I have a feeling I will be returning to this game in the future and actually enjoying it. I think the anticipation (mine included) for this was just way too high and we were sold a lot more than what we got. But I think on its own merit, it'll end up being a good game to those who play it after the outrage finally settles and people revisit it.
Why does Aspyr keep getting rewarded with porting jobs when they do soo terribly at them?! Not to mention their "KOTOR Remake" that is a total disaster... I mean this game was not a good game to begin with. But they really barebones these out, have lots of bugs, and hardly make any improvements to them. The Battlefront ports were a total crapfest. I just don't get why Disney keeps going back to them.
@__jamiie Right?!?! A scam to make more money on controller replacements I think. At least 3rd parties are starting to meet the demand of hall effect in theirs. My Dreamcast controllers are still smooth as butter.
@Dampsponge It's like Games with Gold though. Meaning you get the game permanently regardless of if you cancel your sub or not. These aren't Game Pass/EA Play games.
Guess Purexbox is trying to be that random rage click reviewer site you'd always see way below everything else on Metacritic now? These reviews lately seem very uncharacteristic​ally glum.
@WildConcept6 judges in the United States have the ability to throw out frivolous lawsuits quickly if they see the claims are baseless and ridiculous. This is one of those cases that should've happened. And yes, while we will not know what the settlement entailed, as you pointed out, it does give that appearance of a payday for others. You know who rarely settles? Nintendo. They understand the importance of protecting their IP and setting a precedent that if you come at them with baseless claims, it'll hurt you a lot. It is worth the cost to the company IMO to protect your brand. Settlements can come across as admissions of guilt publicly, whether true or not, and like I said, invite more absurd claims. I still think the judge failed the most in this case though by not tossing it immediately, as it's so obviously silly to anyone with an ounce of reasoning skills.
What a terrible decision to settle, if that's what actually happened. You just encouraged more completely stupid and frivolous lawsuits to head your way for a payday. Judge also should've thrown this out immediately...
@101Force Do you understand what "on top of using profits" means? BTW do smartphone games, with terrible practices, that we core gamers hate make a lot of money? Not everything that makes money is great for gaming and plenty of that going on with Tencent... But keep talking about shareholders and the Hong Kong stock exchange and "so your saying" things that I'm not at all saying...
@101Force It's safe to assume that they'll be interested in propagandizing and information harvesting like they do in other entities of theirs on top of using profits to fund them. This isn't exactly great news for Ubisoft gaming future if it goes down as the Tencent monster sucks up more companies...
Purexbox posts an article about what players are saying about it with the headline "This is an absolute must play". Then proceed to give it a 5/10 2 days later lol
@Banjo- Lol exactly! Apples (pun) to Oranges comparison, comparing sales to streaming app fees. It should be the same/similar rate Netflix or any other streaming service gets and Google understands that.
@dskatter @GeeEssEff You realize they aren't selling any games on Apple right? 30% of Microsoft's Game Pass subscription revenue just for a native XCloud streaming app when it is predominantly used on the Xbox console by an incredible margin is absurd. Microsoft said they should be charged similar to a Netflix type streaming service, not charged like they are selling an iPhone game... You think Netflix takes a 30% overall revenue hit just to be able to stream on iPhone?
