I am in Bolivia destabilizating the Santa Blanca Cartel, gathering intel on El Emisario a cocaine producer and grandson of the highest ranking Bolivian in the cartel. Lol. I am playing TC Ghost Recon Wildlands it's pretty good, going through some of my back catalogue before playing some of my newer games.
He is stating the obvious here. I like both but I find it odd why people complain about open world game's being a time sink, it's like moaning that £100 gold steak has too much meat on it. Why buy an open world game if you have that view, it makes no sense to me.
I own Code Vein I just haven't played it yet, I have tons of game's I still need to play. Battlefield I'll try I wasn't going to buy it seeing as they took out things that made Battlefield Battlefield, but thankfully they've added the classes back. I'll try MD at some point not really big into Minecraft it's one game I haven't played based on the look of it.
Definitely remake them I will buy them, I brought Dead Space, DS2 & DS3 for my XSX on BC sometime again now on my XboxOneX. What is considered as a downgrade back when Dead Space 3 come out is still far better than some games today.
$100 million apparently. They said they couldn't make a modern Saints Row game because of the "outdated" comedy, yet oddly they remastered Saints Row 3 with same the "outdated" comedy contradicting themselves.
Good point. She actually gets harassment by people who actually turn up at where she lives & much worse by ironically people who "care" about misogyny.
Harassment is when someone continually contact's you, I wouldn't call a one off message on a public forum "harassment". I also don't understand why they give these people the time of day, out of all the messages these people get this is the commet they focus on. I mean who cares what someone you've never met think's, it's the internet.
It's a well knowing fact COD dictates where people play & what console they buy because they used to say it also what my friends are buying, it always has since the Xbox 360. All the casuals that buy COD hence the numbers COD pulls in in sales, so yes you want COD on your platform or risk losing players.
I am definitely picking up Callisto Protocol at some point. For me Dead Space like the phenomenal BioShock is a classic especially at the time, and like he said stood the test of time. BioShock like DS should have been remade for the PS5 instead of a remaster, I love DS and definitely picking up DS soon too
Part of the selling point for me is obviously the back triggers but being able to swap out & replace the stick modules £20.I already had drift on one of the stick on the DaulSense luckily I got my PS5 with two DaulSenses, I would rather spend £20 on a stick modules than £59.99 everytime I get drift.
Apparently it's already the #1 selling game on Steam and PS5, #2 on Xbox according to Forbes. Hopefully it's longer, wonder if it'll have a NG+? The game looks really good from what I've seen of it.
It's quite staggering the ignorance people have regarding history. "Oppression" in a first world country, give me a break. Westerns are some of the most privileged people on the planet, but you already know that.
"woke reviewers who couldn’t handle a gruff white biker looking at his date’s ass”.
This is true both IGN & Kotaku complained about the main protagonist being white & male, you know straight away what type of people you are dealing with. People who demean people based solely on their skin colour, also calling non-white's certain racial slurs just because they don't hold the same views as them. Mainstream reviewers don't really have the credibility they once had, it wasn't really the mainstream reviewers. it was a buggy game at launch Dev's need to understand this will damage your day one sales more than anything else especially now with game's being £70 a pop.
This should be against the law as must customers will assume at the minimum the campaign is on the disc, where in reality nothing is on the disc. The gaming industry should have to state by law wether the game is on the disc, & state it on the box itself & made clear you have to download the game as the disc is a unlock key.
He is talking about the cloud. Even when the infrastructure is there in a decade or two I don't think it'll take off like they are hoping, as dedicated hardware will always be better.
I own RDR on PS3 & it's DLC, RDR was never playable on the PS4/PS5 it was only ever a streamable game. Streaming 3rd party game's on a service does not guarantee the game will always be streamable on any service. As for backwards compatibility there is a reason Microsoft no longer does it and that's licensing, also not every game support's HDR/Frame Rate Boost sadly on XSX. If you see a backwards compatibility game you want on Xbox you better buy it, as BC are not guaranteed to stay a BC game to buy. Example Metal Gear Soild HD Collection you could buy I bought it, it's no longer buyable only playable if you own the disc of the game. These games are only playable on streaming services or to buy through BC if the publisher wants it to be available. Also people knew the PS4 wasn't BC with PS3 games, if you still wanted them games why sell them & the PS3? I never sell my consoles or game's to only get the fraction of the price back no thanks.
Xbox elite series 2 is around £160 it makes sense the Dualsenseis more expensive being able to easily swap out the thumbsticks and other features. The Xbox elite series 2 only allows you to swap out the thumbstick toppers.
Most people now have smart 4K TVs with dozens of app like Now, Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV etc, there is zero reason to be using anything else watch films, TV on apart from your TV one device using electric. Console's are for games in my opinion.
This is why I have zero problem's with Sony's deals because Microsoft has always done deals like this too, people like to have selective memories around business deals.
