IGN - We ask the question "How does Microsoft's game-sharing system match up against Steam's?" this week on Podcast Unlocked after Steam announced a similar service to the one on Xbox One.
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
Microsoft has announced the Microsoft Rewards app on Xbox will be discontinued in April and has confirmed that weekly streaks will also be coming to an end.
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.
Obviously the Xbox One since you can share physical copies now unlike before.
i prefer sonys scheme cause it allows co-op play with one purchase. Wish they would go back to 5 systems though
nobody had a problem with family share...they had a problem with the verification system and MS did not have answers to basic consumer questions.
Interestingly, vita tv is gonna make a lot of people go digital...the key is that we still have a choice, which makes it feel less authoritarian.
Sony does it best!
they both do it equally as awful.
steam does everything better than ps4 and xbox1 and Nintendo combined could ever do if they tried as hard as they possibly could
xbox1 and ps4's live and psn services are pure trash compared to the beauty that is steam
mods, greenlight, community, sales, early access
a library of 20,000 games, cross party chat across multiple operating systems and game clients
launch any game of thousands with the click of a button, real time updates, auto patching, free to play games that look better than anything ps4 and xbox1 will ever have
there is nothing xbox1 and ps4 will ever have over steam, EVER!
ps4, which is supposedly the "strongest" of the weak next gen consoles cannot even run bf4 in medium settings at 1080p
so, yeah
steam is FAR better, origin is better than xbox live and psn, and origin sucks...lol
