bbkpr, do games w Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare III Was November's Best-Selling Game In US, Already Second Best Of The Year

A $70 DLC (it was literally supposed to be DLC) is a best seller. That’s where the industry is now. Cool, cool, cool.

    Stating facts is hating? I play CoD myself, I just disagree with the pricing of MW3 for what it is.

    I did buy it, to play with my friends. That’s where they get you, if you don’t have the latest version, shitty or not, you get left out of the new game modes. I’m still upset it cost me that much for this warmed over turd.

    spacecowboy,

    Maybe we are just tired of the same fucking game over and over and over.

    You’re right, I did not. I don’t like throwing money at the same product each year. You’re also right, there are plenty of people spending money. People also pre order everything that comes out, giving studios cart blanche to release unfinished games.

    You’re all the reason the gaming world is so homogenous and unimaginative. Why create anything new, right?

    Yes, I’m not playing them because they are the same game every year.

    About as surprising as BG3 winning game of the year. Call of Duty just endlessly prints money. Even when they underperform they make bank.

    It makes sense, especially with US culture. Its the monster energy of video games.

    They have people on the hook for sure. I honestly think a lot of it comes from the fact that progression carries over for the people who have sunk a lot of time into it recently as well as bringing back older maps from the CoD’s I used to play and getting older players back in. I, for one am not buying any of it. I’m just kind of worn out by the whole franchise in general.

    I’m looking forward to jumping back in. Loved the story, loved the gameplay. I just hate having to wait so long after finishing a story to jump back in with new content.

    Itsamelemmy, do games w Final Fantasy XVI Is Getting Two DLCs And One Of Them Is Available Now

    Have they made a patch to let you require the worthless sword if you sold it before realizing it’s needed to craft a better one? Because I lost all desire to play at that point.

    echo64,

    Are you mad that you sold a sword? That’s probably one of the worst reasons I’ve seen for “losing all desire” for something I assume you spent money on

    Itsamelemmy,

    I beat the game. It killed any desire to finish the rest of the side quests/hunts. And I’m mad that everything that you get from the hunts requires a sword that got surpassed ages ago in the game, with no way to get it back or any hint that you might want to hold on to outdated gear that was worse than what you had.

    Basically, in order to craft the best gear, you have to do hunts for material. But you also need that sword. No hint not to sell it. And no way to buy it back. So no reason to do the rest of the game as you can no longer craft the reward for doing so.

    I have quit playing games over way less than that, lol. I have so many games I own but haven’t finished, and just as many that I’ve finished but would play again, there is no reason to stick with any particular one if I’m not feeling it.

    echo64,

    “not feeling it” is a different reason than “I’m mad that i sold a sword and can’t buy it back again”

    Buying the game makes me lose all reason to live smh. Should’ve bought something better like diablo

    newthrowaway20,

    I get how it sounds, but I had the exact same situation in it freaking pissed me off to the point where I didn’t bother with any of the other side quests.

    When the final upgrade requires you to keep a sword that was weaker than the sword you just got, and you’ve never kept another sword prior to this, it kind of makes sense that you think it’s okay to sell that old sword. Till it turns out you get another quest immediately after saying hey, if you have this old sword you can upgrade it. They could have avoided that whole situation if they just allowed me to buy it back. Or create it again, oh but it uses item quests that are exclusive to prior quests you can’t redo, so you really only get that one chance.

    Yeller_king,

    If they continued playing simply because they spent money, they’d be yet another victim of the sunk cost fallacy.

    ParkedInReverse, do games w Final Fantasy XVI Is Getting Two DLCs And One Of Them Is Available Now

    So the DLC is PS5 exclusive with a *. The * says ‘Not available on other formats until at least 31/12/2023.’ Not sure what to make of this.

    Carnelian,

    The game itself is also a ps5 exclusive currently I believe, with plans to eventually come to other platforms. So maybe just some weird technical disclaimer?

