Being the cheaper priced console and no DRM or used game restrictions has given the PS4 the advantage. Since then, Microsoft has reversed the restrictions which has lead the console receiving more pre-orders.
The Nerd Stash: “The letter scene in Grandia is a magnificent, layered early example of the game's wonderful NPC interactions, and a real tear-jerker.”
A third game in the Falconeer series has been announced as the second, Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles, launches.
While there’s a lot to love about modern video games, there is one trend — particularly in the AAA space — that tends to grate: their length.
Games are coming out with too much fluff and side activities that are horribly dull. That's my main issue with all these open world games. Open world should be about exploration, discovery and wonder, not have some stupid 10s or 100s of boring activities spread throughout.
I stopped buying overfluffed games like a decade ago. Cant stand games with the Ubisoft mindset of just filling maps with uselss collectibles and fodder. Make it mean something. Ill gladly take 1/4 size of the map and 1/10th the "content" if it all meant more, were more unique and greater affect on your progression.
Well people complained like the world was ending when a few games were six to ten hours of gameplay. Developers listened and started making longer games full of repetitive gameplay, time wasting fetch quest and other forms of bloat. In doing so they were able to justify the high cost of a game being sold to the customers at seventy dollars or more.
Filler, it's like a 80 episodes show where only the first and last episodes actually matter
No, perhaps after the first year but definitely not before launch or any time after. I think Microsoft feel like they've compromised enough for the moment.
A price cut would be a huge pain for retailers that are taking pre-orders. It seems unlikely to happen before launch. Maybe for the holidays but my guess is MS will want to do at least one holiday at this price.
They'll probably put it out there and see how it sells first.
No, MS will not change the price. They will next year if the price is not favorable.
Imo what I think is keeping the price at 500$ is Kinect and Skype integration, free access.
@CM lol yeah they do. They have a money tree when it comes to Tablets and phones every year but that money tree dies when it comes to game consoles, its dumb. Last I check consoles don't get released yearly, instead they get released roughly 7 to 10 years down the line.
So there's no excuse for not owning a game console that does roughly the same stuff your new Tablet can do.
Probably not. It would be nice but I think it's pretty unlikely and they're continue to spin it as a "we include Kinect" kinda justification.
