Are add-ons really necessary? Maybe not always. But there are plenty of reasons why DLC is still a necessity!
They don't make games like this anymore.
Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.
Agreed with those sentiments. The quality of the CPU controlled characters make or break a stealth game and they are pretty poor in all the Splinter Cell games by today's standard. This is what led me to playing Spies vs Mercs all the time in later games just to get a better stealth experience from a real person. Arguably Sony are making better stealth games albeit not Tom Clancy stuff.
You should stick with fortnite or one of the countless bloodborne style games then. What a joke.
I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.
They are making a remake, I think. I loved the original game when it was released, but I tried to play it again in recent years and just couldn't get on with it. The same with the older Hitman games.
Yeah chaos theory still holds up though I gotta say. If you’re a fan of the series I highly suggest you go back to that one. Ubi has said they are remaking sc for “modern audiences”. I don’t have a lot of faith for the future of that company
Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.
Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!
Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.
Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.
But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.
They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
Marie Dealessandri speaks to Borislav Slavov and Gustavo Santaolalla about “the new golden age of games music”.
I'm not even against the idea of DLC, it's how they abuse it, that is what I hate.
Like multiple season passes for fighting games. The price of these season passes are way overpriced as well. Some of them are priced at £30, and that is just insane. The worst thing is seeing idiots defend it and get excited about it, you people are complete mugs. They are laughing at your stupidity. If I was to buy Dragon Ball FighterZ today, it would cost me £44.99 for the standard game, £29.99 for the first season pass, and then £19.99 for the second season pass. So for the complete game, it costs.........£94.97. How can anybody say this is good value for money? This is just the start though, games like Dead or Alive and Street Fighter are even worse.
I am currently re-playing Dragon Quest 8, and after you complete the game, you open up a new area. If that game was released today, you can almost guarantee that this would be locked behind a paywall. This is what has become of gaming, and the worst thing is, you idiots allowed it to happen.
It's only going to get worse though. 5 years into the future, and I wouldn't be surprised if games have 5 or 6 season passes, and it's all because idiot gamers have no self control. They are quick enough to bitch and moan about this stuff, but they they still buy it.
It's weird to think there was a long time I was enjoying video games without dlcs, both in game and pre order bonus. The most you'd get back in the day was a tshirt, figurine or tin case.
I remember when the horse armour came out and I couldn't believe it and now it's the norm, sad times.
Because of the internet & online capabilities,the ability to download & it makes money.
There’s been some top notch DLC out there, but it only takes a few bad apple atrocities to tip the scales.
How can Fortnite still be in early access with a constant stream of $30 packs, when you can buy Witcher 3: Complete for under $20? Who you trying to kid?
