It doesn’t scratch the same itch though. Battlebit is more for larger scale battles like Battlefield the game it was inspired from. Cod is significantly more arcadey, smaller scale and faster paced.
What makes you think that will actually happen? Games still make a lot purely from game sales. Not to mention a lot of absurd cash grabs like the latest CoD would fail to work when there’s only subscription models. Besides, despite how cheap these services have been, game sales have not dropped either.
That’s fine. Nothing is stopping you from dropping it once it becomes a bad deal. I cancelled Netflix once the price became ridiculous. For games, it’s even easier, there’s many alternatives both legal and illegal.
Maybe it’s because I was playing on PC but none of the games prior to 5 held my attention because of the awful controls. Then 5 lost me in under 4 hours or so because it just felt like a lot of nothing going on. For a game called Grand Theft Auto, there wasn’t a lot of Grand Theft Auto action in those few hours.
I haven’t had a chance to play it yet but I really like the sound of still having your weapon (even if it is naked) and armour even when you’re down. Feels like it would make respawning in the final rings a lot more viable.
A lot of posts like these also seem to imply that the open source community should somehow be less competent than these companies and are surprised that the open source community can fix these issues. But the open source community has a ton of very respectable and extremely smart developers, it shouldn’t be any surprise really.
