EA have some great franchises with a loyal fanbase. The petition is a waste of time and 80k signatures is not many compared to the size of the gaming community.
Kung Fu Panda is a great film. Prometheus is not one of my all time favourites but I have watched it probably 8 times its a solid film which adds something different to the Aliens franchise. I can not comment on the Kung Fu Panda but the game looks fun.
I always thought there would be another Getaway game. With the graphics and size of the game they could create it would be great seeing London streets as a game setting. But it seems the developer has moved.
I do not think the deals will really be much better than the Christmas sales. But if you want an early gift then its been worth it. Only 1% of those surveyed actually left the house to shop for a deal thats suprising.
Its a good game control will always be an issue when the port came over from. The biggest miss is user created content. Its less than half price on Origins atm if anyone wants it on PC.
Never played Destiny 1 so got nothing to compare it to. However for me the biggest issue is that for s social game its not very social. There is no text chat or proximity chat within the the social space or when you are out and about roaming around. I will get the expansion its not a lot of money for extra content for a game I already enjoy.
If loot boxes are to be deemed gambling then they need to be treated the same way across all games not just paid this must also include fp2 games. Games such as Paladins would also need to change how they are stuctured.
I think there are different issues here. Which are all getting put into one pot. Players hate EA. Many other games have loot boxes and nobody was really bothered about them before. The items in the star wars game could give a competitive advantage and people did not deem it fair that someone could buy boxes to give an advantage.
Better education is needed regarding them.Everyone has free will they are not forced on anyone. I have not seen evidence that its primarily kids who are buying these loots boxes.
Loot boxes will stay and rate the games 18 in the countries that deem the practise to be gambling that is all that will happen. Its in no way a victory.
The release prices have gone up but the way they reduce down in price has also speeded up. Either prices go up further or gamers need to accept loot boxes and microtransactions within games.
As for games going up in price everything has been rising with inflation.
Read the Steam reviews you will get a good idea about it. A lot of the Skylines DLC is overpriced for what it contains. Wait till they discount it down to half price.
The only way I would ever buy a game from them again was if they scrapped the trademark of the word Cyberpunk. I am suprised other people think thats ok and are willing to support future games.
Bought the game and love it. The game was always going to get hate so many people jump on the band wagon because its EA. If players were willing to put the time into the game then they could unlock what they wanted. Just takes time and effort. Sadly we live in a time where players are unwilling to put the effort into games to make progress. They also do not want to pay for DLC either oh and also want the games at a reduced price. If some people bought the loot boxes with real world money then who cares? You need to concentrate on your own style and make yourself a better player. A player with better weapons and less skill will be beaten by a more skilled player.
This should be renamed black week no longer just one day of sales. Not really after anything for the PS4 will pick up Amazon Echoes for my friends and family members
If everything can be earned through playing the game then what issue is there? So what if someone can take a shortcut to get something a bit better than what you have. If your skilled at a game that mitigates a lot of the advantage another player has over you with better equipment.
Gamers do not want DLC because "its content that should have been in the original game" or "I will buy the game when it hits $20" gamers can not have it every way they want. Companies are there to make a profit anyone that does not is a failure.
Liked the beta do not care about loot boxes or microtransactions will not spoil the enjoyment of the game. There is always going to be negavity towards this game because its fashionable right now with websites to hightlighting this issue of loot boxes.
People just see what they want to see. The guy said 40 hours so everyone jumped on that figure. Thats ignoring all the other ways to earn credits like challenges. Now they have dumbed it down so muxh its not even a challenge to unlock the charcters. As for the down votes the rate at which it was down voted shows that bots were being used.
The 40 hours is based on a lazy player who does not take into account challenges and other ways to gain points. He has based his calculations purely on play time nothing else.
Its shame there will be no DLC I find its a good way to support a game beyond the intial price of purchase. I will purchase this at ful price day one. I ike the developer. But I fear a lot will wait till it drops in price therefore I assume whch will affect profititability. I think the game will struggle to hit a million copies sold.
Delays will happen. But there is a lack of honesty from developers. Often games are scheduled to come out then a few weeks before they are like oh yeah were are going to delay it for 3 months now. They will have known for a long time that the project is running behind yet they spring the news on us last minute. I have cancelled so many pre-orders because of this.
People do not want micotransactions. Then i hear people oh I wait till the game drops to $40 before I buy it and then sell it 2nd hand. Gamers can not have it every way.
Games companies are a business not a charity. They make a product that has to be profitiable or its a failure.
If you do not agree with the practise of microtransactions then do not buy the game. Its pretty simple really. Its a vocal minority who seem to object to them otherwise games with microtransactions would bomb.
When the games indutry decides that it wants to be taken seriously and they have a legitimate show. With no adverts or sponsorships and its voted for by members like the Oscars then I will watch it.
