I really hope Sony doesn’t do that. Then again, they will use the Xbox buying Activision as their main excuse to monopol… I mean, buy part of the manga industry
@ChrisDeku *sips coffee The UK is only a region, not a reflection of the rest of the World. Check the Steam numbers. Veilguard never got past the 90k peak concurrent players on opening weekend and it now sits at less than 60k this week. Even BG3 , a much more niche game, is still doing strong every week.
GameStop is currently giving less than $20 credit on Veilguard because of the massive trade ins received. Check the store page if you think I’m lying.
And the biggest indicator of all, Bioware canned all plans for DLC and future content for it. When EA, of all publishers, is reluctant to milk gamers with additional content on their games, you know the situation is terrible. Don’t rely on one side of a story or news article, get to read what’s really going on.
Sales are indeed terrible for Veilguard. It haven’t gotten past 700k sales and many are refunding or trading them in. Had Veilguard been a success, Bioware would have already told it on the opening weekend…
@Cerny “ 45% more compute power, only 10-15 frames higher? absurd” Not absurd at all, 45% of 30fps is close to 14fps. So it’s right within what you said. More raw power won’t translate in more fps if the game is unoptimized or fps locked to begin with.
@Jay767 No matter the amount, thought there is evidence that indicates the 400M including the purchase of the studio, spending 8 years, top money and advertisement on a game that sold 20k units is more than enough reason to hellfire the so called CEO
@ButterySmooth30FPS “It's our job as players to evaluate whether we enjoy things on our own terms.” That doesn’t hold true when the game is not interesting for players to begin with. When users scores get shown from actual UK9 players, I believe they would be worse than critics’.
@ButterySmooth30FPS @twitchtvpat It doesn’t matter, really. If said game of the new IP is bad, then it will be dead on arrival. Concord is the best example of that. I’ve seen critic reviews, not just users comments, pointing out all of the deficiencies of Unknown 9, and none are related to politics. Push Square gave it a good score, and that’s fine. But they are in the minority right now.

When will the industry realize that they should stop making games for an audience that will never buy video games?

Re: The Game Awards Under Heavy Criticism for Elden Ring DLC's Game of the Year Nomination
I’ll definitely skip The Joke Awards this year
Also, skipping Stellar Blade and Space Marine 2 is a capital sin, considering that very few new IPs were actually good this year

Re: Sony Comments on Concord Disaster, Says Game Should Have Been Tested Earlier
8 years, $400M invested, and they didn’t have the decency to test Concord in time!?!?! LOL 🤣🤣
Had they tested the game 5 years ago, they would’ve been back at square one, which would’ve been the sensible choice

Re: PlayStation's Dual CEO Setup Has 'Opportunities and Risks'
@Jay767 Draining $400M on a flop is a great counter weight to all the “good things” the guy has done.

Re: PS5, PC Flop Concord Never Returning, Studio Closed Down
There was no way Sony would recoup those $400M by relaunching the game. Let this be a lesson for those devs who refuse to give what people want

This game has been getting 4s and 6s everywhere else. So, a 7 is a generous score
