You're thinking of rental services from many years ago. Look at Boomerang - the biggest UK rental service. They send you out multiple games, you keep as long as you want, then you post them back and get more. If you like the game you have, you can buy it off them for a discounted price and they post you the box and everything inside as if it was new.
So technically, it's working exactly like the rental services, only you don't have to wait to receive your next ...
that and money - lots of money. Let's not forget they paid over 19m dollars for DMC 5 and MH and they weren't day-one
It's not really for 'some reason' - I imagine it's to try and stop those who constantly exploit it to play illegal downloads of games for free and sync their trophies/play online.
You can't determine a games popularity by twitch views. If you took a look at who was streaming, when it was high, you'll see a handful of streamers with the majority views. That's their audience.
Then, if you look when it's lower, they will have gone offline.
Most people watch twitch for the streamer and their personality, not the game. Otherwise, they'll be playing the game themselves.
Sorry, our ‘thing’ is that we focus on detailed reviews, so try to talk about the things other sites would overlook or cut out of the review to make it shorter. As such, they are usually around 2-3k words :)
Glad you like the sound of the game though, it was a great VN. I didn’t even realise KEMCO actually made games outside of the standard top-down pixel-art RPGs, so it was surprising how much I enjoyed it.
@rainslacker - Sony has already tried that. The PSTV devices used to work with PSNow, allowing you to sync a DS4 to it and play streamed games on your tv (as well as Vita and emulated ps1 and psp games). I don’t think enough people adopted the units though. It was even in certain TV sets - just sync your controller and play.
Depending on how the buttons are crafted in the backend (as they usually have notches so they slot into the right hole) it may be the Same on all buttons this time. If so, they could have opened it and swapped the buttons with another unit.
This isnt like the samus which was literally a manufacture defect, this unit isn't worth any more than a regular switch lite second hand.
they already have one, PSNow - since 2014...
True, but why would Blizzard invest in paying the price for the cartridges, putting the game on them, then putting them in the case, if the game is pretty much out of date and overwritten the first time you load it up? It's much more convenient and cheaper to not put it on a cart. This 'physical' release is purely for collectors.
Nobody made a fuss about the Pokemon 3DS titles which were a code in a box and they could have been on a cartridge
"I doubt MS had anything to do with this" - not true. We Happy Few was the same situation. Also, once they bought Compulsion and Ninja Theory, all their games were removed off PSNow. MS doesn't want any of the studios they now own to have anything to do with PS, apart from Minecraft
It's a great value. You get every Ubisoft game with all the gold editions - so all Expansions, DLC and base games. Not bad when most 'gold' editions are about £70+
The only service which almost comes close is GamePass with a single game, Gears 5, that gives you the Ultimate edition if you have the Ultimate pass.
Do they need to ‘convince’ Xbox gamers? If you’ve bought nothing but Xbox and you’ve invested a lot into games and achievements on the platform, I doubt you’ll drop it all and grab a ps5, especially if the new system is native Bc with Xbox one games.
This was my main response when all the ‘Will PS4 owners buy and Xbox one x as it’s more powerful’ statements a few years back. No. I have 1600 PS4 games now, I wouldn’t jump to Xbox for anything, not even a few extra pixels.
...
Love the downvotes :)
Anyway, as what I said seemed to confuse people - why would they waste money in putting the game on a cartridge (which costs money depending on the size of the game) when as soon as you pop in the cart, it’ll most likely have to download everything again anyway? Always online and MP only games are constantly updating and changing, as such, an actual physical cartridge is pointless. I imagine if you pop the disc into a PS4 or Xbox one, the initial updat...
Makes sense. The game is an always online product that has constant updates. Putting it on a cart is pointless as it’ll be out of date by the time it ships
That’s the point. They claim that GP is the biggest game subscription service, when it isn’t. How is digitally renting around 200 games ‘bigger’ than renting over 800 games?
Also, there’s about 300 downloadable games on psnow, so even if you only look at the non-streaming side, it’s still the ‘biggest’. If anyone’s showing their insecurities, it’s you, trying to defend a clearly bias comment which acts like Sony doesn’t exist - as I said, Windows Centra and their obvious bi...
Can you call that a 'launch title' though? It's on both the current and next-gen of Xbox consoles, Probably will be the same disc and just have improved FPS, resolution and/or visual effects. If anything, it's a standard cross-gen game rather than a launch title.
Oh windows Central, you never cease to entertain...
"it's probably best to look at the biggest game subscription platform available today - Xbox Game Pass" - in terms of digital games, PSNow is the 'biggest' game subscription - physical you could argue Boomerang or the US equivalent.
This is followed by saying GP is better than Apple because Xbox shows you the price of games, you can use pre-paid vouchers to give a sub to someone, an...
not really impossible - the two games were previously on the PS3 and Xbox 360 - so it's just a remaster of a ast gen title.
Have you looked into what the VCS is? It's a Ryzen APU system with dual boot - one side is the custom firmware and OS with the atari based games and a few retro subscriptions, the alt boot mode is either Windows or Linux which essentially runs like a mini-pc.
As long as the specs are as they described the other day, it'll be a decent mini system for retro and some modern indie games. however, it's a bit expensive atm.
So you don't think this game is worth a high score? Have you played it to completion and come to your own conclusion of what you would 'score' it?
