I don't want to spoil it for myself.

I already know I'm going to like it. I'm not sure how much but I'd rather find out with the Final polished version.

Matt6664313d ago (Edited 4313d ago )

I would of put the throwing knife killing in one hit on that list if that was my list

Matt6664313d ago

oh look as usual fanboys disagreeing without giving a valid reason typical.

KnightRobby4313d ago

I'm absolutely loving the game!

My biggest complaint is Earth. It needs NPC's. It would be cool to see some displaced refugees selling some gear and unique characters out there in the wild, much like we saw in Borderlands. Beacons giving you missions is a bit surprising. I would think, of course, NPC's will make it in the final game.

And why free roam is a separate mode from everything else is a big mistake. I'd love to go to mission to mission (story) without exiting to The Tower or a load screen.

Loving the game though. It's addicting!

objdadon4314d ago

My only problem is that I only have 1 more week to play it! Lol!

mayberry4314d ago

Hopefully the a.i. gets some improvement. But great beta nonetheless.

nope1114313d ago

Yes. They need to be dumber. Damn captains taking cover and shit.

jk jk. The A.I. is fine.

Godmars2904314d ago

Kind of lame to list the number one issue with the game as a problem with servers. Given that one of the goals with a beta test - when they were actual and legitimate test - was to...test? Try to figure what server traffic would be like for the full game in order to manage it better. Also to world out early bugs.

Nevermind that its more about advertising now. Rather pointless advertising.

Sp1tfireXM4313d ago

this article feels like a massive troll attempt. I've played about 20 hours of the beta and only been disconnected twice.

we4204313d ago

Maybe some people are just lucky... I've been disconnect about 10 times while on missions

PinkEye4313d ago

I just started beta (I was also an Alpha tester before) and it feels very reptitive. Feels like borderlands, which would be cool if I wasn't tired of fps games.

He paid billions for Starfield. This should be the real story.

Microsoft bought all of Zenimax Media for 7 billion, while Sony paid 4 billion for Bungie. I think Microsoft got the better deal due to acquiring Fallout, ElderScrolls and Doom.

anast616d ago

This can't be true. They only bought Starfield...

InUrFoxHole616d ago

@anast
Should've thought that one out buddy, lol.

anast616d ago (Edited 616d ago )

Yeah, I thought it out. I'm not sure you did. But since we are buddy's now, you're welcome.

So you're saying that Microsoft has missed out on so many huge gaming franchise in the last 25 years from GTA exclusivity to guitar hero and destiny it's just laughable they had so many misses

Reaper22_616d ago

Yea, but they're still 100 times more wealthy than Sony. I would say it worked out well.

Gamingsince1981616d ago

Xbox is dead all that money doesn't help.

Hypertension140616d ago

What has work out well? It sure as hell had nothing to do with Xbox.

andy85616d ago

That isn't because of Xbox though. This is a gaming page, not an I get supplemented by father Windows page

Bathyj616d ago

Microsoft's money has nothing to do with Xbox.
Xbox is a money pit to them they would love to ditch but are after some ROI first.

Let's face it, Xbox is like a red headed stepchild that steals from you to buy drugs.

Hofstaderman616d ago (Edited 616d ago )

MIicrosoft is NOT XBOX. The current situation illustrates this. And Microsoft wants its ROI.

@Bathyj and daddy Satya has just force admitted Phil to rehab.

gold_drake616d ago

you know why MS has so much money, and it aint cause of the gaming xbox branch.

so lets not kid ourselves.

PhillyDonJawn616d ago

Xbox was shown to be more profitable than ps

jznrpg616d ago

@PhillyDownJawn not more profitable. More revenue with ABK acquisition but them going multiplat shows they are not making much profit

ocelot07616d ago

That's great for Xbox gamers ain't it that Microsoft are more wealthy than Sony. Is that really a argument use are using now lol?

Imagine me in my job. Arguing with a fellow security guard at another company. Hahah well the company I work for is worth £800m the one you work for is only work £600m!

Knightofelemia616d ago

Microsoft may have more money but Sony has the talented studios and the games to back up those studios.

Plus turning down Marvel too. Spiderman is only exclusive to Playstation because of that

Hedstrom616d ago

Best deal deal in gaming must be when Sony bought Insomniac for 229 million dollars. They made over 800 millions on Spiderman for the ps4 alone. Thats just crazy!

XBManiac616d ago

More in the 1.000 million now.

gold_drake616d ago

another Interview?

how is he the only one who loves the spotlight as much as he does lol

Futureshark616d ago

Let's not forget he also famously passed on Spider-man, Genshin Impact and GTA3.

However it's almost kind of cute how he can keep that sh1t-eating grin and say he's a 'no regrets' kind of guy, especially when you think how much just these 5 titles could have swung the world in Xbox's favour instead of Sonys.

How he's kept his job I don't know, he must sure be keeping Papa Nadella's shaft warm somehow.

"But, but Gamepass, he introduced that!!!"

Yes he did, and now look at Xbox, all it's exclusives are coming to Playstation now rendering the platform obsolete.

DarXyde616d ago

Honestly, with that kind of track record, you can't convince me Spencer hasn't eaten it from the back in the name of self preservation. Probably unwashed...and at least twice.

That aside, my interpretation of everything here is Xbox has been mismanaged a bit too much and Nadella came down from his throne. The way it is now, I don't believe for a minute the multiplatform move was Spencer's idea. I don't even think the acquisitions was Spencer's work. At this point, I reckon he's got as much power in his role as Hunter Biden at a Ukrainian energy company.

DivineHand125616d ago

You can never tell how things will turn out if he had said yes to those games. Xbox already has access to some great IPs, however, they hardly do anything with them or fail to deliver. It's also possible their presentation wasn't good at the time, and they made sure the next presentation was better.

I believe that part of being successful is releasing things in the right place at the right time.

Many major corporations have a story similar to passing on successful business ideas. Let us look at Sony Pictures for example. Back when Marvel went bankrupt, they had the opportunity to buy the entire Marvel for only $25 Million but turned them down. An unnamed big shot at Sony reportedly claimed that “nobody gives a shit about any of the other Marvel characters,”. They ended up taking Spiderman for $10 Million instead.

https://www.avclub.com/sony...

Fast forward to today, we can see what the Marvel brand has done for Disney. Is it possible the same success would have been possible had Sony acquired those IPs. We can't say that for sure and it is possible most of those IPs that are successful today may not have been used.
