*$16/month
FucKonami.
….split screen for an RPG?
Her shirt is red too…
Don’t we have Live available right now?
That ending is NOT perfect… nor are the enemies introduced in chapter 3.
That one boss though is pretty perfect…
Agreed, I usually prioritize AAAs first, but I do try to appreciate a good AA game. Sometimes a lower budget game can have a bigger impact on a player than one with a huge budget, and new studios should naturally start with that goal.
I just get the impression that articles like these are paid for by M$ to make it seem like Sony’s game output is unreasonable to compete with…. But Sony’s success with AAAs seems evidence of the precise opposite.
I think M$...
I was a huge fan of Dead Space, but this game never lived up to those standards for me.
The graphics were stellar, but the mechanics amounted to a trial and error cycle from checkpoint to checkpoint.
I watched the dev diaries, and expected a polished experience from moment to moment.
Instead, I felt like several checkpoints were never reviewed by a director.
I hope they get a chance to try again, because they definite...
Game Pass @$15/month and four AAAs a year isn’t sustainable.
But, that’s also M$’ problem to figure out. Let them.
Sony seems to be doing fine with their ROI’s, so how unsustainable is it really?
They get the investment because of their past output.
Their budgets have grown over time because their visions and work output have both grown over time.
If you wanna make a game with a quarter billion budget, then your options are:
1. Win the lottery, and decide to invest it all into a single vision of yours.
2. Earn a publisher’s trust and interest in your work by making several games that consistently sell well, and do so with increas...
Imagine if M$ didn’t panic acquire Zenimax a couple years ago…. Then what game would we be waiting on?
Perfect Dark?
What goes around…
It’s difficult to believe M$ at this point.
Soooo they know when the next PS5 sku is coming, but they don’t know when they’ll start living up to their lofty promise of 4 AAAs a year on Game Pass…
Noted, Phil.
But… sliders.
I’m sure the greatest value won’t possibly hold back the “strongest”.

I think the Earth cracking from 2018’s first boss fight matches the frozen lightning bolt of the first Thor fight.
Nothing compared to 2018’s set pieces like flipping of the world tree thing, or the traversing of the frozen giant.
And, the ending had a giant looming over you and shooting stuff, and casting cool shadows as you fought.
OG GoW games had giant staircases leading to boss or mini bosses….Ragnorak c...
2018 had large scale stuff too, but Ragnarok didn’t…
You mean the campaign DLC teased as a credit cookie for MW2?
Considering they are already raising the price ahead of their first big GP AAA launch (Starfield), I expect that these new purchasing behaviors are still in flux and will react to said price increases.
