And what you think gave it negative press and even made Steam move to allow refunds? Or you think it just came out of nowhere? What a dumb and anticonsumer take.
Are you living under a rock? The Negative reviews were what cause Sony to back track on their choice to fuck the consumers over. They are as valid as they come.
Not exactly surprising. Hades was an EGS exclusive during its first year of early access. So by the time it came to Steam, it had already lost a lot of hype. Some people bought it on EGS, others completely forgot about the game, and many, like me, thought, 'Well, I've already waited a year, I can wait until it's 50% off'.
Even though the games are easily available on Game Pass, a remaster of the original titles would be cool. I believe only the first got that treatment back in the Xbox One's days. As for Gears 6, honestly, it's not that Gears 4 and 5 are bad, far from it. But at this point, I feel just like Halo, it could really take its time, 4 years is already a lot but I feel a couple more would do well for this series.
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
I mean, it was mostly for bragging rights. It was a very temperamental tech that improved with newer iterations, for sure. But folks like myself, who have used it, probably recall that troubleshooting was an integral part of the experience and the value that you got out of the setup was really low.
However, none of that mattered because it looked sick as hell on a well-built PC.
I would argue that Hi-Fi Rush at 30fps is a much worse experience than Doom. It is a rhythm game at the end of the day, so extremely reliant on your input latency, which is directly connected to your refresh rate and frame rate.
It's likely not unplayable or anything close to that, but it's going to be a case where for the Switch version, not only the visuals are impacted, but so is the quality of the gameplay.
I think that was the plan. The Yakuza series has finished ditching the old combat system with Gaiden and moving forward would go with turn-based combat. Whereas the Judgment series would keep the beat 'em up style and bring it to newer heights. But there were all those rumors about the actor from the Judgment series and his agency were not willing to renew the contract, so we might never get any new games there.
Yeah, I give it 8 months before they close the servers. I love Trails; in all honesty, I think it's one of the best RPG franchises and also the best when it comes to world-building. But it's not popular enough to sustain a gacha mobile game for more than a few months.
Sort of inevitable, they are becoming a service provider first and foremost. So the reasons to get their hardware are becoming less and less.
Because people unfortunately make these companies and products part of their own persona, so when they are scrutinized, they see it as an attack on themselves. There is some neuropsychological research around this phenomenon, but it basically has the same effect as religion. It helps foster a sense of community that humans need to feel comfortable. So that is not happening unless we have a sudden surge of people actually understanding how they work and taking control of themselves.
Oh, I remember this one on the Switch. Super charming art style, absolutely zero substantive action in the gameplay, basically a glorified minigame collection, and not even an extensive one at that. A bit odd that is coming to Xbox of all places, given that it`s the only modern platform that doesn't have access to a actual Project Diva game.
Sense of exploration. That was why older Bethesda games were so good. They might have had glitches, broken mechanics, meh visuals, etc., but they were some of the best around when it came down to the sense of exploration. You could go wherever you wanted and you would find something cool; it might have been a faction, a weapon, an enemy and much more. And that is what they are lacking now. Skyrim still had a lot of that, but Fallout 4 dropped it by focusing on an interconnected world and more...
I agree, although being a GaaS, it would make a lot of sense for them to expand to the Xbox ecosystem as well. These games thrive based on the size of their player base, and while Helldivers 2 is currently healthy, a few more players wouldn't hurt.
Additionally, it was the first game in the franchise to break the mold and come to PC, so there is historical significance here.
I think it's better to leave games like AC: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash forgotten on the Wii U. Best case, they are mediocre games; worse case, they are very bad. It was a dark time for the Wii U, and the first only exists to sell Amiibo cards, whereas the second was put together in a couple of months with a shoestring budget, and it shows.
The rest of the list does have some really cool games, though. I would love to see a remake of Star Fox Zero with...
Unless they are trying to kill their recently created PC business, I would advise against opening a dedicated PC store. It's an extremely hard endeavor, and people, in general, are very comfortable with Steam. Even Epic, with their billions of dollars invested, is still struggling to find a foothold, and they have Fortnite.
Shame most of the people that made Blizzard what they were, have already left a while ago.
I don't think that is a huge thing. Hell, I would even argue that is completely not important.
Pc Gamers in general do not care about resolution that much and therefore I don't see 4K gaming becoming a thing on Pc any time soon. It's just not worth it. Even more when right now there are many better ways to improve the visual quality of your experience before going for the resolution.
From QLED, OLED, miniLED-based solutions, Fast IPS, IPS Black, bette...
It's a great idea, but I feel the execution could have been better, particularly concerning the quality of the consoles themselves and the fact that those carts are likely not going to last long, given the cheap, bottom-of-the-barrel flash memory they use.
@boing1
And what you think made Steam delist the game in the first place. I will give you hint it was not the unsuported PSN. It was that being brought to their attention by the negative reviews.
@CrimsonWing69
Such a cattle mentality... All of that is the result of the negative review campaign, not the other way around. That's what generated the fan outcry elsewhere, that's what made Steam assign real people to deal with the ...
