The origin of paid online.

Lol it definitely deserves its mention

franwex1757d ago (Edited 1757d ago )

Haha. Yep. To be fair, I feel that it was actually worth it because it kept a good minimum standard. There was horrible lag back in the day and a lot of cheating/hacking. More so than today.

PrimeVinister1757d ago (Edited 1757d ago )

That is arguable seeing as how good similar PC services are these days. The lack of cheaters on console is the closed ecosystem rather than extra effort by MS/Sony

"To be fair, I feel that it was actually worth it because it kept a good minimum standard. There was horrible lag back in the day and a lot of cheating/hacking. More so than today."

The horrible lag back then was due to peole not having the speeds needed to run games, peoples internet speeds were all over the place. Hacking is as bad today, if not worse than back then. People now have access to sophisticated hacking programmes that were nowhere near as prevalent as they are today. Anticheat software was also available way before Xbox Live and the paid online services became a thing.

I gamed online a lot from 1999 onwards and had great times playing without having issues with people cheating and no one had to pay for an online subscription.

Far Cry 5 focuses on the battle to free Hope County, Montana from the grip of The Project at Eden’s Gate cult, but its post-launch content will take gamers far beyond rural America. The Far Cry 5 Season Pass includes access to three new expansions.

In Dead Living Zombies, you’ll struggle to survive in a zombie-infested wasteland, facing off against hordes of the undead. In Hours of Darkness, you’ll trade gunfire with Vietcong fighters in Vietnam, while Lost on Mars takes you to the titular red planet to test your mettle against Martian arachnids.

slappy5083037d ago

I'm definitely going to order the gold edition!

NarooN3037d ago

A lot of people will probably pick this up just for the FC3 Classic Edition

Dirtnapstor3036d ago

FC3 was so awesome. I was totally engrossed. Good move on Ubi's part.

Yi-Long3037d ago

Already have the game (gold) on pre-order (although I want to change it from PS4 version to XBO version, cause I intent to get an XBO X this year.

Seems like it's gonna be awesome.

Omnisonne3037d ago

Thats pretty cool. A nice way to test the waters too for Ubi, see what type of themes stick. And it's refreshing for long time Far Cry fans.
