Re: PS6 May Go Uncontested as Rumours of Next-Gen Xbox Cancellation Spiral

mrbone

This inevitable. Even with gamepass of 1$ promo, the sales of Xbox consoles keep going down. They might mess up xbox one launch but they did everything correctly with serie S/X, yet the sales of the new gen is even worse than the infamous Xbox one. With PS5 holding GTA 6's advertisements, Xbox sale would even get worse next year.
They do have very mighty cloud infrastratures and massive money pot, so MS will stay around in gaming scenes as publishers and cloud.

Re: Xbox U-Turn the First Step Towards Gamers Rejecting $80 Games

mrbone

The only Nintendo game which is 80$ is mario kart world, which you can easily buy with extra 50$ when purchased in bundle. The physical version was also available below rrp in multiple retails, at least in the UK. So wouldn’t call Nintendo is alone on this path. Microsoft pricing 80$ for outer world is wild as in terms of popularity of franchise, it is nowhere near to Mario.

Re: Poll: Are You Sold on Ghost of Yotei?

@Exerion76 Sure for such a long and storied gaming history, I want more examples. Parasite eve 1 and 2 difference is mostly game play type change when square was doing experimental stuf (basically adopting more traditional survival horror game which is nothing new at that time with SH and RE at the top og their popularity). RE 3 to 4 is between console generation where technical improvements allow significant improvement. RE 2 and 3 are exactly the same with reused asset. Remember RE4 over the shoulder camera angle is still widely used to this day. Don’t know about others. How about you give some modern examples too?

Re: Poll: Are You Sold on Ghost of Yotei?

People calling this more of the same are ridiculous. There is a reason it is called ghost of Yotei (as this is basically got 2). You can dislike this for any reason. But for more of the same is ridiculous. What would you realistically want more to change? There are now different weapons, and even guns. And those people can you give me one game where direct sequel changes dramatically? Don't say graphics as gone are the days of drastically different graphics between generations.

Re: Poll: Are You Disappointed by the GTA 6 Delay?

mrbone

Some people just love to moan for everything. I wonder whether they feel hurt by this delay, bugs, silence etc. When Cyberpunk was released with buggy mess, they moan that should be delayed blah blah. Now GTA 6 delayed, they moan no more interest blah blah. When TLOU 2 delayed, they moan it is announced too early, and then Sony becomes more silent about their game development, they moan no communication.

Re: Spider-Man 2's Looking Like Another PC Own Goal from Sony

mrbone

It is not just Sony's. PC gamers are well known to pirate unless it is multiplayer. Hence GTA 6 would not be launched day and date despite the Rockstar is such a big developer. Even games that were launched day and date aren't successful, like Indiana Jones. Yeah yeah there is gamepass but its number is much lower than other games.

Re: Fans Are Buying Fewer Boxed Video Games Than Ever in the US

mrbone

Convenience trumps everything. It is not like those discs last forever, in that sense you don't own it forever. Buying physical means you need to have place to store the, you need to change the disc to play another games etc. People like me who keeps moving usually don't want extra baggage. I have been entirely digital since 2016, and I have over 500 games in my library (including PS plus and some demo). Imagine where would I keep them if they are physical copies.

Re: PS Productions Plotting a Resident Evil Movie Reboot

mrbone

Netflix series was trash. Paul's films can be cheesy but entertaining and thus were successful. Welcome to Raccoon was mostly true to source except may be comical Leon. That probably showed films need some kind of twist and can't just follow games.

Re: Preview: Assassin's Creed Shadows Is the Golden Ticket Ubisoft Needs

mrbone

So if this game were badly reviewed, haters will rejoice, I told you so. If this game had great reviews, they would accuse reviewers of being woke. If this game didn’t sell (most likely no matter how the reviews turn out), they will keep saying go woke, go broke, blah blah. If this game succeeded, they will mostly stay quiet but still make accusations how gamers feed the agenda.

Re: Gaming Colossus Tencent Added to US Blacklist, Accused of Ties to Chinese Military

mrbone

@themightyant Doesn't matter. I say they are not the same, based on my own experience.
I don't want to bring politics on game site but I can't stop feeling pity whenever I see someone comment- 'oh it is the same, you are just being monitored by either US gov or CCP'. They think all gov are the same. A big No, man. No gov is perfect but believe me you haven't experienced the worst. Only then you know the difference, one;y then you would more appreciate your gov which you thought is an utter rubbish. You may think I am exagerrating but some thing, you need to experience to believe it.

Re: Gaming Colossus Tencent Added to US Blacklist, Accused of Ties to Chinese Military

mrbone

@themightyant There in lies the problem. They are not the same. You need to know first before you can say they are the same. Yes they are a bigger bully. As their neighbor, I make this claim with 100% certainty. You know all about US bullying around the world. Their media also say whatever they earn. But how much do you know about China? Prejudice? My own experience is prejudice?

Re: Gaming Colossus Tencent Added to US Blacklist, Accused of Ties to Chinese Military

mrbone

@themightyant Thats the point. All US companies ties with military are well known. Even if a few kept secret, then they will be revealed sooner or later, due to freedom of journalists. But it is totally untrue in Asia, especially in China. Everything is under control, all are brainwashed in schools and very patriotic to the extreme. A few whistleblowers are sent to camp. So you know most of US and western countries involvement in foreign affairs. China don't do that? They are even worse, a massive bully, supporting dictators. It isn’t just in the news. So yeah proof/ evidence are not reliable in Asia as they can be easily made.
How do I know? I m originally from Asia, a Chinese descent born in a neighboring country.
