Exactly.
This is just nonsense. Sony don't pick and choose what gets released on the store, anything that fits their platform guidelines can be released on their platform, provided they pay the necessary fees, and that also means they get to have their games trailer on the official PlayStation youtube channel. It's not some grand plan from Sony's marketing team to advertise these types of low budget games to players.
Besides, this game is not a problem. If people like th...
Not true at all. The games have always been based on fantasy. In the last game you fight all kind of wacky shit, I think there's even a tribe of blue people or something stupid. AC has never been historically accurate, they have had historical modes, but and the fantasy stories have their respective historical settings, but they've never been accurate with their narrative or content.
It's up there with MGSV for sure!
Yeah I think an 8.5 would be very fair.
I really liked it personally. It's not a 10/10 for me because I think the story isn't paced that well and some of the dialogue is a bit dull but generally it's entertaining and the story does build into something brilliant. I'd also argue that the combat is some of the best for this type of game, much more enjoyable for me than something like Dragons Dogma. They did a really good job there. Almost a shame it didn't have multiplayer in the end.
That depends on how narrow you take your view of 'need'. In Maslow's heirachy of needs, games would overlap with the 'self-actualisation', 'esteem' and 'belonging' needs.
If we only prioritised physiological and safety related needs, then we could exist in a dark room, fed through a tube. I don't think many people would consider that existence 'living' at all. It always gets pretty silly when people talk about games, art and e...
I mean it's required developers to go back to an otherwise single player game, reanimate and retexture everything, improve the lighting and so forth. It's a decent amount of labour and it was performed by Nixxes, another studio rather than Guerilla.
Ultimately, if they weren't selling it why would they take the time to go back to it and commit all this work? They wouldn't. The upgrade is only £10 and if you don't see the value in that because the d...
Except it's a mobile game so that 'journey' will just be clicking points on map screen, being teleported into combat instances and either grinding or paying to rank up your heroes in order to pass through the game.
Always listed this since the first blog post.
I'm not calling anyone dumb but you're right. Sony can't ignore GaaS. These singleplayer games they release are all good and well, but these gas games have a stranglehold on player attention and the singleplayer space is getting proportionally smaller, each year.
If Sony don't find ways to generate that ongoing revenue and ultimately, captivate players with long-term connections to games they want to come back to, monthly, weekly, daily, there will be nothi...
I mean, the title of the game doesn't have a lot to do with how it sells. The next game is not going to change things but Zampella course change the course of the series towards something that's more on track with that those big player numbers.
With that said, battlefield fans might not want that. To acquire the wider audience they would probably need to betray a lot of the series design principles. Call of Duty is as popular as it is because it is as simple as it ...
I mean... I think that's obvious no? All games are cultural artifacts. So you cannot produce something independent of its culture. Yes, obviously a studio that produces an unsuccessful game, likely has cultural problems that contributed to why they produced the thing they did.
It's be fair. The stand doesn't do anything. If you want a stand it's just a vanity item. An extra $80 seems fair but the stand is pure aesthetic and it doesn't seem fair to add that to the price as a requirement.
That's pretty standard for live service games. XDefiant has almost the exact same score, The First Decendant (which has a decent audience of people playing it) has around 50.
Honestly, I don't know why that is. But I think a lot of it is that reviewers just don't like that type of game. If you're suddenly thrown into a live service multiplayer game that you don't want to play and you're asked to review it, I think the odds are that you're not go...
I think it's fun personally, I really like it.
I don't think anyone has written anything like this.
Almost certain that never happened. Work in video game consultancy and there's 0 chance that SBI asked them for 7 million like the headlines have claimed. Just more right wing rhetoric that exists to strengthen the idea that companies like SBI are 'ruining games', seemingly by not only making recommendations to change their writing but by consuming an excessive proportion of their budget too.
To me it seems very unlikely that working with a company like SBI wou...
How is it possible to leave politics out of the review process when everything is political? Cultural artifacts and the manner in which they are produced is an inherently political. The decisions that go into art, are political.
People are just upset when the politics of those games, don't align with their politics. This is when they label those as an 'agenda'.
You can gameshare like that on Switch though. In the same way that you can on PS3/4/5. Is that going away in place of this?
