Smackdown vs. Raw 2011's one-time code for online play might upset pre-owned buyers - but THQ 'doesn't care'.
Alex & Mike talk Biomutant, a game from Experiment 101/THQ Nordiq you likely have not heard of. While the AAA side of the industry tends to homogenization and imitative, cinematic presentation, “AA” games remain creative and innovative in 2021. Drawing on inspirations as varied as Dark Souls, third person shooters & kung fu cinema, Biomutant is Ratchet & Clank on acid, developed by a team of 20 people.
Remember THQ? They published such games as Avatar: The Last Airbender, Darksiders I & II, the Destroy All Humans series, Homefront, the Red Faction series, and Saint's Row 1-3. Almost as famous as their games were the THQ marketing stunts, including a Golden Wii.
PlaySation gamers are in for a treat today! Not only did Sony roll out its “Double Discount” PlayStation Store sale, but there’s also a THQ Humbe Bundle PS4 discount happening too!
Hey THQ, no one cares about bad games. There's a reason games are selling millions while you sit here and bitch about used games hurting sales. If you're going to do it then do it and watch your sales not change or go down. Yes buying a game used is a little messed up when you expect to have online access even though you never payed the developers, but no one wants to here the whining. Do something about and stop talking about it.
Smackdown??? oh, come on! Who cares about it and THQ?
while $59.99 for a game and abusive DLC practices (launch day, on-disc DLC) cheats the consumer. It seems developers want to punish those involved with the pre-owned market instead of giving the consumer incentive/value for buying new. It's a double-edged sword that they only want those to be held responsible for the end that cuts them.
My personal opinion is don't buy the games. The good thing about competition is that someone else is bound to make a game if there is a sudden demand for it. There are hundreds of games that sell over 1 million copies and that is not from used game sales. Most people sell their games so that they can get new ones. If you really want to get rid of used game sales, go after the companies who sell used games, not the gamers.
Sony is looking into online pass system so we are all going to "support" the idea of buying only new games even though before this we were raging
