As more companies make the transition to web-based services, certain fees arise that have to be covered somehow. There’s hosting, server usage, advertising, and sundry other expenses. In-your-face advertisements and pop-ups are much easier to avoid now, but that in itself can make things harder for a web site or business looking to turn a profit. As gamers, most people are no strangers to the concept of subscriptions. The internet is littered with pay-to-play games, and big titles like World of Warcraft and EVE require a monthly fee. On top of this, services like Xbox Live and Playstation Plus are in place to offer something a little more robust to the people out there willing to pay a subscription.
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series
People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,
But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.
As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.
Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.
I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.
I think their both great service, although, PSN peeps are fortunate enough not to have to listen to a lot of little kids on XBL. I do prefer XBox online a bit more, but the sheer amount of great singleplayer games on the PS3 overthrow the online gaming on the 360.
Wii needs something like this too...
Subscriptions done right are a good idea IMO, but there should always be a free, lesser-privileged option for the sake of accessibility and variety IMO.
I definitely prefer the stuff Xbox offers me even if I have to pay for it. Well worth the money to me, can definitely see a case for it not being worth it to someone but I don't mind paying.
They are both completely different.
PS+ is a Subscription of discounts free games and also access to betas and demos earlier etc.
Live Subscription is built on actually paying to play on. Which is why people pay for the sole reason of going online to play. The features and stuff is nice on live but I doubt thats why people pay for it in my opinion. Then again to each is their own some might actually pay then to just play online.
