I am not a fan of the shared world. I preferred the 100% single-player game experience. A shared world means having to interact with toxic, rude, and unreliable people. I have avoided that since Halo 2 was released.
I have the Razer device for my phone but it just does not fit my hands well so I rarely use remote play. I wish they made big controllers that snap on the side of my iPad.
I have never replayed a PS exclusive other than remasters. I usually beat them in a week and never touch them again. I replay my Xbox Exclusive all the time. The Gamepass model will not work for them because there are huge gaps between big AAA titles. Once MS gets going in the next 2-3 years with all these new developers it will be big titles once a month.
I have a hunch you only a couple of employees complaining to the press and it's making this out to be much bigger than it is. I know one guy that works out there and he has no clue who these people are. The few departments he works in are happy and have never seen or heard about any of these outraged employees.
For me, I would engage with seasons more if they had a path that did not involve grouping or playing with real people. Have a solo path that allows you to hit max points and a multiplayer path.
I will still be one of the few people that will wait until the court system sorts this out. The power of accusations and allegations are astounding in this digital age. You can destroy people's lives without hard evidence or facts. And people just grab their digital pitchforks.
In retrospect, my favorite moment was the Xbox One E3 disaster. That was the lowest moment for them but it was the catalyst that in my opinion resulted in my favorite video game system ever.
"We created a group of characters you would want to invite in your living room everyday"
I actively try to avoid weird people like this everyday. The only way they get in my living in on the nightly news as they report the destruction in Seattle.
Right now because of chip shortages its very important for software sales. So if was a game developer not only would I give all of my older gamer Series X upgrades I would make future games run on both.
Keep this up. Some people seem to belittle making old / current games better instead of making new stuff. As someone who gets headaches and eye pain from 30fps my library has been growing by leaps and bounds.
@The_New_Butler I am older so I actually played Superman 64 when it was new. I would rather play that again then this. You would think I was being overly dramatic but I am not.
This game was the reason I dropped the PS ecosystem and went all in on Xbox this gen. It was one of the worst games I ever played and destroyed a franchise for me.
Its a shame that now the Oscars have so little value anymore because of agendas and politics. You cant tell what is earned and what is given to satisfy some quota.
Yes. I was a Sony guy for years until I played TLOU2. I was so disappointed and bothered with that game I left the platform as a whole. So I would have gotten a Xbox even if it was inferior tech wise. I refuse to give Sony a dime again.
I stopped using my PS after LOU2 turned out to be the biggest disappointment I have even had in a game. I will never give Sony a dime. So to me it does not matter what they do.

Re: Ubisoft Moves To $70 Price Point With Next-Gen-Only Skull & Bones
I will never pay that for a game. I am old enough now to have developed patience. It will be on sale for $30 in less than a year.

Re: Flintlock: The Siege Of Dawn Dev Details RPG's 'Rich World' Ahead Of Xbox Game Pass Launch
@armondo36 Me as well. When it gets that label all I see is "do not bother playing it". It's made to be frustratingly hard.

Good. Let all the court cases be processed and completed. And once you have facts and judgments in a court of law make decisions then.

Glad I was gifted with patience I will not pay more than $40. So I will wait until then.
Re: Tiny Tina's Wonderlands' Xbox Upgrade Path Is Far Too Convoluted
While B3 was gorgeous at 120fps the story was horrible. So I will just avoid this game.

@trev666 Exactly. They are all about click bait and get traffic based off hate clicks and visitor anger. Its 100% the reason I am on this site.
