"Microtransactions Aside......."
These words should never, ever, ever be uttered when dealing with a retail release. It doesn't matter how great it may be, the loot crates are a stain beyond any forgiveness.
seniya: " Note: they changed the title. It originally said "Who cares about micro transactions Star Wars Battlefront 2's Single Player Campaign Looks Brilliant" "
Also, reading about tactics...
Earth's population teases that this game will be DOA.
Also, what is it with these Japanese companies making announcements of announcements? Like they have something so grand to unveil on the world, that we must all be warned of the mere announcement of it.
Seriously now Japan. Take your heads out of your a**es, and just get back to making some decent games.
To Konami itself, you're beyond repair, so just leave the game...
Lost me a Ubisoft, much less any loot crate / credits bulls**t. I think the last game Ubi made that I gave a rat's a** about, was likely BG&E.
Not sure how this company is still in business really. Oh wait, ya I am, plenty of morons out there to throw their money at them.
Must be nice to be completely and obliviously stupid, and be entertained by the equivalent of paint drying, all the while being siphoned for more money.
<...
It's obvious you haven't looked into it by any degree whatsoever, or you would've found plenty of "studies" that found benefits to playing video games. I'm not about to dig it up for ya, but feel free to knock yerself out in searching.
"Orc Dating Simulator?"
No no. Stupidity Check Simulator, and boy oh boy, is the stupidity meter ever maxing out with this one. You have to have complete s**t for brains to pay money for this schlock.
lol Well, any "ex-visceral" dev that has anything positive to say about EA? Ya, their opinion is pretty much invalid. Go take it in the a** at another publisher moron. Seems you're ripe for the handling.
Welcome to the PC style world, console folks. Incremental upgrades are the future for you guys now too.
Early adopters get bent. lol
Don't worry folks. In another year or 2, a new study will show video games are good for you.
It's been a teeter-totter of "studies" for the past 30 years, claiming they are good for you, no wait, they're bad for you, no no no, they're good for you, ah crap wait...............
“Seamless Multiplayer”, of which there is no such thing.
Unless of course, these guys have perfected AI to act indistinguishable from human behaviour? No? Then shove your "seamless multiplayer" up your a**es.
Good god. F**k this game already.
What? A PC game that won't use the almighty armour of justice DENUVO?
DENUVO, the protector of the weak and just?
DENUVO, the guardian which keeps dirty thieves from stealing food from the starving mouths of the CEOs and investors of these companies?
DENUVO ..... well, you get the picture.
Ya, f**k Denuvo.
Pretty pathetic when the talk of late is "commitment to single player". You know these "AAA" companies couldn't care less for single player, when this even needs to be said, as though used for positive PR.
I guess when you can't pump single player games for infinite revenue, they just aren't worth making anymore, right? What a pathetic state this hobby and market has reached.
What's even more hilariously insulting, ...
Hey.... an opinion piece that doesn't make me roll over with laughter. Nice.
OG Xbox is most definitely worth collecting for. Along with any retro system really.
Most multi-plat games from that generation looked best on Xbox though, with better resolution support, and are definitely worth having on it.
“I've never been as proud of anything I’ve ever done”
If this pile of digital schlock is the proudest thing in your life, then you have achieved absolutely nothing of value. LOL
Jesus, this thing is such a pile of worthless s**t with one goal.... to siphon money from morons.
Wow, what shocking news. I mean, the rest of us could never have deduced this, judging by EA's practices for the past 2 decades.
Such an easy concept that morons fail to understand.
Buy your game? Zero further transactions. (I won't use "micro" anymore, as there's nothing micro about them anymore)
F2P? Load in all the nickel and diming you want I guess. Your game will have the staying power of a fart in a hurricane, as flavour of the week F2P garbage gets dropped by people like a bad habit.
Got a great idea though. Make a game worth you...
Let's see here, they are conspiring to manipulate people, through dedicated hidden research techniques involving human tendencies, to spend money that they normally would never have thought of spending. I dunno about everyone else, but that sounds like a resounding YYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS SSSSSSSSS!
They're basically researching how to con people out of money.
This is really no different than the 12 year old kid, who tricks the 5 year...
Ahhh yes, another "opinion piece", another pile of intellectual vomit. Well done chap.
lol Blizzard "confirms" this, as though these "characters" are real people.
Can't we like.... deport stupid people to Mars or something, so we don't have to read dumb s**t like shit? I know there's hardly any atmosphere there, but really, who cares?
If you wanna talk about sales to grandma and grandpa who don't know any better, and are buying a toy for the grandkids, sure, switch will do fine.
If you wanna talk about a gaming device that belongs in our era and that delivers on all fronts, the switch belongs back in 2000 competing with the PS2, Xbox, and Nintendo's own Gamecube.
Goodbye Kinect, you only overstayed your welcome by....... by........ , just how long was the Kinect around again? Well, it overstayed its welcome the entire time regardless.
