Game is beautiful trash. You have been warned.
Game is an absolute banger.
Whatever live service games they do actually release. Because they say they are all cancelled doesn’t mean they are. People often like to buy, but not be sold to. Hearing something is live service turns people off. Feels/Sounds like they will be sold to. Now how about a game that looks and FEELS regular… and maybe not specifically labeled as one, but is actually a live service? By the time you realize you’ve been supporting the live service you’re in season 17.
Live service games like Helldivers? Sure they will go on Xbox. Horizon, Gran Turismo, things like that…. Nahhh. *Unless* there is a live service Gran Turismo some day. Then yes, that will be multiplatform. Live services live and die on the people paying for features on said live service. Through DLC, perks, season passes, and advantages purchases. It only makes sense business wise. Microsoft on the other hand is like EVERYTHING can come. Concord WOULD have come on Xbox eventually. I have no d...
I mean… switch 2 pricing is staying insanely over priced so….
One of my favorite RPGs growing up was Skies of Arcadia.
At first I was thinking it seemed like a no man sky. Building the shelter to protect you from the elements, building fabricators, so on. I skipped a bit and saw them fight a robot crab or something with a spear landing the final stab in a “similar” fashion. Skipped to about 11 minutes and a floored seeing the robot animal that looked ripped from horizon being rode to a cliff. When the player leaped from the cliff from the back of the bot and popped out that floating device… that was shameless...
But… he went on stage and said his game was “F’n awesome”. You can’t be wrong with that much conviction. Can you?
My goodness…. Xbox sales are so bad that it looks like an error. The 360 outsold the Xbox one. The Xbox one is outselling the series X/S combo. Conversely the PS2 outsold everything including the PS3. PS4 however outsold PS3. PS5 will also outsell PS3 ( only like 13 million behind with PS5 selling over a million a month). Outselling PS4 is possible. Given holiday sales boost and such at this pace, PS5 will outsell PS4 if the gen last 2 1/2 to 3 more years. Even if the gen stops the sales keep...
Man I remember when they had a free movie every Saturday. My wife and I used to check if it was an oldie but goodie or simply something we hadn’t seen. Some movies were even fairly recent releases. They stopped that a WHILE ago on Xbox. It was definitely killed during the Xbox one. Hell, we even rented more movies on the Xbox than the PlayStation (or any other option) because one movie can lead to another and it’s already on. Anyway, I know this has very little to nothing to do with Xbox as t...
I’ll definitely be getting grok 2

This is NOT every company. Let’s not confuse
“Hey, this team is getting fired because we found out several breaches of company policy. We will need to rehire for each position because we still need an active full team in that position. Mandy’s team will have to do double work until it’s filled”
With
“Hey, we are not hitting the internal numbers we are supposed to be hitting behind the scenes. The ROI...
WAS my most anticipated game… until Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls was announced. Luckily that’s likely next year. Day one Yotei!
I don’t think they are following Microsoft. I think Helldivers 2 became more than a game, but a type of phenomenon. NOBODY saw this game exploding like it did. PlayStation & Pc gamers have people that never played the game using quotes from it. I have never seen a game as begged for as Helldivers AND it’s got a live service attachment. (Probably the biggest reason)
So yeah, I think this is a live service test for a game that exceeded all expectations. It’s also a way to, if it ca...
Reaper22…. Game DEVELOPERS disagree with you. It’s not even an opinion at this point. It’s a fact. It’s a fact that Netflix and streaming in general DID cause people to buy less movies. The thing is the theater experience (Like seeing Captain America pick up Thors hammer— crowd went ape 💩) cannot be replicated at home. The feeling of a whole room laughing at the same things, feeling uneasy at the same time, and a collective joy is awesome. That’s the buffer. That’s unique. PSP extra i...
People. It’s asking which is better for the INDUSTRY. PS Plus is undoubtedly better than Gamespass for the industry. 1-2 year old games that have already been through sales and markdowns to finally show up on PSP Extra which gives MORE potential revenue to games that have essentially finished their sales cycle. It does not teach consumers to NOT buy games and therefore has no real negatives outside of the die hard hold outs. Day one games are a treat. Not the norm.
Gamespa...
I’ll tell you exactly why PlayStation plus is “bad, but to a far lesser extent”
*Gamespass* gives day one games which makes people say and get used to the idea that I am not buying ANYTHING because I can get it on Gamespass under the cost of my subscription. If a game is NOT on Gamespass I’ll just play the other new games I have not finished until it is. I’m part of Microsoft and the game industries problem. I’ve had a series X day one and have bought ZERO games. I play mos...

I remember project dolphin being the GameCube and it’s Gpu was Flipper. That one was fine. As a mainstay in the arcade playing every fighting game known to man, you CANNOT forget getting yelled at by the Killer Instinct cabinet or Cruising USA. “Coming to your home in 1994 only on Nintendo ULTRA 64!” or “Killer Instinct- The future is Ultra 64!”. Everyone thought that Arcade experience was coming home baby! Arcades were huge so to play something that was that powerful at ho...
Again, a few developers have spoken honestly and explained it best. Gamepass is good for games that they have no confidence in selling well or even mediocre. Gamepass will allow people to TRY your game and you make money on that. Nowhere near a sale, but better than your game bombing or simply less than projections. Also good for games that have reached their sales peak and is almost done moving. 1 year old, maybe longer.
None of which apply to Helldivers. It’s only potential issue i...
You’re in luck. They said this will have an actual story mode and build on the characters and lore. I have played every Virtua Fighter and I don’t intend for it to stop now.
