Polygon:
"Are you a Batman fan? Interested in picking up Arkham Knight at launch, or preordering the game?"
Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.
RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.
It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...
Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh
One way or another, these games provoked strong reactions.
I don't think Days Gone divided fans. For the most part, gamers loved it. It was the reviewers who were divided. Self-loathing racist pieces of shit that took exception to the main character being white. This was a fantastic game, one of the best open-world games I ever played, and I've played them all.
For the most part, when it comes to Last of Us 2, incels, homophobes, and closet national socialist types didn't like it. I repeat not all, but most.
Days Gone is a great game and it was attacked by the leftist socialist people that are actually closet fascists. As a great poet once said: "Socialism is the mother of fascism."
The Order got hit from anti-Sony Xbox fans.
Out of these 3, Last of Us 2 stands above as being a work of art. It's still generating a ton conversation to this day.
Amazing gameplay, but TLOU2 had one of the worst, most convoluted and uneccessary plots I ever seen in a sequel. Terrible story and the characters were forgettable. I didn't give an F about anyone in the story.
I don't think any of these divided fans, other than LoU2. The rest were either victims of biased reviews or just generally agreed that they weren't as good as they could've been or just overall disappointing.
Batman: Arkham Knight wasn't in the best shape when it swooped onto Switch at the end of last year. Fortunately, the game has today received a monster 16GB update, one that's guaranteed to fix all of its problems, right? Well...
Another rushed port job, it's disappointing to see better looking games run/perform better than a game from 2015
Dummying down a game that is meant to run on XB1 and PS4 is going to be challenging to run on a system that is probably as powerful as a PS3. I give them a congrats for bringing it to the Switch and I hope this challenge pays off for them. As for me grabbing Arkham Knight on the Switch I am good I have the PS4 version.
Batman: Arkham Knight Still Runs Poorly On Switch Despite Massive Update........ But is still a better game than suicide squad *fixed the title*
I rarely buy at launch these past 2 generations.
Witcher 3 deserves my day 1 money, but for Arkham I'll wait for a GOTY and/or a huge discount.
I hardly ever buy games at launch anymore... There's really no reason to with single player games... The game will always be better value a later when everything is included in the package .... And, especially for shorter titles, the resale value will drop like a brick once people beat it and trade it in.
With MP games the only incentive to buy at launch is that the player base will be large... But if the games any good, it'll still have a nice sized base a month later. Not to mention it'll probably be patched to work properly...
The way games are releasing these days... It's like they don't want me to buy day 1...
When they started announcing that they were chopping up the game and spreading it throughout the various vendors as per-order incentives I immediately canceled my per-order, I'm not going to lend my dollar to this poor behavior, Instead of a dollar's worth of profit day one they'll get a penny's worth when I buy the GOTY a year from now.
If the game isn't even out yet, how can it be the latest?
You know what? Delay the game. If you're not done creating the story, then don't tell it.
