I didn't realize Destiny stayed so big. I thought everyone kind of burned out in the first few months because it was just the same thing over and over, and the loot system was illogical. I guess they must have fixed a lot, and people who started later had better experiences.
If they were going to do that, why wouldn't they just make a new Jedi Knight game (as I hope they will at some point)? Maybe you missed the old ones, but that isn't really the point of Battlefront. There have been tons of games focused on playing as Jedi, but Battlefront is the series to play as grunts in the big battles.
Rocket League is awesome, and a lot of people never would have played it without PS plus.
I think Mattz is a parody account.
Quantum Break could end up being competitive (critically, not commercially). Alan Wake, Remedy's previous game, was in my opinion far and away the best Xbox 360 exclusive (for single player at least), so I wouldn't be surprised if QB is great. I also wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't get the marketing it deserves.
PizzaSteve-if you were going to have the money set aside for Uncharted in March anyway, you could just pay at that time.
I don't even have a twitter, but when I saw the news I googled #colinwasright just to watch all the people saying it.
I believe you; I'm just saying it wasn't overlooked.
I love how people hate on these games, but trip over themselves to talk about how great Telltale's games are, even though those games attempt the same thing, but fail to ever match up to Heavy Rain.
Hm, I feel like a lot of sites have been talking this game up all year.
Yeah, I'm not sure why it's such a big deal. The 2013 one was only okay, and this one isn't even selling where it's available. It's not like having to wait a year for Fallout or something.
I think "a few" is right, and probably the point. People didn't care this year, and they certainly aren't going to care a year from now. Honestly, TR probably should have gone full Xbox One exclusive, as full exclusives seem more special to fans and there tends to be a perception of higher quality (which is sometimes deserved).
Zune music had a system for a while where you paid a monthly subscription to download and listen to as many songs as you wanted. Obviously, as with Spotify now, you could only keep listening as long as you kept subscribing, BUT with your subscription you also got to download ten songs per month, without DRM, to keep forever. This was the best LEGAL option at the time for music, but Apple had super cool commercials, so it died, and now we joke about Zune.
I think some people are discounting how many people have "discovered" Persona in the last few years.
Don't think the multiplatform matters too much. With a few exceptions (I.e. Dead Rising), Xbox owners just don't buy Japanese games in any kind of significant numbers (which is fine). Look at MGSV's numbers on PS v. Xbox if you don't believe me (and that game has a more Western flavor than these two will).
Do people really buy those? I mean obviously some do, but is it prevalent? Everyone is flipping out about the season pass in BF, but I always thought most people who bought shooters only ever played the original maps. But I haven't played a lot of online console shooters (more of a CS person when I feel the shooter urge).
Hm. I can see that, I guess, although I think the games unnecessarily spreading the series thin were the Acid games and the Rising game.
In general, I definitely see the idea of wanting a series to end; I felt the same way about God of War after 3 ended the story definitively, but it seems like they want to keep shoehorning prequels in anyway.
I guess I differ on MGS though, because after I played 3 I became at least as interested (if not more) in Big Boss a...
Series fatigue? I'm interested in that opinion (legimately), because I felt like MGSV was a significant departure for the series in a lot of ways, including both gameplay and story.
Poor Konami. They think Kojima is just on vacation, and now he's going behind their backs like this.
I don't know why people can't accept that Xbox owners don't buy JRPGs in large numbers (they really don't even buy that many copies of more Western-friendly Japanese games like MGS5). It doesn't mean they are bad people, just that they have different taste.
