Grim-Tuesday

Update the score to reflect the microtransactions in game. I'm glad I waited so that I can give it the proper score of mediocre. Screw Activision.

What's the bet they'll bend the rules and allow you to buy company coins with real money?

I'll wait until they decide to release the whole thing.

It has microtransactions and so I'll pass.

While I still think the mini releases is a stupid stunt, Sony could have doubled or tripled the number of games on their system without much added costs. It would've provided a much better value to their mini system than Nintendo's arguably better offer.

I can make my own and there's nothing Sony can do about it.

@Lando_ I wouldn't say untrustworthy, but he is biased towards Nintendo. He had streaks of Nintendo criticism before the switch happened. Somehow he became a total shill when that thing was revealed. I hadn't watched him since.

@Lando_ He's a Nintendo fanboy. He didn't seem like he was, but he did a complete 180 when the switch was revealed. For months he and supermetaldave rejected the switch rumors and tried to debunk them. One thing he said was that it would be stupid of Nintendo if they only matched the power of the PS4. The very next week, after it was revealed, he retracted every single negative comment he made about the rumors and started shilling for the switch. Supermetaldave remained disappointed as he said he would if the rumors were true. It was bizarre to see someone completely 180 their opinions the next week over a reveal.

Yup. It was one of the best games on the Wii u.

Hearing 'GaaS' always deflates my enthusiasm.

@carlos82 I don't think it's because Switch owners have nothing to play, rather, it's because it plays like an old Nintendo game. I could be wrong though.

This is classic insomniac. They're the best.

But why isn't there an option to pay for it? If I learned anything from EA and Ubisoft is that I must have to pay for the option to have an option.

If it's anything like battlefront 2s miserable campaign mode then they may as well leave it out.

@adf86 I believe xboxs tag line was, "For the viewers."

I was honestly surprised they didn't have it from the beginning. They typically have new game plus in their games.

It's a good thing I work in the Goonies and so my PS4 has been offline all week.

It helps that I'm not into shooters in the first place, but I'd wait a few months to see if Activision pulls any bs with this game. Destiny 2 was very well received initially and quickly fell from Grace after implementing their engram trash.

I don't buy trash.

Lol. I'm not falling for bungie's tricks.

(Absolutely pun intended)

It's still a no from me. Fps makes me sick, but the bigger problem here is the experience and the mods you get from experience. It'll have a pay to upgrade mechanic for sure. It's a definite pass from me.

That's really really sad. A game makes more money throwing in paid experience, and making those more savvy people grind for it.

@Wickedspades They're charging me for extra experience. As predicted, Assassins
Creed Odyssey is an extremely grindy game. They purposefully made the grind extremely grindy in order to sell you these "one time purchases" or as EA likes to call them, "options".

It's a yakuza game. Day one.

I gotta make a stand. Games with microtransactions are a pass for me.

They should lower the price of 2.8 because that's the only one I'm really missing. And it'd only really be for aquas PS4 demo because I could never get into dream drop distance.

@DMG361132 I'm only exaggerating about it being the same, but I personally don't like shooters. I get motion sickness playing them.

EA could just put a woman on the box.

@Splat Yeah, I know a few as well. They're just ok with mediocrity.

I already own Yakuza, but the quality here is significantly better. Bad for me, but good for non owners.

If I had nothing going on then I wouldn't care about their well being via crunch time. In all seriousness, I'm glad they're prioritizing quality and well being over money.

I'm amazed by the people who buy call of duty and sports games every year.

It's Activision we're talking about. If I didn't know from software, I'd be suspicious of microtransactions. "Just a small payment of $1.99 to revive your character.

I'll just skip it. It's just another call of duty.

It's an EA game; any amount is too much.

Let's take a look at the contract shall we?

Yup, definitely.

Fist of the North star, mega Man 11, and soul caliber 6 for me. I'm betting red dead will come to pc eventually.

I wonder if they'll have spare checkpoints which make it too painful to reach the boss in order to push those red orb revivals. If it were EA, it would be a definite yes.

@kixem I think it's the feeling of most people here too. I think some people have faith that kojima is making something good despite the lack of game.

I'd say no. I don't like handhelds.

Spider-Man with a sprinkle of Yakuza karaoke.

@Jaz007 My explanation is very simple. Call of duty is the same game every year. The one time they changed it then people threw a fit, but they just added futuristic equipment and double jump. It still looked like call of duty and this one hasn't changed.

@Tasuki It's the same game every year.

Yaaaaaas!!!

They're probably lying. Other than the fact call of duty is the same game every year, I think they found their Cash cow and they're going all in on microtransactions. Doesn't bother me because I haven't played a single one, but screw Activision.

It's good for casuals, but I prefer. . . a different experience. Dragon Quest, fist of the North star, Spyro, and Spider-Man are my future purchases.

I believe all the dlc is included in the steam version as well. It's a really really good game. It's right up there with axiom Verge. I don't think they're super Metroid perfection though.

@BowTiesAreCool Insomniac is AAA. I think they feel dwarfed by naughty dog, their once literal next door neighbors and santa Monica.

The nerve of this developer.
