How many people truly have time for a live service game these days?
The multiplayer action RPG shipped a whopping 2 million copies in its first week alone.
A nice piece of proof-as if anymore was needed-that a game isn't automatically a success if it sells "millions of copies."
I don't know if it's still possible, but if it still works, PLAY IT. It's a fantastic RPG on it's own, incredible graphics and story, well worth the Bioware name, i don't know how bad it was on release, but when i played years later it was a great single player RPG well worth playing.
Its has been on sale multiple times for like $2-3… and even when not that aggressively dropped, it is usually in the under $10 category of any sale
That’s good, but also worth pointing out that after maybe 3 months on sale, this game was selling for about a tenner. Reminds me a bit of Days Gone, good sales overall but only after huge discounts so unlikely to make large profit
GF365: "Among all the well-received and beloved video games, there are some that are horrendous. Here are our picks for the worst big budget games released since 2010."
Anthem; I'd forgotten that game existed. I remember thinking the trailer was BS though; turns out I was right.
"Worst big budget games" and immediately lists Genshin Impact, a game that has $4 billion in revenue.
$3 billion and counting along with alot of users. I disagree with that being on the list. This list is just a person opinion without merit
I havent played Genshin Impact and Mafia 3 was alright. The rest though I kind of agree with.
I loved the 1st Kane and Lynch and I could not understand how the 2nd game was as bad as it was.
The composer behind Journey, Austin Wintory, recently had a chance to revisit the classic game, just in time for its tenth anniversary.
My fav indie game ever, played this on ps4 and ps5. Too bad it does not have a plat trophy.
Nevermind live service, how about just completing a campaign! Maybe there are just too many games to play not enough time.
I know i have to manage my time better now but I always make time to game. Even if its just for 30-40 minutes. And in those short little segments I always turn to some of my favorite quick pick up and play games like Daytona USA, Outrun Online Arcade, Geometry Wars and most recently Nano Stray and Resogun on PS4.
When i have more free time is when I invest in much larger games like Gears 5, God of War and even some online stuff in Sea of Thieves. My kids are older now and they have their own gaming setups but I still have a wife and she still has a honey-do list for me every now and then.
Should immediately see part of the issue, given that live service games are relatively recent.
I play games now more in my mid 40's than I did as a teenager. I have a full time job, but a lot of my spare time is playing games. Being an adult doesn't mean that every minute has to be filled with doing things that adults are supposedly supposed to do. The busy lifestyle idea is just a fallacy to sell minivans, and too many people I guess feel they aren't adults if they don't run around frantically doing things. Plenty of people spend time doing nothing. Adults still watch tons of TV. I just choose to play games instead of watch TV.
