Episode 8
This Blog was purchased by EA and then shut down 5 minutes later
a)Make that bondage porn video you always wanted to make
b) Conquer your OCD / Make a cat happy
c) Anyone can make a sex tape but now, you can wear yours! Still not enough tape to cover Kim Kardashian’s ass though. Waiting for that 500 gig.
d) Make that ironic art project. For best results, use laser discs and HD dvds
e) Build the dang fence! Multi-lingual threats sold separately.
f) Explain to your kids early about how society works / Get ironic revenge on a hipster
g) Sony’s Next Challenge.
The armadillo returns.
I personally do remember Infogrames in the years prior to merger. They really did have a portfolio that stuck out and I enjoyed. I wonder what value they see in reviving it now though?
Sony is apparently experimenting with an AI tool that will play the game for you when you are grinding away. A PlayStation patent for “auto-play” mode would simulate your gameplay style in certain environments and apply them to skip that section completely. This technology would likely be built directly into the cloud-based PlayStation Network and be a new feature that subscribers would have access to.
Hah! Either will never happen or publishers will charge you to use this AI. This concept would only exacerbate the problem we already have with GaaS.
doesnt that concept already exist tho?
buy dlc to get a ahead in games? money, weapon and exp dlc come to mind but yeh. one more thing for them.to potentially charge for.
Usually, for GaaS/Seasonal games, you'll have to perform actions to earn specific in-game currency to buy things for events. Then they sell the currency with real cash or a third-currency to then buy the in-game currency items (it's honestly truly bloated to hide that they're cheating you out of money). With this, they'll just give you items if you do something 50 times or the like and then charge you to have the game play it for you. It's better, right? No currency shenanigans, just play the game and we reward you! But, the truth is they'll inflate the amount of times you have to play through content just to get the same thing.
Why?
Why not just remove the Grindy part?
I hope it's not an excuse to make them worse, but optional if you pay
This IGN blogger mode will allow 'reviewers' to play games like rest of us.
I will never forget watching GamingBolts spoiler video for Horizon FW and realizing they never played it. Made me wonder if they play games at all.
Duuro says: "I think the idea behind the movement is cool, but on the other hand, the execution and clear limitation of the platform somewhat undermine the whole thing."
Thanks for the lols man!
Good stuff as usual.
2-5 great stuff. Many lols, much win.
Man, that Nintendo video will forever haunt my dreams.
