The AC franchise definitely needs some changes as it has gotten a bit stale, but live service is not the way to go imo.
Good luck attracting anyone of real talent with these policies Amazon.
Because my parents would not let me watch rated R movies as a kid so I always associate “I’d by that for a dollar” with the arcade hit Smash TV even though I know it became popular with Robocop. The OG movie is such a classic and a true product of its time.
I downloaded this free and really like that the app puts you in a virtual arcade where you move from machine to machine. However, I feel it would really improve the experience if they used the proper cabinets with side art and marquee instead of the Japanese versions with the short sit down cabinets with little to no art. Or at least give the option to switch back and forth as I am sure the Japanese market appreciates the current set up.
@NeoGamer - Personally I do not fault them because it is business, but if their answer to innovation/monetization in sports games is likened to pulling the handle on a slot machine I choose not to consume their product.
I really wish Sony would come up with an expansion storage device that taps into the SSD similarly to the way Microsoft has with the S/X. Day one buy for me if they would do this.
Are GamePass games leaving going to be a hot topic every month? It is a rental service that does not grant ownership unless you buy the game through it. Games will come and they will go. If you don’t like a game rental service, the best thing to do is vote with your money.
Outside of the anti-consumer business practices as it relates to their licensed and monopolized sports titles, I think they began to take notice after the Battlefront debacle and are actively trying to improve their brand image by tilting slightly toward more consumer friendly practices with some of their IPs.
They seem to be realizing that finishing 1st place every year as the least consumer friendly developer/publisher may not be the best look. However, I have a feeling ...
It always amazes me the banter on here. For people that share similar interest one would think we would be a little nicer to each other.
FF7 Remake > Control
After 6 years of development, at least $500,000,000 in development costs, and a poor demonstration just months prior to the release of your next gen console; I would say it is about time to attribute accountability and significant pressure on the developer of the game that is literally on the back of the box of said next gen console.
When I was 9 I went to Toys R Us and purchased an SNES. At the same time I paid $74.99 in 1992 for Street Fighter 2. My parents were in a difficult position financially at the time so it took over a year of savings for me to purchase these items by doing yard work in the neighborhood and saving each $ from every holiday and or birthday card that came from friends and family. Adjusted for inflation in 2021 dollars SF2 alone was approx. $149. Didn’t kill gaming for this kid.

As a consumer you do have a choice. I was an ardent NBA2K fan and had about a decade and a half worth of NBA2K entries in my library. Then 2K18 hit which turned out to be grindy and full of micro transactions. I emailed support to tell them that after years of support I wouldn’t purchase their product until I felt they provided a better value to their consumer again. I have stuck to this and found that there were tons of games I was missing out on in the process.

Agreed. NBA2K was already beating the quality of the NBA Live product by a significant margin in in the early 2000s and the same could be said with respect to NFL2K vs. Madden. Unfortunately for us gamers EA had the $ and the connections and secured long term licensing. They couldn’t compete from a talent standpoint.
Honestly outside of the Fight Night series I have thought of EA as a poor sports game developer since the early 2000s. Their sports games were great in the 90s, but they couldn’t keep pace with the competition when more publishers of sports games arrived. Lucky for them they have had exclusive rights to Madden since I think 2005. Otherwise somebody would have knocked them off their football sim pedestal a long time ago.
Same here. I will wait for a Pro model if there ever is one, but I don’t need 2 OG PS5s
*FF7 REMAKE SPOILERS*
Maybe they will take the FF7 alternate universe approach and just as Jesus is about to be hung on the cross he decides to rain fire and brimstone on his would be executioners. Part 2 will be utilizing his power to exercise world domination!
Seems all I learned from this article is which source not to go to for anything regarding a comprehensive list.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order?
@Battlestar Honestly normal people in America do not think this way. Despite what you have been told even the vast majority of conservatives do not think this way either. Their will always be some weird small fringe group out there somewhere who have fringe beliefs similar to what you are speaking on, but this is no where close to majority thinking. Most people, even conservatives (to restate) just want to be left alone and believe all are equal and should remain equal in the United States. ...
