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.
I have friends that argue that. I've never played PUBG, so I can't say. I was comparing it more generally to all other games available right now. I guess I'm thinking of the hypothetical person who is playing Octopath Traveler (haven't played this, but it's a good example of a game that's apparently great) or Dead Cells and is frustrated to constantly hear about fortnitefortnitefortnite skinsskinsdancesskinsdances. Especially when so many people pretend to hate digi...
Probably for the same reasons people hate generic-sounding Top 40 pop music; they feel like there are such better, deeper options available so it's frustrating to see so many people latch on to something so shallow and so focused on aesthetics over quality.
Battlefield 1942 had paid expansions, and it came out over 15 years ago. I hate DLC as much as the next person, but let's not pretend that this just started.
In what world was N. Sane Trilogy was a "suprise" hit? Fans have been lamenting the downturn in that series since Naughty Dog lost control of it. Barring the game being completely broken, it was obviously going to do well.
Despite the title of the article, Delsin isn't really considered a "superhero" in Infamous:SS. Yes, he has extraordinary abilities in a world in which most people don't, but that is true of the protagonist of a significant number of video games which we wouldn't classify as "superhero" games.
I can see the love for their original stuff, but I think after this success they're going to find it hard to say no to future offers from marvel.

Yeah, that's another good comparison. He keeps bringing her up even though everyone else has moved on and she's pretty much irrelevant at the moment.
Keep in mind that MS wouldn't allow crossplay with PS3 last gen:

So if next gen is more competitive and Sony would be interested, expect MS to go back to being against it. If you can sell your console based on the consumer getting to play with their friends, why would you give that up? That was one ...
@Skankinruby
It works in the same sense that if I made a joke about Xbox and RROD, it would work because people would know what I'm talking about and there are still technically some people with 360s hooked up.
So edgy with your late 90s/early 2000s burn.
If this runs well and has a logical control scheme, this could eat up a lot of time for a lot of people.
Yeah, the global market just isn't favorable to Xbox winning. MS has to thoroughly dominate in the US for it to be close overall.
I think people, especially those who got into gaming in the last ten years, forget that PlayStation dominance is the norm (consoles, not handhelds, obviously), and the 360 selling 80m+ and being ahead for the first half of the generation was the anamoly. If you only look at last gen and this gen, it can be easy to think it's a back and forth, when in reality PlayStation tends to dominate, but if they shoot themselves in both feet at the beginning of a generation, they might only sell 80m...
Hard to believe this game is coming in a little over a week; honestly it feels like I've heard nothing about it except people speculating how much Spiderman is going to destroy its sales by only being a week away.
I think (as a huge PlayStation fan who hasn't ever owned an Xbox) that it might have been just as well for them to double down on the exclusive deal with MS, assuming MS would have been willing to pay them for it. True exclusive games tend to get more buzz...
I'm there with you. I have enough games just on my PS4 that I could probably be fine for years without buying anything new. That's not even factoring in my steam account. However, I think I'm going to make time for this one; I'm encouraged by the fact that it's supposed to be about 15 hours to play the story.
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.
