For me they have always sucked. The only one I liked a bit was “1112” (also known as Fade), BUT the developer actually cancelled the last episode because they didn’t feel like making it anymore 🤬 So yeah it also sucked big time.
And the longer the time between episodes, the smaller the chance it would generate new sales because existing users lost interest.
True, but with that particular game what didn’t help either was that there were many years between episodes, it was pretty awful. It’s one thing I really hate about episodic gaming. But Valve already proved it to be a failure, only Telltale And Dontnod still do it (and they do it consistently right, to be fair).
The rest of the gaming industry has gone on to “Early access” which is even more awful. Rather than buying the first part of the story for a lower fee, you now pay top dollar for a game which isn’t even finished and never might be because once you pay them there is no real incentive to actually finish it :)
But really, most categories of mobile games don’t interest me. Arcade and other simple crap like angry birds never interested me even in the 80s. Adventures yes but they’re few and far between on mobile and if they are they’re almost always desktop ports anyway. FPS really really sucks on mobile for me, the input is just too crappy and the screens too small.
Nah. Playstation is the biggest threat to the Xbox. They sell much more than the steam deck. And they know how to sell a console by selling good games and not making only deals with repetitive “AAA” studios that poop out one remaster after another.
I think the fine is way too high for someone like him that didn’t actually make millions of the modchips involved. He’s really a fall guy, not a figurehead. It’s pretty unfair of the US court system to make an example of him like this. Yeah he did a bad thing but no, he should not be fucked for life just because the real leaders are out of their grasp.
It this kind of thing that’s the reason I’ll never consider moving to the US (and I don’t even like visiting). Its society is just too harsh for me.
PS: I do have to say his name is super funny, sorry 🤭
Well, for some realism I do understand you can’t think forever. Imagine someone asking you a question and you stay frozen for 1 minute. That would be weird 🤭
But the time in CyberPunk 2077 is too short yes.
PS: I wish I could reload my save game in real life 😂
I started playing No Man’s Sky lately, in VR. I played it closer to it release in the past and it couldn’t captivate me, but now I’m kinda in a tumultuous period in my life and the simple gathering mechanics make for a calm passtime.
It’s a shame. The GamesCom in Europe seems to be doing quite well so it’s not really a matter of “conferences are dead”.
I know conferences are no longer a place for big announcements. There’s no more need to gather all the press in one place, they can just do it online now, at a dedicated time when they’re not competing with other announcements in the industry. But as a visitor I really enjoyed going to GamesCom. Never been to the US so the E3 is not a thing for me but I’m sure this will have knock-on effects globally.
Not news as it’s 100% in line with their previous releases. I assume they are just paid by the console makers for exclusivity (though in this case not platform exclusivity but console in general).
The good thing is that the PC version usually gets the version that’s graphically improved, like the next-gen version of GTA V that came for Xbone as opposed to the launch version for Xbox 360.
I’m not really excited for it anymore anyway. GTA V was a huge disappointment, as no single-player DLC was ever released. I’ve never been interested in the online stuff so the whole game is a distant memory for me. I also thought the story lacked the depth of previous games. The three characters felt too generic.
What I’d be really stoked for is GTA: San Andreas for Oculus Quest. It was announced by Meta 2 years ago and there has been zero info about it since so I doubt it’s still coming. But if it did I’d jump on it <3
I think the story of San Andreas was pretty nice. It’s very much scarface (in fact all the GTA’s were like this).
The online missions of GTA V were terrible IMO. They’re pretty degenerate yes. But the Singleplayer was nice. I also love the social commentary on US society. I really miss the roleplaying that people used to do in GTA:SA MP (third-party multiplayer mod) but of course rockstar had to go and kill it so they could sell their shark cards.
Why do mobile games suck nowadays?
In the last 5-7 years I’ve noticed that mobile games have devolved info always online p2w shit...
