@11001100110zero i disagree, gears of war 4 & 5 were not only bad, but completely unnecessary, same with Halo 5. I get it from a business perspective - people have to make money right? but in terms of the series lore/authenticity/identity - gears 4 & 5 are garbage as gears of war games, and halo 5 too. Halo 4 had a good campaign and arguably could be considered necessary due to Halo 3s legendary ending, but either way both franchises wrapped up nicely and were done by the third game
@Bizzy accounts are definitely for the better, and i’m sure you can still play games as a guest. I’d rather take accounts with save data over memory cards anyday. Playing a PS2 or GC without a memory card sucked because you couldnt turn your console off. also , installs are inevitable if you want technically bigger/“next gen” games without very long load times, even PC had to do away with playing games right away and needed to eventually install them.
what we lost along the way is variety of genres, free online, unique new IPs & creativity.
@Northern_munkey i blame wi-fi users not the ps3, & games like tekken 6 were notorious for having s*** online across both console versions. gta 5 (the last online game i played on 360) was laggy on Xbox360 with long loading times. never played the ps3 version though, but i heard it was the best version at the time. a good argument against the free online back then is the psn outage, that was really bad.
Halo CE is my favorite halo campaign wise and even gameplay wise to an extent. I don’t care about anything 343/Halo Studios is doing because it’ll never be on the quality level of how Bungie handled this series 👎
I may get this game on a steep sale out of interest for Halo, but screw 343/Halo Studios
@Moonvalley2006 Don’t think that’s fair to say when Nintendo bailed out of the home console space and doubled-down on handheld , they lost permanently with the Wii U; and they’ve always got away with releasing a gen early like the switch and wii u and yet being compared to last gen consoles
but of course, Nintendo is the golden child of the industry so people just defend everything about them
Can’t believe we’re really surprised about this; $ony has been coasting this entire gen off the PS4s success & lowballing players with remasters and limited variety
@Balie3000 dammit i was just about to bring up concord, too! 😂 i actually enjoyed the multiplayer and saw potential but they made some bad decisions with it
@rjejr the old gamecube game. nintendo must have money to waste , i never would’ve thought that they’d choose to resurrect kirby air riders compared to their other dormant games
We need Midnight Club back from Rockstar so bad, it’s an absolute shame that series is so slept on now. Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition was peak street/arcade racing , no other arcade racer has ever did it better to this day.
i’m sure no fellow pushsquarians care about MP unfortunately. They’ll never know that the Master Chief Collection is a hundred times better and worth more value than the umpteenth remaster in Jank-real Engine 5
@Netret0120 It’s not good at all, i agree. Literally the best generations in gaming were when there was strong competition
Imo, what makes 7th gen the best ever was because there were compelling reasons to own all 3 console brands, but nowadays the PS5 sells itself and $ony basically has no competition in the home console space which is why the PS5 has been the worst playstation to date
Ngl tiktok is entertaining as hell. better than netflix for sure 😂
RIP to Xbox though , sure the brand MIGHT still be around but basically giving their identity and mascot to playstation is nasty work (i need to take a break from tiktok 😂)
@Lowdefal agreed. here in the states , the ps2 & GTA was much bigger than halo over here in my region. Many ppl still didn’t even know about xbox live back then or even had internet, myself included .
@D6rkLordS6t6n you never had an xbox because you didn’t care for one single game (series) on it? you missed out on some great gaming experiences back in the day with the xbox360 then
@Lukasamba where was this same energy when people bashed the PS3 that was far more valuable and worth the price relative to its time compared to the MidStation 5 Pro? Where was the blame on developers incompetence then? 🤔
Tell that to nintendo that’s been surviving off its exclusives for however long now. people seem to be able to overlook all their shortcomings and glaze them for their games, so idk about that chieftess
@Noone2025 where’s the glaze? nintendo home consoles were mediocre & underperforming consecutively since the late 90s and 21st century with a brief exception of the wii and then back to mediocrity again, until they transitioned to their handheld consoles entirely with the switch. their hand held consoles were always successes. but their home consoles have subjectively sucked.
@Cikajovazmaj nintendo wii u was garbage and flopped though, the N64 was completely dusted by the PS1, the gamecube was their lowest selling console, the wii sold great initially but was abandoned by devs and consumers alike; what kept nintendo afloat is their handheld consoles which is what theyre good at like the switch.
funny how removable batteries is a want for ps users now, just goes to show you how bad the battery in the DriftSense is. The ps3 controller didn’t need to be recharged until next year 😂 $ony needs to remove the useless touchpad when or if they ever remove batteries
@Dragoon1994 If they prefer the controller and/or the Xbox UI, M$ ecosystem & achievements. As long as preferences are a thing people will always have their reasons for choosing something over the other
