Yeah, WB is just late to the party. Sony was going to make a dozen different live service games, but they're reading the room now and cutting that forecast to less than half. With any luck, this is the tail end of the live service era.
Yeah, i meant more like the new ones since OP context seems to suggest future ones.
AGoT have really bad luck for games, that old RPG was decent RPG (but bad as specifically AGoT game) and the best AGoT games are mods for Crusader Kings 2/3.
At least it can still be played offline, though character unlocks do require an internet connection. They also replaced the krypt mode, which was itself pretty grindy, with a far grindier mode that's far less fun this time around, so a significant chunk of the value is gone.
Got gifted Alan Wake 2 and have played it close to half way through I guess. I liked te first one and have played through all other recent Remedy games too, so I’ve enjoyed it a lot. Also Finnish in jokes.
Other than that PUBG with the buddies is still on the menu a few nights a week.
I could see it working for a fighting game but it feels like they’ve whiffed them recently. Wasn’t Multiversus supposed to be a pretty big game? I remember it lasting a few weeks of hype and then going into hibernation, something about an early access release and then a season 2? I don’t remember honestly.
Mortal Kombat easily fits into live service bullshit, sadly, with all the skins and cosmetics that could be applied to battlepasses instead of cosmetic stores.
All the great WB games in the past have never had this kind of monetization. All the Arkham games, Harry Potter; it’s kind of sad seeing them take this approach in the future but it’s just a cash cow even with a few whales.
