Haven't played the original yet but heard great things about it. Hope the sequel is just as good if not better.

Vegamyster2271d ago

It started off pretty rough and had a lot of growing pains after launch, in its current shape though it's quite good.

Imp0ssibl32272d ago

I call BS. They just want another 60 bucks, but plenty of games updated their engines with simple patches...

KaiPow2272d ago

At least it sounds like they're trying some new things. This very well could turn out better than going from Destiny 1 to 2.

InKnight7s2271d ago

You mean Destiny 1 to 1.2.

Cybermario2272d ago

pretty much, but at least they was not lying like Bungie did with a "ten year plan"

thekhurg2272d ago

Technically - Bungie said the Destiny franchise would be a ten year game. They did not say 10 years with a single game.

_-EDMIX-_2271d ago

Yeah you might be greatly misquoting them.

georeo2272d ago

Huh? They still have updates coming out.

_-EDMIX-_2271d ago

So what you're saying is work for free? Buddy you're going to complain about having to pay for extra content post-launch so it wouldn't surprise me that you would complain about paying for anything to be honest.

Because f*** you, give us more money

XiNatsuDragnel2272d ago

Hopefully it doesn't turn destiny

-Foxtrot2272d ago

This smells like another Destiny 2

It's going to be hyped up, people are going to say it's going to be amazing, it'll come out, be roughly the same, get decent reviews and after a few months it'll suffer with the same kind of shit the first one did.

Alexious2272d ago

I still think Anthem will be better purely due to Bioware's storytelling.

bluefox7552272d ago

It hasn't been so good in recent years.

LiamKreptic2272d ago

What dope are you smoking? Bio ware is dead...not the same writers...

Vegamyster2271d ago

They could have abandoned ship and focused all resources on making the 2nd game a long time ago, instead they spent the last couple years overhauling the mechanics & adding free content, i doubt it will be a Destiny 2 situation given everything they've learned.

OffRoadKing2271d ago

"It's going to be hyped up, people are going to say it's going to be amazing....."

killswitch802271d ago

XDefiant dev promises fix to frustrating hit reg issues, though players remain skeptical

Mark Rubin, XDefiant’s executive producer, responded to an X/Twitter post that fixes to hit reg “are something [they] are working on.” Unfortunately, it’s unclear when it will arrive, as neither Rubin nor the development team have yet to provide an actual time frame.

just_looken2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Ha man what is this the 8th time they are working on this issue?

SO the game is using division one maps/assets with some divison 2 thrown in with that we can say they never really made the maps so what have they been doing for there 6 to perhaps 8 years of dev time? must be alot of hookers/blow/parties.

It's astounding how much money they blow and this is the results. Gaming development is out of control.

just_looken1d 22h ago

Right even when ubisoft cancelled division heartland as a beta player that game was a far better state then they push with this trash of a game that is still in a beta state after 3 years of delay's.

we are so starved of any decent fps/3rd person shooters out there it seems we will take anything even though some ps2 fps games were more fun then this game in my old opinion.

FPS_D3TH2d ago

Skeptical because it was an issue with ALL the betas and still hasn’t been fixed

just_looken1d 22h ago

Its like they are using division one servers but they caught fire then were put together with barry/carols help from the janitors wing or some shit. Three years they still can not make it so the gun goes boom the guy gets hit then damage is applied.
