I actually dislike world/icerborne to this day. Mostly cause i like playing single player and the single player on it was miserable. Multiplayer it should be fine as it's easier. It was Rise Sunbreak that got me in. Great game.
By younger... does he mean younger than in the reboot? Or younger than that? Cause we have had Ascencion and chains of Olympus predating the first game already.
I think I would prefer a story with the Egyptian gods in between the original trilogy and the reboot. But whatever. I'm sure they will sort it out.
@DennisReynolds Yeah... the final release is also full price and there's no guarantees they will follow though with that promise.
So... it's best to wait and see but tbh I was not impressed with the game itself.
I think I will wait for the next one. I much preferred Rise Sunbreak to world iceborne.
I tried it. But I felt some of the world iceborne frustrations coming back.
Also the whole must start an online single player just upsets me. It did in world and it did here. What's wrong with village and hub quests? I don't want daily rewards and don't want my MH to feel like a live service.
@rvk5150 It won't be able to update, obviously. But, if it's already installed it will be updated and fine.
If you delete it and install from the disc again then it won't be updated and your saves will not be compatible. You have to start over. But, it will work. A digital copy needs periodic verification and will stop working when it can't.
Unless, of course, if a firmware update changes that. Naturally, you can't delete it either because if you can't redownload it it will be lost forever.
Putting the bar at baldurs gate 3 is what killed veilguard sales.
EA shipped a complete, polished single player game without micro transactions and people couldn't value that.
Of course EA will turn back to live services. People have literally told them that with their wallets.
A Larian like aproach of 6 years of development is not on the table.
This was a shot on the foot for fans. Had veilguard made expectations, feedback could have been taken into account for the next game. Now, there is no more devs and no more dragon age.
I remember playing gears of war 2 on my 360. I was not too impressed. For some reason, Judgement was intriguing me more. Same with Halo. Reach seems to be more interesting to me, but i don't play FPS shooter games.
Either way, nothing i would buy. Just judgement for curiosity if it was on the very cheap.
Things like quick resume won't be the deciding factor for me. The games are. And Playstation and Switch offer more high quality ones. Why would i deny myself those options?
I dunno. They seem to be in denial regarding what to do with their hardware.
It also shows why the market isn't growing.
Covid had a nasty effect and publishers incentive you not to go out and buy.
But at the end if the day, you need to buy a physical console. Not having a presence on retail will prevent the capture of casuals and free advertisement that provides. It's a big mistake to pigeon hole on digital.
Personally, if retail stops existing and the ps shop is the only way to aquire games it's probably the day i will abandon playstation cause that will be a monopoly and extremely consumer unfriendly.
I don't think dragon age is a big hit, it performed in the ballpark of inquisition in the same time frame (despite high expectations from EA) but FIFA/FC is their biggest earner. It's huge. That is why the stocks reflected that.
It really sucks if they don't patch in some sort of new game+. At least the nug like inquisition had for the cosmetics to carry over.
Some more save slots would be appreciated too.
The game is great and i love it but these constrictions are baffling.
A blood splatter toggle would be cool too, but i don't hard need it. It would just be nice.
Gottal lol at people here saying "oh no there is no dlc". The game is complete. Doesn't need dlc. Every game should be like this.
@nomither6 That is not a conclusion you can make from these polls.
We had to choose one option. I would prefer the series to continue, so i voted for a new one. Doesn't mean i wouldn't like to see remakes of the earlier games. But, i couldn’t pick both.
The option of the remakes in this poll means: Are you done with the series and are only willing to revisit earlier titles? That is what you got in those 17%.
I am sure it's coming along and the shift is slowly happening, unless they decide to do some dlc for the veilguard afterall to fill the time. Something i would not mind. I really enjoyed it.
I would be surprised if it's more than 3-4 years away.
@boarderbro88 In live services? For sure. Trust was lost with concord. In their usual single player games? They are still making GOTY level stuff. I don't think trust was lost there.
@RagnarLothbrok It would be absolutely crazy if they closed Bioware after this game. It is a high quality game. Some people may have issue with the writing but from a technical and design level the game is almost flawless. It would be insane to just fire the team that made it in the last 2 years. Unless this was made at Austin or something.

Not really looking forward to anything so i hope there are some exciting announcements for me.
Re: Dragon Quest 12 Still in Development, Dev Reassures
I never doubted. The thing sells millions.
Here's another one fresh off the presses: Kingdom Hearts 4 is still in development.
There, you got another scoop. 😆

Re: Looks Like Resident Evil 5 Is Getting a PS5 Port Too
@__Seraph Rumors say both. But I don't really care for RE0.
Re: The Order: 1886 Dev Pitched a Sequel to Sony, But Was Denied
Oh wow... the game is definitely not a 63.
It's more in the 7-8 range.
It was pretty good and it's sad it didn't get a sequel.
I still blame the stupid things the devs said at the time like making it 24fps to be more cinematic. Like... get a grip.

