EA have announced they're launching a game subscription service exclusively available to Xbox One owners. If they play their cards right, it potentially be bigger than Steam.
Players can pay to edit their character, resurrect the dead and other actions.
Yet Helldivers 2 gets a pass? Y’know a GotY contender by the name of RE4 had them and so does Devil May Cry V. The funny thing is I enjoyed both of those games thoroughly without having to buy a single microtransaction.
What I do consider a valid complaint is not being able to start a new game or being able to edit your character. That’s kind of a seriously baffling decision, but then I think how I played Dragon’s Dogma 1 and I never edited my character and I just did a 100% playthrough on a single file and didn’t start a NG since. So, I don’t think these are really going to impact me, but I can see how it will others.
I was going to pay full price to support this game because I've been waiting for it for forever but I think I'll wait until I get it for free from Epic or a Humblebundle monthly.
I am not defending Capcom, as I am not a fan of MTX in single player games. I do however belive they were open to reviewers about having MTX in their game. The reviewers just decided to leave that part out. Which is very disingenuous. There are some companies that get away with these things. Image if this was done by EA, Ubisoft, or even Activision? I am positive those defending Capcom, would have had their pitchforks ready if the companies listed above did this
The Hogwarts Legacy video game is on sale for the lowest price yet. You can get the Standard Edition on Steam for $29.99 down from $59.99 (that's $30 off). And, the Digital Deluxe Edition can be picked up for just $59.99, which is $59.99 off its usual price of $119.98.
50% is about as far as I made it through the game too. It started so strong in and around the castle... $30 feels about right though
It's like they are pushing us away from gaming on consoles. The standard edition of this game is currently on sale on Xbox for $41.99, on PlayStation for $69.99 and on steam for $30.00. The PS store usually have sales on Tuesdays so hopefully, we will see the price being matched when the store gets updated.
The latest update overhauls certain aspects of the UX such as the process of adding Steam games in the cart without opening a separate page.
Well, exclusve to xbox one will already make it impossible and its called EA access, so will not have other types of games, most likely ever.
If it could span PC, PS and Xbone with like 50 developers on board then it could :)
But then again if i had wheels i would be a wagon.
One major flaw, its EA we are talking about. The most evil underhanded anti consumer gaming company out there! Dont let their silver tongues and trickery fool ye for they do the work of the the Horned One.....Belezebub! They also eat puppies and force feed ye microtransactions!
Lol yeah content is very limited and it be cooler if their was access to 360 ea games but atleast it's a start
EA Bigger than steam Bold statement lets think EA Games New and old = shed load games whist this not bad scheme. If you want to match against steam..... DONT!
Just plain silly steam no1 world wide distribution that has all major 3rd party publishers back catalouge inc some of EA older titles.
Your talking hundreds if not thousands libary of games Fact.
if your going to pay a monthly subscription to EA to play their old games, then you are a fool.
