| I wouldn't even mind putting down the money to play the single player campaign if only they allowed it to be offline: at least the Avengers game for all its flaws allowed for that. Otherwise it's just a ticking countdown towards an inevitably unplayable file when the servers are cut off. It's the feeling of having nothing to show for your money at some unspecified point in the future that is such a huge turn off to me at least. |
| @YCoCg I believe that was intended to point towards the habits of lexicon used rather than a gender war competition, but I could be wrong. 🤗 |
| A lovely farewell, but come on, Emma's puns were actually pretty great and creative a lot of the time! 😉 Here's to hopefully better times ahead wherever the fork in the road takes her and her eclectic bag of wordsmithery. 🤞 |
| @ninjatendo90 Let us not also forget the cultural cornerstones that were South Park Rally and, of course, Chef's Love Shack too!😋 |
| Here's hoping it be some sort of updated type of first person adventure like that N64 game I 'member playing with my friend from school. *Adjusts rose-tinted glasses* What's the worst that could happen? 😉 |
| Yeah 30 gig download for me on PS5, had to delete some stuff. Surprised it's only supposed to be for bugs and performance with that size though, damn. Game development be crazy! 😳🙃 |
| To be fair, it's a pretty lucrative lifestyle being a professional "cancel culture" "victim" for the modern right-wing media circus these days, so I can see why people like him are so welcoming towards it. |
| I would hesitate to add that any weaponisation of FOMO in the marketplace is unhealthy for pretty much anyone except publishers' bank accounts. It's just another dirty trick this system gleefully encourages. |
| @grassyknoll C - O - P - E |
| Is it not concerning that it's already been out a day, yet reviews are nowhere to be seen? |
| Mate, I'm always turning off film grain anyway, it's an ugly filter that gets in the way of plenty of artists' hard work, and I cannot understand the "AAA" obsession with always having it on. It doesn't improve anything. |
| Cinematic trailers. Cinematic trailers everywhere. I loved the first Perfect Dark, but the trailer ending on the line "this is just the beginning" really left a bit of a 'hackneyed-writing' flavour as a first impression unfortunately. |
| Oopsie doodles! This is a "David Cage tweets 'all lives matter' to promote his game over the BLM protests" level of failure to read the room |
| The grapple hook is a game changer, if you can find one. A mode dedicated to grapple hooks and rocket launchers would be a riot methinks! |
| This is a wise decision. That theme song during the first level just secured them a purchase from me. |
| *Cough* Gotta entice those microtransactions *Definitely not a covid cough* |
| Plot twist for the Dartmoor Agatha Christie level: The murderer was Agent 47 ALL ALONG! |
| Honestly can't say I noticed or cared while playing. But it's nice to have learnt something new today regardless! 😉 |
The video below reveals the typical experience of playing Titanfall on PC right now:I'll believe that. |
| Like Ryse: Son of Rome and The Order 18whatervydoos, this is fated as the typical rushed console launch exclusive - quickly made and paraded through the shallow waters of fancy graphics tech demo to give early adopters a sense of validation that their new machine is best boi purchase. Destined for the bargain bins of every Asda within 6 months. |
| I reckon journalists should keep asking him about the potential storage problems, so when he inevitably responds with "I've already answered this, why do you keep asking the same question?" They can say to him "We're just not hearing that." |

🤨 Excuse me whilst I repurpose this information back into the nearest sick bag. Thanks! Huh, people actually think this type of gating content behind yet more subscriptions is a good thing? Seriously? Aight, I'm out. |
| A depressed and destitute Shadow the Hedgehog reads on, wide-eyed in yearning anticipation... |
|
Ravensthorpians: "Finally some representation, hell yeah!" Ubisoft: "oh, err..." *Awkwardly tugs at collar* "About that .." |
| And yet a finely crafted open world game like Ghost of Tsushima has all of the usual cosmetic options unlockable in game with no attempts to swindle the customer for more money after they payed out for the full single-player game already. |
