Re: 'This Is Unsustainable Madness': Modern Video Game Budgets Are Out of Control

Globo

I barely buy games full price now I won't be buying any games day one if they go over 80 quid I'd happily wait for a discount I have patience!
And it's up to the studios to get value for money double A developers can make a great looking game that plays well without spending hundreds upon hundreds of millions on it.
Us gamers don't need to be responsible for there failures some of us might be mindless cash cows for these companies and will pay whatever they want but I'd like to think that's in the minority!

Re: PS5's Dynamic Pricing Debacle Appears to Extend to the US Now

@UltimateOtaku91 I'm not against people playing on last gen getting a big discount on current gen machines.
I agree it's not a great practice but this particular offer I think is very good for people on last gen I wouldn't want to take that away from them just for the sake of it.

Re: PS5 Players Seemingly Skip Marathon as Sales Estimates Look Very Weak

@Vertere I totally agree with you but it's not sustainable for so many live service games to be made and fail a month or two down the line.
Some games you can see will fail before they are even released people call it straight away and are mostly right.
Just seems a waste of money, time and effort for so many to keep popping up!
It's just a bit boring the constant groundhog day news around gaming in my opinion company sacks employees, live service game fails, AI use in gaming the outrage!
Its becoming a bit old now.
Same song different dance.

@Vertere I just think for the time being that we really don't need more live service games the big ones out are established with big user bases or at least a big enough user base to keep it going similar to helldivers 2 the numbers aren't exceptional but good enough to keep the game alive.
It's just too hard to create something new in the live service genre that will stick nowadays it's failure after failure millions upon millions wasted for nothing.
It's too hard to crack nowadays I'm not against live service games I love helldivers 2 and liked fbc firebreak but it's impossible it seems for new ones to last and succeed!
There's no real hunger for more live service games in the gaming community.
The companies are just trying to create a game that requires less effort to make and sustain and make more money from it it's not us gamers dying for more live service games.

Unfortunately this is the same in most fields of work not just gaming although working in the gaming industry is very volatile as job security is terrible!
The unfortunate truth is in most jobs your just a number I've had that experience myself working somewhere the boss you actually work with loves you go the extra mile take on more responsibility off your own back but the guys who hire and fire don't care the extra effort is for nothing you are a number on a spreadsheet nothing more it's very sad but extremely common in the real world thats just a fact!

Re: Capcom's Stance on Generative AI Is Interesting Following Resident Evil Requiem's DLSS 5 Makeover

@Flaming_Kaiser Time will tell on that I'm sure as it evolves there will be new privacy and copyright laws introduced to tackle things like that right now it's kinda the wild west they are doing what they can get away with.
Personally I think dlss 5 looks amazing for gaming when used with the developers input and approval it's just another tool for them to use in my opinion.

Re: Sony's Lost Breaking Bad PSVR Project Unearthed in New Report

Globo

How crazy after being with my misses for over ten years and two kids and I finally got her to start watching breaking bad recently and she's addicted haha
To be honest a breaking bad video game vr game sounds bad and that ship has sailed anyways the series is over an awfully long time now!

Re: Capcom's Stance on Generative AI Is Interesting Following Resident Evil Requiem's DLSS 5 Makeover

Globo

@KoopaTheGamer Yeah it is I totally agree but most of that could be said about tv or the telephone with scamming people and misinformation.
Sure the president of America says straight up lies as facts so we are very much in to era of misinformation and scamming.
Like with most powerful tools or inventions there are ways it could be used badly or ina harmful way but the genie is out of the bottle now AI is here to stay unless a solar flare wipes out everything electronic.
If it is harnessed for good though especially in medical research it benefits are near endless.

Re: Poll: Has PS5's Dynamic Pricing Debacle Changed Your Relationship with the PS Store at All?

Globo

@UltimateOtaku91 Deals for you is the only thing you could call dynamically priced they are normally cheap crap games with a a few quid off basically useless the normal sales is where it's at for actual deals so yeah technically there is a single dynamically priced sale the odd time.
I just don't think any company should be dynamically pricing stuff unless it's for the customers benefit!
It's bad on either console be obvious there must be more of it on playstation considering the amount of these stories about it!

Re: Crimson Desert Looks 'Rough' on Base PS5, Here's 25 Minutes of Direct Capture Footage

Globo

So now pssr2 is out anything that doesn't use it is fuzzy??
But like a month ago it wouldn't be fuzzy at all haha just because the ps5 pro is good doesn't mean that the base ps5 is bad now all of a sudden.
That's Donald Trump type thinking that the best way to make out something is good is by making out like anything but that is useless!
Also news flash just because something isn't upscaled 4k doesn't mean it's fuzzy!
I can't take that seriously I mean the game is rendered at about 1440p upscaled to 4k on quality that's not fuzzy just people being fussy!
