Excellent. I'm about three quarters of the way through Trails in the Sky 3.
Really?
Jesus.
But... And here's the kicker... Microsoft like this idea. Don't forget the words of Phil Spencer about how Games as a Service is the future of Microsoft.
Star Wars Battlefront is the epitome of GAAS.
Please people, see this for what it is. Not a dig at MS from a fanboy, but a warning of the way the industry is moving. You can hold a boycott on a game, but if you have invested yourself as a loyal console fan, you are going to see much, much more o...
It's not new, no, but it's only been the past two generations that started fucking over gamers. Gaming used to be fun, now it's just money sucking, the majority of games are not fun (not in a proper sense), pre-orders for broken games, pre-order incentives to make you buy those broken games early, pay the same price for a season pass as the base game for 50% of the content you got in the base game (to make the game complete)... The list goes on. The last couple of generations of g...
Wow. Check Metacritic review score by journalists... If you thought these guys played by the rules, didn't take bribes, or got some free shit for good scores, think again.
Boycott these sites along with EA and maybe we'll get our god damned hobby back.
32 years of gaming, just to be fucked over by the entire top tier of the industry.
Reviewers are not gamers these days... They're corporate yes men for the greedy publishers. ...
The ESRB and PEGI will fucking back EA though. Corrupt as the publishers themselves.
I would strike through number one on the list. I'm a huge SW fan, but won't touch this with a (pleasure)bargepole.
Without trying to be a fanboy dick, please remember that this is the definition of Games as a Service, the same ideal for gaming that Microsoft is focusing on. If you support Microsoft, just be prepared for things like this in the future.
Clickbait, satire trying for popularity. Will journalists stoop to any length for a click.
Nope. It'll be the same monetised shite as you're pushing this year.
Nier Automata never even made it? Total travesty.
Aye... Goes to show when they send a financial officer out instead of someone that knows how a game actually works.
Fuck you EA, many times over.

I have never had an issue with 60 fps either. Nioh, Dark Souls II and so on don't send my fans spinning at all, along with stuff like Horizon. Just give the console a blast with compressed air monthly.
Downvotes for facts... Typical comment section bullshit for just stating the truth. Either people who don't own and clean their Pro or just trolls.
Buy second hand. Enjoy what you can without spending a penny that goes to EA's pockets.
Hate this GaaS shit.
It's not just EA. It's Microsoft, Take Two, 2K, Activision, Warner Bros. They are all pushing games as a service and this is what the future holds if idiots keep giving them unrestricted access to the contents of their bank accounts.
Stop pre-ordering, giving these guys money before you know what you're getting on day one. Stop buying digital so you can't get refunds from online stores, and for god sake, don't buy their games or consoles until they learn...
My release day Pro is silent. You must not be cleaning it properly.
Fuck off journalist shills. You should be knocking 5 points off automatically for mictotransaction linked progression, especially ones that offer miniscule reward by just playing.
Just because you get sent a review copy, does not mean publishers are your masters. You have to remember, that while you are not paying £50 for the base game, the rest of us would be, and by ignoring that fact, you are influencing people to buy a game they will have to commit immense amounts ...
Reasons why sensible gamers need to stop pre-ordering and buying games with this nonsense in it. Not even in a sale. Buy second hand if you must, but stop lining the golden pockets of publishers who are not consumer friendly.
Don't pay them a penny. Of course, idiots with money and less sense will continue, but will less sales show that they need to stop treating us like cattle... I think so.
Shut up shill. MTs are greed in full priced gaming.
It's not a bandwagon when many gamers are infuriated by the system.
It creates the old rich vs poor division in what is supposed to be a fun pastime for most.
Part 3 is probably the the worst of the three, but that's not a bad thing... Still one of the best RPGs around.
2, I loved, but not as much as the first, as I liked the coming of age story and exploring a new world.
I really hope we get the trilogy on PS4 too.
