“who doesnt have a PSN account now”
Over 7 billion people.
Damn. A lot of folks really want to be lord of their manor.
Meaningless stat unless you tell us how many people you know.
The raids are one of the reasons I quit Destiny. You stand in a circle and shoot at a triangle on a wall, have to restart a half dozen times, and then hope the random reward blesses you. Then you realize you aren’t’ having fun but instead are doing a lot of work for nothing. Back when Destiny was at its peak population, trophy data showed that less than 5% of players ran the raid.
Great game. It didn’t have anything special that would push it from 8/10 to 10/10. Maybe if the story elements offered up choices or if the weapons to fight hordes came sooner. A sequel could have built upon it.
“I feel bad for people who brought a series s”
Me too, which is why I constantly tell people not to buy it.
“It's what they've been conditioning ppl for years now.”
They really haven’t. Almost a year ago, Phil brought up the specter of going third party in an interview with the Kinds Funny podcast. Definitely not heard and people are definitely not conditioned to see the Xbox logo on a PlayStation game.
Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.
PS5 upgrades for PS4 games on PS+ are hit and miss. The reason is usually that publisher doesn’t want to hand out free upgrades. Sometimes they offer the upgrade upfront, sometimes they are bullied into it, and sometimes they offer it later in a special edition that Sony buys for PS+. It looks here like Bethesda’s intent was to raise the profile of Fallout 4 (and sell some DLC) so I expect we will see an update for PS+ versions soon.
Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
I would love to see accessibility change automatically based on my actual reaction times. I like that Spider-Man 2 and Ghostrunner have a slow mo modes. Let me age gracefully.
That’s Whataboutism. Sony and other game companies didn’t pay more than $80B to buy up publishers. Microsoft said in court that it wasn’t going to have redundancies and fire people. Microsoft told Xbox owners that they would have a AAA on GamePass each quarter. But here we are with Microsoft Game Studios shrinking. Consolidation doesn’t benefit the consumer, and no company has consolidated more than Microsoft.
I think Microsoft and other game publishers are letting people go because they think ai will replace them. Doesn’t matter how much profit they make. They were always going to be let go.
Cultural differences. If they knew sooner they would have pulled it sooner.
When people say 2024 is a bad year for games, they mean that their genre isn’t getting much love in 2024. And the only genre that is missing out in 2024 is the shooter. I’m glad that audiences has branched out into other ways to play games and I complained in the Xbox 360 era about every genre devolving into Call of Duty, but I am nostalgic for the glory days of shooters.
The usual beating on the site that gives out the lowest score. If the gaming review industry is to have any legitimacy, it needs harsh critics. I support a site’s right to give low scores.
Skins, in addition to being your largest organ, have been content in games for a long time. Ever heard of pre-order bonuses?
Why should I assume the other scores are right? Review inflation has gotten insane, and not all games are going to fit in the 8-10 out 10 zones.
Ah, the very helpful 7/10 from IGN. /s
Xbox isn’t a separate company from Microsoft. It’s all Microsoft.
