Andrew from Xbox Enthusiast talks about EA, Star Wars Battlefront 2's rocky launch, and why the company should cut their losses and gain goodwill from consumers instead of reinstating microtransactions, which caused controversy for the company last year.
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.
Saad from eXputer: "Despite the success of Hogwarts Legacy, WB's decided to focus on live service and I've lost all hope for a potential sequel."
Let's just chalk this game up as a fantastic one-off, and WB can go f******* rot in hell.
I have no idea how eceutive teams can look at both Hogwarts and suicide squad next to each other and go hey our critical and commercial darling was a fluke suicide squad was the real success they just didn't know it.
Seemingly there's some weird ego involved someone wants to be proven right
I bought thought it was okay first 10 hrs then boy did the repeative gameplay kick in
They will realize that live service games die pretty much as soon as they begin and then they’ll stop and we may still get a sequel.
Taking into account the skin’s styles, inspiration and final product, we’re going to rank every skin from the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 Battle Pass in order from worst to best
That is so awesome! I cant wait to pay...
Lmao
Believe me, they've learned, they've learned a lot since last gen. They've learned how to make the most money off of the dumbest shit, and it works. I don't even blame them anymore, I just don't buy their bullshit. Unfortunately EVERYBODY else is learning this too and gimping our games because of it. Seen some shitty shifty trends in the industry this gen just dipping their toes in the water to see what gets wet. Can't wait for next gen, gonna have to mortgage my house just to play one game :/
Microtransactions are never going away because sadly the door is too wide open now, but we can always prevent how much breeze comes through.
Not an inherently evil thing, microtransactions, and though I'll never support them I do believe if we are to continue to have them it should be used with the utmost care, as the author points out.
The best course of action will continue to be speaking up when not just EA, but any developer, tries to strong-arm the community with its vicious greed.
They learnt nothing and will continue to do so I'm not buying anymore products supporting this vicious trend btw FighterZ > BF2
Honestly it all depends on what they do this time.. if they add a whole bunch of new cosmetic content , it wouldn't be so bad. Sadly we are just having to accept that microtransactions are always going to be a part of big publisher games, I mean who doesn't like money? If they add value as opposed to taking value from the base experience, they can work though. Still, this is an EA bashing article so knock yourself out, regardless of whether they implement them better this time around, F**k EA!
