It is baffling why Sony thinks studios who are known for their single player story driven games will all the sudden be rock stars at GAAS model games. No matter how it turns out, you’ve already got a dedicated fan base for these companies expecting a single player story driven game. These types of gamers have no interest whatsoever in micro transaction riddled online experiences. And by diverting developers away from single player content towards GAAS content, they’ll make worse single player games and half hearted multiplayer online games.
It’s only gone from digital purchase, no? You can still download it if you’ve bought it digitally, and can still play it physically if you own or buy the disc?
Every time I go play it I barely make it an hour before I get incredibly bored. I think the Bethesda formula really didn’t translate well to the bland space theme and has just run its course in general, at least for me. The nagging issues like endless loading screens, forced fast travel, miniscule carry weight, annoying UI, and lack of basic settings don’t help either. I know there are mods to fix some of those, but we really shouldn’t have to rely on mods to do something as basic as change the FOV in a game published by a billion dollar company.
Solid points. I’d of preferred they just made another decent fallout game. I think I tolerate some of their shortcomings in those games better because of nostalgia…
Honestly, I was surprised to hear that the game forces fast travel. I mean, a small indie company like Hello Games managed to make a procedurally generated universe where you can hop in your ship, fly off the planet, and either cruise through the galaxy or turn on warp speed and leave it all behind. Hell, you can even do it all in VR.
Yet, somehow, Bethesda made a space exploration game that doesn’t really let you explore space.
Of course, this is only what I’ve heard about it. I’ve been way too busy playing Baldur’s Gate 3 to play anything else. But my hype for eventually playing Starfield has dwindled to a solid “meh”. Maybe I’ll play it sometime when I don’t have anything better to do.
It’s written Al makhfi-المخفي the hidden one in Arabic. They should have mentioned the brilliant artist name hatem arafa @hatem_arafa The eagle he designed for the soundtrack cover is Even more amazing.
All I remember about this game was how the media went nuts over how many times the word “fuck” was used in it. IIRC, it even had a dedicated “fuck” button!

After just three years, Marvel’s Avengers has been delisted. Anyone who owns it can still play, but it’s a grim end for the live service. Multiple heroes from Marvel’s Avengers
It’s happened, Marvel’s Avengers is no more. Just three years after launch, the game has been delisted from all storefronts but will remain playable for anyone who picked it up before the takedown. You should still be able to play with friends, but any issues you run into won’t be addressed, and there will be no more events.
This makes for a pretty short lifespan, particularly for a live service with much grander aspirations. It’s also a far more dramatic move than most publishers would make, as many would just stop providing updates for the game. Instead, Crystal Dynamics owner Embracer Group has gone as far as preventing any new players from picking up the game, even though both single-player and multiplayer elements are perfectly playable.
Marvel’s Avengers at least ended on a slightly better note than it opened on, as the price was cut by 90 percent. This netted you the Definitive Edition, which includes all of the cosmetics and DLC for free. In practice, this should help Marvel’s Avengers feel like any other single-player game, rather than a live service that just had its roadmap come to an end.
Alas, the Steam reviews were still “mixed” by the time Embracer pulled the plug, so its chance for a comeback seems to have come and gone. Admittedly, there’s a reason support didn’t last long, as it struggled to find its audience in a sea of other live services. Met with mixed reviews from launch too, its audience quickly grew frustrated with its online elements, including controversial paid XP boosters around a year after launch. In terms of sales, it performed below expectations but continued to receive updates and expansions regardless.
Through it all, it retained a dedicated, if often frustrated, audience. They were never afraid to make their grievances known, but they would stick with the live service through thick and thin. However, it seems that this just wasn’t enough to please Embracer Group when it acquired Crystal Dynamics in 2022.
We’ll have to see how the future fares for Marvel’s Avengers, now that it’s been delisted. The generous 90 percent off sale is likely to have enticed a few would-be players who were on the fence throughout the game’s online run, so who knows? Maybe it will pick up a cult following through its offline offerings. Yet this probably won’t be enough to secure the sequel that some fans were after, especially with Embracer Group tightening its purse strings in recent weeks. In practice, this has led to numerous layoffs across many of the studios it owns, so hardly a time that Embracer bosses would want to take a risk on a series that’s already failed once. "
At first I thought, “Oh cool, they’re showing what the game used to look like before they reveal the new graphics.” But that is what the game looks like…? I mean, the before and after comparison footage looks completely identical, doesn’t it? It’s October 1st, not April. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.
I went to watch the video with very low expectation after your comments and yet I was still really disappointed. It looks worse than the original to me, because it lost that early 3D look due to higher res textures here and there and now it’s just hideous.
Well, this class overhaul is one of the biggest things they’ll have done. Crafting is in and helps a lot. They’ve also worked out most of the bugs, and if i remember correctly, you can play solo now?
Molyneux’s great sin is the inability to shut the fuck up while he’s ahead. lt’s hard to explain how much weight this guy carried in the 90s/very early 00s but he was the guy that did Populus, Dungeon Keeper, and Syndicate. And then he just kept over-promising and fucking up for a whole decade.
If he’d kept it reasonable he might still carry some of that weight but he cannot stop promising the moon and then delivering mediocre shit. It would be like Miyamoto releasing flappy bird with NFTs instead of the next Zelda game. God he’s so frustrating.
