Pirates are fun to think about but I wouldn't want to be one. Doesn't seem like it's a good idea to mix the anonymity of the Internet with the theme and moral code of pirating with expectations strangers are going to have fun with one another.

Rotten shame that this game didn't live up to the hyoe. Feel even worse for the devout fans that feel like it's a reflection on them and have to defend it still—like it's their failure.

I commend all those who are still sticking by it, but know no one is going to judge you for having had had hope—especially when Microsoft gives so little reason to have it.

Thank goodness you're so special. You can help us simple-minded folks understand how to be better knowers.

Listen, it's a game that missed the mark set by Rare itself. That doesn't have to reflect on you just because you deeply want it to be a great game. No one will judge you for having had hope.

Not the same.

As I stated, a good reviewer doesn't use bias.

At least the paragraph from the review [above] is honest about how simplified and bland the game is. For those who like that kind of thing, good for you, but let's not pretend this is of the caliber as games like Witcher 3, World of Warcraft or Elder Scrolls Online.

No one is forcing you to stay here with us.

Not if most of the time you play it's with an unstable crew. Regardless how great a game could be, you should judge it on how great it is.

A good reviewer avoids bias and grades based on factual, professional analysis.

Digital should cost a lot less than a physical copy.

China investing in Ubisoft... Considering Tencent is focused on the mobile gaming market it stands to reason Ubisoft has something planned that fits Tencent's portfolio direction.

Is telling how badly this game is doing given that it barely has any stories in the top ten N4G stories of the day—the day of its release.

In all fairness, Microsoft has given its gamers plenty of reasons to hate how they've been treated.

Same site that gave the Shadow of the Colossus remake a SEVEN.

I know, it's impossible that the Square-Enix universe and the Disney universe would ever be mixed together into something like a movie or video game. 🤔

Seems as though PlayStation is leaving money on the table by not implementing such a feature.

You're missing my point. I'm not defending Atari if they make a three hundred dollar Atari 2600. I'm standing up against those who are disrespecting the origin story of the mainstream video game industry.

And, as long as that video player played plenty of new movies I would absolutely drop that kind of scratch to watch the first science fiction movie ever made.

@Atanasrikard

Wrong? Hardly. Fact is some companies put saving a short buck before giving customers a grand experience. Not a new shortcoming for a business to have—Microsoft is just one of the newest offenders to be finally suffering the repercussions.

The Switch is a portable, tablet-sized console that could have had easily gotten away with receiving a straight port over of Dark Souls without any improvements—and gamers wouldn't have thought any less about it being done as a straight port over.

Good on Nintendo and the developer for going the extra mile.

"It also means that once you stop paying you don't even keep the game..."

Preach it.

I'll hand Microsoft this: The company sure does know how to manipulate and brainwash its fans into buying—and defending—below average quality content.
