@breakneck Just objectively not true. If you actually use steam and look at the top sellers, it's basically always whatever the most Recent AAA release was. And steam definitely would have made a difference, as epic games store is an awful platform that many refuse to use
Jokes aside, this game is basically a hail mary from Ubisoft. If this one flops just like Outlaws, it could be an unbelievably massive blow to Ubisoft. Which I think would be funny, but it's probably not good for the industry as a whole. I dunno, just gonna be interesting to watch.
@HRdepartment I literally don't care what they're protesting. If it's against Activision, they're probably in the right. And I'm not in support of people being lazy, but we as a society deserve better than the working conditions demanded by these large companies. Activision notoriously treats their workforce like garbage, and they have the right to demand better. Plain and simple.
We tried to warn ya Sony, but you didn't listen. I don't believe the claims this game cost 400$ million to make, but including the price of the studio purchase, I have no doubt Sony lost 500 million on this easily.
I was worried when I saw the pc system requirements. This game is probably gonna be a disaster on console, which doesn't really bother me. I was gonna play on PC anyway.
@XenonKnight Agree with the sentiment on refunding the game lol. I would too, cause this is one of the scummiest things I've seen. However, it has little to do with Phil Spencer. I highly doubt he told them to charge 20 bucks for "enhanced headphone mode." Even writing "enhanced headphone mode" is so dumb. How did we get to the point where this has happened? 20 bucks for audio? This is rediculous.
@XenonKnight I think that's a little harsh. At this point he's more of a puppet than anything, cause he clearly ain't the one making decisions anymore, that's for darn sure.
You know, I was gonna be snarky, but I do actually think the improvements look quite nice. Not really a game I like very much gameplay wise, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a fan of the new art direction.
@Gewertzx This is game is legitimately fantastic and of scope and quality that an indie team wouldn't feasibly be able to achieve. Pretending it's a lesser game due to being a 2d side scrolled is borderline childish.
@Gewertzx You can play monster hunter games entirely in single player. Many people, including myself, play that way. But you can play in multiplayer too. Coop is an option, but not the only one. Just comes down to which you prefer. But trust me, if the game looks at all fun to you, don't let the multiplayer aspect keep you away. These games are legitimately super fun, which ever way you play.
@Zemo55 Not really the same situation exactly. There's actually a rather weird and complicated history there. If the topic Interests you at all though, there's a really neat YT video from the channel moon channel that I would highly highly recommend. A long video, but worth the watch. But basically, it's not really the same situation at all.
@naruball True, but even then, I think exclusivity deals aren't the best way for indie devs to make money. Game pass and PS plus both shell out a lot of money for games to be on the services. Plus, many indie games see a lot of success from early access launches. Kickstarters are another good way. Rather that than lock it away from the majority of players.
Heck yeah, that's way sooner than I expected. I absolutely love the first game and miles Morales, so can't wait to finally give this one a try. Hopefully it's not too much for my system to handle lol.
The one thing that actually grinds my gears are people saying single player games are "better". Do I like them better? Yes. Do you like them better? Maybe so. But there are loads of people that don't. And there's plenty that enjoy both equally. I kinda see it as a movies vs. TV series situation. I prefer watching movies more. Some others might enjoy watch a series more. But we can both enjoy our different things without one being "better". And both things can exist.
