Like I said earlier, I wouldn't even mind. There's a good selection of games on GP already, and it gives me time to play my backlog of games while allowing the games that need to sell millions of copies to make a profit a chance to succeed, a win win scenario.
If Microsoft were smart they would let the games sell for 3 months at regular price for a chance at making money, then put the games on game pass after that, like what Hollywood used to do. Even tho Microsoft is a trillion dollar company that can afford to support these companies even if they don't make a billion in it's first year, they have to listen to people that tell them to stop the support if it's not a major success.
I know right, if they were smart they would use Cod, Minecraft, and their big ips that should generate a lot of profit as their money maker, and use these smaller games or games that don't bring the big money as proof that they care about a diverse lineup. Especially if you don't advertise the game, it's hard to expect success, I'm still trying to figure out how Apex legends became successful from it's shadowdrop.
Is he woke?
It looks good, but for it to be a linear game, it should be pushing the boundaries, there's no excuse for it being an open world rpg, it shouldn't be compared to a ps4 game from 2019. This is 2024, being a next gen exclusive and even if it's not going to win the visuals awards it should strive for that.The environments do look really good tho, and if they work out the animations and models, I'll take back what i said.
They do it like it's payback for how minorities were treated in the past media. I can't think of any movies even going back as far as the 30s where minorities were viewed as the enemies just for being a minority. Infact most movies that had minorities in the past made it clear that racism is bad.
Yeah like everyone said, it should be optional. Sometimes I like to relax from the competitive mp and play a single player that's challenging but in a predictable way. I'll probably use it at times but sometimes I just want to have a soldier yell grenade 5 seconds before he throws it at you in perfect English.
Do you like the console formerly known as twitterbox series formerly known as twitter?
The Peter Jackson King Kong game was alright and still looks a generation above this even tho it was a cross gen game from the Xbox 360 launch. The more I look at it, the more I try to defend their graphics. It looks like they wanted to give it a certain art style, like cel shaded, but it just didn't come out the way they intended, idk.
There needs to be a balance between easy and hard ai. Not every game needs enemies that are as realistically difficult as a pro streamer that spends hours every day mastering every combo and memorized the map. If I wanted that competition, I would play Apex legends with randoms that are legit rookies going against pros.
It's averaging an 8.5 so it might not be the GOTG but it's going to be a game that's great to spend hours in. We don't need another Scorcese shaming people for liking stuff that's fun.
Are you asking for a single player with multiplayer? Is this 2005? After 2010 devs forgot how to make both work in the same game. The only games that have both are ips that existed before 2007, like Cod, Halo and Gears where it's expected. As much as I enjoy Apex, I hate that it became successful because the devs have no reason to look into anything else except updating with new maps, characters and weapons, . same with epic and Fortnite, no need to make new games like they used to.
This seems like something moist critical should call out, he's called out people for far less.
Halo Infinite got a lot of heat for not having split screen co-op. But that was a different situation because
1. They promised it before the game was even revealed.
2. It's a game series that couch co-op was a staple feature in and fans were rightly mad when Halo 5 missed on it, bringing them to point 1
It's been about 20 years since a good James Bond game. Not sure if its the nostalgia but the og Xbox just had banger after banger for the Bond games
This might be a deal Microsoft regrets, because it might be getting that Disney treatment, with all their flops and oversaturation of the marvel movies that don't make as much as the old ones. 10 years ago it might have been a steal. Who know, it still could be even if COD struggles just because of how much they make from mobile gaming.
Agreed, also am I the only one that gets the ads for AI girlfriend on YouTube every single time I visit. Not once do I even search for ai or girlfriend/relationship related stuff, so it shouldn't be a part of the algorithm
If we gave the power back to the business leaders that had a vision, we might get some good variety again. Get rid of the corporate zombies that only sign off if the game copies other Billion dollar games. We NEED some great FPS single player shooters that aren't just some RPG or Soulsbornelike.
It seems like maybe the past decade everything got worse. Remember when Pizza Hut was shaped like a hut? Remember when McDonald's had so much color, and playgrounds with Nintendo systems? Everything is grey and minimalist and square now because that's what corporate professional people want. I hate to say it but I wish the power went to the CEOs or atleast someone close to them that had the original vision. Shareholders are responsible for all this laziness, only caring about how much...
@Pete, speaking of movies, Microsoft should copy that business model and sell the games at $70 for 3 months and then let it hit Gamepass after those 3 months. It gives them time to let the game receive a big profit, so for that big game you've been waiting years for that you don't want spoiled, I don't mind paying the $70 a couple times a year. And for those small niche games that don't require a big budget and big profits to succeed, well Gamepass is perfect for that to see i...
