That's the problem. Those titles work and make money. So executives think we all want GaAs games.
This is the problem with management.
That's not even remotely true.
What's even more ironic is that games like NBA2K, Madden, NHL, FIFA (whatever it is called) should be GaaS games.
Buy the new season update but keep the core game, then come out with a new game in 5 years.
Management is too stupid to realize this. For now, I just play old sports games offline. They literally ignore gamers that want this model for these games.
Then they're too stupid to realize that other games shouldn't be...
That was the weirdest claim during that time. It reminded me of people claiming that The Order 1886 was a Gears of War Clone, which just goes to show you how delusional some gamers can be.
Guess things haven't changed much. But I am so ready for a Killzone, such a great franchise.
@Derek it's the anti-woke crowd. They believe that Ellie is a woke character because she was created before they started the culture war nonsense.
Just let their tears run. There's nothing more pathetic than someone getting upset over a video game.
There was an article last week espousing some goofy conspiracy theory about it. The upvotes for the conspiracy nuts were about the same as the downvotes here for people just talking about the game.
Ni No Kuni Cross Worlds is the mobile game you're thinking of.
It looks amazing but I don't like to play mobile games.
@Bloop
I said, "And now you'll move the goalposts..."
And right on cue, you did. Congratulations, I guess.
What is a better answer to the question: Why is there all this diversity?
A ) A global conspiracy to replace white, straight christians in places of power and influence including portrayals in media? With firms like Sweet Baby Inc. leading the charge?
B) That the left is comple...
@Bloop
It's a fact that Baby Boomers retired as the old guard gatekeepers.
It is a fact that Gen X and Millennials took those jobs in all industries.
It is a fact that they published marginalized people's stories and hired marginalized people into roles that weren't stereotypes.
It is a fact that diversity in media has created billions of dollars in growth.
But because Marvel used Sam Ja...
This simply looks fun. Can't wait for release.
That's not what happened at all. No one group has this kind of power unless we listen to crazy conspiracy theorists.
Ockam's Razor: the simplest complete explanation is usually the correct one.
Here is what happened, simply. The gatekeepers retired. Gen X became the new gatekeepers and allowed marginalized groups to gain a foothold in writing narratives because they were good. This occurred in every industry from movies, TV, streaming, games, book...
Yeah that seems like a new trend with them. They just ended the year with their favorite games of '23 picked by NPR staff.
Marion Jones and the Great Eggplant.
We'd need a new internet for that to happen. This one is too slow.
Sega survived after going 3rd party publisher. Microsoft could sit back and let Sony manufacture the consoles and reap the rewards.
What is a rougelike? Is the whole color palet just red and pink?
He almost seems to be trying to convince himself of what he was writing.
His biggest counter argument is that PS offered more variety. "PS Plus’ emphasis on variety and niche titles does result in it offering a diverse library, however."
50 more games. $3,000 more in value.
His arguments are just simply feelings."I still can’t help feeling like it was actually Game Pass that truly came out on top."
Unicorn Overlord looks like one of those games to just get lost in. Super hyped.
Troll /trōl/ verb
"fish by trailing a baited line along behind a boat.
gerund or present participle: trolling"
Example: Kotaku got trolled because they gobbled up the bait so quickly. They didn't pause and consider that the juicy bait might be a trap.
It's called Sunk Cost Fallacy (aka Gambler's Fallacy): "the phenomenon whereby a person is reluctant to abandon a strategy or course of action because they have invested heavily in it, even when it is clear that abandonment would be more beneficial."
I haven't even played "the Ultimate Game for Tom Cruise Fans Soon."
It's not even on the store.
