I don’t buy less, but I definitely wait for sales on digital games now. I’ll buy a physical copy of something now and again, but not as often as I use to. With gamepass my back catalogue is so massive it’s super easy to wait for a 25-50% off sale and grab what I want then OR just wait until I can get it on eBay/offer up for cheap too.
Halo lacked features. Moving to a new game engine doesn't make sense. the Infinite campaign was great, I wanted more of that open halo style of playing. It's a shame what's happening over there.
People don't want live service games. Put something out that stands on its own, don't release it early, maybe drop a few DLCs, and move on. So strange that they're going to delist it. Fortnite, Apex, Overwatch, and CoD have made publishers chase the live service/subscription-based model that doesn't work in most cases. I'm so tired of it.
I picked this up a few months ago and still have so much stuff to play through before I get to it, so this delay is nice cause I won't feel like it's waiting for me to start it! lol
Funny how Push Square didn't report on this story. It's like the only people that don't want this to happen only have one console...and that one console starts with a P lol.
And people think we're getting diminishing returns on consoles hardware. Once developers actually start targeting current gen consoles from the ground up, things will have crazy potential.
@themightyant yeah that was my thought, even if the stores are taking a much smaller percentage, all the steps involved must cut into revenue by a big amount.
Now retailers also sell digital codes, what’s the take on those - cause if I buy a digital code through target and redeem it on my console, what’s Microsoft/Nintendo/Sonys take on those? My first thought is it would be lower - but I really don’t know!
@themightyant Do you know what the cost is for physical games? If a dev/publisher has to give Microsoft 30% on digital sales, what would it cost them to put it on a big box store shelf?
They better put out a firmware update that’s lets me use that controller with Bluetooth connection outside of stadia use. It’s gonna be really annoying having a controller that only works via wired connection and limited at that.
I’ve really into Rings of Power and remembered that I never finished Shadow of War, so I’ve been replaying that on my XSX. It has a 4K add on you can download for free (which I think they made for the one X) and it looks FANTASTIC! Considering is came out in 2017, wow I’m impressed. Plus no load time. I recall the game having really annoying load times on my PS4. So this is like a breath of fresh air!
Is a game where Morty talks to you most of the time really have big appeal? This style of comedy is all cringe at this point. You get a little with Rick and Morty and a lot with solar opposites. Since it’s coming to game pass I might check it out, if the reviews are good.
I don’t understand why two US companies need approval from foreign nations. Is it something to do with operating in other parts of the word? Needless to say, I don’t get it.
I’ve almost picked this game up on sale like a dozen times…if my back catalogue wasn’t so long I’d have gotten it by now. Seems like fortune favors the patient (if it actually comes to gamepass).
I definitely abandon Xbox for the PS4. I got a One to play Gears 4, but never touched it after that. Then my buddy started talking up GamePass and told how you could convert up to three years of Xbox Live Gold to GP Ultimate for $1...(on top of that he gave me the hookup because he worked at a Microsoft store at the time and I payed WAY under for 3 years of XbLG) This was around the time Outter Wolrds came out and it was on GP day one, so I played it on there and I think Gears 5 came out after that. I was feeling the pros of GP at that point and upgraded to a One X so I could start getting into 4k gaming and after that I started playing my PS4 a LOT less. Any time a 3rd party game came out I would get it for the Xbox and once the Series X was announced I was a little skeptical until Sony blundered almost everything about PS5 and I knew I'd be back in the Xbox camp until the PS5 had a price drop (or naughty dog released a new game). I got lucky and got my Series X in December for retail, have been in love with it and all the amazing features ever since!!!!
I haven’t noticed but I also haven’t looked for Xbox controllers here in the US. I did order a controller from the design lab last week and it said to expect it in 3-5 weeks before I get it.
Like…maybe they should focus on more new games? Starfield looks amazing, but like what if they made a another new IP and didn’t put out a fallout game for over 15 years? That would be fine by me.
Pardon my ignorance, but was the first resident evil game remade too? I've seen that 2 and 3 had the remade treatment and 4 is coming this year...what about 1? or was this a storyline thing, like the first game didn't connect to these other ones.
