Early stages at 2020??? Really??? It is online crap, EGA color scheme, no story, copy/paste mechanics... what they were doing 5 years???? making arenas pixel by pixel (with thievery)??? unbelievable...
Rather... robbery! Game price is robbery. If you get average game lenght 70-80 hours and average movie lenght of 2 hours. Movie ticket costs about £7, game about £90 (including dlcs)
And now imagine movie as game. You don't have to buy whole theatre to watch movie. Your movie is ready on release. Your movie doesn't contain "to see this scene, buy additional ticket" and "scene is missing or broken, come back next week or month". Movies are not overwhelmed by same scenes again and again until it continues.
If you count all these cons, you would happily pay max £4 for this type of movie (missing scenes included) so games should cost around 2/3 of actual price so around £55 for whole game (dlcs included).
I'd like to see some perfect singleplayer space bug hunting. I haven't played this type of game for so looooong. ...maybe Unreal 2 was the last true single space shooter? Everything else was just mix with ancient earth (serious sam) or specific world (warhammer).
@AdamNovice Because GaaSes are trash at it's core. As same as casino or mobile games. No matter how it looks, it's purpose is always about robbing you with copy/paste mechanics.
@Majin_Deicide But what? WB are inside box, absolutely don't care what is outside, absolutely don't listen and stubbornly think right is on their side.
It is only matter of time they start to screw their own movies too.
The only thing I hate about this game is this stupid "controversy" marketing. This keeps me stone cold about product and I quietly avoid it.
I can only say I have to feel somehow with main character while playing game. Some of main protagonists are just so badly designed I just don't want to play it's game (Immortals of Avenum, Forspoken, Returnal, DA:Veilguard, Intergalactic: THP and so on...)
In light of events I buy 1-2 games per year, rest I get from PS+ monthly, I would say just "Choke yourself!" to all three companies. I'll not buy full price game anymore. Yes, I'm drop in a sea, but maybe other will do same in near future...
Balatro and Boltgun are perfect (unfortunately got them both already) Ark has been already given, so I don't understand why we get it again, that is quite dirty move from Sony.
Politics have full mouth of paper straws, electric cars and other meaningless things, but companies that are knowingly poluting our planet by making pure trash are freely allowed to do that???
I cannot get rid of feeling that more trailers I see, all levels are too dark and half of enviroment is just pure black. I don't like this style (especially Ray Tracing). Hope brightness on max and RT off will make it better...
@extragood I get it. I've seen 1 and 2 maybe 100 times, but 3 never get in our country. Then, when internet came, I just went around and didn't think about searching if there is another Robocop...
Announcing announce of announcement... we already live in hell.
So what they are doing until tommorow 11? They are sitting on chair and waiting too? Or they are cutting trailer in rush...? I'll never understand this... I have something -> I release it. I have nothing -> I'm keeping my mouth shut.
I'm bit worried it will be more "arena" fighter like Eternal. I liked simplicity of Doom 1 and 2. This Dark Age... I have feeling they are trying to add so much unnecessary stuff (Shield, Blink, lots of cutscenes...) that may damage franchise. We will see.
I'm starting to think a few years back studios have said "We are too rich. How about to waste some money somehow???". It all looks like race who will waste money more meaninglessly. Concord is still in the lead.
@Voltan Yes, it is not wise to put additional content into one patch with so called improvements. It is harder then to fix it. But better for everybody is to set back previous patch, slice'n'dice whole QA section in studio, fix problems and re-release repaired patch. On top, all these "improvements" should be optional, not fixed.

Re: Xbox Is Stepping Up Its Backwards Compatibility Efforts Again, to the Envy of PS5 Fans
When there are remasters you can run by insterting PS4 copy, WhatTheFu.. is so hard to do that with older systems???
Insert PSX, PS2 or PS3 disc, download that game, play your game from HDD while your disc work as software key???
It is super easy...

Re: Physical Game Sales See Dramatic Drop-Off in UK as Console Market Struggles
Most of games are NOT released physically, games are made to "hook players for months", games are expensive as hell.
Conclusion: Players are FORCED to spend less and players HAVE NO CHOICE to buy physical.
All of this is just pure fail of companies, not customers will.
