I'm not arguing the value of the game pass, It has value, more for some than others. (Not so much for me, i own 60% of the games on Gamepass and of the remaining 40% , only want to play a small portion of. I have the same issue with nextflix, i own or have seen 70% of trier catalog. The remainder just has no value for me. For both of these i will sub for 1 or 2 months a year. Just to play/watch the few outliers.)
But, saying the game was free is a flat out lie. Saying...
Not free, you either paid 60$ or 11$/month for Game pass.....definitely not free. Also, would love to see ACTUAL purchase numbers for the game, NOT including People whom have started a game pass trial to try the game. Then cancelled after the free period, like myself. (the fact that i logged in once should not be included in those numbers.)
Anthem feels like they took a destiny like universe , and shoe horned it into the Monster hunter formula. Start in a SP hub, enter world, either choosing open world or a mission (Hunt in MH), tool around, back to SP hub. LOTS of loading times. Mission dependent on others. These are the reasons i no longer play MH. I hope it is different , but EVERYTHING points to this formula.
Long development times matter not, AS long as you wait to announce the title, in a reasonable time frame. Once you announce the time of release ,the time to the release becomes very, very important. If you push back releases, miss dates, and make excuses during that time. It will definitely affect sales. Im skipping crackdown 3 , just for this reason. My gut tells me its going to be a 360 era game , in terms of quality and visuals, but with massive destructible environments. HARD PASS
Let Halo keep its identity please! Halo is a tried and true shooter based on the classic formula. Battle royal is nothing but oversized free for all. The fad will fade,
And this is why you do not buy into games as a service.....If i had bought this, (got it on GwG), I would have been salty. A LOT MORE GAMES WILL BE DOING THIS! Be very picky with what games you but into, they may no be here in 2 years.
NO.NO.No..........just let us buy it ALL directly with in-game AND premium currency. Just like warframe, The ONLY game IMHO that has gotten Micro-transactions correct. RNG is not your friend, its there to make the publisher/developer money, look at casinos.
@Ubisoft About #Sam .... lets just not do this. I do not want/need/desire another poor excuse for a digital assistant. You are just burning resources.
Sure when it goes F2P .... Not paying for early acess
I like Bio-ware games. I do not like EA ....Unfortunately for bio-ware, this means i will be skipping their game, As i will ,no longer, buy anything EA branded.
A "Pre-order" is just that, ordering in advance. This is so the retailer orders enough stock to cover pre-orders and still have stock for the shelves. (these are 98% guaranteed) . You are thinking a "reservation", which reserves the 1st available from stock. (This is not a guarantee)
How about adding a sense of accomplishment, you know, for doing something hard. that not everyone can do. But all the crybabies need their participation trophies, so everything is cosmetic. No no advancement or progression....but "yay" pointless cosmetics(intense sarcasm)
i personally find the game "MEH" ... Has potential to be fun with a bunch of friends, but solo...is nightmare. Even in the alpha on 1 in 4 people use a mic, and the gameplay loop, at least for me, is to simple. This game will appeal to families tough
The biggest problem i see with destiny, And keep in mind i LOVE the game. Its player base is on a base level split in to two groups. The shooter group and the rpg group. Shooter group -- wants less grind, more repetition, more cosmetics, and a big focus on PvP. The RPG group on the other hand, wants more, varied end-game content. Hard stuff that only 3% of the whole community will complete, with the rewards that come with it. Less focus on cosmetics and more focus on gun/armor stats (I miss t...
you cannot rip-off a genre.All Video games "borrow" from other games in there genre . look at how halo,gears and cod influenced each other. Bluehole is upset that a major publisher released before them. (IMHO this 100 v all format is boring. You rarely win and their is to much toxicity.
The loop is not enjoyable for me. I will not be buying it. MANY other, way more enjoyable shooters out there. Plus, Massive amount of microtrans......Hard pass for me!
i beg to differ, MANY people struggled to reach max light . (Not Me!) But getting the exotics...at least for me, just became," whatever"....i was not missing any and i did not have to hunt them down either, i would hit max light, then drop the game till new content. I can see myself doing more of the same with this one. If they are time gating me then, it will be year 1 nightfall all over again, log in at reset do the weekly's,do the raid. and on the selves till next week.

No we wont, it will be posted here. before i wake up on the day he arrives. Like always.
lol....played all 3 class to light 400. Game looks like more of the same, not , that is a bad thing. I think it will be a commercial success but will be plagued with the same problems. (Bad Management for one)
Love the series, but this will be a wait for the "game of the year" addition purchase. I refuse to pay for mainstay characters. Fighting games should not have DLC that strips content out of previous entry's rosters