    ParkedInReverse,

    That’s a good point. Very weird disclaimer indeed, lol.

    imaBEES,

    So it’s only exclusive for 23 days?

    Really weird when the game isn’t currently on any other system…

    What a strange game. It had an amazing cinematic trailer, and cutscenes but compared to the game it was terrible, And it disgusted me

    heyfluxay, (edited ) do games w Beyond Good and Evil - 20th Anniversary Edition Arrives Early Next Year

    I’ll definitely check this out.

    I wish the sequel was closer to what we were teased in 2017(year edited) and not this over ambitious wreck that will probably never emerge from development hell….

    I’ve always had fond memories of playing the original on PC in 2003ish?

    Mammago!!!

    Chobbes,

    The creative director for the sequel died unexpectedly this year :(. It feels like a cursed game.

    zik,

    It seems like the sequel was doomed anyway - the videos I saw seemed directionless and didn’t capture the charm of the original at all.

    heyfluxay,

    Agree all around.

    I hope this show is about nothing but collecting forks.

    Well, it looks like Fallout. The people behind the costumes and set design certainly did good work. Hopefully it ends up feeling like Fallout too.

    Hopefully the writing will be better.

    I will never not be mad at that.

    Let’s take the show halo fans have wanted for decades now, bring in a bunch of people who know nothing about the franchise, forbid them from learning about the franchise, and then we’ll market to people who don’t care about the franchise.

    Corpo marketing big brains right there. Halo has one of the largest followings in gaming and still that wasn’t enough. Hell the fans would have encouraged others to watch but nooo had to make it bland and generic for non fans. And they didn’t even do that well!

    bring in a bunch of people who know nothing about the franchise, forbid them from learning about the franchise, and then we’ll market to people who don’t care about the franchise.

    That was basically what happened between Fallout 2 and Fallout 3.

    smeg,

    Oh man, I’ve not played halo since the 360 and I didn’t know there was a TV programme being made, what was it that made it so bad?

    scrubbles,
    !deleted6348 avatar

    It’s a lot of things, but what I said there was true. They literally forbade the writers from playing any of the games or reading the books. They wanted to “attract a new audience” and “make something new”. So now instead of the TV show all of us fans wanted we have something with master chief and if you squint your eyes it might look like a halo plotline

    smeg,

    That’s… a bold decision. Who pays for the rights to a well-known character/IP with lots of fans and then decides they want to attract a new audience instead? Guessing it was pretty poorly received?

    !deleted6348 avatar

    50% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Idk what the idiots in corporate marketing were thinking, but in my dreams they were all fired.

    averyminya,

    Hard to say but a lot of Amazon shows have been pretty solid.

    I felt this in my soul. lol This has basically been my state of mind for the least couple of years. I used to game on mobile a fair amount, but these days, I just can't handle mobile gaming anymore. I can't deal with F2P games on PC, either, despite having loved some of them in the past (Apex Legends, Warframe, etc.).

    Between F2P games, paid games with egregious F2P-style monetization, and soooo many AAA games coming out broken or just bad, I have been playing a lot of retro games, older JRPGs, and indies the last couple of years. I'm just so burnt out on the modern game industry.

    Globulart,

    There are some great paid mobile games too though.

    I’ve played nothing on my phone but bloons td6 for a year or so now, cost £6 and I’m nowhere close to maximising the content available.

    Then you have shorter (but brilliant) games like the room series, monument valley, machinarium.

    Not all are F2P microtransaction excuses with an ad every 30seconds. But I totally sympathise with the frustration and don’t play F2P mobile any more either.

    ADHDefy,
    @ADHDefy@kbin.social avatar

    You are right, I'm a pretty big fan of Bloons TD 6 myself. I've also played a lot of Osu!Lazer and some of the Netflix indies. It just kind of feels like the overwhelming majority of mobile games are predatory and obnoxious, but there are definitely some really well-done games between the premium options, console ports, and a handful of open source games.