| @jonc24 There was also a fair bit of mishandling and bad press from Squeenix before release, including attempts at dodgy pre-order promotion, inclusion of unnecessary microtransactions, unnecessary multiplayer in a prominently single-player IP, leaks of how little faith they had in single player games and consoles, leaks of how they split the narrative in two...it goes on. Sales success/failure is not as simple as you seem to claim it is unfortunately. And with Cyberpunk generating as much hype as it has lately, there is no excuse to fall back on such lazy reasoning. |
| Would be lying if I said there wasn't any schadenfreude from reading this. It was a gross corporate orgy of execs greedily chasing bad trends, which they chose to sacrifice the conclusion of Deus Ex for. Hopefully the right lessons are learnt from this, but not holding out hope to be honest. |
| I take issue with the headline's claim. There is a new Wipeout, it's just called Pacer now instead. You could try it if interested! 😉 |
| Excellent! Now all that's left is to engage in the simple, quick and trouble-free task of purchasing one! |
| @45709 I think you may be misreading a simple musing intended as a constructive criticism for a bitter damnation. Critics are paid to dissect as it is, it's literally their job description. It didn't read to me as if the writer was that bothered by it, just that they thought it could be improved upon and may be to some people's distaste, just like when GTAV came out, many critics brought up the unlikeable actions of the protagonists while saying it wasn't a deal-breaker for them, but might push some other people away. It's just a critic thing, i see it in film reviews too, trying to speak to a variety of different people at the same time...nothing to take that harshly really. |
| Bah...come back when you can load faster than my sexy time finishes, sony! |
| How grim. |
| Wait, but...I'm already shit at the game. Would you do this to me? |
| @StealthyG4MER Tell that to the police, who's opinions are the ones we actually care about when they're the ones brandishing authority with lethal force. |
| @tehot Yes, the police do have a noticeable habit of doing those things. Well done for the acute observation. |
| Of course the UI is a game-changer...how else am i supposed to change between games? |
| Fecking. Sold. |
| Having no interest in this game, i clicked only to confirm my suspicions on who was being that subheader pun. These suspicions have now been validated as correct. 😋 |
| These really aren't good deals. Would've thought a corporation as ethically challenged as amazon would at least try to push the boat out for their self-fellating "consume here" day to actually challenge people's resolve. Isn't that usually the moral quandry? Sacrificing price for ethical consumption? Or vice versa? Bah. They're not even trying! 😋 |
| No one can see it, but i assure you i am cringing pretty badly from this information. |
| @VanBurenPhilips At this point in time, with how badly it all looks, i wouldn't be surprised to find out a significant chunck of it is just money laundering. |
| All i know about this game is through memes i've never actually seen. Curious curiousness. |
| If you don't get small groups of teens on the street asking if you wanna buy any weed, or if you can get any for them, it's not an authentic experience. |
| Paul W S Anderson wishes he could reach the lofty heights of mediocrity that is Michael Bay. |
| Should be noted that this is activision and they cannot be trusted to not add microtransactions after review periods these days. Looking at the game's legal waffle, it states "Mandatory updates may be required to play" and "offline play 'enabled'" as if it's some temporary privilege too. I sense some form of post-review monetisation for sure. |
| @EverilCorwell Especially with Activision, and especially with the modern Crash franchise. |
| This is lovely of them, a pretty cool thing to do! Makes me wish i had a PC now. Oh well. Oh, and remember, kids, if you really do want to save the NHS, don't vote Tory ever. Enjoy your day if you can! |
| Well, at least with Vampyr you know you're getting the full game, eh? (I thought it was alright tbh) |
| How is F1 2020 a "game of the generation"? It's a bloody annual franchise! Oh and whilst I'm here complaining about things that couldn't matter less, through sheer total boredom, their "Big in Japan" sale looks way more "Made in Japan" especially with one of them being The Quiet Man...was that big anywhere?? It was impressively bad. *sigh* Alright, I'm done here. Thanks for hearing me out. Continue as you were! And remember to vote! |
