Wow. Isn’t the game industry fun! So glad we all spend hours trying to decrypt corporate contracts and mergers than we do playing games! It’s all about as fun as the average Ubisoft game so I guess it’s appropriate after all.
Last CoD I played was the last Modern Warfare 3. Though the best thing about this whole thing is that we’re one step closer to the dream of having both Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 both be a thing.
@naruball I need to prove that gaming has an impact on the environment now? Wasn’t that your argument? I was agreeing with you. I was just making the point that you can’t separate one from the other.
@naruball You can’t make an argument that digital is superior to physical because of the environmental damage of one is greater than the other. The impact is equal and if you truly care that much, you would need to stop gaming all together. The PS5 chugs energy, especially when downloading a 100gb game.
If you want to direct your rage at pointless plastic waste, go target Funko.
@Titntin Yeah it the games that are destroying the planet. Not the server farms or the continued use of fossil fuels. ***** all those people that would like a choices when buying a games for multiple valid reasons that have been repeated a hundred times each time this come up!
@Shepherd_Tallon No, Sony’s good exclusives have resulted in Microsoft buying previously third party games to be exclusive. If it Xbox made their own quality games, it wouldn’t be an issue.
If Crash 4 came out 10 years ago, this would have been a multiplayer mode on the main menu that you would play for about an hour then move onto to something else.
@PegasusActual93 wish people would stop spreading this misconception. The number of games on PS that actually do this is very small. The vast majority of games will install and run off the disc.
Why delay when you can release now and patch later? The game is gonna get dragged regardless of wether it actually works so what have they got to lose?

Re: Rumour: Immortals Fenyx Rising Sequel Canned by Ubisoft
Never bothered with the original as I assumed it would be miserable to play through like all their other games.

Re: Every Little Helps! UK Giant Tesco Will Stop Stocking Physical Video Games
@Rob_230 That was a good read, thank you.
Re: Every Little Helps! UK Giant Tesco Will Stop Stocking Physical Video Games
@naruball You're right I can’t back it up with figures.
I should have said the impact of both is concerning.
I am very curious to know how much power is used by 10 million PS5 downloading a 100gb game on new release day. I imagine it’s significant.

Re: Every Little Helps! UK Giant Tesco Will Stop Stocking Physical Video Games
@Wheatly Not that recent considering it covers the period before 2020 before the skew to 80% digital purchases that happened after the pandemic.
Re: Every Little Helps! UK Giant Tesco Will Stop Stocking Physical Video Games
@Wheatly Would love to see some stats.

@Godot25 First world problems. Love it.
Re: Every Little Helps! UK Giant Tesco Will Stop Stocking Physical Video Games
@Godot25 Oh my god. The injustice of having to put a disc in… The shame…
Re: PS5 Heist Shooter PAYDAY 3 Will Seemingly Require an Internet Connection At All Times
@Atreus97 Don’t walk off a cliff. That would be tragic.
Re: PS5 Heist Shooter PAYDAY 3 Will Seemingly Require an Internet Connection At All Times
@Atreus97 And when the servers are off on their end through no fault of your own, you’ll play the game how?

@Wheatly Only going to get worse once they stop making physical versions.
Re: Sony Wants More PS5 Exclusives from South Korea
@Shepherd_Tallon No, Sony’s good exclusives have resulted in Microsoft buying previously third party games to be exclusive. If it Xbox made their own quality games, it wouldn’t be an issue.
Re: SEGA Uninterested in Being Acquired by Sony, Microsoft
And Sony have had all the Yakuza games on PS+ Extra and Persona 5 was available for free for plus members in ps5 for ages. It means nothing.
Re: Over Half of Season Dev Scavengers Studio Laid Off
I love me some artsy indies, but this looked dull as hell and I honestly forgot it was even out.
Sorry to hear people lost their jobs but when so many games are fighting for attention, you need to really stand out.

@UltimateOtaku91 That's so they can sell the FES remake a couple of years later.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Diablo 4?

Re: THQ Nordic Is Trying to Convince Remedy to Release Alan Wake 2 Physically

Re: Alan Wake 2 Is a Digital-Only Release, $60 on PS5
I’ll use the 50 quid on two indie games that actually managed to get disc releases then.

No, the always online and battle pass did though.
Re: Horizon Forbidden West's Burning Shores DLC Is Getting Review Bombed on PS5
