Osirus, do games w Microsoft will sell Activision Blizzard streaming rights to Ubisoft

I bought the last call of duty for modern warfare 2, ohhhh believe me… never again. What a fucking disappointment and waster of 80$ that was. The lack of content is astonishing.

sarge,

COD generally holds it’s value most of the year.

Buy physical, complete campaign, sell for 90% of what you paid.

BananaPeal, do games w Uncharted's Tom Holland reportedly set to star in Jak and Daxter adaptation with Chris Pratt
@BananaPeal@sh.itjust.works avatar

My first thought was “So Holland is just going to grunt and breathe or something?” Then i remembered that they made J&D games past The Precursor Legacy.

My second thought was that Chris Pratt won’t be able to do justice to Daxter. Get Billy West.

crystalcorvid, do gaming w Final Fantasy 16 sales did not meet high expectations, says Square Enix president

It's a surprise to no one that Square is disappointed in sales numbers. As the article says near the end they are infamous for being disappointed with not meeting very unrealistic targets. I don't own a PS5 to play it on, they haven't been in stock locally consistently. But from everything I've seen about the game, it's a middling to good game. So middling to good sales numbers should make them happy. And from what I can tell the numbers say that it's selling better than that.

I passed because it looked like FF DMC edition to me, not like a FF.

It pretty much is, but if you like DMC then you’d probably enjoy this combat too. The plot is.. extremely FF. For better or worse.

Turkey_Titty_city, do gaming w Final Fantasy 16 sales did not meet high expectations, says Square Enix president

FF games have been crap since 10. I bought 15 on discount and was completely disappointed at how bland and lifeless the entire experience was. They have taken the series too far into MMO land, and need to go back to focusing on a good story with good characters, rather than a 'open world' with fancy graphics and lifeless characters.

13 was also a incomprehensible joke of a story, which they padded out to become even more absurd with the sequels.

soapysloth73,

It’s interesting you say that because this entry isn’t particularly “open world”. It’s actually fairly linear with a focus on the story and characters.

The MMO comparison is still fair though because the zones are very reminiscent of FF14. They all connect to each other and can be re-visited, but you’re not really free roaming a giant open world.

Side quests are also 14-like and I don’t mean that as a compliment. Go to A to talk to B. Go to C to talk to D. That can mostly be skipped though.

“nooooooo turn-based combat is outdated and a limitation of old hardware, players don’t want it”

meanwhile, Baldur’s Gate 3…

Nefyedardu,

Yeah it makes no sense. "Let's ditch turn-based combat for and even more niche genre, character action! Surely this will make us more money, right?"

ophy,

A Spinoff CRPG Final Fantasy game would actually be really interesting, and a funny way to go full circle with how much the original FF1 drew from the likes of DnD.

ophy,

They have taken the series too far into MMO land, and need to go back to focusing on a good story

You say that as though FF14 doesn’t have one of the best stories of modern Final Fantasy games.

@harmonea@kbin.social avatar

You're not wrong, but a lot of people aren't willing to invest the subscription fee and the hundreds of hours they'd need to see that for themselves. And even as someone who's all caught up on 14, I honestly can't blame them. Time is precious, and it's asking for a lot.

@Raji_Lev@kbin.social avatar

To be fair, that has at least as much to do with the last few entries setting the bar so low. And even then FF14 drops a few stinkers here and there cough Company of Heroes/Titan cough Paladin questline cough

How aggressive is the in-game monetization?

Zoot,
@Zoot@reddthat.com avatar

None to speak of. You can earn the in game currency all in game, and they only thing you would use the “paid for currency” is for cosmetics, but again, you gain plenty of free cosmetics and even earn the currency required to buy the other ones.

I will say getting the currency is more difficult than say getting helldivers super credits, but it’s still a fair rate and the game just came out. I expect more “packs” or ways to make the currency.

Goodeye8,

Is there even a way to get the currency? The battle pass doesn’t count, that probably gives enough currency to buy the next battle pass when it releases.

Zoot,
@Zoot@reddthat.com avatar

There are no battle passes. You get “Decks” which are free and give you a few pages of cosmetics, or more currency to spend on other cosmetics in the “Store”. Idk it’s hard to explain but there’s no reason at all to spend anything besides the base game. Definitely not the deluxe version if you don’t care about cosmetics

Goodeye8,

From the discord

The Raider Deck is like a battlepass, where you can spend Cred in order to unlock cosmetic rewards. There are a number of rewards to unlock per page in order to progress to the next page. The number of pages in each Raider Deck may vary. At launch, the Raider Decks will be free, but you can expect a mix of paid and free Raider Decks as new ones are added.

Raider decks are battle passes. The industry standard is that the one that comes with the game (or a paid expansion) is free while all others require money.

And there’s no reason to spend money if you don’t care about cosmetics, but most people do care and the cosmetics are way overpriced.

Psionicsickness,

Cred is earned in game, not paid for.

Goodeye8,

I misunderstood the other guy. Cred is earned in game, but cred can only be used to unlock stuff in the battlepass. When it comes to the actual in game store you can only use raider tokens and raider tokens (with the exception of the ones in the battle pass) have to be purchased as they can’t be earned in game.
