Did anybody of these chumps in the media ask if you can play as Venom?
What this means is that in the week of the Starfield launch Xbox sales went up by less than double. It’s good, and this is not downplaying, but it’s not a major leap in sales, and it will fall in the second week. Meaning, if repeated in all international territories, Starfield has been a hit with Xbox owners but has had not dramatically increased sales.
@PhillyDonJawn the Xbox physical edition was at the top of the UK chart last week - add it should be as the biggest release of the week. All the collectors will be buying it on release. What will be more revealing is how it fairs in its second week.
Here is the Amazon UK live video game chart: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Be...
At least you can say Metro’sDavid Jenkins explains what he doesn’t like.
@JackBNimble some people are shouting that Starfield is the best game ever (a valid opinion) and some are decrying it as a huge disappointment (not many may agree but also valid). So the nuance is one person coming on N4G and giving their subjective opinion that the game hasn’t met their expectations built up by hype but that it’s still a good experience.for them. However, the fanboys and girls will not accept another’s view on a game simply because they personally disagree with it.
@Flawlessmic That’s a nuanced opinion that stands out from the people who only see things in absolutes.
Even if this story was to be approved, I’m not sure the majority of the N4G audience are in a market for a Bidet Converter Kit.
I like the way D brand carefully navigates copyright lawsuits from Sony -it has big bollocks! 🤣
I will watch it too. There are so many rich storytelling possibilities. It deserves a big budget else it could look like cheap green screen with computer CGI backgrounds as was evident in some of season 3 of the Mandalorian. So if Amazon is building real sets like Andor it could be something special. 🤞🏼
What counts as a player to Microsoft? My understanding that it’s a person who has launched the game once.
For Starfield, and all other games, Microsoft can also measure how many people played for different time increments eg 1-2 hours, 2-3 hours etc. it would be insightful to know how many players as a percentage have played for five or more hours then you can see how many people are playing padded the intro.
Todd Howard is the Peter Molyneux of the Video Game World.
With a sprinkling of the genius of Miyamoto, Kojima and Chris Roberts. And the fantasy storytelling genius of Tolkien and R.R. Martin, and the sci-fi storytelling genius of Asimov and C. Clark.
Why is the sub-bedroom blog quality Videogamer.com and Dexerto and others referring to Alanah Pearce as a ‘player’? SHE has done nothing wrong, but they are doing it to obfuscate her industry role so her discovery is attributed to a regular player.
As a former IGN reporter and now a Santa Monica Studios writer she is at the very least should be called an Industry Insider, or Industry expert, or be referred to by her name - she has a high enough profile give her the respect ...
I wonder how many hours do you have to play before it gets good?
Videogamer.com with another insightful piece about Starfield. This time, it’s a discussion of when the blogger tried a flight stick with the game. The results may just shock you.
Three of the top stories on N4G (as of the time of writing) are all low effort Videogamer.com bilge. Stop trying to make Fetch happen. Other websites worth more popular stories are not getting the top spot because of this which means there is no fairness,
I’m so grateful that on N4G there is another INFORMATIVE Videogamer.com article. Now everybody can know when Starfield goes live in their country.
Is there reviews of the PS5 edition?
PeterOvo and GamingBolt are both as thick as each other. That percentage number does not mean the Xbox Series X has had an increase in sales of 1,056%. It means the percentage increase in Amazon sales rank; in other words if you look at the picture it actually says the Xbox was at 370 in the Amazon chart and now is at 32 - so a big leap to nearer the top of the chart. However this gives no indication of how many units the Xbox Series X had actually sold, although you can infer an increase. Th...
Reading Alex Hay’s message to his loved ones actually made me very sad.
Symbiotic!’ Ha ha! What an inventive pun!
This is how it works:
Firstly, ApocalypseShadow described the business relationship between Insomniac Games and Sony as ‘symbiotic’ denoting a close partnership where their strengths complement each other that it’s beneficial to both.
And secondly, and here’s the kicker, symbiotic is a reference to what happens in the beginning of the story of Spider-man 2 as it is about Peter Parker melding with the alie...
