I liked the first two games. I never did play Lightning Returns, although I might pick it up for PC in the future. The games get a lot of hate, but they were actually good games.
I feel like it was more advertised this year. I actually watched it live on Youtube, but usually I forget it is even coming on because of the lack of advertisements.
They never put Beat Saber on sale. It hasn't been on sale once since its release.
I usually beat all the Call of Duty games on the hardest difficulty, so this surprises me a little. But then again many people just get COD for the multiplayer and zombies.
I mean most people don't tend to finish vast open-world games. The last open world game I finished was Horizon Zero Dawn. But many times, I lose interest in finishing those type of games after a while.
I gotta agree. I don't really like super long games. I don't have the time to invest, and I start to lose interest if a game gets to be too long. It almost begins to feel like a chore to play it. I'm prefer short and sweet memorable games.
Agreed. I also thought the open world skiff parts were kinda boring and pointless. It's just another example of devs trying to force every game to be open-world.
I would if it's on sale/cheap but that's only because I don't buy consoles at launch. I wait a year or two because Launch consoles tend to have bugs and defects that need to be worked out, just look at the Xbox 360(Disc-Scratching/RROD) and PS4 Pro(Loud Fan) and I don't believe in paying a premium to deal with those issues.
That sucks, I was interested in subscribing eventually.
Playstation fanboys tend to overrate things. Uncharted esp. is an over-hyped franchise. The Last of Us was actually a phenomenal game though. The gameplay in Uncharted is so basic.
I liked Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2. I never did play Lightning Returns though. I might go back and do that. XIII was a good game that people just loved to hate for no reason. Reminds me of Batman Arkham Origins in that way.
They forgot Nioh on their list.
Gamers buy the Same stale Games Over and Over, so why would AAA developers switch up a proven formula? However, IMHO Gears is one of those franchises that doesn't need to change up that much because the gameplay has remained addicting over the years.
I'm all for the Netflix model. What people don't understand is companies like Microsoft/Netflix have a huge budget on how much they'll pay to get certain games/movies on their service. High Quality AAA devs are gonna get paid more than Indie devs, it's the same way with Netflix. And they might even have it worked out where a dev gets a certain percentage based on download numbers. Devs might actually stand to make more money, esp. on games people are hesitant to shell out 50-6...
What's the point in owning a physical copy anymore if you have to download the game from the disc onto the hard drive anyway? And PC has done away with physical altogether. The only benefit I can see is the ability to trade in the game.
Not necessarily. If devs get lazy and slack on quality, then Microsoft(or whoever) has the option to not pick up their game for their service much like Netflix. This would leave the dev out in the cold and potentially w/o an audience, thereby encouraging them to do better next time.
KHIII was literally on sale for 24.99 in the U.S. You can't spare 5 more dollars?
@SpineSaw
The point is old games will just be collecting dust, so there really is no reason to own them.
How many times do you go back and play those games you've finished that you own? Chances are you'll play a game for a few months and then move on to the latest and greatest game, never to touch that old game again.
Looking forward to playing it. I liked the first game way more than I thought I would.
