They turned a great game into a disaster. Instead of building new content, they just keep regurgitating the same bad guys with different colors and the occasional new skill. They had an opportunity when the main story arc closed to go to D3 and start a new one. Nope, more regurgitation.
The game is mostly a tedious chore now. They know this but it's too late. They are desperate to milk it for all its worth. It can't die soon enough IMO.
6? Naw, this game is maybe a 5 if you really give weight to the cinematography. It's a solid 4. I wanted to love it, but after multiplayer times forcing myself to play, I couldn't finish it. And this from someone who will play a B level game as long as it can hold my interest. This game is just boring.
They announced in the same meeting Sony is shifting away from hardware and focusing on its "platform", aka software... Hmmm, who else is doing that? 😂
Of course not. Sony has backed themselves into a corner with exclusives. They won't cannibalize profits from sales because it's their only option. Exclusives are literally hurting their growth now. They are happy to put 3rd party games up on PSN. 😂
Sony is resting on its market share while nickel and diming it's customer base.
Yeah the greed factor has ruined D2. I finished the main story arc, after playing consistently since the beta. So done with it now. It's all a cash grab and tedious chore. Sad to see such a great game ruined.
Never liked GTA's and the online version was just a money grab. That said, I can see why devs would not want to compete with it. I can't for the life of me find the allure, but it is clearly popular.
I guess those 35+ million current MS GP subscribers don't count. 😂
I'm sure some want to go back to charging ridiculous prices for games, but many of us enjoy having GP. Besides the obvious benefits, being able to try some games I'd otherwise never buy has doubled my purchased content library. I doubt subscription services are going away anytime soon.
Cross play and multi-platform are good for gamers. Dev costs are skyrocketing. Only the biggest titles can possibly afford to be console specific now. Why do you think Sony is slowly pumping more games out for PC?
@Jay767 bless your heart. Xbox isn't done or dead. 😂 MS sees the market shifting away from consoles as a primary access to games and is adapting. Considering they lose money on consoles, they ain't mad bro.
Loved the game. The style was very engaging, even though some lamented the story driven cut scenes. The game has plenty of action but it's spaced in a way so you don't feel overwhelmed. Yeah it has some tedious parts but what game doesn't? If you played thru to the second map, you know exactly what I mean.
I replayed thru on the Xbox release focusing on achievements and found so much more to the game than I did the first time. Eagerly excited for the next one.
The first 1 held my attention and was a decent play, albeit it very slow. I could not stay interested in 2. It just seemed tedious. I tried to stick it out but gave up after only a few chapters.
Time will push Sony to do the same. Money talks and more 3rd party game devs are abandoning the idea of exclusives, especially for multiplayer. Sonys' already trickling out more of their games to PC.
MS is already on record from multiple sources stating they are actively working on a next gen console and potentially a handheld as well. I'm more excited for a native handheld. They've learned a lot from the surface so it's definitely possible to be a hit.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Death Stranding 2?
I'm a couple hours in. I kind of miss the long cut scenes from the first one. Lol. I know every one else complained, but I liked it.

Re: Death Stranding 2's Unbelievable PS5 Load Times Are Practically Instant
Kojima seems to really pay attention to optimization. Is it the console or just food development?

Re: Talking Point: Is PlayStation Right in Saying PC Isn't a 'Major Risk' to Console Business?
Game dev is too expensive now to be locked into one console. For all Sonys' denials, they know this. They have to broaden their market.
