She should have known better to join up with them in the first place. I was disappointed when I heard where she went after ND. She could literally go anywhere she wanted. I guess she’s just a Star Wars fan lol. I’m not, that’s why I was disappointed.
I trust activision more than I do the people who broke the story, “fake rape” rolling stone. A trash magazine.
Getting my ass kicked isn’t going to make me buy loot boxes. Seeing some fancy gun skin isn’t going to make me buy loot boxes. It’s not some complex mind manipulation algorithm, it’s a basic marketing ploy. It’s not even implemented, it’s just a patent. If you want to demonize publishers for shutting down studios that have never made a bad game in their existence? ...
Common sense that will obviously get demonized. I can guarantee this guy is getting trashed on Twitter right now.
I agree with you but these triple A publishers don’t give a shit about us, the people who buy the game and maybe some dlc. When they say “trends in the market” that’s suit speak for “get it while it’s hot” because who knows what the trend will be in next year. So many trends have come and gone it wasnt “the death of gaming”. People need to chill, there is nothing we can do.
I’m not missing out on good games because 10k British people want to wrongly classify loot boxes as g...
Yes, it was added to get more money. Who denies that? What “stupid people” don’t know the purpose of microtransactions? Yes, their only purpose is to shortcut lol. And lazy people dump billions of dollars into these shortcuts. Why wouldn’t a business go after that? To please you? To please the 10k that signed that online petition? Your wallet is outnumbered. I like when people call businesses greedy assholes lol. No shit, that’s the purpose of a business.
It hasn’t affected...
Could be true but I will never trust a source that says “kotaku reporter”.
Wow you got 10k retards to sign that? Send the memo to the Christian Right in America. Maybe we can get a tax on violent games next.
I like dynamic or atmospheric more than cinematic but variety is nice. The only way you can have loot boxes is if you have random loot mechanics which aren’t inherently bad. I don’t think it adds to something like assassins creed like it does to a game like diablo. It’s nice to have different weapons with different stats and effects but it’s not needed in every single game. While I don’t have a problem with random loot mechanics in games like nioh, witcher or battlechasers, they have gotten t...
It’s business, they are there to make money. You might be right, I personally don’t think charging 80 bucks would make up for the loss of MT sales. I think sales would decline (at least day 1 sales). So if you are greedy, charging 80 would be counter productive.
Lol this post wasn’t directed at you. It’s just the one after your post. My other post was a reply to you.
If you sell 4 million units and half of them spend 20 dollars on loot boxes, that’s 40 million dollars. If you convert the 40 million into individual sales you will get 666,666.667 sales. So mathematically, MTs are the devil +1.
I’m not sure that would be the balance. From what I understand the production costs are down and that’s why more and more developers are leaving the big publications and opting for the smaller personable teams instead of the 200 man workload. It’s easier to do that now than any point in 3D gaming history. You can get publisher help without being owned by them. Being owned by a publisher is rarely a good thing. Sony studios get better treatment than most but even they are vulnerable if they do...
It’s not a new way to play
It’s not a new way to pay
It’s not new either way
Even if this is the third article today to say
If you can laugh at your own bullshit then I don’t care what your race or gender or where you are on the spectrum. They make fun of a diverse set of archetypes and stereotypes. They trash current events and make light of serious issues. It’s funny because it’s f**ked up. That’s comedy and yes it’s inclusive. People who get angry at South Park are the unusual ones. It’s not a joke to the “it’s offensive” crowd, it’s a serious matter. You can’t compare South Park to something like Andromeda for...
@fun
nah, the purpose of the boycott is what makes it ineffective. If you boycott call of duty they will still sell 10 million copies. Will they think about it? Maybe but your impact is not enough to make up for the millions MT bring in.
UK government responds to online petition of ignorant tools. “Oh yeah, we’re looking into it.” Now you’re gambling with tax dollars and your odds are worse than a loot box.
If 4 million sales aren’t enough then you need to rethink your production. How much did dead space 1 cost? It was better than dead space 2 and I doubt it costs 60 mill.
Nobody here would defend the closing of visceral.
And blackbox
The first is a masterpiece. One of the greatest games of all time. The second was ok. I never finished 3.
