It's kinda weird being obsessed with a virtual character especially those anime characters but hey let's not get into that, Tekken 8 is a great game though.
@AgentMantis They have another one in the pipeline coming out this year from the same developer so maybe some of the money went into that project.
I think black ops 6 was a throw away game but this upcoming game will try and compete for mind share and player retention when a game like GTA 6 gets released because I've noticed the best Call of Duty products come out when another big player like rockstar releases a big game.
But I won't be buying it that's for sure, especially with all of this Ai slop 😂
It sounds like there will be less creative employees but more trillions will be made with ease because the money hungry pigs want more fodder, I can imagine some of them are drooling at the mouth already thinking about it.
Players want "shared worlds" and "deeper engagement"....."that would have benefited our investors and our business by having a machine that generates more money for us but we would still close it down if that didn't good either but at least we may have earned more"
@Jamesblob If I was Google/Apple I wouldn't let their dung on the store either because a high majority of customers will be locked into that system and not playing anything else which hurts the industry as a whole for other people's investments or opportunities when hoping to gain an audience after creating a new application or game.
700 million!, they definitely reduced the budget when making black ops 6 then because there is plenty of features that are missing compared to let's say cold war or black ops 3 like for example more statistics, leaderboard tabs and so on.
Laid back & having a good time with the joystick whilst the PS5 is running quietly would be very pleasant and pleasurable but not long lasting after playing Superscout.
There was a scruffy pot head dude who used to live near me that wore dirty homer Simpson slippers too the shop in the morning with a cup of tea so if I see someone wearing them Fornite ones I won't be able to hold in the laughter 😂
Yeah i think its great so far but the campaign mission with the zombies and what not felt stupid or unnecessary and currently that's how far i am playing it.
Its baffling that they don't try to absorb some of the mobile market by developing/publishing lower tier games that don't have high end graphics but a good amount of money is put into it that leads to good creativity and designs instead of pumping hundreds of millions in to lets say concord, Nintendo do good in that regard.
I would happily take games today (like Sly Cooper for example) that have the graphics quality of the ps2 hardware that would make them look better then most mobile games.
So on that note, games with photo realistic graphics don't appreciate and age well (basically living another life after work) compared to a game that you can just turn and hop on like Pac-Man & Tetris and have fun.
Have they updated their website to have a stock updater yet because i remember when there was scalpers galore a few years ago when the ps5 or the Xbox was really hard to get and if you checked to see if they had any stock on their website it would always say it is in stock compared to every other retailer but it wasn't.
I cant imagine the amount of rigmarole and stress a customer had to deal with back then never mind now.
So if you get put into that code/script straight off the bat when the fight starts you ain't winning 😂 I can deal with games like Dark Souls or Elden Ring but that is nasty.
@get2sammyb Yeah same. As a dumb kid, I used to waste all of my credit some times on the numbers that was on the back of the magazines/books because i always thought there was some forbidden cheats that no one knew about and also for the hot chick that was on the back of the cheat book 😂
I'm gonna say before it gets fully implemented.......
"Down with intrusive unskippable advertisements that pop up during gameplay"
EA, 2K & Ubisoft have already tried it but I can see it going that way eventually because consoles are not gaming devices anymore, they're entertainment advertising media service devices now.
Adding things like YouTube/Netflix was one nail in the coffin for me.
Thanks for the daily reminder on how much of a mental asylum the internet (Twitter) is but on that note, "I'm interested but want to learn more"...because I need to complete the first one.
@DennisReynolds Yeah i agree with you on that one mucker because the last time i kept up with the games it was years ago (after gen 4 i think) and the recent ones do look different compared to the isometric top down games from years ago but with the massive popularity and uproar, when it came out, i can imagine it did rattle their cages and it popped their bubbles for a brief moment that has lead them to start thinking differently but like you and i said, it is a ant and the mind share they have will probably not make much of a difference but a small amount of money could be lost.
They're hurting Nintendo's/TPC's mind share that people have with Pokémon that's for sure and I'd say it's about time since the games are just rinse and repeat buggy messes that comes from two big multi billion dollar companies. I can imagine that will be a small reason and it is a petty one at that.
I have seen a screenshot which is the task manger on windows with God of War running with the PSN requirements and the amount of processes it does is insane, I think it runs about 15 instances all at the same time and it uses about 20% of ram or more just for PSN only.
If I had a high tier potato PC I would be annoyed 😂

Re: God of War Ragnarok PC Review Bombed Over PSN Requirement
