Demand sets the price. If companies can't get $60 or £50 for new releases then they will stop charging for it. I think it's a limited view to say AAA games today are too expensive. Video game prices themselves have actually come down with the consideration of inflation, while the cost of developing and marketing them have gone up considerably. The market is bigger now to support this pricing, but games in the 80s and 90s for AAA releases were $50-$80 back then; by today's...
Is the DLC on the disc? I hadn't heard that at all.
The prices are ridiculous, but do people really think the devs get to set pricing on the DLC? It's always the publishers and they do it because people still bite. People need to stop buying useless DLC and feeding this beast.
@ ace
My thoughts exactly. I don't like the DLC scheme and think it's overpriced, but it's a pick & choose thing. People are acting like they need to buy all or nothing. If you choose not to buy any of it, maybe they won't do it like this next time or fix the model in place. Nobody is making you spend your money.
"New Frontiers" says the guy re-hashing Borderlands until he pulls an Activision and drives the franchise into the ground.
I don't think I've ever seen an article from that site that wasn't either clickbait or completely absent of logic. Often times it's both. Ridiculous, and I won't give them the traffic.
The FIFA hacks on XBL were pretty bad; MS and EA just never fessed up to it and blamed it on phishing scams. Sure. Both networks are vulnerable.
Free speech does not equate to absence of consequences. You have the right to say what you want, but it doesn't mean there aren't repercussions to what you've said. Yes, maybe the moderator was a jerk and didn't represent Valve's views, or maybe Valve is fine with it. Maybe the moderator will face discipline, but it's Valve's right to moderate their boards as they see fit. You don't like it, you have the right to complain and they have the right to tell you...
I feel no need to give kudos to someone for updating what was a half-ass job in the first place. It's amusing that this "journalist" is calling people self-righteous for not pitying him and celebrating his "integrity". I accept that gaming media today is as crooked and unprofessional as he states, but is that something that should be used as justification? The old, "everybody's doing it" excuse? Don't blame gamers or other critics for your lack of...
Agreed, but people keep falling for it, so other people keep doing it.
It's going to be a temporary price change. They'll make the price drop again in a few months to pull in the people who didn't buy during the holidays that felt like they missed out now that the price went back up. Pretty typical sales tactic. Now, if the DON'T drop it back down in a few months or so, then I'd really start to question that monkeys aren't in charge over at MS.
I doubt Crackdown 3 is hitting in 2015. We haven't seen anything of the game and we're already in 2015. I'd guess summer 2016 at the earliest with the way things have gone this gen.
Yes, looks like the Gjallarhorn judging by the cluster missiles after impact. I think it's the only rocket launcher that does that.
@ Heavy
It is a gross overstatement to call anyone at that site a journalist. It is a fan site pure and simple.
Or, you know, maybe he just didn't like the game.
Passed on this at BF for $20, but think I'll bite now!
How do you have the overall larger population on Xbox with console discrepancy about 16 to 9 mi and the majority of Destiny sales on Sony? Unless you're talking about last gen.
Lol Not. Even. Close.
I wouldn't count on PS4/X1 being over 30fps. PS4 was basically confirmed to be 1080/30.

@ 1nsomniac, that was clearly PC footage. The mere fact it was at 60fps is proof.
I'm with the author, and while we're at it, why didn't anyone tell me that everything would be on sale the day after Thanksgiving?? I wouldn't have bought all my consoles and games two weeks before if I knew that they would all be on sale. C'mon guys, a little heads up would be nice.
This is looking pretty good; the 2nd trailer shows some interesting enemies. Hopefully it won't be pay-to-win since it's releasing as F2P. Capcom's pricing models are usually pretty awful, so I'm wary.
