@MFTWrecks even if they were given time to cook the upper management had been employing more junior staff into management roles whilst experienced staff were being ignored and leaving. All in order to save money and cut costs.
@nessisonett they’re a weird weird company imo. No one bat an eyelid when they brought out a near £1500 vr headset yet Sony sold theirs for £550 and is criticised by all. A 1tb Steam deck on Amazon at the moment costs £665 but because it’s Valve/Gaben it gets a pass.
@nessisonett Gaben not putting anything on the PlayStation since Portal 2 irks me more than letting TF2 go to the dogs and letting Overwatch take its crown. Switch got the Portal collection ffs!
Still working for me with full credits although I didn’t accept the terms and conditions that appeared on my screen when I tried to view something within the apps page.
I’m not paying up to £70 for a digital rental. There’s no excuse to charge the same price as a physical version when there’s no distribution and packaging costs anymore. Let’s not forget, there will only be one place to buy games in the future if physical is stopped so unless the EU want to investigate and possibly force 3rd party store fronts I don’t see anything but a loss to us the consumers.
Epic’s Tim Sweeny doesn’t seem so interested in opening up the PlayStation and Xbox ecosystem’s like he has been with Apple and Google.
Buying this would be a nightmare for me. Keep it in the box and let its value go up in time? Or pull it out the box and start playing games on Pro settings knowing the value has gone down?
I’m not bothered about numbers and user metrics when the matter of child pornography is not the first thing they should be addressing in their response to these claims. My sister is already worried about my little nephew playing that game enough as it is. They better address the moderation problems fast
Tried to order it online from Very and they don't have it listed. Amazon have sold out all their stock of the game. Just checked Argos and they're also out of stock for my area.
Does this type of game include them nagging about the littlest thing in their day that’s really upset them and you have to listen to them talk about it whilst walking the type rope of not saying something reasonable that gets them instantly upset with you?
Brief glance at another sexy girl at the pool only to find the one your with has disappeared to the hotel room and booked the earliest flight out there whilst on the phone to her best mate crying that I’m a cheating *****?
I quite liked this game despite having doubts about it being anything but passable when it first came out. The writing was terrible but the premise of the story really opened my eyes to how human dependency to tech can be to the detriment of us all (the poorer especially) and that corporations not being firmly regulated could lead us to this point in humanity.
Also, it was fun knowing two of the lead actors in the game (Jesse Williams & Minka Kelly) were having an affair during the making of the game
@GamingFan4Lyf That change should have happened a decade ago. They’ve been sacking their best talent on higher wages and getting in younger staff who can find themselves being quickly promoted to manager roles over experience
So they’ve ground down the share price down to below 10$ through their own negligence and poor business practices so that they can now buy the shares cheaper through a forced purchase and gain back their ownership whilst ripping off all their investors.
Nothing will change if they achieve this with Tencent because Tencent will probably take a back seat thinking these clowns are going to change things by bringing out more Assassin Creed games with the promise of a Splinter Cell game in the future.
@wiiware it’s been leaked by developers inside the studios to commentators online that they have been letting the skilled ones leave and have been replacing them with junior developers. Cost cutting measures, hence why in the past few years their games have been atrocious at launch.
Will be interesting where CEX are going to place a bike in their stores a few years from now. The glass cabinets won’t be one place it will be going in 🤔
Oooooof that stock price plummet will continue and the shareholders wanting the Guillemots out are only going to be further galvanised in warranting having them kicked out of their own company.
I came to the conclusion with the first game that it needed Keyboard and Mouse support in order to achieve success with the hard settings. Loved the game though
@Korgon did you miss the management behaviour with women? That’s a good place to start and the dragging of heels by the Guillemots to change the toxic work environment. They’ve been slowly burying themselves over the past few years ever since they stopped the previous buyout.
This reminds me of the time I had to sit in Ibiza airport for 21 hours due to my airline having a breakdown and having to bring another plane to pick us all up. I was so sleep deprived by the 20th hour that I couldn’t stop laughing when we all got sat in the flight and they handed out complimentary mini coke cans. A ingame trinket, absolutely meaningless gesture and of no value at all.
What film did Eli Roth make for him to be able to then go on a possession of crap films leading up to Borderlands that no one other than Randy Pitchford wanted making. Surely not Hostel?!?
