Battlefield Bad Company 1 & 2 had pretty fun single player modes.

Sony released a whole console with a blu-ray player for a higher amount... The 360 at launch was $400, then extra for the network adapter, Live Gold, HD player and so on. By the time you paid for the entire console in DLC-like chunks, you probably paid the same or more.
So stop spouting your pish and go and polish your Master Chief helmet or something useful.
Yes, they are. For the worse.
Never wished a console manufacturer bad in my life until Microsoft released the Xbox. Bad for the consumer all round and people ate it up like chocolate... Chocolate filled with poison.
Between them and the big AAA publishers, they've ritualistically tried to kill gaming through greed. And no, making money as a business is one thing, fucking over your customers for every penny is definitely greed.
Yes, and the fact is you don't need to spend idiotic amounts of money to make a great game that sells well... Especially when you cry that you have mouths to feed while wearing an Armani suit and driving a Jag.
Funny that. Hellblade made a good whack of money for a very small team that managed to get spectacular graphics, great voice acting and a deep story, all at the price of £25 per sale.
If big AAA publishers tried making good games that didn't fuck everyone over, then maybe they'd see sales figures.
The money goes to guys in suits that are responsible for monetising every little thing in games.
Gamers have retirement to save for and mouths to feed too.
Or do you think spending unlimited amounts of money in your shitty, micro fuelled games is worth our sacrifice.
Minimum effort to push out slow progression, lootbox filled, repetitive, fetch quest shit from every AAA published game, yet you expect us to drop our drawers and throw away our hard earned to make you wealthy?
Four words. Go and fuck yourself.
We are not mindless mobile gamers.
Pass it on to greedy publishers, and ask them to either make their games free to play, or don't put micros in if they want our custom.
Thanks.
I wonder how pissed off Amy Hennig is at the shutdown.

It's Microsoft's problem. If you want to play Japanese games, buy a PS4.
MS seem to want to stick to their games as a service and most Japanese publishers can see that it's going to tank sales if they join in, handing their freedom of development to a company notorious for interfering in the way a game is handled isn't a great idea.
I wouldn't be surprised if Disney handed the Star Wars licence to another publisher after the huge fails of EAs handling this year....
We can only hope.
I get what he means, but I used to play GT for GT mode, so it's either suck up to casual gamers and forget about your old fans, or alienate the new generation?
How about catering to all? GT always had Sim and Arcade modes on previous gens, and us old bastards aren't dead and gone yet.
Failed to mention the grind for VC that really slows down progression and seems designed as if they were thinking of implementing microtransactions, much like NBA 2K18.
Also, Universe is completely buggy and online matchmaking is the same as it is every year... Ten to fifteen minutes to find a match that is a spamfest of badly made created wrestlers that exploit reversals with the stomping.
Also, the DLC has been chopped down unfairly so 2K could add the ...
Let's all try an experiment. Don;t buy any games with microtransactions, while letting the idiots that use the phrase 'You don;t have to use them' pay out of their arse for the things. See if EA, Microsoft and Warner Bros make more money from selling actual games, or a few games, subsidised by mt's.
When they come back complaining that they've had to close down another development studio because they only sold 2 million copies as opposed to 4 or 6, then ...
I'd add multiplayer, free to play, 18+ age rated games.
Just make MT lootbox games 18+... It will stop the teaching of addictive gambling mechanics to kids who should not be exposed to it, and publishers will have to trade off game sale figures for MTs.
Either use them and restrict their audience while relying on MTs to make up their losses or don't and they may get higher game sales. They should also be regulated to make sure they are not sacrificing enjoyment for monetary gain by making a game horrible to play without spe...
If the items are worth nothing, then why not just put them in the game as free unlockables then?
If the outcome is random and costs money, it's a form of gambling, and if the ESRB are saying it's okay to teach kids under 18 the mechanics of gambling for the future, they are as corrupt as the publishers.
People who disagree just like the sound of their own, toxic, wrong opinions. I know what gambling is, and lootboxes are gambling.
Right? Does no one notice how he looks so uncomfortable in jeans and a leather jacket? Guy misses his Armani.
Always looks like he's got the turtle's head on stage, he's that stiff.
Timed third party exclusives are just as bad, Phil.
Not if you play Sony exclusives. I'm not pushing this as an agenda, but Sony's studios have a good balance of storytelling and freedom. Uncharted 4 is on rails in terms of following the story, but offers different ways around a situation. Same with TLoU and I imagine God of War.
It's only a certain subset of publishers pushing for Games as a Service style games... The usual suspects. If that's their choice, fine, but gamers who have enjoyed storied games fro...
