Re: 2K Studio Says Next Game 'Might' Be $80 Due To Doubled Development Budget

GuyinPA75

Also like to add, this goes out to all those all digital fanboys - - this is what you'll get. Do you want $80-$100 games? Really? Do you?

Price gouging will be the norm. Physical media is not broke. Why try fix it. No need to. People have no idea what they're asking for. When see how bad getting screwed. Will be too late. Nothing but nonstop, biting the pillow.

Re: 2K Studio Says Next Game 'Might' Be $80 Due To Doubled Development Budget

$80 is completely pricing me out buying new games. I have can afford it, yes. But I simply can not, will not, justify that price point for video game. Just not happening.

There is no reason to charge that much for a video game. None. Scale back costs. Do games need high expense voice actors? No. I could do just as good work and my pay be less than what pay voice actors now. I'm not joking, either.

I have plenty of backlog to play that last me probably for year or two. So I can wait for decent sale or just never buy at that price.

Re: Xbox Developer Shares Insight Into Why Physical Releases Are 'Complex'

GuyinPA75

This is probably how the real and honest conversation behind closed doors went:

The "complexity is, we want to make sure the consumer, owns nothing, will always be forced to rent everything, and have zero rights to anything that consumer ever purchases. We will continue to tout how awesome being all digital could be. Then after the consumer is locked in and consumer then realizes the grift is in full effect, past point of no return, and understands it's truly a terrible idea, we pull the rug out from under them. Leaving all screwed over.

Re: Five Games Are Leaving Xbox Game Pass In Early May 2025

Was very, very excited for Dune Spice Wars. Played day one on game pass. The font was soooooo unreadable and small in that game, I quit playing after about 30 mins.

Followed couple updates see if that would be addressed. Did not see anything. Deleted game. Never looked back.

Huge shame. Really looked forward to it.

Re: Poll: What Was Your Favourite Xbox Game Pass Title For April 2025?

@Lup Far as Clair Obscure, Heard, turn based combat, immediately lost all interest.

It also hits on HUGE personal pet peeve of mine. Stupid names, stupid titles. Any time see any those it automatically sends me into a Seinfeld rage.

Clair Obscur Expedition 33. Whose Clair? Why she obscur? How did she get so obscur? Why she on an expedition? Why not just call it Expedition 33? Why add a name on inanimate object? We don't say Jenny Concealed Appalachian Trial? Do we?No. We don't. We don't say that.

Re: Reaction: $80 Game Prices Are Ridiculous, Adding Even More Value To Xbox Game Pass

GuyinPA75

@Titntin I'm with you 110%.

But yours (and I'm right with you) is perfect example of why Game Pass is worst idea in gaming and why Xbox Live was superior.

If we drop game pass. How do we play online then? From my understanding, game pass replaced Xbox Live as way play games online (except free to play games). Meaning we are stuck paying for game pass in some manner.

It is complete grift from Microsoft.

Re: Digital Foundry Impressed With Oblivion Remastered, But Xbox Series S 'Takes A Hit'

GuyinPA75

@Ricky-Spanish Oh I agree 120% the "advancement" from to gen to gen at this point is joke.

For me, if someone played something from Xbox One and Xbox Series X, the only difference think I'd say is solid state drives and quick resume. Games for most part look and play the same.

Let's hope this new Xbox is legit advancement. Not getting my hopes up as truly believe it will be very much like Xbox version of the Switch.

Re: Digital Foundry Impressed With Oblivion Remastered, But Xbox Series S 'Takes A Hit'

GuyinPA75

@WildConcept6 The Series S is not only an unnecessary disaster, but, you actually have it completely, totally absolutely, unequivocally, backwards - the Series S is holding back the Series X since any developer has to factor in the Series S into its development. Which is disaster with it being a less powerful, and less capable console when compared to Series X.

But do truly appreciate your contribution to the conversation, despite having it backwards.

Re: Digital Foundry Impressed With Oblivion Remastered, But Xbox Series S 'Takes A Hit'

GuyinPA75

@Ricky-Spanish Series X is actually a legit, next gen console.

Series S is like when go to the Dollar Store and buy their knockoff, imitation products, thinking getting real thing.

Never good idea.

We always have this conversation lol. I enjoy it and not mean beat you up over it. But hopefully are finally seeing Series S is sooooooo much more trouble than what is worth. Series X is only way to go.
