@Kierant202 very well stated. I don't think expedition 33 is for me, but had i been interested in it , oblivion remaster would not have stopped me from getting both.
Im glad this publisher ( that i have never heard of) has put on their adult pants and learned to problem solve. It is ludicrous to expect a growing, and seemingly exponentially, crowded market to pause competition and sales. Business don't work like that. Imagine if ford asked gm not to release a truck model series just because it would hurt fords launch. You cant half swim with sharks. Either you embrace, adapt to the market, and survive, or you don't. No amount of begging, wishing, or whining changes that. If this is the attitude that indie developers have adopted, then the future of gaming looks pretty bleak.
Got it on my lunch break yesterday. Unfortunately it took 27 minutes for the deluxe edition to download ( 30 minute lunch) so i had to wait til after work and the kids went to bed. BUT even though I expected amazing visuals-i was completely blown away! Even on an older tv this game is just beautiful. I dont have enough words, in any of the 3 languages i speak, to describe it. Bethesda has long been my favorite developer but this just cements their lead at the top of my list! Knocked it out of the park with this one.
@Balaam_ cause im sure Bethesda is reeeeally concerned about what one person feels that they “better” do ( im guessing you forgot to put the “or else” part in there lol) That being said- I hope they release on disc as well, but if it is download only im still buying it. 🙂
@naruball the problem is that everybody says that but only a handful actually do that. Im on the fence on this issue. I see a lot of great points. And i also have the luxury of having multiple systems and a bunch of free gaming options- take that as you will. To me it seems like sony is just trying to keep with what the market is doing, which is weird because they used to be so much more of their own way. Does it price people out? Sure. are most of the people that complain STILL paying the increased price? You bet. There is an old saying that still rings true “Money talks”. Enough people stop paying and eventually it will force sony to do something different. Everything else just lets sony (and others) get away with never ending price hikes. execs only listen to sales stats, not commentary.
The people that feel the need to compare seem obsessed. They are different brands and types of systems. Why cant that be ok? This is like in junior high when one kid would try to get two groups to fighting. The playstation 4 and 5 is awesome. The switch 1 and 2 is awesome. I dont feel like they are the same, or serve the same purpose, so why the obsession over comparing the two? Its like comparing a Honda accord to a dodge durango. Does not make sense to me
@CKFilms yeah i do agree. Very ridiculous. I thought game companies would do more on the legal side to protect against stuff like this. Only this time I'm glad i heard the rumor. I held back some of my videogame budget because of it. Otherwise i would have blown it on one of psn’s never ending sales, on a few cheap games that would likely sit in my library.
Woot woot! I have a rule against either buying a game day one or preordering, but for this game ( and KCD 2) im making an exception. Love Skyrim but all around i feel Oblivion is more rounded and a better fit for an Elder Scrolls game.
Ugh 4 hours into my Dugar dwarf monk. Quite the conundrum. Do i restart or make a plan to replay for later, knowing im splitting my available game time also playing KCD2, and a few others? And of course when Oblivion drops im playing that through. Hmmm. thoughts?
@QiaraIris i hope they do file bankruptcy. and im not a fan of EA either. Instead of them adopting an arrogant and entitled attitude towards the gamer base, they could have just gracefully explained that they cant keep servers up indefinitely. These gaming companies have grown glass feelings lately.
@Jrs1 i dont disagree with you in if you like a game etc…. Im similar mostly. I ignore most reviews. The edit though confuses me? What if you bought a movie on dvd? You would expect to be able to re watch it whenever. And as long as you had a dvd/ blue ray player.
Ok so first they use veiled legal threats for negative reviews of assassins creed shadow, then they imply that buying a game is only buying for a limited time ( without that upfront and clear disclaimer). How to say “we hate our client base” without actually saying it. Pound sand ubisoft. I may be one fella but thats one less fellas money youll get- well also my kids so i guess 3-5 peoples money.
Well that explains all the comparison articles to the switch 2 this week lol. I was just wondering why there were so many on here. Im VERY impressed by playstation for console, but if im going hand held or portable at all im sticking with the switch.
I dont get why people are butthurt over Nintendos marketing decisions. Its a great platform with a lot of options. I have a switch also. not going to upgrade as im satisfied with what i have. I prefer ps5 but that doesnt mean Nintendo’s product or marketing strategy is weak. Just like with ps5, i kept my ps4 until i could afford a ps5 and its games. Why is that such an offensive concept? The xbox issue was an issue of connectivity ( comparing apples to oranges) when upgraded, and was handled Very poorly. That contributed to an already snobbish and elitist pc and xbox culture that was pervasive at that time. I dont see this as the same thing. And i believe that the upgrade in price is to push people into a false choice that benefits the service/renting/streaming model.
