I saw the writing on the wall back in 2005. When micro-trash-actions first started I knew it was only going to snowball and get worse year on year.

I also knew gamers were too stupid to understand this and let it happen by constantly supporting scummy publishers, making games worse for everyone, even people against micro-trash-actions like myself.

Now we're stuck so many live service elements in single player games, endless grinding and filler, lower ...

Crisis averted, now we can all move on.

No one mentioned the most important part. There is no territory mode like in Splatoon! That killed my interest in the game. I wanted something more than team deathmatch, but the devs didn't understand what made Splatoon so appealing.

There was potential for a Splatoon type of game on PS and PC, but it was never met.

Oh cool, from douchebag to douchebag. Don't expect anything to change.

No, she's a real Swift fan. Though I doubt she would have posted this article here herself, likely some other staffer did it for her.

I don't believe for one second this is how he intended it to be. It would have been stopped and changed before the outfit was completed if that was the case. Now that its been changed, offer us the chance to have BOTH versions, and it would stop any issues and debates regarding the subject entirely. Let us pick the version WE want, not what YOU want.

Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.

Par for Bethesda.

I'll just skip playing all those Ubi-junk games in the first place. Time saved!

Making this iOS exclusive (and subscription only!) was so freaking stupid. Perfectly encapsulates SEGA's decision making process.

The problem is that companies only head in one direction, they go forward with ever increasing budgets, and never go back, or scale down. Publishers outside of Nintendo are convinced that ever improving graphics and details are required in order to get players interested in their games.

If SpiderMan 2 had a budget of $315, then SpiderMan 3 is guaranteed to be even bigger, perhaps $400 million, and the money they make back on it will be similar to part 2, which means less pr...

Kirby is always ignored or forgotten by people, so good to see it mentioned here.
Play Kirby Canvas Curse on DS, and then play Rainbow Curse on Wii U, they're really fun and unique 'platformers' without any actual jumping.

Indeed, here's a good example, Assassin's Creed 1 had a budget of 10 million dollars. Very reasonable. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag had a budget of 100 million dollars, within the same console generation! Even though BF was released on more systems, its still such a massive leap in production costs.

So you ask why they're making their games so big, well the reason is actually because of micro-trash-actions. Even single player games are featured with in-ga...

Just 70%? The fact that the number isn't higher is not a good sign.

Being smart means not giving them your money at all. EVER. And not wasting your lifespan playing Ubi-junk games. EVER.

Giving them less money, and wasting your lifespan on their trash games at a later date is not being smart.

At this point, only dummies have any hope left for Ubi-junk games.

They likely were active in the past, but its been over a decade and have since expired.

The industry just keeps sinking further and further. I was talking about all the terrible business practices for nearly twenty years now on message boards, and people didn't believe me, they made light of what I was saying. I told them that I was going to be proven right in the end. Well here we are, game prices are increasing, while game quality is decreasing.

Clearly unfinished games, packed with micro-trash-actions out the wazoo, season passes, battle passes, random...

Mmmmm! Feels so good never supporting Ubi-junk anymore! They've turned to trash business decisions over the past decade, and I'm so over their boring game formula at this point, I'm not missing out on anything worth a damn.

Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.

Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.

Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄

Certainly a start! I love GR1 & 2! I have intentionally not gotten the Platinum Trophy in GR2 because I wanted something more to look forward to in the future.

Unless if there are credible rumors to GR3, I won't get my hopes up. I know about the upcoming GR CG movie, but I don't believe that would be enough for Sony to be motivated to fund another GR, I would love to be wrong, though!

Ape Escape 4 would be incredible. The problem is that the ...
