Glitchy Tasty's Jayce Diaz writes on the recent announcement of Valve's plan to dominate living rooms - and how this would compare to the already available OnLive Microconsole.
"To be honest, it was only a matter of time before OnLive faced some serious competition. Valve has long been the king of digital distribution for PC titles, and OnLive definitely stole a bit of their thunder with their innovative "no-install, full-spec playback" design. They made even bigger waves with their Microconsole, a device that allowed full playback of purchased titles directly on your TV via an included controller."
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
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.
The latest update overhauls certain aspects of the UX such as the process of adding Steam games in the cart without opening a separate page.
Well console gaming, it was nice knowing you.
Now the comfy couch argument will finally no longer be valid!
Seriously though this is just amazing.
I, like many never had OnLive as an option.
If you don't have a good internet connection, with a sufficient download and upload speed, you're S.O.L. Sucks.
Onlive never had a chance to begin with .
Told you so , nothing prevents steam and the 3 console constructors to propose an equivalent yet easily better system .
Not to mention that they have their own content , onlive got nothing
LOL at people who think consoles will suffer.
