@Futureshark 7.5 billion is just the tip of the iceberg as well. You will have massive staffing costs, game development and tools, online infrastructure costs, ip licences. Looking around the 15 to 20 billion mark. We all know Microsoft are a trillion dollar company but they still don't like losing money.
@Col_McCafferty But you will have access to an app in 3 years time. If you can pay a tenner play all there games in a month then be on your way. You telling me you wouldn't do that??
@Jarobusa For the amount of investment and money that would go into making quality games its not sustainable. They would need 100 million plus subscribers every month. Unless they go down the AA route as they have done so far to cut costs. X cloud so far has bombed so far. The future will definitely be gamepass app on every TV so maybe then the fanboy wars will stop.
It won't come out for probably another 3 years or so more than likely just be on Xbox and PC. Gets tedious every single game will it won't it be on PS5. Wat is the point in Xbox buying a developer if its not going to be exclusive. Personally I have both consoles so couldn't care. Only people who truly care are die hard fanboys. Most if not all true gamers have both and let's face it in 3 years time Xbox and Playstation Apps will be on our TVS so purchasing a console gets less more important as every day passes. With Covid and American Terrorism who knows where we will be in 3 years time.
@get2sammyb Not very responsible advertising it imo as alot of your readers will be children. Dont agree with this article at all. Smells of paid advertising hidden in a article. Understand we all struggling at present but this is not a good look tbh.
Find it a bit morally wrong that push square are highlighting Battle passes as I am sure alot of there readers are kids and can be influenced. Just makes me feel uncomfortable and almost doubting @getsammyb motives tbh. I mean is this a paid sponsorship it all just seems morally wrong in my eyes. Battle passes and microtransactions are the dirty seedy part of gaming that means we get ***** like Avengers, Anthem, Fallout76 etc. I can only assume Activision have given you a few quid to basically advertise it. Not a good look at all for Push Square.
Not heard much about this game tbh. Shame that many gems are hidden in an ocean of mediocrity. Got to be a better way for the store to advertise these kind of games.
Looking forward to Maneater was going to buy at it some point but still have a huge backlog of games to play. Tomb raider was a bit boring and disappointing. Greedfell looks OK to kill many hours and a decent RPG.
@NoxAeturnus plz put some spaces in your essay next time so its easier to read on my phone. But from skimming through I take it you didn't like the game lol.
@Aya-chan Yep either you love or hate this game no grey area at all. Shame the haters can't see a middle ground and appreciate the so many things it did right. For me it wasn't my personal GOTY that goes to Hades but I can appreciate how good TLOU2 was and graphically it doesn't have an equal. Story is subjective hence so many diffrent opinions. But I have seen fan polls on about 5 sites TLOU2 won every one so no denying many millions love this game.
@velio84 Bloodbourne remaster will ba announced soon. It can be the only reason there's no PS5 patch for it. Native 4K, 60fps, updated character models I can't wait to die in Yarnham all over again.
Happy New year guys and girls. Thanks for all your efforts in keeping this site informative and friendly. Thankyou to all the posters for some truly great insight and opening my eyes to diffrent views and trying new experiences. Right now bk to work u lazy sods holiday is over lol.
@LordSteev Hey mate not going to knock you for enjoying it. Glad you like it and I know they will make it even better for you in 2021. Happy New year dude.
@wiiware I don't know alot of First party games are Single player experiences whats to stop the customer buying playing it all the way through then getting a refund. I think it should be based on playtime say about the 2 hour range.
@SirRealDeal How can this be nothing but a positive yh its store credit and will be spent on another game but at least the customer won't feel ripped off and with the incredible sale right now lots of games to purchase for a cheap price.
Sony had no legal obligation to do this. So in this case its nothing more than a moral decision by them. Great to see to be honest and builds trust 👍
@Jimmer-jammer Yh I have it for the Switch and can't stop playing it. Graphics are nice considering its a Switch game. But gameplay is top notch. Yh First party exclusives are ok but timed exclusives suck big time and needs to go. Sure after 6 months it will be on consoles.
@Jimmer-jammer Thats it mate it has potential and happy you're enjoying it. I can't stop playing Hades at present highly recommend it. But when there is a PS5 version of Cyberpunk I am sure it will be way better it has to be.
@Jimmer-jammer Excellent counter points my friend. But think how good it could if been if those things were added and improved.
Police should of had a dynamic wanted system with bribes and assassinate certain police to remove wanted level. They have to update the fact if I drive 10 yards away they completely lose you. Spawning police out of nowhere can at times completely ruin it.
Npcs at times barely interact with you and just go round on a specific path. So more interaction and conversation options needed.
No doubt if you do all the side content its a 100hrs plus game. But main story is between 15 to 20 hours depending on skill level. They should of integrated some of the side quests into the main story. Side quests I really enjoyed btw.
Gunplay is passable but compared with Cod or Destiny nowhere near as responsive or varied.
If they can add to the game and add the features they touted it could be great and GOTY contender. But current state its good but not great.
@LordSteev Its ok but not fantastic imo. Broken AI. Cops that are hilariously bad. Short story, missing features that were promised, okish shooting mechanics.Terrible customization and loot. Story for side content i liked and main story was ok but predictable. Overall 7/10 but from the same devs who crafted Witcher 3 it's disappointing in so many ways.
Nice list and shows the TLOU2 is like marmite you either love it or hate it. But you can't say it didn't take risks and played it safe. I have Tony hawks for Xmas looking forward to it.
@Evilsilly She didn't like Origins but loved Odyssey. From what I have read Valhalla has a similar formula so after refund will pick it up just dreading the shops in Xmas rat race lol.
WTF now my settings are all messed up. They didn't fix any of the issues yet again. Its clear the problems are deep lying in the code and no hotfix patch will address the issues. I hope after there holidays they can fix all this. But for me I am out and also unwrapping Cyberpunk present I bought for a family member and getting a refund. Maybe get her Valhalla instead. Such a mess and so sad to see.
Ai is a joke wasn't there supposed to be police you can bribe and they react to you depending on your situation. Instead we get magical spawning police who shoot on site or plain just do nothing. Ai in NPCS is non existent and the amount of cloned NPCS is a joke and lazy. Gun play is ok but not at Destiny or COD levels. Story is best aspect of the game but even then its nothing mindblowing. Without the bugs and my 40 plus crashes I would give it a 7/10 good but not great. It made me play the Witcher 3 again wich is still one of the best games I have ever played and why we all fooled for the smoke and mirrors and trusted CDPR.
Speechless I think it makes history as the 1st AAA game to be removed form the playstation store. They must have been flooded with complaints and refund requests.
Well considering Kojima is in Cyberbug2077 its not surprising. Ironic Kojima and CDPR have both fallen from grace for diffrent reasons after being the media and gamers darlings. Now both merging and screwing console gamers is ironic and not reading the room very well.

1st one wasn't the best and nowhere near the level of the souls games. But every game is a new slate imo could be great who knows.

Re: Game of the Year: #1 - The Last of Us: Part II
