While I agree with your point, you do realize that air conditioning and a car radio usually ARE additional extras, right?
They're charging for monsters and heroes. Content that should be in the game itself.
Reviews haven't been too hot either.
AND it has over $130 of DLC not covered by the season pass.
I'd like a sequel to the ACTUAL Mercenaries series. Man, Playground of Destruction was brilliant.
I think he's talking more generally, or maybe the ios version has to use a publisher or something due to its payment portal.
How is "we remain absolutely committed to Godus" = "staus uncertain?"
It's exactly the opposite. They mentioned their next sprint, their finances, where they agree they went wrong, etc and how they intend to change that, and emphasised the pc version for future improvement.
couldnt this just be an acknowledgement that it's the tenth anniversary of the series?
I'll laugh if it turns out to be an HD version of the first game. Man, that was an awful game.
Pumblechook, if you'd played the build they previewed (I did, as it happens, as it did most of the other people at the expo last year and most subsequent previews that came from it) you'd realize just how awful it was. It screamed style over substance, a linear procession of moving down corridows firing at enemies with no intelligence and a lack of self-preservation, while possessing the accuracy of a Star Wars Stormtrooper. It was truly horrid.
To be honest, I've...
They do re-review games. And they changed their policy on that permanently following Battlefield. They no longer review games with heavy emphasis on multiplayer until after launch.
"welfare gamers"?
Wow, that's ridiculous stereotyping if ever I saw it.
Sadly they've already said it won't prevent them continuing to make the core games action-focused shooting galleries.
This just means I'll only purchase the occasional side game and not the core installments - REmake excepted, of course.
Personally, I think getting to the stage of public betas for a patch is jumping the shark, and just adds needless bureaucracy.
I'd much rather see games where these kind of fuckups simply don't happen in the first place, and games aren't just rushed out to meet a marketing-dictated window.
Because all that does is lead to everything crammed together in a short period of time bookended by huge dry spells - which is exactly the problem the industry ...
many user scores on metacritic are from people who have never played the game. They're even worse.
Same way that steam's user reviews are part of problem. You get examples of people having played a game for 800 hours then saying "wouldn't play it for another 800, bad game"
That's a genuine, honest-to-god user "review" on Steam, I shit you not. Their user reviews are filled with thousands like this.
At Continue Play we use scores at the moment, and have operated on a 10-point scale with 5 as the average from the start.
But, we've been discussing this kind of stuff for a while now. Scores just aren't as useful as they used to be. They're clumsy, frequently misinterpreted due to sites all having their own scale (I mean GameInformer bloody calls a 7 "average", which is ridiculous), and no longer suitable in an age where games are continuous things in a...
So in other words they reviewed it based on carefully controlled conditions and not live conditions.
Sorry, that's unacceptable.
How can they review a multiplayer game when the servers aren't even live yet?
Nice review :) Glad to know you enjoyed it as much as we did!
It's like the end of Blackadder Goes Forth, when they all wander across the trenchlines despite knowing they have absolutely no hope of surviving. It's kind of tragic, in that regard. But less sympathetic.
And the story isn't one-sided. It simply reports the facts, facts which are easily obtainable.
What you mean by "one-sided" is actually "it's not pro-gamergate".
It's neither. There's no commentary in the article.
No, it was false. No such positive coverage exists, or ever did.
Rami is a devout Muslim.
And his response proves plenty, though he neednt have bothered in the first place as all of the allegations are easily disproven with the simplest of google searches.
If GamerGate wants to be taken seriously, they need to get organized and become a legitimate movement with an official spokesperson, attempt to open a dialogue with the industry, and stop t...
Well that's the thing. Marston wasn't a nice guy, either. He was a murderer, a thief, and then he went into hiding.
Fair enough he made a go of being an honest man, but I find it hard to think of him as a good man!
As for American Sniper, well I didn't write the article and I haven't seen the film, so I can't comment. I can barely find the time to watch an hour of TV, let alone go to the movies!
