@Voltan they learned from any subscription service since the advent of subscription services. You don’t need to entice existing subscribers unless they begin to show an unexpected level of churn. Loyalty doesn’t mean anything to a company. Never has, never will

Bought it on one of the numerous times it was on sale however many years ago.

Not sure why people think there shouldn't be a charge then, in the same breath, get bothered by studio job cuts.

That’s a shame

Anyway

It’s cheaper for people to get another copy of the game with shark card deals attached than the shark cards alone.
It’s a nonsensical total

Only if my Xbox progression carries over.

If my progress can carry over, I will. I have 1,080,800 in accolade points, an
~20k as hall of fame rank, and nearly 325 hours driven. Not doing any of that again.

@redd214 they mentioned cross play, did they say your current xbox account info will carry over if you play on PS?

@ThomasHL this is an excellent synopsis about Nintendo’s near future

Well, that’s what they ask for, that’s what they get. Gacha mediocrity

@MrPeanutbutterz followed up by another, equally, bad take.
Well done

@MrPeanutbutterz that’s a bad take. It’s , literally, the best for this type of racer. By a wide margin.

This entire article is like a foreign language to me.
I am old

Good to hear. It’s on GamePass so I’ll definitely check it out

None of this month’s selections are working for me.
Not even bothering to claim them.

@KillerBoy sorry, disagree on both.

Finally got around to finishing Cold Fear. Now going through No One Lives Forever.
It’s been a PS 2 couple of months.

Well it does have over 2 times the storage as the original. Seemingly overlooked point in the pricing.

That being said, I have need need for it.

Played of 500 hours of World on a PS4, I think I’ll pull through ok.

Intend to finish Robocop.
It’s so damn nice out though that I doubt it.

If it gets absorbed by Tencent I’m out.
I won’t play any game under their prime ownership.

People are still willing to pay, a premium at that, to beta test a game.
Oh well

The Show is really good if you’re into baseball.
Otherwise, oofa

As much as this title pops up in the news feed, it could drop off the earth, and my day will remain fine and unaffected.

I may be late to the party on reading this one, but I’m glad I did.
I couldn’t agree more with what he said. I mean, each and every point quoted in the article sounds 100% on the money. These ideas sound right out of a Nintendo playbook and why they have continued to be successful during this time. Think about how refreshing and interested people are with the new Zelda game or Mario Wonder. These games aren’t anywhere near as expensive to make or take up100’s of gb of space.

High profile, high cost game does poorly and that’s the end. Another painful reminder how risky the modern day game industry is these days.
A real shame.

Must be fun to wax poetic from the top of the money mountain.

@Nailz he started at MS as an intern in 1988.
So, no

Here’s an idea, don’t buy it then.

@NotSoCryptic sort of,
Japan plays Nintendo.

Was playing Rebirth, downloaded Sifu.
Would I rather chase down a chocobo in order to progress the story or kick some tail?
Yeah it was all Sifu this weekend. I’ll get back to Rebirth, but I’m stuck in the Sifu loop. First game I wanted to just keep getting better and better at in a long time.

I have only purchased 2 games at the $69.99 price tag, God of War Ragnarok and this one in the last nearly 30 years.
Oddly enough, the title I purchased nearly 30 years ago that was also $69.99 was FF3 (6) for the SNES.

I would agree. Never got into Halo even when the first was released in 2001. Gears is a much more interesting IP.

Sega.

There is no second place

I'm sure a lot will like this. I'll probably give Mafia 2 a shot as 1 was a very good game but that's about it.

Enjoyed it quite a bit. However, I played it on gamepass so I won't be able to play any expansions unless I buy the original.

Activision was up for auction. At the end of the day, it's better they went w/ MS as opposed to Tencent or a company of that ilk.

What premium games. Sheesh, this tier is a mess. Glad I only have it because of the sales for it.

Meanwhile, extra is firing on all cylinders.

They’re fine I guess. I already played AW years ago and , personally, don’t care about the other 2.
I can see why some would like it but none of them are getting added to my own library. 2nd month in a row that’s happened; some will like it, but I have zero interest any of them.

@Cashews goofy trash that will tank?
Yep. Any MH, SF, RE, or other solid IP they have, nope.

@Cashews Exoprimal is a new IP that has live service aspects. The thing would die on a vine within a month without some service including it.
And let’s be honest, even with it being on GamePass , it’s still going to tank.
If they included SF6 , you’d have a case, for Exoprimal, no.

Never purposely went for one. To date, I don’t think I have any. Most games get shelved when beaten. NG+ a few, never look at the trophies.

Surprised just how much fun I’m having with the hot wheels forza expansion.
That and going back to HFW and Dying Light 2.

@Grumblevolcano being that the first GoW came out in April, and other giant titles like LoU 2 in June, Horizon in Jan, i don’t think that is the case.
They definitely don’t care about a cross release with CoD, GoW will stand on its own and sell in any environment, against any potential competitors.

@Grumblevolcano I don’t think either of those events play any role into the eventual release of this game. This is a juggernaut that stands on its own and it will not compete with mind share or dollars of others.

Played 1 and 2 a lot on PC back in the day. Always a pisser to play.
Downloaded already through GP, will try tonight.

@Integrity Bethesda and Microsoft also have had a close working relationship over the years. All the way back to Morrowind for the original Xbox (not to mention PC).
In other words, the environment of the acquisition is more similar to Sony's acquisitions than not.

Mortal Shell is pretty good, it’s just that the enhanced version is out on Gamepass so I already played it on my SS. Serves no purpose to dl it again on my ps5.
I would have tried the full version of Godfall, but there’s no point in playing the demo being offered.
There’s only so much free time I have to game, I am not going to waste any of it on a Lego game.
So pretty meh.

Oof, this is a giant pass. Fortunately Now is having a bang up month.

Too much backlog to buy anything when first released. I’ll wait until a decent price drop like I do with every other title.
