Timed exclusives. Exclusives are a terrible idea imo, timed or otherwise. When will gamers understand that only gamers themselves, suffer from having exclusives. But, no. I have to have exclusives on my console, it's what makes me feel special. Whatever.
ZZZZzzz Blah, blah. ZZzzzzzzz, blah, blah. Xbox, Blah,blah. PS4, blah, blah. ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz.
Good luck with that. USB 3.0, which is really now recatogarised as 3.1 ver1=5Gbps or the latest 3.1 ver2=10Gbps. Because of how that translates in operation, there's not a cat in hells chance of getting anywhere near those speeds.
If that remains the case, you can take my money, now. I like the way they talk, no BS. Looking forward to this title.
Foxtrot,
You have, along with many others, been a stalwart against Loot boxes, and I respect that. Please don't lower yourself to the Blah, Blah, debates.
MS will never integrate steam into Xbox, imo. Doesn't make business sense to have your own online store, but let consumers buy through another similar service. I use Steam myself for PC, because I have to, not because I particularly want to, but MS don't have to and won't.
Not everyone says it costs way more to make games. I don't for one. Sure, many are spending more, because they can, but that doesn't mean it necessarily has to cost more. Games may go up slightly, but that would be an upopular move, and players would simply walk away or buy used.
Really wasn't that complicated. If you use real money to purchase unkown items in loot boxes, it gambling. Nobody should be surprised at this decision. Well done and congrats to everyone who stood strong against not only the Publishers invovled, but all the nay sayers,too. However, it's not over yet, this is just the start. There's along way to go before it's law,but If this goes through Europe, I'm pretty sure US will follow, eventually.
Hmm, 'morally bankrupt'. As a fellow dinosaur, I'm sure you are aware that morals in business, have gone the same way as privacy on the internet.
Just so you know. It's not okay with everyone. My stand is clear and resolute. No MT's in games, Period. Regardless of type or number. Zero in game items should be available for purchase with real world money, either directly or indirectly. That has always been my stance. Since I realised the nature of the industry changing for the worse, I have intentionly purchased NO games with MT or loot boxes, I say intentionly, because it has happened with games where it isn't obvious that &...
Same.
Yep. Er, consoles don't need identities, they are just lumps of metal and electronics. What you actually mean imo, is that your console, is an extension of your identity. That's where this 'exclusivity' has it's foundations, I believe. Just like football and soccer teams,cars and whatever else. People like to align themselves with a group, It's what people do. That's not a judgement, just an observation. Smug people, like myself, who belong to a group who own all c...
No, I'm Spartacus!
Yeah, lot's of pots and kettles and the colour black here, me thinks.
Just my opinion, but Sea of Thieves looks, fun! The right crew of skallywags and you can plunder across the seven seas. What's not to like? Although, I'm waiting to see what they say about ingame MT's, which currently, they are refusing to discuss. Here's hoping.
I was really looking forward to this game for my X1X , but they are still refusing to talk about in game MT's. I'll wait until they release this info, before I make up my mind. Hopefully, there won't be any, because this looks like great fun game with the right crew of cutthroats to play with.
I'm none of the above. Don't generalise or try to force your opinons as facts, they are just you opinion, that's fine, and dandy to have that view,but they are not facts. See MrEnglish.
Of course, you are correct.
Personally, I glad to see great games dominate. platform is irrelevant, to great games.
First things, first. I hope Gamespot asked both psychologists if they had ever worked for a games company in relation to MT's. Next.It is clear from my limited understanding on the topics discussed here, that an element of gambling is involved.Certaimly from a psychological standpoint. This, cannot be accidental. It is also known that game developers have used the services of 'so called' psychologists when considering loot box implementations for games. (Should be ashamed of thems...
