I respect your opinion but wholly disagree with H5 having the best multiplayer. In my opinion, Reach had the best feel to its multiplayer, up until 343 got hold of it and introduced their Title Update patch. I also say H4 was better than 5 and Infinite is lacking something I cant grasp, something is missing or maybe theres too much?
Whether or not theres competition in the genre, putting a release around the holiday schedule is usually a bad time for your game unless you are a top name in the industry. The most famous case being Titanfall 2 being sandwiched between CoD and Battlefield with Gears of War, Final Fantasy, Pokemon, and South Park releasing at similar times too. Titanfall was drowned out by relevant and irrelevant competition and was likely the best game in that holiday season. Simply delaying it to January could have been the difference between being forgotten and the next biggest franchise.
So yes, im for Avowed being pushed back
I remember seeing This video and getting excited
For its 30th Anniversary Magic the Gathering hyped up the return of $1000 card packs with the CHANCE of pulling non legal reprints of its original Alpha set, including the covered Black Lotus, that is…again…not legally playable in any format and is worth the same as a lotus you get from your home printer. For $1000.
And on a similar note, Massive Chalice is a Kingdom under attack from an otherworldly source. Do you choose to defend point A and let point B and C receive corruption points? Do you take your party of developed, well leveled but older than dirt characters into the fight to guarantee success, ensuring they die of old age while your young upstarts grow old and feeble from lack of combat experience?
Look, I get it, Microsoft buying Actiblizz is bad for competition and growth, but any argument saying its a monopoly is plainly false. Microsoft+Actiblizz doesnt even make up half of the available content in the gaming world, and im not counting steam trash or vis novels. In the gaming world a title by an idie studio could come out of nowhere and outperform any game put forth by the big 6 (now 5) companies.
Understandable. Xbox pays developers to have their games on GP and most games are on a timed contract. Xbox owned games are the exception. There are also a few games on gamepass that have been there for what feels like always, Slay the Spire, Monster Train, Monster Sanctuary, and many of the RyuGaGotoku games were on there, had the contract time out, then MSoft and RGG brought them back to Gamepass
FUCK YES BIG HYPE
