| To be honest I expected this, not just for this game but for a lot of releases this year as factories close and production lines stall. Fair enough in light of what's been happening recently. Hope things improve soon for all affected.🤗 |
| @chrismikehunt - And thats exactly why xbox will be my primary next gen. I'm glad they're not wasting resources on VR that I'm not interested in in the least. It would be like kinect all over again! I'm not saying there aren't others who wouldn't be interested in it like yourself for example, however it's a niche product at this stage and I can't see it ever gaining much traction beyond that if I'm honest. |
| @TinyKaiju - I never negged you mate, infact I gave you a +1, although I'd argue the 360 and Ps3 were incredibly evenly matched with the 360 sporting a slightly more powerful gpu while the Ps3 had a slight cpu advantage. |
| No love for consoles? |
| Physical release (sale) or download only (no-sale)? |
| The one thing I wanted to know...is the FULL game on the disc now? |
| Surprised they weren't transactions. This is activision we're talking about here. Is the FULL game on the disc now? |
| @Mwulf - I agree with most of your post until you mentioned steam. Steam IS drm. |
| @Der_tolle_Emil - If you've paid for the console and own it you can do what you bloody well like with it. You're not renting, you OWN the hardware. |
| Ah, Luke "they'll be throwing money at the screen" Smith - human excrement. |
| @super_monty - Nope. People are complaining that this FULL PRICED game has SHIT mobile like transactions in it and they are right. |
| @Counterpoint - There is no aimbot. He's talking nonsense. The singleplayer (remember that acti?) had an auto aim option (which I always disabled) but the multi never had any aim assist whatsoever. |
| @FortysixterUK - Exactly. |
| @-Kingly-? This bullshit excuse has been debunked countless times so please stop posting it. |
| @Return-of-Jafar - How about make a good game and sell it, stop gouging their customers and stop pretending that they're struggling to keep the lights on? |
| @SyruM - Yes, but they're still putting transactions in a FULL PRICED game which is still unacceptable. |

Next up: Fortnite article which explains how the dev team came up with the exact shade of colour for the sky. I realise it's your job to report the news and I'm not picking on you at all Emma, I think you do a fine job but I mean, what else could possibly be said about this game? It's worse than the Destiny coverage. I wouldn't mind so much and not read the articles but it seems to be eg's agenda to flood the site with constant non-news Fortnite articles daily while other games don't even get a mention. I'm still waiting for an Immortal Unchained review or any acknowledgement the game even exists whatsoever on this site for example. |

