Out of all companies to think will be "pro consumer" you choose Microsoft..
The Division is one of those games that I enjoyed for awhile but throughout my playthrough all I could think of was "I wish this wasn't The Division". It got tiresome killing human bullet sponge gang members. It just simply made no sense. I wish it had been more sci-fi aliens or something that would have made more sense. It would have made for more game play variety as well. The gameplay loop got old very fast. I loved the world setting, the atmosphere and gameplay though.
These types of games, I just always go off and do my own thing anyway. To this day, despite however many replays I've done now, I've never once completed Skyrim, in fact, I've never even gotten my "dah" for "Fus Roh Dah". I always get too sidetracked.
This is why I have amassed thousands of games in my back catalog and will wait it out for years until the sale price hits absolute rock bottom. They want to play this game, they will get pennies on the dollar.
And yet we all know someone somewhere right about now is thinking of starting a new studio and doing the exact same thing and we'll hear about it some years down the line and we'll do this same song and dance all over again.
Woke or not, the gameplay looks like pure trash.
This is very true, my nephews grew up on these two games and whenever I introduce them a AAA game whether old or new, it's like seeing an alien try to make sense of it and then quickly lose interest in it.
It... IS an RPG..
I guess I'm never playing Ghost of yotei now unless they give it to me for PS Premium.
Dear gaming industry, stop it with the unoriginal, uninspired team based hero shooters. And the thing is, somewhere in the world right now, a team of devs have gathered and one of them just had the bright idea to start working on one and dump tens of millions of dollars into it right now and no one is there to stop them and tell them that it's a bad idea, they're just all nodding along in agreement right now. We'll hear about it in 3-4 years and we'll do this song and dance al...
I want the opposite, I want them to add full on menus for randomizers, pure solo runs and other things that'll give more challenge.
Because it was just a knee jerk reaction to Microsoft buying Zenimax/Bethesda and clearly this entire plan went no where considering Bungie was at fault for killing several games at Sony to push crap like Concord which was from a spinoff studio from former Bungie employees. What has it gained for Sony so far?
I'll never understand why they bought Bungie in the first place (especially for that price), Sony got grifted hard.
A Netflix version of RDR?... Oh boy... I can't wait... /s
I'm glad I upgraded my pc starting last year and finally getting a 5080 a few months ago. I'm set for 7-10 years.
This will be perfect timing for them to push streaming games.
We are currently in the "horse armor DLC" era of generative AI in games. Give it 10 more years and people won't care as much, give it 20 and the people who grew up with it won't even notice it and embrace it. This is how things always pan out.
Hoo boy, I can't wait to see the kind of prices hikes that are inevitably coming to everyone.
PSVR2 really should have been wireless.
At this point, I'm expecting Sony to endorse Yaoi fan-fic before they even entertain the idea of a remaster or sequel or even just a PS5 upgrade.
