What? No voice actors?
Lol you have to love how quickly fanboys pivot from "MS isn't paying to exclude games from other platforms/services, that's something only Sony does," to "Well of course MS pays for exclusive deals, everyone does and it's a standard practice, they are running a business."
Too bad there isn't enough power left in your brain for a joke that isn't 3 years old.
Lol this makes all those "well Sony is terrible because they might buy Square Enix in the future" arguments look pretty silly.
Sigh. A lot of musicians hate Spotify and feel that it undervalues their music, but almost all of them still agree to its terms and keep releasing their music there because they know that in a world where it exists, most of them will be unable to sell their music in the old way.
Videogames are not quite to that point, but with certain prominent exceptions, publishers are faced with the prospect of not being able to sell their games on Xbox in the same quantities they used t...
The problem is that they are declining to support both technologies (FSR and DLSS) simply because the company with the inferior system paid them to not support the superior tech. I'm glad FSR exists; it's great for non-RTX cards, consoles, and Steam Deck, but I don't want its existence to preclude my use of DLSS. Very disappointing. Here's hoping someone gets a DLSS mod going pretty quickly.
Yeah this is massively disappointing. DLSS is such a good technology, unlike most gimmicks companies try to push. I understand FSR is available to a wider range of GPUs, but the game could have supported both technologies. It's frustrating to see Bethesda choose to exclude one tech and prevent a group of gamers from having the best experience simply because a company with inferior tech paid them off.
I guess mods may eventually fix this though.
Honestly it's sounding more and more like it really is a combination of a traditional EGS game and a No Man's Sky style survival game. So there will be the Elder Scrolls/Fallout style questlines in the smaller handcrafted portion of the game, then you will also have a functionally unlimited (I know it's 1000 planets but for all practical purposes anything over a few hundred is functionally more than 99% of players will ever touch) amount of planets and space to explore and survive...
Are there no mods on Xbox? Skyrim and Fallout have mods on console.
I mean, if this is the endgame (it may or may not be), they need to keep competing long enough to force Sony's hand on Gamepass. MS isn't going to cede the high end console market to Sony if they don't have the ability to get GP on Playstation.
I never would have expected fishing, but I assumed there would be land vehicles, given the scale.
No. But if you own a retail coffee chain and buy one or more of the world's main suppliers of coffee beans in order to prevent one of your competitors from being able to sell certain varieties of coffee in their stores, you might raise monopoly concerns in countries that regulate that sort of thing.
Btw, it's okay if you disagree with regulation of monopolies; you certainly wouldn't be the only one with that position.
They understand the difference, they are just pretending not to understand because they think it makes for better "gotcha" comments/tweets/etc.
If everyone who wanted Sony to go back to releasing their PS3-era series (Resistance, Killzone, Motorstorm) had actually bought those games when they launched, they never would have gone away. The problem is that Horizon Zero Dawn probably outsold all the Killzone games put together, and the same for Spiderman 2018 and the Resistance series. So those devs have no motivation to move back to those games, and neither does Sony.
I actually think reviving Motorstorm, if they cou...

I mean, unfortunately, yes. And the sad thing is that it's not just the teenagers/early 20s people ruining everything. I have friends in my age range (30s) who like me grew up on more standard style multiplayer games, but they've had their brains broken by COD and Destiny. Thanks to those games, people no longer see the point of playing a game unless they are working towards earning something, whether it is loot, guns, or leveling up. Multiplayer has be...

Unfortunately if it was a standard 2000s-style single player+ multiplayer game, the community would be whining three weeks after launch that there isn't enough support and that they sent the game out to die. People have been so trained on live service games now that they can no longer play a multiplayer game because it's fun. It has to be about the progression system, skins, characters, and changing maps.
The problem is that you can't make a multiplayer game that isn't a live service now, because if you aren't constantly churning new maps/skins/characters into your game, people will say your game is dead and that you released it and abandoned it. The community unfortunately wants games to be live service games, it just doesn't like the terms "live service" or "games as a service."
I get that people are getting ahead of themselves about Starfield, but the "I'm going to pretend Skyrim wasn't important because too many normies played it, I love Morrowind!" attitude was worn out by like 2017. We get it, you're super hardcore and you knew about cool games before the normies.
It's not about having multiple specs to target. It's about having specs as low as the Series S. Surely you understand that a PS5 Pro won't reduce the specs of the standard PS5.
The next time you are complaining about free-to-play, drm, always online games, microtransactions, unnecessary multiplayer in games that should be singleplayer, live service/Games as a service, and games being broken at launch, just remember that you also think this.
