Not arguing against this point, just the blind "saving space" argument.
It is common knowledge, but people still argue it, like Spartacus10 below.
Might have to bookmark this page to send people when they claim that they still buy physical games to save hdd space.
I get a lot of the criticism, but we also don't know how much of an exaggeration this is. Certain types of people tend to brag about how hard they (or their company) work, and while it's often true, it's usually not 100% true.
Honestly they probably made the decision to release on XONE early enough that they didn't know how lopsided this gen would be.
As much as I generally hate this sentiment (it feels like the cliche all people who turn 30 say about kids for their music/movies/etc), I struggle to explain fortnite except for kids having bad taste. Maybe I'm remembering things better than they were, but in the 90s/2000s I don't remember a single game that prioritized character costumes and animations over gameplay and got rewarded for it so much. I guess you could point to WoW as a comparison, with many in my generation just throw...
This can't be right, because a bunch of n4g comments told me Nintendo would instantly delete my saves the second my subscription lapses. Which of course is a total deal breaker, because I frequently anticipate running into situations where I don't have the 20 dollars to renew my subscription and I have to let it lapse.
That's not even factoring in all the 8 day wilderness excursions I go on where I'll somehow be able to be online to complain about the NES g...
I see what you are saying, but a "flop" for BF still means selling millions of copies on each platform in the first month. Look at Battlefront II's numbers if you don't believe me; obviously it failed significantly against expectations, but in the absolute it still sold millions of copies in the first month. Getting outsold by COD and the first new Rockstar game in five years doesn't mean they aren't going to have a far more significant user base than on 2 and 5 yea...
I'm wondering if this success will allow them to become big enough to make games more quickly, possibly on an alternating schedule of original ip/Spiderman.
That said, as much as I hate it given how fantastic 3 was, I can't see them doing another resistance game.
If anything, they were overrated. Maybe not so much the past few years, but in the 2012-2015 period. Games journalists flipped out about how great walking dead was, totally ignoring how poorly it compared to games like Heavy Rain.
Yeah. Not getting why people were expecting PSN/Xbox Live level functionality for less than half the price from the game company least associated with online play.
Yeah, options suck.
@TheUndertaker85
Interesting, I didn't realize that. I wonder how much $ that saves per console.
@AspiringProGenji
Undoubtedly. It was the first console I owned, and now I've owned every PS device since (yes, even Vita). However, I think the Nintendo classics thus far work the nostalgia angle more for several reasons:
1) Universality of Mario
2) They are older (obviously this would work to the detriment of classic versions of more recent Nintendo consoles as well, I'm just talking about NES/SNES on this)
3) PS consoles have changed le...
Yeah. Especially since the Nintendo consoles have a lot more of the "classic toy" feel; i.e. plenty of people who would never otherwise buy video games bought the NES/SNES classics just as novelties, but I see that happening a lot less here.
I get why ps3 games are a problem for BC (cell architecture, etc) but there's no good reason not to have full ps1/PS2 bc for discs on PS4, along with the release of digital classics.
I'm not sure what I had "better for free"? Btw I skipped Wii and Wii U because they were garbage, but I can't see what you are talking about there. Did those systems have some sort of robust online system I don't know about? Did Wii U have cloud saves? Obviously VC was cool, which I'd prefer to have on switch, but VC games weren't free.
I mean, I did have PSN for free on PS3, so yeah, I guess that was arguably better. But I still had to pay for...
Robbed for twenty dollars?
Pretty sure you are right about that, other than games like no man's sky/Elite dangerous. However, I don't think there's any chance they will try to replicate that.
When I see these on the main page, I like to play a game: Kotaku, Polygon, or wannabe (wannabe would be like newnormative)? I missed this time; honestly I thought it would be a wannabe since another Gawker offshoot already released basically this same post.
Lol I doubt you play a lot of games. PS4 has mandatory full installs for every game.

To be clear, only talking about PS4. This rationale applied on PS3.
