Imagine telling younger you with the Xbox 360 with Halo 2, Halo 3 and all the Gears games that Microsoft would one day be putting these flagship titles on the Playstation.
You’d have a game on the ps5, that requires PS+ to play online, but also needs a Nintendo Online account, AND a Microsoft account (since MS owns Rare).
The future is indeed dumb. The 2022 GoldenEye has it’s own baggage.
I don’t think Nintendo was willing to let Microsoft sell it as a physical product (collectors would view it as superior to Nintendo’s NSO requirement).
Forza Horizon is a great arcade racer. This is the first I’ve heard about the requirement, so maybe after it spreads online, there will be more vocal pushback.
Helldivers 2 is different. The game already released, and then Sony tried adding PS Account requirement after many people had already bought the game.
Forza Horizon 5 has not released on PlayStation yet, and anyone that currently plays the game does so on platforms that they do have a Microsoft Account. For example, playing the game on Steam still requires you to link a Microsoft Account.
The Helldivers 2 things wasn’t that the game needed an account, it was because it was added on later. Its also different from games like Horizon Forbidden West or God of War Ragnarok because both of those are singleplayer games and should not require any kind of account to play the game as they do not have online gameplay.
Christ, I can’t believe I’m going to have to begin a comment with these words so early in my life…
…but back in my day, the vast majority of the back of a game case was reserved to screenshots, and to describe the features and plot of a game. Not the intricacies of the T&Cs you need to agree to prior to playing!
I’m young and even this has me gagging. Our Switch games definitely don’t look like that, although I do feel box art and blurbs on the back used to entice me more, but maybe that’s just because I’m not a kid anymore. But yeah this is fucking horrendous to look at 🤢
Remember when Sony fans were laughing at PC players for refusing to make a PSN account to play games on Steam, even going as far as saying “it’s just a sign in, what does it matter?”. Will the table has turned.
Context is that this is an absurd situation I made up. ABC and CBS are two completely separate and competitive tv channels, just like Sony and Microsoft are direct competitors. Dealing with one to use the other is…pardon my French, completely retarded.
A nasza prawica pieje z zachwytu. Ciekawe czy tak samo będą się cieszyć jak Rosja nas zaatakuje a Trump uziemi nasze F 16 i rakiety. Myślicie, że tego nie zrobi? Właśnie wyłączył Ukraińcom ATACMSy i systemy walki elektronicznej w ich F 16-tkach.
Microsoft is really bad at first impressions. Like that initial Halo Infinite preview and the early Avowed preview with the skeletons and weird/lacking shadows. Or being shocked that the public didn’t like Redfall and that it was comically buggy. Obsidian is perennially solid, but Microsoft is at least a brand anchor with how they can’t seem to ever have foresight for any PR issues with their decision making
2 months ago I would have been curious why. But since finishing E33, I then binged all of NieR and I wholeheartedly agree now. I’d probably pay any price for another Sandfall game now too. As well as for any Trails/Kiseki game, but that’s literally it.
As much as I adore games like Witcher 3, CDPR needs to prove themselves all over again with Witcher 4 after the misfire launch of CP2077.
And I also loved FF7 Rebirth, it was almost a perfect game for me, but SquEnix really needs to make the impossible perfect game for the trilogy itself to make this journey feel worth it, so I’m so damn cautiously optimistic about the final game.
