Hopefully it isn't long. One of the worst parts of modern games is how plodding and annoying the prologue/tutorial sections are. At some point I know what a shooter/racing game/action game is, and I just want to play it, but the stupid tutorial sections end up wasting nearly an entire session.
And it only affects legitimate purchasers. The games get cracked anyway, and then the cracked version runs better than the legitimate version.
I bet there's a not insignificant number of people who are against piracy in principle who buy PC games legitimately and then also download cracked versions just so they can have a functional version of the game they paid for.
Although if they added a BR, it would filter all the types of people who would play a BR mode out of the other modes, so that's arguably a benefit.

More people have upgraded to PS5 than had upgraded to PS3 or PS4 at the same point in their lifecycles.
Basically every major game this year except FIFA has launched way bigger on PS5 than on PS4. Most of them have been 2-1 or 3-1.
Yep. People inexplicably assume that the average person who buys a PS5 is the same as the average person not upgrading from PS4. This doesn't factor in all the people whose PS4s are unplugged and gathering dust, those who use them as Netflix machines, and the tens of millions of them who only play casual games. Your bros from high school who have PS4s don't know about any new games coming out, except that COD and sports games come out every year. Meanwhile the people buying PS5s in th...
No it isn't. Games sell better on new hardware where the enthusiastic people are, not on the old hardware where your cousin Frank is still playing COD and GTA Online.
I mean presumably the delay was largely to get the singleplayer working properly, since it's apparently a pretty ambitious open world that has to run at 60 fps.
Also I've never understood the recent expectation that Halo is supposed to be a graphical showpiece. Halo 3 looked very average at the time but it wasn't an issue because everyone understood that wasn't the point of the game.
"Hey you know the worst possible way to experience games? Let's make an entire platform based only on that method."
Well obviously PS3 owners complained, but the point is, the narrative around it was "What a smart investment by MS." But anytime PlayStation does something similar, even on a much smaller scale, it's time for a slew of handwringing articles about how "anti-consumer" they are. It's like how Xbox refused allow cross-gen games in the 360 era on the grounds that they couldn't guarantee the proper experience with players on another console not using Xbox Live, but a...
Yep, I always assume these are the people who can't help themselves from using every option available to make a game easier, so they have to outsource their free will to the devs if they want a game to be more difficult lol.
Lol I love how much of a travesty it is that PlayStation was getting exclusive modes in COD but everyone celebrated MS for paying for 360 to get COD map packs earlier than PS3. Not to mention that no one criticized MS for paying to lock PS3 out of the GTA IV DLC for a year.
Lol I see what you are saying but in all likelihood it will outsell those two pretty significantly. Particularly since most people who play Halo will be getting it through Gamepass rather than by buying a copy.
That moment when you don't realize MM has been out on PS4 since November 2020 and you embarrass yourself.
Lol Mario Kart 64. That's the perfect example of nostalgia blinding people from seeing how badly a game has aged. Great at the time, but the controls are abysmal now. People ripped on Double Dash at the time, but it aged much better. Unfortunately for people my age N64 is so attached to their childhood that any criticism of any game is taken like an insult to their family honor or something.
There is that aspect of it.
I've wondered about this too. My guess is that Sony has better pipelines in place to component manufacturers and facilities to actually put the consoles together. Obviously MS has far more resources, but at least the way the current shortages have been explained to me, it isn't the case that even a company with almost unlimited cash like MS can just fix the problem by throwing money at it.
Lol Tales of Arise (not Sega, but a recent major Japanese title) sold 86% on PlayStation platforms. https://www.pushsquare.com/...
That's not even factoring in how important Switch is to Japanese publishers. Yet somehow people think it would be great for MS to buy Japanese Companies. There's a reason no one talks about Blue Drago...