Why are console players having to play with PC players anyway? It makes no sense. As for aim assist all game's should have the option to turn it off, a few games have this option. I hate aim assist it can get you killed in FPS, you are aiming at someone someone else runs past in front of you the aim sticks to them horrible.
2K has been hacked with people information now being sold online, these companies take zero accountability putting their customers at risk from scams/hacks etc with their info being in the hands of God knows who. I'll just not buy COD there is no way I am giving away that sort of info just to play COD.
It looks like there are four to me. Two on the back & what looks like two on the bottom especially the way they're shaped. Otherwise what them two things sticking out on the bottom for?
So food has increased in price you're bills too. Which will only get worse when inflation is expected to hit 18% in 2023. You honestly believed luxury items would not increase price at some point, as everything becames more expensive? The likely hood other companies will follow suit is very high, especially as time goes on.
"Meh, goes both ways, we have had Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo, both xbox owned games, plus we also had Physconauts 2"
This argument doesn't really make any sense as Microsoft had nothing to do with these deals, they didn't own any of them studios at the time when the deals went through. Microsoft had no say in the matter.
It shouldn't surprise you really one it's Twitter where the news is made. Two people believe absolutely anything these days, especially cannot control their emotions with zero critical thinking skills.
The PS3/360 was an end to an era, something you'll never see again in the console market. What's funny about the PS3 people are paying just under £500 for the PS5/XSX. The PS3 was at the time totally worth the money Sony ask for it at the time, the problem for the PS3 that it was probably too exotic. Sony lost $306.86 on every console sold, between both Sony & Microsoft they lost $8 billion with Sony lossing the most out of the two. It took years before they made a profit, hence both the PS4 & XboxOne.
I don't know why they are even on the store, it's not like Sony gains anything from having them on the store when they sell for something like £0.30p. they need better quality control, simple as that. This will likely give all indie games a bad look in the end.
I thought this was obvious that this remake was also releasing on PC. Releasing on console first to go after the whales, then to release cheaper on PC. Console players have always been abused when it comes to charging more compared to PC, also you think PC are being charged for remasters?
To me this is stupid. You must be on drugs to believe any company is going to have free updates like a live service game. They are definitely not going to make story DLC when they can make more money from microtransactions, Microsoft bragged about this with Halo 5 hence Free 2 Play Halo Infinite. Certain gamer's have done this to themselves. You obviously didn't buy enough microtransactions within RDO hence why they are not supporting the game they obviously don't veiw it as worth it.
So when did Sony announce they would be releasing information on GOW on the 30th? As far as I know Sony hasn't said anything about announcements, so my obvious question is how has Sony "delayed" anything?
Neither Xbox or Sony has ever done anything like this on game announcements, obviously until now. Timed game exclusives are a totally different thing.
And for those that say otherwise & give no example you are full of dog crap, and you know it. I own all the consoles PS4 Pro/PS5, XboxOne X/Xbox Series X & Switch, and follow them all. Not even Nintendo does it
So you are paying for a full price game with premium cosmetic items as well as full story driven expansions you'll obviously have to pay for. So what justifies the premium cosmetics in a full priced game? Apart from greed!
I brought the "full" PS3 & PS4 remaster versions that had multiplayer, there is just no way I am paying again. Not only that they've stripped out the multiplayer, you basically paying more money for less content.
I definitely see Xbox could out sell PlayStation this generation, I am not saying they will I am saying they could. The graphic update looks great and will look better when you are actually playing it, but at the end of the day it's about optics. People will have paid for the original PS3 version & brought the PS4 remaster, at a time when Microsoft (Gears 5) & other companies like capcom are giving their customers free upgrades for owning the original the optics don't look good for Sony.
I don't care what anyone says I miss the days of E3. State Of Play could be really good but then again it might not, I hope I am wrong & announce some games or show off gameplay.
The name speaks for itself "PS Plus Essential". Meaning it's an essential service if you want to play online, the "free" game's are a bonus. Even if all four essential games are on Extra/ Primium, 1) you would have to pay extra to upgrade. 2) you are definitely not subing to Extra just for them four games. 3) People subing to Primium are subing for PS1/2/3 game's.
I honestly don't get the complaints. It would be like me subing to Extra then complaining I own most of the game's.
If a company wants to me to pay them money for game's I already own you better add extra value to them said game's.
Both GamePass & Sonys or any other sub service just isn't worth it if you already own or buy new game's. But if you don't buy many game's or haven't owned past gen consoles, there is definitely value for money. Basically it's for the casual gaming market.
Obviously COVID had a massive impact, but with the war in Ukraine is going to have a big impact too. Both Russia & Ukraine are big global producers of Neon Gas, something like 70% of Neon Gas comes from these two countries. And without Neon Gas you are not making any semi-conductors.
