Canadian online gamers:
I know it sounds crazy, but maybe it is time to start thinking about selling or trading in your Xbox One? The PS4 is still sticking it to the Xbox One and there are no real signs of this sinking ship correcting itself. Here are a few reasons you might want to consider trading in that big ol’ black box.
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
Is Capcom justified in releasing the game with 21 downloadable items?
all which you can earn IN THE GAME BY PLAYING.. sheesh.. people need to chill and stop trippin'.
capcom has done this with every resi game since 2, with devil may cry 4 and 5.
we should be complaining about the poor Performance
I'll be handing out homework In the form of research on the essence of the boiling frog syndrome because the comments already are afflicted with this.
*Performance comment Is spot on 5+ points.
Accepting that these publishers have these types of mtx In games Is tiring, "well, they've done it with their other IP" so should we accept it? Your acceptance of it happening is ruining gaming, just to make it clear.
But it's okay though, you can earn the stuff ingame. 🙃
Having not actually played the game, but only heard about what microtransactions are on offer, no. Dragon's Dogma 2 has not taken microtransactions too far. I think a game would have to go to extraordinary lengths to qualify for the statement 'taken microtransactions too far.'
I mean, I remember a rant from yonks ago (Dungeon Keeper mobile) which, just from memory, went WAY further than Dragon's Dogma 2, with literal days of waiting to mine a single block, and a huge price mark-up to advance.
So, no, Dragon's Dogma 2 hasn't gone 'too far.'
Fudge that, just keep it and save to buy a PS4 along with it... No way I would trade in a system within a year or two of buying it, that's just a waste of money and you'll surely regret it when interesting exclusives start popping up on whatever system you thought you wouldn't need anymore.
1. The first argument is stupid and clearly shows you are not a journalist. Yes 18,000 jobs will be laid off in the upcoming year with 2/3 coming from the recent purchase of Nokia. Outside of the recent departure of the TV studio Xbox is fine.
2. Destiny is unproven. Also this is the reason you should own both a Xbox One and PS4.
3. Trade in value isn't a good argument to get rid of a console this early.
4. Yes Xbox One graphics will not match PS4 and it doesn't have to. If you have compelling games and services people will buy them.
5. I guess I can agree yet it seems their main priority is bringing great games and that is starting this fall with what I consider the best exclusive lineup of all other consoles.
At the end of the day get both consoles if you can. 2015 is gonna be great and owning both consoles will be huge in the future. As well as a Wii U can't go wrong with Zelda and Mario.
Trade it in for what exactly? I already have a PS4, Wii U, and a pretty powerful PC.
This article is ranting shire talk. Now I am the biggest moaner of how my X1 is just gathering dust - all I play on is my '4 and Wii U. But this guy is chatting pure rubbish.
