Re: Bungie Leaders Reportedly Pitched Destiny 2 Subscription, But Got 'Vehemently' Shut Down

PaperAlien

Time for Sony to step in and fully gut the poisonous leadership, its the only way for this company to survive. Lets face it, Marathon is going to bomb, not on a Concord level, but there is not a single path in front of them that will be the success they hope / need it to be.

Launching an underbaked PVP only extraction shooter, with lack of features that's available in every game of its type, the poorly received beta, the stolen art assets, this game is dead before its even begun. If they wanted to relaunch Marathon, a modern Boomer Shooter was right there in front of them, they could've plopped in a PVP mode as well.

Lets not talk about Destiny, im yet another BETAD1toD2 Veteran, The Final Shape was my send off, and thankfully it was fantastic. They shoulda kept D2 on life support for a couple years until a D3 was ready to go, launching a whole new era while stil in D2 is bonkers, it makes no sense, this was the perfect chance to change and start fresh, but Bungie Bungled that as well.

Re: Beloved Ex-PlayStation Boss Believes $70, $80 Games Are a Steal

Gonna have to hard disagree on this, when most games are releasing at that price are launched in a broken state, takes months of patching, then we have MXs and DLCs on top of all it.

Ive spent countless hours and had more fun in games like Balatro, Vampire Survivors, Stardew, No Mans Sky than any big AAA game this gen

Re: PS Plus, Xbox Game Pass Are Not the Future of Gaming, Says US Analyst

If it wasnt for the fact that you have to pay to play online with your friends, I would have never subscribed to anything, now my Destiny 2 days are over with, and prices going up and up, im glad ive made the choice not to renew next week.

I'd rather put the money saved into buying actual games I want instead of paying for games im never gonna play

Re: Poll: Are You Planning to Buy Bungie's Marathon?

PaperAlien

Looks cool, and If it was free to play / try I would have given it a bash, but pvp extraction games are not my thing, so I wont be paying & playing! Hope it does well for them with the target audience they're aiming for though!

Re: Sony Japan Studio Closed Because AA Market 'Disappeared', Says Shu Yoshida

PaperAlien

I just... dont believe this? The focus on AAA games only needs to die and quickly. Perhaps as a market leader Sony could have led the way and made more effort in developing better AA games with their Studios instead of chasing live service vaporware and over bloated AAA games.

If as they said, Indies replaced AA then why didnt they get Japan Studios developing fantastic indie games as a way of reacting to the market instead of shuttering a studio and wasting all that talent.

Re: Gummy Bears Details Leak, Bungie's MOBA Taken Under Sony's Wing

PaperAlien

Think people are getting tooo caught up on the younger audience thing.. Dont really think Lo-fi graphics = children. At least it sounds interesting enough on paper and are least trying something a little bit different to their usual games, thats what people want right? Devs taking chances, something new for them etc
