I noticed that happen to me last gen. Most of my games on PS4 and Xbox One are digital I have maybe 5 to 10 physical games for each system. As opposed to the 360/PS3 era where I have about 20-30 physical games on each. I won't deny for me the sales just seemed better on the digital storefronts last gen.
I always preferred the actor that played Kano in the first Mortal Kombat movie. True fact it's because of the actor in the movie that Midway later retconned Kano's nationality. Original he was American but in later games he is Australian.
@antdickens I am so sorry that happened to you. So is it some sort of legal technicality that made them give you a refund? Like they had so many days to give you a PS5 after it went missing or maybe an insurance thing since it got stolen? Cause its not like they aren't getting anymore in at all. So why couldn't they just hold on to your money till the next shipment arrives from Sony when it does?
I played quite a bit last night since they had a double XP day and I did notice the SBMM. A few games In would be crushing the other team then the next match was really sweaty. I also seemed to die alot to the MP5 too, it seemed that everyone was using that gun.
However people need to chill the game hasn't even been out for a week of course there is going to be some fine tuning. Especially with devs having to work from home due to COVID there will be problems and it will take a bit longer to fix. However if say here in a month or two the same problems are around then yes there is a reason to complain.
However though their probably won't be a fix for the SBMM and that is due to Activision not developers like Teryarch. Time and time again developers like Teryarch and Infinity Ward have said that they don't even know how the SBMM is coded. All they know is that a is supposedly to help new players not get stomped and the more cosmetics and crap you buy from the CoD store the easier a lobby will be for you. This is done to get people to buy CoD points and spend real money. Even head of Teryarch David Vonhdar has gone on record and said he doesn't like the SBMM system but unfortunately his hands are tied cause in the end it's Activision who signs his check.
@saemir That has nothing to do with the reason for the shapes. They originally meant for the transition from 2D to 3D games. X and Circle were meant for yes and no choices, Square wasn't to be for menus and triangle was to switch view points.
Forza Horizon 3 (Xbox One). Still plugging a ay at this game. I am really enjoying it alot. Just upgraded one of my festival spots and unlocked street races.
Mafia II (Xbox One) Playing the original 360 version. Finished Mafia Definitive Edition a few weeks ago so I decided to start the next one in the series.
Forza Horizon 3 (Xbox One) Going to be continuing racing across Australia. I am having alot of fun with this game.
Mafia II (Xbox One). I finished Mafia Definitive Edition the other day and I am still in the mood for Mafia so it's only fitting I continue on with Mafia II.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2 (Xbox One). My teenage self is still enjoying this game hoping to clear out a few more levels this weekend.
@Gmork___ @nessisonett Welcome to Modern Warfare 2019 all it is is a camper's paradise. You try to rush around the map and you get punished for it. That's why I stopped playing Modern Warfare and cant wait for Cold War.
I have such come memories of playing the original. For some reason I enjoyed that game over GTA 3. Sadly though the game hasn't aged well so when they announced the Remaster I had to get it. Will be checking it out after work tonight!!
I bought mine about a month later. The PlayStation was the first console I bought on my own before that all the consoles I got were Christmas or Birthday gifts.
My best friend bought one at launch and I remember going to his house to play Tekken 2, Battle Arena Toshinden and a few other games, till I got my own.
@ShogunRok I assume you contacted THQ about it. If you did did they have anything to say about it like is it only happening on the PSpro? Is it a certain event? Hopefully they get it patched before release.
@PeakyBlinder It's not up to Phil Spencer or.any of the uppers, it's up to the consumers. And I never said that I believe that it will sell better then the PS5 or vice versa.
I can honestly give a crap about which sells more or what I am not one of those elitetist fanboys. What it comes down to for me is price and which console out of the two has the better library to suite my tastes.
I was just saying that Activision will probably look at the sales numbers and if possible either keep the exclusivity rights with Sony for CoD or move it too Xbox One which ever one sells better. They did it in the past, during 360 they were exclusive with MS cause that sold better then PS3. This gen they went with PS4 cause that sold better then Xbox One. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Activision does the same thing go with whatever sells better.
@MarcG420 You never know. The 360 did beat the PS3 up untill the end of that generation. The only reason PS4 beat Xbox One was because of the disastrous launch of the Xbox One. If it weren't for that they would have been pretty close.
I am sure the exclusivity with Sony will last untill sale figures from the PS5 and Xbox Series X start rolling in then Activision will redo the game exclusivity with which console is selling better.
@redd214 Mutant Football League is pretty "worthy" as you put it. There's even an option where you can turn off the field hazards and dirty plays and then it plays like a regular football game.
@get2sammyb Try playing Borderlands 3 in splitscreen and looking at your skills and talents or even try reading subtitles. Add to the fact that you can't switch to a vertical splitscreen to fix it and the game is just unplayable for me which is a shame.
@stuzster Well at least the message will be a step towards the end of console wars if a console manufacturers next console looks like a peace sign standing up.

Re: Hands On: Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning Has a Game-Breaking Bug and Crashing Issues on PS4
@Bazooka This game never came out on the OG Xbox, only 360 and now One.
Re: Hands On: Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning Has a Game-Breaking Bug and Crashing Issues on PS4
@ShogunRok Definitely a concern. Hopefully they will be able to fix it before launch.
