I’ve had games where it can take a few tries to get into it. Some of them have ended up being my favorite games.

Started playing Horizon Forbidden West again on my Christmas vacation. I put it down after completing the first area, but have some renewed interest.

I am also finishing up Death’s Door on my Steam Deck, which is a great little game.

I am also going to try something I did in the past to help get me through some games. I’m going to set a goal of completing 2 games a month. The biggest issue in the past was not putting down games that weren’t interesting me enough. I have the free time, just need that extra motivation.

+1 Loved every time I learned a new mechanic through the game.

It’s a consistent issue for Microsoft releases. You would think a company that sells cloud services would be capable of having a smooth launch.

I can’t disagree with point 1 or 2. My biggest issue with Sony releasing games on PC has been recent. Trying to force their login is stupid. It doesn’t work for people not in their target regions. I’m not one of those affected people. I would also prefer if they would reduce the delay porting from console, but at least the ports are usually well done.

I’ll be honest, I was in favor of Microsoft acquiring ActiBlizzKing. I didn’t have faith in the existing leadership and Microsoft has mostly taken a hands off approach with its developers. Since the acquisition, things have been mostly OK, at least on the Blizzard side. The biggest issue I have seen has been increased monetization, especially for WoW and D4. Not game ruining, but concerning.

For this acquisition, FROM doesn’t appear to have management issues. I also do not like the direction Sony has been taking things, especially with their PC releases. They are also the market leader on Consoles, so I do not see this as required to stay competitive.

I’m excited to try this. I am waiting for reviews of how it runs on Linux and a small discount before I pick it up.

Please no.

No more acquisitions. They are large enough with all of the studios that they have bought. If they can’t compete at their current size, then they deserve to fail.

I think the cost of WoW has been fairly reasonable over the last 20 years. The subscription has stayed the same price of $15 per month the whole time, and if you know you are going to play WoW for the whole year, it is just $13 per month with an annual sub. The only thing that has gone up in price is the expansions which have gone from $40 to $50.

I think another point that you are missing is that WoW players often spend most of their game time playing WoW, which means they spend less on buying other games.

I bought the PS4 Pro as well, because it didn’t feel like a bad value. It felt like a mid gen refresh where we got some extra power for no extra cost. Sony thinks players care about the extra performance for another $200, which is ridiculous. Up until this generation, consoles got cheaper over time as they become cheaper to produce. This is the first generation (that I remember) where the cost has stayed the same/gone up.

I fully agree that at $500, this would be a no-brainer for those wanting the extra power. A $350 base console would be a good pairing.

Having the option would be best. If you are trying to save on data or have a slow connection, a lower red image might be preferred.

I think it will be common enough that they can easily access an auction house when they need it in the world. They may also introduce another one in the future, but at a higher price.

The thing is, they won’t be able to sell a Mount like this again in the future. This is kind of a “break glass” type of situation.

It’s going to sell like crazy. It’s not just that it’s a Mount, but it also has an auction house and mailbox that you can use anywhere at any time. The only other mount that has the AH is no longer attainable regularly, only on rare occasions for gold cap.

I am going to get it, but I’m going to use my gold in game to convert to bnet balance.

Could always install Bazzite on it, which would fix the UI issues and bring it on par with the Steam Deck.

SquareEnix agrees

Fuck Nintendo. I refuse to buy any of their games anymore. If its something I want to play, I will pirate instead.

Sony needs to stop with these live service games. Nobody is interested in a new one. Everyone who wants to play one, already has their game chosen and do not move from it.

Battlemage should have already been released. There is a decent chance we will see new GPUs from the other two in the next 6 months, which will eat into their shares more.

Have they fixed the performance issues with the game? I can’t imagine this game could run well on the previous consoles without them.

History doesn’t repeat, but it rhymes.

I’m not too surprised. They aren’t bringing in many new subscribers, so it’s time to increase prices to make it profitable.

I’m surprised they haven’t raised the prices. They haven’t gone up in a while while the “value” has.

I guess I usually skipped the race part, because I don’t remember that nearly as much as the guy walking up to turn on the lights.

Seems to have frame pacing issues in several games. Hopefully they can work out those issues with driver updates.

tldr, he was sexting a minor.

No doubt it will come to both consoles. I just wonder what upgrades there will be on the new console.

I think the FOV was for controller gameplay based on the controller glyphs shown on the screen. I would hope that the FOV would be configurable on PC at the least.

12 Sept for those who don’t want to watch the trailer.

I’m hopeful for this game. I enjoyed the first TDU back in the day, and I’d love to get into this one too. I’m going to hold off until other players get a chance to play it to avoid getting burned.

Are there any other major publications not part of that group now? Seems like a blatant monopoly.

The PSN bullshit has turned me off from Sony’s games. They make good games, but I’m not going to reward shitty behavior.

Frustrating that they made the decision in the first place. I’m still skeptical about their games in the future.

It’s said that companies can’t understand that pirating a game should be a worse experience, not a better one. I’m at the point where I only buy games on steam or gog. Any other launcher is a pain in the ass.

Also, is it just the sale that is causing it to surge? Has there been a recent update that has improved the game?

The first gameplay trailer I saw a while back looked pretty decent. Everything I have seen/read since has killed any desire to get this game.

I’m worried this will mean the game runs poorly on PC as well. I’ll wait for a sale down the line before picking this up, even though I really enjoyed the first one.

The beta starts soon but this game doesn’t give me much hope. It’s a cool idea to combine all of the heroes, but it’s being made by NetEase. The combat also didn’t feel very impactful and the environments felt a bit bare.

Marvel copy of an existing game developed by NetEase? Nope
