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.
@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.
@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.
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.
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.
@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".
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.
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.
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 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.
@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.
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.
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.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Has Timed Exclusive Microtransactions on PS4
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.
Re: Battlefield V's Microtransactions Are for Cosmetics Only, DICE Promises
What's the bet they'll bend the rules and allow you to buy company coins with real money?
Re: Spyro: Reignited Trilogy Still Requires Content Download for Second and Third Games
I'll wait until they decide to release the whole thing.
Re: Devil May Cry 5 Earns the Approval of Fans in New Trailer
It has microtransactions and so I'll pass.

Re: Officially Licensed PlayStation Furniture Is a Thing Now
I can make my own and there's nothing Sony can do about it.

Re: Trine 4 Confirmed, Coming to PS4 in 2019
Yup. It was one of the best games on the Wii u.
Re: Alien: Isolation Devs Making a New Tactical Shooter
Hearing 'GaaS' always deflates my enthusiasm.

Re: Insomniac Pokes Fun at Spider-Man PS4's Puddles with New Stickers
This is classic insomniac. They're the best.
Re: Catherine: Full Body's Safety Difficulty Setting Lets You Enjoy the Story with Little or No Gameplay Challenge
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.
Re: Catch a Glimpse of New War Stories in Battlefield V Single Player Trailer
If it's anything like battlefront 2s miserable campaign mode then they may as well leave it out.
Re: Sony Hiring for Next Generation Marketing Campaign
@adf86 I believe xboxs tag line was, "For the viewers."
Re: Spider-Man PS4 New Game Plus Coming 'Super Soon'
I was honestly surprised they didn't have it from the beginning. They typically have new game plus in their games.
Re: PS4 Messages Designed to Brick Your Console Reported By Users
It's a good thing I work in the Goonies and so my PS4 has been offline all week.
Re: Hands On: Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Is One of the Best Multiplayer Games This Generation

Re: Destiny 2: Forsaken Will Include Previous Two Expansions Starting Next Week
I don't buy trash.
Re: A More Robust Festival of the Lost Returns in Destiny 2 Next Week
Lol. I'm not falling for bungie's tricks.

Re: Assassin's Creed Odyssey Sets New Series Sales Record
That's really really sad. A game makes more money throwing in paid experience, and making those more savvy people grind for it.

Re: New Judge Eyes Gameplay Sets a Gripping, Gritty Tone for Yakuza Studio's Latest Project
It's a yakuza game. Day one.
Re: Hands On: Devil May Cry 5 Is the Sequel You've Been Waiting For
I gotta make a stand. Games with microtransactions are a pass for me.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Needs 100GB Minimum of your PS4 Hard Drive
@DMG361132 I'm only exaggerating about it being the same, but I personally don't like shooters. I get motion sickness playing them.
Re: EA Sports Closely Monitoring Cristiano Ronaldo Allegations
EA could just put a woman on the box.
Re: UK Stats Show Spider-Man PS4 Vastly Outsold Other Major Exclusives In First Month on Sale
@Splat Yeah, I know a few as well. They're just ok with mediocrity.
Re: November PS Plus Games Seemingly Outed by Official PlayStation Website
I already own Yakuza, but the quality here is significantly better. Bad for me, but good for non owners.
Re: Media Molecule Doesn't Crunch, Reckons It's Too 90s

Re: UK Stats Show Spider-Man PS4 Vastly Outsold Other Major Exclusives In First Month on Sale
I'm amazed by the people who buy call of duty and sports games every year.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Needs 100GB Minimum of your PS4 Hard Drive
I'll just skip it. It's just another call of duty.
Re: EA Games Up to 80 Per Cent Off in NA PS Store Sale
It's an EA game; any amount is too much.

Let's take a look at the contract shall we?
Re: Supermassive Games Is 'Going Nuts' with Range of Experiences in Dark Pictures Anthology
Yup, definitely.
Re: Guide: New PS4 Games Releasing in October 2018
Fist of the North star, mega Man 11, and soul caliber 6 for me. I'm betting red dead will come to pc eventually.
Re: Devil May Cry 5 Has Microtransactions for Some Stupid Reason
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.
Re: TGS 2018: Death Stranding Continues to Confound with the Man in the Golden Mask
@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.
Re: TGS 2018: 'No Plans' for Vita Successor, Says Sony
I'd say no. I don't like handhelds.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 237
Spider-Man with a sprinkle of Yakuza karaoke.

Re: New PS4 Commercial Shows Where Sony's Fall Focus Lies
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.

Re: Insomniac's Boss Wasn't Initially That Fussed About Making a Marvel Game
@BowTiesAreCool Insomniac is AAA. I think they feel dwarfed by naughty dog, their once literal next door neighbors and santa Monica.
