Starfield isn’t a system seller if you ask me. People would have waited for the reviews before spending £500 in a cost of living crisis. Those reviews were not favourable and the ones that were honestly felt like they were paid to say nice things.
The scrutiny on Microsoft will 100% increase if they try and buy other publishers. Because let’s face it at some point Microsoft will need to be stopped from creating a monopoly
Absolutely nothing wrong with this practice either. PlayStations still sell very well regardless. Great aaa games get into the hands of more players which helps when you want to make tv shows and movies.
This happens with every game these days. Resi 4 remake had the exact same problem. I’m sure that Zelda tears of the kingdom will get the same treatment.
At this point Metacritic is a useless tool to evaluate game scores. Or certainly the public part of it.
If you are going to put micro transactions in a game this is the way to do it imo. As long as all content is assessable from open play without stupidly high xp requirements I’m okay with them.
Microsoft don’t really bother to make grade A games! That’s the sole reason they don’t sell much hardware. Trying to force the market to participate in your hardware through takeovers is lazy. I constantly try and find a reason to buy an Xbox for the spare room but never find a compelling reason.
Why does everyone have such a massive problem with nft’s?? It’s quite honestly the best way to do any paid content. At least it would have resale value.

Re: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's First PS5, PS4 Campaign Review Is a Massacre
Microsoft will axe the single player eventually anyway.

Three people voting abysmal 😂 the bad reviews are always my favourite
Re: It Sounds Like PS5 Is Handily Outselling Its New-Gen Rival in France
@Rmg0731 I looked at metacritic the other day and the game got user review bombed with 10/10 perfect game. Ridiculous!

@BusyOlf was in my local yesterday and it’s priced at £20. I know because I bought the bloody thing last week for £40 😂

You can buy this in Asda for £20 now
Re: Lords of the Fallen PS5 Trailer Will Make a Blasphemer of You Yet
Waiting for reviews of this one. The lack of gameplay footage is a worry.

It doesn’t really looks smaller. Almost a complete waste of time

Tried both rdr games. Thought they were both slow and boring.
Re: Lords of the Fallen PS5 Shows Tons of Promise in 18-Minute Gameplay Deep Dive
I absolutely love that most games are souls like now! No sarcasm.
Re: PS5's Remote Play Portable Appears to Leak Online
Should have just created a remote play format that uses people’s phones or tablets. This design has a very limited market imo.
Re: Sony's Infamous E3 2006 Conference Now Viewable in Clear 1080p
Ps2 was the best. Back in the days when you could play pirate games on a ps2 by using a piece of tape to crack the system.
Re: Sony's Infamous E3 2006 Conference Now Viewable in Clear 1080p
I got my ps3 when gta5 released. So very late in the cycle and it was a super slim. Very good deal

The scrutiny on Microsoft will 100% increase if they try and buy other publishers. Because let’s face it at some point Microsoft will need to be stopped from creating a monopoly

Only one way they can work ellie into the story imo.

This takeover is dead in the water
Re: Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag Remake Reportedly in Early Development
10 year old remakes! No thanks
Re: Price of Fortnite's V-Bucks Set to Change in Select North American Regions, UK Because Inflation
Still insane to me that people pay hundreds of pounds extra to play a game. Especially when it’s all cosmetic.
Re: GTA Writer and Rockstar Co-Founder Dan Houser Unveils New Company Absurd Ventures
Expect games to release once every 10 years?
Re: Translucent Faceplates Finally Make PS5 Look Stunning
Bought the original darkplate wont buy anything else unless it’s a ps5 pro or mini. No saving the ugly original ps5 unfortunately
Re: Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake Back at Concept Stage After Total Reboot
Sounds very much like what happened with Metroid prime 4. We won’t hear anything about this project for years.
Re: Sony Won't Back Down on PC Ports, But PS5 Is the Priority
Absolutely nothing wrong with this practice either. PlayStations still sell very well regardless. Great aaa games get into the hands of more players which helps when you want to make tv shows and movies.
Re: PS5 Pro Is '100%' Happening, Says Reliable Report
Day one upgrade for me. I’ve enjoyed my ps5 but man I still struggle with the odd shape of the thing.
Re: Horizon Forbidden West's Burning Shores DLC Is Getting Review Bombed on PS5
This happens with every game these days. Resi 4 remake had the exact same problem. I’m sure that Zelda tears of the kingdom will get the same treatment.

Re: Random: PlayStation's Massive Marketing Campaign Even Extends to ATM Machines
People still use cash?
Re: Resident Evil 4 Remake Tops 4 Million Sales in Just Two Weeks
A complete reimagining of resi 1 would be epic.
Re: Resident Evil 4 Fans Aren't Exactly Thrilled with Microtransactions on PS5, PS4
If you are going to put micro transactions in a game this is the way to do it imo. As long as all content is assessable from open play without stupidly high xp requirements I’m okay with them.
Re: Rumour: Sony's Allegedly Cut PSVR2 Production Plan by 20% in 2023
Cost of living crisis, £550 🤷🏻♂️
Re: PSVR2 Sales Off to a 'Slow Start', New Report Claims
Remember a lot of people are only just getting a ps5. Can’t imagine they would be comfortable with spending another £500+ so quickly
Re: Endure and Survive HBO's The Last of Us on 4K UHD Blu-ray, with Over 3 Hours of Special Features
People still buy these? The PlayStation 5 doesn’t even run blu-rays!
Re: PS Plus Is Up to 85% Off for New Subscribers This Weekend
The uk included in this?
Re: New Resident Evil 4 Trailer Confirms Demo Coming Soon, and Mercenaries
Can’t wait! 2005 was a long time ago
Re: Xbox Series X|S Is Getting Trounced by PS5, Microsoft Weirdly Reveals

Re: The Last of Us HBO '10 Miles West of Boston' Gets the Meme Treatment
I really couldn’t believe how many Dunkin Donuts were in Boston. It seemed like every corner there was another one.

It’s a great idea for an attachment but I doubt it would sell many.

Re: Dead Space's Jaw-Dropping PS5 Remake Adds Extra Exploration
How a remake should be! Unlike other cash grabs.

That will add another 12 months to the gta 6 release schedule
Re: Immediate Backlash as Sony Asks Players About Purchasing NFTs
Why does everyone have such a massive problem with nft’s?? It’s quite honestly the best way to do any paid content. At least it would have resale value.
Re: Sony to Take Action as PS5, PS4 Owners Play Less Than Anticipated
People are back to work now rather than working from home or on furlough
Re: The Last of Us Remake Is Coming to PC 'Very Soon' After PS5 Launch
Oh! So this is the real reason for the remake.
