Stevivor, "Xbox's Larry 'Major Nelson' Hyrb has just tweeted about what to expect in the upcoming Xbox One update due sometime in the near future."
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.'
I am Rockubot and I approve this. Sweet and Awesome to know about.
I thought this has already been reported several times???
I might get disagrees for saying this...On this site, especially...But, MS's feature set absolutely obliterates the PS4's right now, and I don't see this trend changing as MS is a software company and the XBO app based OS is clearly a catalyst as to why these updates can be rolled out so quickly. With DX12 and cloud compute (sorry guys, it's real), I'm not sure what the PS4 will have to offer come next year accept for a couple of exclusives.
The PS4, with it's slight hardware advantages, actually feels more LAST gen than the XBO. I think that credit needs to be given to MS for how ambitious the XBO is, the risks they took and how they're working so hard to make it a great product. How can you not respect that?
Edit: Before anyone jumps down my throat and claims that I don't know what I'm talking about. My brother, also in his 30's, bought a PS4 around the same time I picked up the One. He's objective, and absolutely loves the Kinect navigation, cable integration, Smart Glass and the whole UI in general. He was surprised how impressed he was by the XBO, considering all of the negative press out there. Well, the momentum is changing and you can feel the "console war" narrative taking a turn. A turn that alot of people online will fight to resist, apparently. Alot of the more hostile ones can be found on N4G, in case you didn't notice.
MS, keep up the great work!. Seriously!
Lmao no Kinect...
