More sketchy live service shenanigans.

@NEStalgia It will be for the online leaderboards in the time trials mode and the ghost data.

My most requested feature is the ability to skip the endless, miserable, repetitive, villain monologues. I doubt that’s what’s happening though.

Back 4 Blood has improved a lot with the additions the dlc added. The additional acts are more varied than the main game and the proper offline mode transforms the bots into highly capable killing machines and progression is shared across both modes. Shame they axed any further development.

@rawzeku Considering how many inferior versions the Switch gets in general, I think we can let them have these two. Besides, ours has trophies and that makes it better in my eyes.

I’ve always hated these things. They seem to take over any shop that starts to sell them.

I mean, Activision agreed to sell these perks in the first place yeah? That’s where people’s anger should be directed.

Well, that’s a shame. Hope Sony didn’t waste too much money on it.

Interesting that the 2DS is still selling units. Guess you gotta get in now before they pull the plug in a few weeks.

Another classic Jim picture! Well done!

Why are we still here? Just to suffer?

They didn’t localise it originally and I can’t see them doing it now. Probably going to be Japan only

Well… I’m glad somebody got paid for their work. Presumably.

@mariomaster96 Yeah I had multiple similar situations. It really started to grate on me by the end of the game.

While it was present in GoW:R, it was way worse in Horizon FW. After coming off Elden Ring, straight onto FW, it was shocking how patronising it felt having Aloy tell you how to progress within seconds of reaching a new obstacle.

The update to the article says it’s digital libraries that are affected not physical but ok. Let’s all keep marching towards oblivion haha

I’ve read this article three times and can’t work out why it triggered a bunch pro digital hardliners to vent in the comments…

Another one bites the dust.

Wonder if this had a similar effect when the Halo show aired. Or did that help contribute to the swift decline in Halo Infinite’s popularity with how bad the show supposedly was…

@AverageGamer Thanks, forgot which massive tech company did the deed. Good to know it wasn’t all a complete waste

Surprised this is even a thing. I thought the dev was bought by Amazon and closed almost immediately.

@danlk1ng

It’s not so much backwards compatibility, more the free upgrade system I have worries about. Specifically ps4 disc to ps5 digital upgrades.

Not implying there’s anything to worry about in the short term. I can just see it being a feature that would fail once the store starts to be sunset down the line. I mean it has issues already.

Hardly pointless. It’s the best version of the game on disc. I doubt the free upgrade system will still be fully functional in 10 years time with the state of the ps3 store is anything to go by. Hoping Cyberpunk gets the same treatment once the dlc is out.

Nothing makes me want to put my wallet away quicker than hearing “Live Service” and “Battle Pass” in the same paragraph.

The upgrades seem pretty minor from what I can tell. If it was actual story content, I would say there is more reason to be upset.

I take trophy support over being able to play it portable any day of the week personally.

I guess as far as Falcom is concerned, they wrapped production on these games when they released in Japan years ago. If those versions didn’t receive the updates, then the western releases wouldn’t either. They’ve moved on to new games. The Switch version is essentially an enhanced port of a port where as we just got the port. I’m not saying it isn’t *****, but I can see why it isn’t happening.

Does this game have an upgrade path from ps4?

Theres literally too many to pick from. It’s gonna be a wild year.

@cburg This is literally the most successful Xbox has been in Japan right? That’s what I’m referring to.

Its fun seeing the Xbox doing so well.

I had an original Xbox One Pro controller and it was the biggest pile of **** I ever owned. The shoulder bumper broke after a couple of months and the rubber grips began to stretch and peel with only moderate use. The replacement also broke on the same button after a couple of weeks. It soured me on every buying anything similar again.

@NEStalgia CS4 is even longer…. Think I was around 150 hours by the time I got all the trophies.

I wanted the standard edition but it was already gone by the time I saw it. Reluctantly went for the collectors but I’ll probably sell anything in the set I’m not bothered about.

I mean, I doubt they had plans to do a sequel to Symphonia either, but they saw how popular it was and made one way later. It would make sense to reuse the engine and assets while the game is current and make another.

Cool, I’ll just not play it then. Plenty of other games to play.

Can’t say I saw any marketing for NFS before release, was there any? Saw an infinite amount of Callisto ads on YouTube in the week leading up to release.

@kenshin4ever Yeah the Xbox UI is so much better. I love how half of the home screen are adverts. How dare Sony give you the choice of which version you want to play!

I imagine people could want the PS4 trophies and that’s why their playing it.

That picture is hilarious!

Unless it’s written in a contract, his word is meaningless. Not that I care either way. I’d rather this was about Bethesda’s future games.

Would be a top move to put the Japanese sub/dub out as a download so they can still import it

I’m sure this has nothing to do with having to deal with WB and the threat of having your studio closed or sold off at a moments notice at all.

I absolutely prefer 60fps. Especially when it can be the difference between an enjoyable game and a migraine.

Let’s all laugh at an industry
That never learns anything
Tee hee hee

I have 42/50 of the current list on physical haha, I buy too many games.

This is clearly proof that his next game will be a video game adaptation of the 1998 movie Who Am I? starring Jackie Chan. Super hyped for this. 10/10. Day One.

If this has a better/less time consuming Trophy list, it’ll be a better version than PS3 by default. Probably will be the same though.

I’m all in on this game regardless. But the whole ‘nobody likes turn based combat anymore’ excuse is ridiculous. Pokémon has a new release every year and sells million each time. It’s turn based menu combat and it’s more popular than FF by miles. Like I said, I’m all in of FF16 anyway. I’m not a ‘turn based or death’ kind of guy at all, I like both. But the excuse is daft man.

Not a fire sale before Microsoft pull them from sale I hope…

Sony has more than enough talent and resources to make an fps to rival CoD. Considering CoD barely even try anymore. If the game is good enough, it’ll sell consoles on its own and it would reap all the profits from a wholly owned franchise being exclusive to the platform. I personally wouldn’t play it, because it would be live service garb that’ll degenerate into a memberberries skin factory like most modern shooters.

I miss the old model of map packs for year and then we all move on to something else but gotta get that “reoccurrant user spending” money, obviously.
