The unpopular opinion is that their games simply are not good enough to afford self publishing. Sure they had some hits but most of the stuff they release is mediocre at best, and borderline insulting (MGS Rising) at worst. Even Bayonetta and Scalebound, good games in their own way, are brought down by absolutely awful character design. It's like they are aiming for an audience that does not exist.
After finishing the game once and never touching it again it wasn't even worth $20 for me. Uncharted 2, 3 and 4 showed that what this genre is capable of, the two new Tomb Raider games pale in comparison.
Sounds hella boring if you ask me.
But can he play football?
Just wait a bit more, soon they'll accept our souls as payment.
Well then add all the other required components and you'll easily hit 500, rather 600$. Even next year, I don't think they would make a profit at 400$.
Even as a huge Souls fan I don't think DkS3 tops Uncharted in terms of quality.
The only game in 2016 I could imagine topping UC4 is The Last Guardian but other than that, noone comes close to Naughty Dog. Horizon will probably top it, but it's been pushed into March unfortunately.
You do realize that you don't have to pay anything to play this game?
You even wrote an article about it, might be time that someone finally tells you how stupid you are.
Well it seemed like a win-win situation at that time, Microsoft needed an exclusive shooter until Halo, the biggest shooter crowd was always on Xbox and EA just likes any form of extra cash.
A comparable graphics card alone costs more than 500$ so I'm not sure they could sell this kind of hardware for 400$ without losing a lot of money. 599$ seem like a realistic expectation at the moment, but who knows how the prices change in the next 18 months.
^Noone has to rebuy anything, why would you rebuy games you already played 2 or 3 years ago? Are you seriously glad that this kind of remaster exists already? I'm pretty sure that I'm not the one who should feel stupid in this case.
What a naive point of view, you do realize the influence Call Of Duty and other big franchises have on this industry...? If people wouldn't complain about annual copycat releases, shady microtransactions or ridiculously overpriced mappacks you can bet that every developer will turn this once creative industry into pure business.
What if you "tried" the last 5 games and they were all disappointing? Sure this one could be THE GAME OF ALL GAMES but the realist in me prefers to side with the haters.
I do both for a passion. There's nothing like blaming Activision for what they've done during the last 10 years. Though EA (annual full priced "updates") and Ubisoft (empty promises) deserve just as much hate these days.
This game wouldn't have needed any kind of DLC if they made it a proper continuation of Battlefront 2. EA ruined this franchise completely and I really can't imagine how a sequel could restore the damage they've done.
I still can't believe how people were going crazy for this game a year ago.
Yeahhh u get games you already bought for free, AMAHZING!!11
Game looks great and rich in content, but I still don't like the shiny character models. Makes everything look worse in my opinion.
I'm not sure we played the same game, amazing is not the word I would use to describe it. Rather disappointing & forgetable to even boring and laughable... and certainly not worth getting excited for.
Edit as some think I'm trolling:
Disappointing AI
Forgetable story
Boring encounters and puzzles
Laughable characters and dialogue
I don't care about platforms, I just think it's a mediocre game.
And not 5 years after it released. I loved Skyrim but don't quite understand how people are feeling the urge to play this for hundreds of hours AGAIN. From a sales perspective this might be the perfect time to release a remaster, but I would've preferred to see a reimagined Morrowind instead.
