More bloat in the long run then but at the end of the day most people hold the button down to skip the cut scenes to speed run through it all.
It would be great if more creative/fun type of products with better physics (for example) are produced instead of these high end emotional cinematic storytelling games that we get today.
Live service games that people play and nothing else but that game is great for subscriptions. The player's, they end up paying more for the game throughout the year because you have to pay to play online either way and with people paying for skins it's a no brainer, I don't blame them especially when people buy it day one still.
Excluding the skins they would be paying like 200 beans for it maybe more for the first year.
@Stickleman Nagging children and folks that turned the correct age to play, my uncle who is now in his fifties bought it recently because he wanted to get back into gaming a little bit and he played the old ones so that's definitely one of the other reasons why it still sells well today.
@Balie3000 Yup correct just like Steve Jobs said.....
โThe only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste. And I don't mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way, in the sense that they don't think of original ideas, and they don't bring much culture into their products,โ
They're a company that borrows/extracts and seeks ideas from others by either stealing the source and then they happily go to court every time over it or they just buy the competition, absorb the market to stay on top making them the dominant leader whilst making their investors happy but deep down they're just a company that sustains growth via software and mainly subscriptions now leading those at the top to not have to think of new critical industrial game changing ideas like Nintendo, Apple or even IBM so that leads it all back to square one to what I stated, Steve Jobs said and what you stated, they are a clueless corporate entity.
What is the connection frequency strength like on this thing when going into a different room, can it stay stable?, I wouldn't mind getting one for chill out days in bed, I don't want to be moving the console all the time.
@playstation1995 word up son, for real, you heard it on a crip tip, crash bandicoot sold hella copies which is da bomb since they opened up shop on the real skirting down sm, hopefully they keep it trill/fire/fly & not off the hook for og spyro, you know wut I'm saying cuz because it will be wiggity wack ๐
Just thinking, if prices were reduced by eliminating expensive dialogues/cut scenes it wouldn't be a bad thing because most people skip them to speed through the game anyways, it is a video game after all not a movie.
Saving money from not using high-end graphics isn't bad either because most people get the wow factor for a short period when starting the game for the first time until they put the controller down, have something to eat and just randomly look at the TV again.

Buying Zune, Skype, Nokia, ZeniMax, Activision/Blizzard and creating a big bland black brick of a box like the series X sounds relatable.
It's that time of the year again, like turning off & on the router to get those correct speeds because it was on for way to long, it was social media recently and I can imagine it will be the same for Xbox soon.
I can imagine having the language for this game in either Japanese or Chinese will make the story a little bit better, I did that with the game Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty and it changed it up a good bit.
PS5 pro day one, not just for the better performance but for the fact that it was only possible for me to only get the digital version when they were in scalpers hands a couple of years ago, so if the pro has a disc model my nephew can have this original model for free.
No way, I've not watched dragon ball in years but Its crazy to think that it runs through the generations since it came out in 1984, even my grandad enjoyed watching it with me when I was a kid and he was sixty odd years old back then in the 90s.
RIP to that legend, that 9000 power level will get him too the holy gates in no time.
@JP80 Yeah, same but only tried the demo, it has way to much fantasy cheese like characters, visual effects even the music these days compared to Tekken 1, 2, 3 or even up to 5, I suppose it could be a Japanese style type of thing like many other game's but it's just not for me now.
At this point people wanting to get into game development might as well just study/learn/develop mobile games in python with advertisements thrown in & hope for the best. It seems more viable then working for some of these profit driven companies.
Yup, these days I would happily have games that are a bit like Elden Ring in quality, not super graphical but more in depth and creative with gameplay that can be played longer for the price tag instead of what gets released today which can be completed in 30 hours (3days) for 70 beans, Nintendo do ok in that playing field but you know, people are conditioned now, believing that if it is not super graphically intensive it isn't good and it's trash, I had this debate with a friend recently, a super photorealistic looking game in the future will not appreciate over time compared to a game that people can just hop on and have a blast with whilst becoming a staple like Tetris or Pacman (for example), a good percentage of games are just the same now but it's all about the story, cinematics and some Hollywood movie stars voice acting the games now not the gameplay, that's another reason why I stated Elden Ring but hey this what happens when it becomes mainstream, not like when it was a niche for nerds & no one else like it was in the 80s & 90s but here we are now, I'm not going into that dogma.
I like to think that, with what is happening within the gaming industry recently is due to the fact that GTA6 & the Nintendo switch 2 is coming out soon, everyone is going to flock to that game and nothing else, it's really gonna hurt other studios especially if they have a set release date at the same time as GTA6 but that is one of many reasons, I can imagine they have it in mind though and they're getting prepared for the setback.
scrumdiddlyumptious, giving us those old backwards compatible games that Activision has locked away would be sweet, if they're not cloud based on the playstation side of things I will highly thank them for that.
Ridiculous behaviour, I think these people's mum's & dad's never moderated their internet usage when they was younger. An internet time out feature needs to be implemented ๐, especially on twitter.
Just seeing... "sorry, our servers are in maintenance mode" makes me look the other way, sorry but no thank you.
When I bought elder scrolls online awhile back I landed on a serve maintenance day, it wasn't a good start for a new experience, it was the first and definitely the last.
