I’m skeptical, mostly because I expect it to simply have a bunch of micro-transactions in there to buy yourself towards the complete experience, except, of course, far more expensive than if you’d just buy the whole game as-is.
But, we’ll see. Perhaps it’s ‘just’ a glorified’ demo (which GT7 currently doesn’t have, outside demo-stations in stores), and maybe it will have free online MP for those who don’t have PS+, but we’ll have to wait and see.
Personal...
I have no idea if this ‘failed’ or not. Original already looked good, and Remaster looks amazing.
I think Sony’s current greed is simply turning a lot of people off, to the point where their games are even still too expensive when they’re supposedly on sale.
I think I only have 2 1st party PS5 exclusives, and one of them (Horizon FW) was bundled in with the PS5 when those consoles were very difficult to find in stores. The only other PS5 game was Ratchet ...
DLC for shooters generally splits the player-base between ‘haves’ and ‘have nots’, and it often means that servers became less populated and as a result, many dropped the game completely once that happened …
I’m happy about decisions like this. It makes it far more likely for me to buy games full price, because I know I’ll get the complete package, and they’ve put everything in there that they wanted to have in there.
It’s not just Nintendo doing this, though. There are other musea which have similar rules, not just in Japan (I remember visiting Uji, a town near Kyoto known for its green tea, visiting a Buddhist temple (Byodoin) with a small museum, and there too you weren’t allowed to take photographs).
In Hong Kong (not Japan, obviously), same thing. In most exhibitions it’s fine, but in others it’s prohibited, because of copyright-concerns. In the Shatin museum I was taking lots of pi...
I try to buy single-player games on physical. I think many gamers do, or at least want to.
Less and less stores are selling physical Xbox games these days. In Japan you would have huge sections in plenty of stores selling Switch & Playstation games, and then a tiny section for Xbox. In Hong Kong, same thing. Even here in Holland it’s increasingly rare to find a store carrying Xbox games.
If Microsoft is so concerned about games not selling for their s...
Personally only interested in this if they have included the option for Japanese voices this time.
Just say you only want to see white faces in your entertainment.
Tempting, but I’ll wait for a sale on the Complete Edition including Ada, preferably physical.
“There would be fewer games if only the actual creative people were making them.“
Actually, I think there would be (far) more games, if only the no-nothing suits would just trust the creative people to do their thing and allow them to take risks, instead of just going for big pay-off bets on industry buzzwords.
I miss the days of the big companies just going with a combination of smaller and medium-sized games across different genres, like old EA which wa...
Most think Ghost of Yotei will be great. Just a select few are crying because ‘No Jin’ and ‘New girl-boss is ‘woke’ … ‘, which has gotten them pretty upset. Just the usual nonsense these days, sadly.
It’s a sequel to a great game, in a new location, in a new era, and with a new main character, and developed for current-gen hardware; It will be great. And if some folks can’t get past the fact they don’t like the new main character, that’s their problem, and their loss.
I loved Ghost of Tsushima, but it was also very clear there was lots of room for improvements.
- More weapons. Jin was basically limited to just swords for combat. Makes sense, of course, as a Samurai, but I think in Nioh 2 we see what else is possible in terms of many weapons, styles, etc. I don’t expect that kind of depth in Yotei, of course, but a bigger variety of different weapons would be cool.
- Tsushima had some tiny villages and settlements, but it didn’t have big, ...
I’d love a Capcom vs Sega, actually. Streets of Rage, Shenmue, Virtua Fighter, Yakuza, Shinobi, Valkyria Chronicles, Golden Axe, Persona perhaps, etc.
I hate scalpers as well, but honestly, they should have just done a proper retail release. Game seems amazing, but I’m not splurging on any ‘collectors edition’, and I’m not gonna buy SP games digitally.
When you’re considered a beloved classic within the genre, it seems you have earned the occasional article reminiscing about how special you were.
Brilliant game, I really miss it, and it deserved so much better than what Sony did to it.
Most important reason I liked it; It was FUN. That’s it. The actual gameplay,throwing a car around corners, the challenging AI opponents, the entertaining tracks which were peak-design, etc etc, it was above all just FUN to play.
Greedy well-paid suit-guy breaks once successful gaming company by making terrible decisions damaging these games with the clear intent of draining their customers and fans dry in every way imaginable, then acts all ‘how dare they!?’ when those fans and gamers collectively turn their back on the company he drove into the ground …
Never played any of the games in this series. The main character and the setting (American mall) just didn’t appeal to me. Glad to see the remaster getting good scores though. Once it hits 20 bucks or below I’ll probably pick up a physical copy if I can find it.
This is the kind of greed which made so many gamers abandon the fighting game genre, and it just gets worse and worse.
I think the main problem with MK1 is that the general consensus is that
1; It’s simply not as good a game as Mortal Kombat 11 was in most aspects. Not story, not roster, not the amount of SP content, etc, and the overly greedy monetization has also been criticized by the fanbase. The DLC-characters themselves also feel less interesting than those in MK11.
2; It also not as good as the competition. Both Street Fighter 6 as well as Tekken 8 have received unanimous pr...