Re: PSN Downtime Raises Fresh Questions About PS5's Future Functionality
I sounds like there is a lot to be concerned about though. 😅
It means ps5 pro will become a paper weight when it loses psn access.
Re: Embattled US Retailer Trolls Customers for Picking Digital During PSN Outage on PS5, PS4
So defensive. Felt threatened?
It was a good reminder, for sure.

Re: PSN Down as PS5, PS4 Players Can't Log In or Play Online
I already played the beta of Wilds and made my decision not to buy it. So, I can wait. 😅
Re: Poll: Would You Buy a PS5 Mouse Accessory?
No. If I need a mouse to play it, I play it on my PC.
Also, no reason not to let USB mice and keyboards be compatible.
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Failed Because It Wasn't Live Service, EA CEO Seems to Suggest
I can't say I am surprised.
Snub the polished high quality single player game, get the back of the hand live service.
That's what you get. 🤷♂️
Re: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Immediately Sells 1 Million Copies
A flop in EA terms. 😅
Re: New Onimusha Isn't an 'Impossibly Difficult Game', Capcom Just Wants Sick Sword Fights
@Nepp67 OK, but there are plenty of souls likes around to choose from.
Re: New Onimusha Isn't an 'Impossibly Difficult Game', Capcom Just Wants Sick Sword Fights
@PapaGlitch You are not starving for choice. You got the Nioh games as well.
Re: PlatinumGames Seemingly Spills More Top Bayonetta, Astral Chain Talent
@PuppetMaster the game is 70% complete already. It's unlikely it will have any effect.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?
Just not for me. I got the first one for cheap but i didn't enjoy it.
Re: Ex-PlayStation Boss Says Sony 'Can't Get Away' with a PS6 That Has No Disc Drive
I mean... they don't need to have a disc drive. They can have cartridges like the switch. But physical is a must.
Re: Reassigned BioWare Staff Might Not Get to Go Back to Developer
Well, let's be honest. This is what happens to every studio EA buys. It's hardly unexpected.
The death sentence was signed with the sale.
Re: Rumour: Gears of War to Make PS5 Debut with Full Crossplay in Trilogy Collection
I remember playing gears of war 2 on my 360. I was not too impressed.

Re: BioWare Downsizing as It Focuses on Next Mass Effect, Some Staff Moved to Other EA Teams
Well DA cry babies just ruined their chances at a sequel. Sucks to be them.
10 years waiting and still stuck to inquisition. Hope it was worth it.
Re: PS3's Most Bizarre Game Will Have Its Own TV Show
I played the game. finished it.
Don't remember a single thing. 😅
Wait i recall something. She did live with a ghost inside her or something? Something like that. Still don't remember the plot.
Re: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Is So Popular the Dev Can't Meet Collector's Edition Demand
This shows the importance of a good reveal.
Even if the game isn't good, it already convinced people that it is.
But, i personally will wait and see. I think it's too good to be true.
Re: Xbox Boss Wants to Beat PS6 on Hardware Capabilities, Not Necessarily Games
Good luck with that.

I dunno. They seem to be in denial regarding what to do with their hardware.
Maybe pivot to phones or something.
Re: Is Starfield Coming to PS5? 'Keeping Games Off Other Platforms Is Not the Path for Us,' Says Xbox Boss
The question is... do i even care at this point? 😅
I will give Phil one thing. He communicates with the audience.
I cannot imagine any higher up at Sony giving interviews like this.

Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Support Could Be Over Already as Patch 5 Drops on PS5
@CypherUK So did metaphor (drop in price during the end of the year) and it's touted as a success winning rpg of the year and selling 2m copies.
Like... the contrast between the narratives fkr these two games success are insane for what is a 500k sales difference.😅
Re: EA Stock Price Plummets After Dragon Age: The Veilguard, FC 25 Disappointments

Re: You May Not Need to Upgrade to PS6 for Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3, Says Producer
Good. The trilogy should be all on ps5.
Honestly i am not even certain i will be getting a PS6 at this point. I cannot say i am satisfied with the ps5 yet.
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Support Could Be Over Already as Patch 5 Drops on PS5

Re: Epic Will Gladly Commit Billions to Fortnite's Continued Dominance

Re: EA Stock Price Plummets After Dragon Age: The Veilguard, FC 25 Disappointments
It's a shame for Veilguard. It's a really fun game. I am on my second playthrough and got a third lined up. Love the game.
Just wish they patched in the blood splatter option, new game +, and more save slots.
Re: Gorgeous PS5 RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Gets Release Date
This sounds too good to be true from an indie game. I will wait for reviews.
Re: Ninja Gaiden 2 Black Remasters an Action Classic, Out Now on PS5

I have played NG2 enough times now. Maybe on sale.

Gogo Syphon filter!
Re: Reaction: Sony's Live Service Push Has Been a Disaster of Utterly Insane Proportions

Re: PS5 Tipped to Top Switch 2 Sales in the US This Year