Damm, I was hoping for an actual proper game, and on Xbox (why no xbox version???) not an auto runner mobile type thing. On a related note I really don't get the hate/pisstaking for Bubsy. It's a great little platforming series that's never pretended to be AAA or anything else other than what it is. There are plenty of absolutely SHIT games out there that are constantly praised, yet a good game like Bubsy is ridiculed and picked on, particularly by the gaming media for no reason whatsoever. I really dont get their agenda here? |
| So, ONCE AGAIN the publisher is talking not only about the "dlc" months before the game's even out, but going into great detail on what exactly that "dlc" contains. They really do have no shame do they? They aren't even pretending it's not ripped from the "full" game and even if it wasn't they should have better morals than to try and sucker their customers into getting hyped for this "dlc" before the games even out. Release the goddam FULL game first, then a couple of months later start talking about GENUINE dlc. I don't know how in what universe this SHIT has become acceptable and anyone defending this bullshit IS the problem. |
| @Col_McCafferty - Translation "I love the game so will defend the company that made it to my last breath". |
| @Les - Exactly. And I'm willing to bet most of us haven't been forced into working 70 - 100 hour weeks while being paid only for 40 of those hours at minimum wage. |
| @shotgun44 - Many people who work 70+ hour weeks will be too exhausted and have no free time to look for other employment, attend interviews etc. They can't just leave with mortgages/bills to pay and food to put on the table either. |
| @ChromeMud - Rockstar called. They want their pr spokesperson back. |
| @Col_McCafferty - Translation "I love rockstar games so nobody should dare critise them no matter how scummy rockstar are". |
| @Col_McCafferty - All the people who made their voices heard over the xbox one launch debacle or Star Wars Battlefront 2 gambling mechanics could've kept quiet too, but thankfully they didn't thus these corporations were forced to make changes for the better. Pull your head out of your arse. |
| @Return-of-Jafar - Do you work for rockstars pr department or are you just brainwashed? |
| @soulrebel - You obviously didn't read yesterdays article about this issue on this very site. |
| @Curt580 - It's not just the hours, it's the absolutely disgusting way the workers are basically being treated without any basic human decency or workers rights. |
| I fully expect then that all the overworked, underpaid and completely unappreciated staff recieve a hefty bonus each for the destruction of their personal lives/relationships, and mental stress the appalling way they've been treated by their employers has caused. |
| @chucklepie - That doesn't mean we should just accept it. Sadly, the generation that's grown up with this kind of bullshit in their games literally don't know any better and think this is normal. |
| @Brownie-uk7 - No, it's not forcing anyone to pay extra (ontop of the money they've just PAID for this FULL PRICED game) for stuff that's been blatantly ripped out the game pre-launch to be flogged back to you. Complete pisstake by the scumbag publishers as usual. When did bullshit like this become acceptable? |
| @CinnoMan - Bullshit. You think the publishers are putting transactions in FULL PRICED games out of kindness to their customers and to help the poor little publishers keep the lights on? They're only there for profit. Wake up. |
| @XanderFish - Absolutely. It's fools like them that are happy to get fucked by EA and other publishers and then ironically thank them for it who are responsible for the sorry state our once great hobby finds itself in today. |
| @kraajkase - Paying for a FULL PRICED game that has scumbag transactions in it and rolling over and accepting it. |
| @SyruM - And how is EA "doing something right" by including transactions in a FULL PRICED game? |
| @LittleRiver - No, it most certainly is not "fine" when you've alrwady PAID for the game. Stop giving these scumbags a free pass to fuck up our hobby. |
| @gabortoth - Speak for yourself. This player is not and never will be "used" to transactions in my FULL PRICED retail games. The moment you roll over and accept this kind of shit, that's when it becomes normalised. I will never do that and will continue to call corporations out on these disgusting customer shafting practices. I emplore any self respecting gamer who loves their hobby as much as I do to do the same and not stand for this pisstaking publisher bullshit plaguing the hobby we love. |
|
So I'm supposed to be grateful that my FULL PRICED retail game still has scumbag transactions in it? Fuck off EA. |
|
@mostro - I love how anyone who has anything remotely negative to say about rockstars games is automatically accused of never having played them. Perhaps, just maybe they speak from experience? I agree with his/her point about the gaming media giving certain games/franchises a free pass every single time. Blops4, the worst cod game ever and a massive middle finger to their customers getting virtually wanked over by the gaming press is another one that springs to mind. |
| @spekkeh - That's true (although since when is metacritic a reflection of a products quality???!) but perhaps those reviewing the game are doing so by the context of the actual product rather than how it was made. I agree what rockstar are doing is beyond scummy and absolutely should be called out, but product reviews I feel need to stick to reviewing the actual product and shit like these appalling working conditions needs to be brought to light exactly how it is being done here. |
| @Brainflowers - The first paragraph where he/she insinuates it's the customers fault for rockstar treating their employees like slaves. |
| @yusep - I hope you've fully recovered now. So sad to hear what happened to you and the employees in the article. We need the gaming media to keep up the momentum, keep asking the hard questions and not let this simmer down until unions/government get involved and put a stop to this. |
| @Schiehallion - Same here. Bargain bin for me, therefore denying the scumbag publisher any profit, infact they'll actually be making a loss on my copy. |
|
Absolutely disgusting, not to mention highly illegal. The "if you don't like it, fuck off and work for tescos" manager should have been fired on the spot with no severance for speaking to a member of staff like that, elitist prick. This company needs investigating for these practices by a legal authority and there needs to be a videogames industry union. The fact that management are treating their employees like that as well as having the cheek to pay them mininal wage for being forced to work 100 hour weeks is despicable. |
| @ChiefGB - On the contrary. No resale value for what is an overly expensive game, no consumer rights, game can be taken away at a moments notice. If it's too much effort to put a disc in your console I'd say you have bigger problems. |
| C&d incoming in 3, 2, 1... |
|
@gabortoth - Oh dear, poor little EA struggling to keep the lights on. Must give them as much money as possible then and buy into their disgusting, customer shafting practices... As a customer, videogame budgets should not concern me. That's down to the publisher and devs to manage, and perhaps if they didn't spend obscene amounts of money on "celebrity" actors and marketing their budget would be a lot healthier. Besides, I have long argued that videogames cost less these days where devs don't have to spend vast amounts of time scaling down assets to run on consoles with 512mb of shared ram. |
| @Artyom1234 - So what position do you hold in EA? By the constant apologist drivel in this thread I'm guessing it's something in PR. |

As an aside I'd like to see more everyday road bikes being added to the mix. Ninja 300, Cbr500r, R3, Ninja 650, Cbr650r, hell, even an old Nsr125r or Aprilia Rs125 (my very first bike😊, unreliable as fuck but when it worked and the weather was good it was great!).
