Doesn’t seem so bad to me, why would buying one game entitle you to a remaster, especially if you can still play the game you originally bought on new consoles?
Great article! I think the crowd here is pretty anti-hardcore BR in general, but it’s true that this game seems to lack depth that makes it hard to maintain dedicated following.
What about an option to turn off BTs completely? I often found myself driving around them because after a few hours they are just really boring and a slog. No gameplay skill and limited tension since even if you’re found you can just run past black goo.
Any evidence that Drake stream changed Fortnite status? I know it brought eyeballs but not sure it changed the game’s overall trajectory at all. Love the game!
@BridgeToClarity Fair enough! I think the combat system in Red Dead tampers my enjoyment of the story and quests unfortunately. Not a fan of needing to rely so much on aim assist and dead eye. Might be a ‘me’ problem though.
With the item shop in addition to their "Rocket pass," the conversion to the Fortnite micro-transaction system is now complete. If you can't beat em...
Any hope of them freeing up old inactive account names? Like 5+ years of no use should be sufficient to give them the boot right? Wait, who am I kidding, it took this long to even be able to change names, much less take others...
@Stoffinator Fair, but people that read the review from here on out want to know what the game "is," not what it "was." Welcome to today's video game environment, where games constantly change and media coverages struggles to keep up. :/
Somebody with a better memory, tell me percentage of time leading console in a generation made next iteration backwards compatiable? I want to believe...
Just what my gaming friends and I were waiting for. Been looking to switch things up after some fortnite fatigue and nobody wanted to pony up retail for Blops4
I'm always surprised how some people actually play and enjoy recent previous CoD campaigns. I think its the right move to shift resources to other modes and BR
Unfortunately game critics lost my faith when it comes to CoD years ago. Guaranteed high score. How can they be claiming it dethroned Fortnite already? Ridiculous
LOL at all the uninformed Fortnite hate on this site. H1Z1 looks and plays terrible compared to Fortnite. I'd say lots of console players are giving it a shot, since Fortnite is their only experience in BR, and that the lack of polish will quickly dissipate player numbers in addition to better alternatives coming out in the near future.
Pricepoint and free on Xbox has this game barren on PS4 side now. To put it in perspective, I'm on top of the elimination mode leaderboard and probably just above average at games.
Generally, I just buy remasters when I want to play a game from a previous generation. The graphics up-scaling is nice, but playing through the gameplay of a Resident Evil 4 or something is my real interest.
What's the deal with telltale always getting plus games, must be cheaper option for Sony? I used to really enjoy telltale (1st Walking Dead, Wolf Among Us, Borderlands) but got sick of the formula, and quality seemed to lose its consistency.
@KingSandyRavage I'm with you, originality is great, but it's not a good way to evaluate year-to-year. When exactly was there that much "originality" in a given year? The average release was better than the average release of most years, thus I say it is a good year.
Thanks for the post, not sure if I learned more about me or my feelings towards this year's lineup...only game I played for more than an hour was Killing Floor 2...
Maybe there should have been bracket regions based on game genre to reduce the bias there (might as well reduce bias if you have the opportunity rather than randomize)? That way fighting game fans don't have to take a loss for probably most of the first round matches. Could have been split (fighting, rpg, action, other)

Re: PlayStation Store Hits New Low as PSN Avatar Sells for $99
No problem with it. It’s a marketplace and a niche luxury item to be used as a status symbol. I guess MbS bought a playstation.
