I have hard time believing they had this great product they just didn’t want to support for a few years. Specially with how Sony has been dead set on having many live service games in its portfolio.

the previous CEO was dead set on that, but he’s gone

Blackmist,

The flop of high profile titles like The Avengers showed that it’s no golden bullet.

Some gamers love a game they can play forever. Maybe others gamers dabble in it, but it’s time that becomes the limiting factor. I know people that every year buy CoD and FIFA and nothing else, and sure, they make unreasonable amounts of money, but there’s plenty more on the table to be had from gamers who don’t like that.

    Tlou2 is a 2020 game… this is a bit of an over reaction don’t you think.

    It’s been three years. It’s 2023.

    The answer is “Yes, that was a bit of an overreaction. The last few years have felt like a lot longer than that with the pandemic and everything!”

    SatyrSack,

    I think it would make more sense to look at the gap between one release and the announcement of the next game. Things aren’t looking pretty.

    Good Naughty Dog.

    Must’ve been because it required more effort than releasing the same thing over and over for full price with a new coat of paint

    I wouldn't want to bank my whole studio on one title being a blockbuster success either.

    Especially after TLOU2…

    It sold 10,000,000 copies. It was the best selling first-party PS4 exclusive released.

    I know the loud internet people were upset about Girls With Muscles or whatever, but it did fantastic with normal people.

    (And will sell millions more when finally available on something besides PlayStation.)

    9715698,

    It’s the last game I keep my PS4 for. Once it’s available on PC, I’ll be selling it.

    MindSkipperBro12,

    It sold 10,000,000 copies.

    Ok.

    My biggest problem is that story doesn’t work if you do not sympathize with the funny muscle lady because the ending would be horrendous if you hate her, like I do.

    Grimm665,

    Did you play it? If so, fair enough, but if not you’re missing out in my opinion. When it was announced i never believed i’d ever question whether a sequel could top the story told by the original, how could it? Playing through it a second time i do have that question now, it’s that good.

    MindSkipperBro12,

    I had, I had a hard time with the conveniences in many of the cutscenes. The major problem for the story is that it really only works if you sympathize with Abby, if you don’t, then the ending just doesn’t… work.

    Grimm665,

    If you spent 16 hours of gameplay with Abby and her story and her relationship with Lev and Owen and the rest of her friends and all you came away with is that she’s “the funny muscle lady”, then ya you did miss out on this game.

    MindSkipperBro12,

    That’s nice and all, hey, do you remember that time that when Ellie pleaded with Abby not to kill Dina because she’s pregnant and then Abby responded with “good”?

    Grimm665, (edited )

    Ya it was an intense scene! Why do you think Abby had that response? Because she’s a purely evil twisted character? or maybe because she was in a fit of rage after

    spoilerlearning that Ellie had killed her pregnant friend Mel?

    Are Ellie’s actions justified and Abby’s not? Why? I wasn’t trying to be mean by saying you missed out on this game, if you think Ellie’s actions are righteous and Abby’s are evil, you missed what the game was trying to tell you.

    MindSkipperBro12,

    Ellie didn’t know Mel was pregnant. Abby knew.

    garretble,
    @garretble@lemmy.world avatar

    It’s been a bit, but I thought there was a scene right after Ellie kills Mel where she does realize that Mel is pregnant.

    Ellie doesn’t say anything, but Mel’s jacket slips to the side and reveals her pregnant belly and Ellie reacts to that.

    It’s been a while so I could be forgetting.

    MindSkipperBro12,

    I believe she started hyperventilating just from the realization, if memory serves me correctly.

    Bethesda lost me for good when they thought Fallout 76 was ready for release and refused to give me a refund when it very much was not.

    I charged back the purchase price and haven’t given them a penny since.

    FeetinMashedPotatoes, do games w Bethesda Announces New-Gen Update For Fallout 4 Coming Next Year

    And you can get it next year on sale for $70 because fuck you you stupid consumer bitch that’s how it works here in Bethesda! Now go praise Starfield you fucking idiot!

    SuperSaiyanSwag,

    Tbf it will likely be in game pass

    BruceTwarzen, do games w Bethesda Announces New-Gen Update For Fallout 4 Coming Next Year

    Fallout 4 looked like a last gen game when it released, does that mean it's gonna be a last gen update now?

    and we will buy it again. he figured out how to create addicts for a single game

    TomAwsm,

    More like “did it once”. Possibly by chance. Starfield proves that he didn’t “figure it out”.

    BigBananaDealer,
    @BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee avatar

    they’ve rereleased skyrim more than once

    TomAwsm,

    I just meant that they made Skyrim once, found out that they can rerelease it ad infinitum, but were not able to reproduce this success with Starfield.

    echo64, do games w Bethesda Announces New-Gen Update For Fallout 4 Coming Next Year

    I guess some people might be interested in that… fallout 4 is fine. I don’t need to replay it.

    Maybe bring that rumored fallout 3 remake out

    MW2 and MW3 were the first CoDs I played since Black Ops 2. I never appreciated just how good these games were. Feels a bit reminiscent of old school fast paced shooters, just… modern. And different.

    Well, MW3 feels like it, while MW2 has a bad rhythm problem with the movement.

    I usually play grandpa games. Rather play the Sims, Crusader Kings, Alan Wake, etc. I found it easy to do well in MW3. People mainly operate on reflexes so if you’ve been playing games for decades then you’ll also find it easy to do well, assuming you’ve been paying attention all these years.

    Aside from the price, MW3 is a great entry. Worth checking out if you’re willing to expend a tiny morsel of effort.

    Fucking embarrassing

    OmenAtom, do games w Bethesda Announces New-Gen Update For Fallout 4 Coming Next Year

    Bethesda and making the same games over and over again, surely thats good for future business

    DrCake,

    I mean they had a crack at making a new game and it’s not really worked that well

    OmenAtom,

    They made skyrim in space and diluted the content even more

    forensic_potato,
    @forensic_potato@lemmy.world avatar

    They really didn’t even try that to be honest. Bethesda has remained far behind and they don’t seem interested in changing direction sadly

    No thats good for current business. They are forgoing long turn prospects and instead settling for milking an already drying cow. At least rock star make consistently enjoyable products, but even then without the promise of gta 6, gta5 would eventually dry up

    Goronmon,

    The average consumer of games is a 12 year old with Mommy’s credit card

    Though I seriously doubt you are correct in this assertion, I’m not sure how this attitude is helpful?

    It’s like if someone said that the average person complaining about games online was just a loser living in their mom’s basement with too much time on their hands.

  • Goronmon,

    I never claimed you said they were losers, it was part of my hypothetical example. Are you sure you read my comment?

    Nothing was mixed up. You just seem confused with my simple example. My point was that taking an attitude of condescension is unproductive.

    And your premise is flawed from the start, as the average game is definitely much older than you are claiming.

    As long as fans keep paying full price for unfinished and buggy mess they will keep doing that.

    Haven’t played cod since black ops 2. Unlikely to ever play it again.

    Unless it gets very real and they do world war 1 and 2 or something. Not interested in being teabagged by a bunch of teens on multiplayer
