"IF" this is true regarding single player, the day that happens is the day I stop moving forward with gaming and stick to the classics. I refuse to enter a console gen with multiplayer only; so a game can go at any time and we as gamers have nothing to show but a smaller bank account.
At the moment Fortnite requires either an invite from someone who already has the Founders Pack, or to purchase the Founders Pack directly for the story mode. Free to play starts in 2018; so in theory no it's not free to play at the moment.
I'd go as far as saying to refund everyone affected, to show the companies we mean business.
It wouldn't be so bad if purchasing a loot box guaranteed something hard/impossible through normal game play, but to buy a "chance," after my experience with Fortnite I'll pass.
And before people start going on about me spending $ on Fortnite loot boxes, I'm speaking from experience, not what someone else says. I spent way more than expected and have little to show.

Sorry I had to
OT
Wouldn't it be the best feeling in the world to buy what you want on your console of choice? Let that sink in...
The problem is too many companies are looking at ways to save money while spending less, which is at the sacrifice of quality work. Loot boxes currently is the "go to" for quick $ instead of actually making an effort to keep the player base happy by offering other options.
I want a crash that will teach the greedy corporations a lesson, however keep the indie scene unaffected. I want bigger companies to be reminded of who got them to where they are today, and wh...
This reminds me of those situations where someone watches an R rated movie, then complain because "they didn't know X and Y would happen" although it's printed on the back of the box.
Granted I don't have children, or immediate family who watch me play games, but I at least know what to play around my company at any given time. A friend of mine has a son who sometimes visits; and if there's a game I'm playing he feels is inappropriate, I tur...
I'm still waiting on that one game MS needs to win me over as a customer; for now Nintendo has my attention with a few releases. I already own the PS4 Pro with a SSD installed (which is nice), and soon the Nintendo Switch since they now have a few games I want to try out.
MS can boast all they want about tech, but without sufficient first party support, it's just bells and whistles with 0 substance.
Hopefully a mini classics version of their older systems, including the CDX.
DLC itself isn't bad, it's when there's talk of expanding a single player game before initial release. At first I didn't mind because it was something that only happened with certain titles; however over time the majority of companies looked at it as a quick cash grab. I'm still a big supporter of making a game complete, and only release dlc/expansions as needed to help build on top of the game; not cut content and release it later. This is a big reason why gaming befor...
I vote 2 as the best of the series; although I did like 4 for what it is.
This is exactly why I skipped purchasing the game at launch. I'll wait for some GotY edition with everything for a lower price.
At E3 2013 Sony made it clear that night you can play offline, while MS was stating you have to have always online (Before the day one patch). And there's also the Don Mattrick quote, "Fortunately there's a device for those without connectivity called Xbox 360." Then continues, "well if you have 0 access to the Internet it is an offline device."

Ok, thanks for replying. I'll try again later then.
I actually agree with the author, and this is a big reason why I chose PlayStation over Xbox this generation. A lot of debate is "the majority have reliable, high speed Internet. LOL sucks to be you to depend on slower speeds" and other nonsense; when it reality, a big portion of the gaming community still relies on either limited access, or no Internet. It's easy to take for granted the high speed options, available patches, and extra content when ever you want, yet forget a...
The USB port on the back of the PS4 pro no longer uses my Siberia 840 headset, but the front port works fine. The system recognizes it, but no sound comes out at all; while the front port(s) work with it. Can someone else verify if their headset works on the USB port in the back? This didn't happen until after the 5.0 update.
Exactly. Pick up and play, and have fun.
Because games back then were made by gamers, and people who want to play what they made. Games today make me sick with DLC, Season Passes, some sort of tacked-on multiplayer (or something requiring to be logged online), and my all time favorite - Patches.
I own the SNES classic, and I miss the days of being able to play for a bit, complete the game, and get a bigger sense of accomplishment than the (majority of) trash that's out today; requiring achievements/trophies...
I stopped buying (fighting) games where DLC, Season Passes, and/or planned content is already discussed even before release. Tekken 7 (for Evo purposes) was my last purchase, and I do want Dragon Ball Fighter Z; however if there's talk of some sort of "extras" that cost money, I'll pass. I learned my lesson with Street Fighter 4 and 5 with "day one" purchasing.
And this is a big reason why gaming has turned into a joke. Make quality products, and you can feed your families with the results; ripping off your customers with garbage add ons and "chances" only make your loyal customers seek greener pastures.
Because someone wants a bigger bonus for a lower than average quality product isn't my problem as a customer, I want a quality product to show support for hard work and for a good franchise. The fact someone want...
