This.
Their biggest problem is not that they are dirty. Their problem is being not dirty enough. Other devs are doing the same stuff, but since they blatantly lie about their games, they break sales records. Take Destiny as an example. You gotta be 100% committed by your lie. They shouldn't have revealed the price of monsters DLC, since fair business is not an option.
Bait.
Switch.
...
Profit.

And PS4 games will be 30 FPS because that's all PS4 can handle.
What's the difference?
Derp. I'm not talking about Sony, nor I am defending MS.
I'm referring exclusively to bigotry. Never I said that MS is innocent or that Sony is a scammer (see 1.2.2?).
I stand mostly neutral about these companies practices, with a HUGE preference towards PS, my main platform for more than a decade. That doesn't mean, though, that I go full blind zealot mode as most people here do.
Damn, some (most) people here get so touchy when Sony is no...
Yi-Long, not all gamers, but most of them. The vaaaast majority, actually. The industry is not the way it is by accident.
Allsystemgamer, I see that criticizing gamers' lenience towards Sony offended you. Once again, it doesn't seem to be an accident...
1. Gamers are gullible, passive and childish. They do not criticize products they like. Batman franchise is perfect, Sony is perfect, MS is the devil, you can't like Titanfall. If Sony did anything wrong, "they'te getting it right, wait". If MS does the same, "that's outraging"! Naughty Dog puts pay to win on TLOU. Did a s***storm happen? Blablabla.
So no. The fact that it is bad and anti consumerist doesn't mean that it will be criticized.
...
Give up, Ozmoses.
Your thought is too complex for a mind like CptExcrement's.
^ The irony.
It is pretty simple. Money comes first of EVERYTHING.
Now, "costumer satisfaction" is just a way to make (guess what!) money. If they can make money WITHOUT consumer satisfaction, they really don't need players to be happy.
Lots of products and franchises are self destructing, but it doesnt matter, as long as it profits a lot. Franchises are really disposable, since they can always hype stupid gamers (the vast majority) and fake-advertise the ne...
It won't have MP. Period.
It also won't blow anyone's mind. Just typical overhyping of lame stuff.
My bet: "you'll never believe what we have in store! take here a sneak peek at our exclusive next gen glorious dynamic theme. #unbelievable #sorcery #braceyourselves"
Its design core is to be an annoying endless grind if you don't pay for progress.
Therefore awful game with pay to progress schemes.
Also, free to grind or not, it is a bad game.
It is called respect.
The journalists should be banned for such inconsequential behavior, for starting this wave of attacks.
While you're in the idea field, it is all so beautiful, in theory. When it comes to reality, the consequence for such foolish, ethnocentric and disrespectful behavior is pretty predictable.
And this is the game they ripped to "offer" the PVP as a preorder "reward".
No wonder they were pushing blind purchases so hard.
Ouch. Clicked agree by mistake.
Awful game with pay to progress schemes.
Yeah, lets mock some angry people even more!
Destiny, a game which design is centered on content deprivation and selling DLC, is the best selling new game in history.
Now Dying Light obliges you to preorder the game, in an age of broken releases, if you want to play the PVP. Are gamers mad about it? Pffft. Best consumers ever.
And, as you said, Naughty Dog puts pay to win microtransactions on a remastered game sold at full price. Terrible ain't it? Nah, the "Gods" can do no wrong, after al...
And this is the kind of truth you can only speak in an article about a non-PS game...
100% agreed with you. F2P means quality below average and grind grind grind. A few exceptions exist, like Clash of Clans, Happy Wars, that Diablo clone I always forget the name, but these are games from years ago. Have no hope of any good F2P game coming in the next years.
By the way, when will these idiot devs make a good zombie MMO? Can't they see that people are star...
Crickets.
Glad to see the agrees.
No subscription?
Pay to win confirmed.
This or something even worse will come into the game design...
"Tamriel Unlimited will be supported with special, optional downloadable content available for purchase and an in-game Crown Store for convenience and customization items."
Anyway, anything (except free to play, which a $60 game is not, mr. article writer) is better than subscription, which would make most players don't even think about b...
