned because of the need to create an account.

This game would have sold millions of copies if they released it at the same time as Xbox. Since then everyone knows it’s a crap lifeless boring game. Add in the fake reviews that didn’t spot the bugs and crashes you can understand why people aren’t interested.

This game is number one wishlisted on steam so this thing will have a long tail. Good for them!

Same pattern will have been repeated all over. I pulled the trigger because I knew gta6 would need to pro for the best experience.

@Fluberuper Roblox is designed to be played by children under 10 that won’t have the cognitive ability to play more complex games. When you think about the simplicity of the game its quite obvious why it’s popular.

Gta6 online is going to be so much more popular than gta5 version. Especially for all the rp servers.

Capcom have been killing it in recent years. They remind me of what Sony used to be.

Sony makes more tv and movie adaptations of games than games.

The multi platform strategy is way too profitable for them to abandon imo. Xbox (the console) is a lot like sega back in the day.

It’s funny to me that paid overtime is classed as some sort of bad work culture. 90% of the people I know want overtime

I still find it incredible that not one reviewer ran into these issues. It’s almost as if the game wasn’t really played by the reviewers and just given a score.

It’s funny how many contrarians declare their disinterest in gta6.

It’s incredible that all the review copies work fine for every news outlet but the public release is so broken.

Having to create an account to play a game is a deal breaker for me. Hence the reason I will never buy a Ubisoft game ever again.

@cragis0001 completely agree! The only difference is game development can’t be controlled by American corporations in the same way.

Large corporations taking over gaming studios has ruined most of those studios. The good thing is creatives from the next generation will replace the hollowed out shells. Gaming isn’t for everyone no matter how much the large corporations want it to be.
