One Angry Gamer "Indiscretions took place within the gaming industry that may have compromised how some outlets promoted, covered and supported a certain endeavor involving a certain game. The ties to the scenario and the scenario itself has mostly been kept under wraps by a lot of the larger gaming sites so as to avoid any controversy. However, the controversy seems to be coming to them."
With so many games fighting for players' attention and interest losing out over time, time sink games are at risk of eventually losing steam.
It was worrisome to begin with.
It's a niche genre with only a handful of hits that can stand the test of time.
Only a few will catch on. You need a perfect storm to be successful in GaaS and a bit of luck on top of that. But a potential cash cow will keep them trying and some will go out of business because of it.
Helldivers 2 manages just fine…
Keep production costs low… don’t just make custscenes until the mechanics and enemies are perfected first.
Make so much content that you can drip extra content for years, and the game already feels complete without them.
Most importantly: make weapons, enemies, levels, and mechanics that will stand the test of 1000 hours. This might require more devs embracing procedurally generated leveled, which I think separates Helldivers 2 from Destiny’s repetitiveness.
Nameer from eXputer: "Some exceptions aside, I don't think the battle pass is a net positive for gaming with how they're implemented in most live service titles."
I like the way Helldivers 2 does battle passes. It allows you to make purchases on each level of the battle pass and gives you the option of choosing which item to unlock first. The more purchases you make using medals the further you progress. There is no timer and you can earn medals towards purchasing stuff via personal orders and Major orders.
I haven't played much live service games that have battle passes but I remember some games that have battle passes where you progress through it linearly using an exp system. What makes it really bad is that the battle pass will have like 50 or more levels with the cooler stuff being closer to the end. They also have an in-game shop that sells exp boosters so you can reach the end of the pass before it refreshes. Everyone ilse will have to grind their way through.
battle pass in fortnite is perfect; buy one and it buys the rest for every other season as it gives you more money than the first cost. so 8.50 and season ends with you getting 13.00, it pays for the next and you have some pocket change to save up for cash shop. All of which is optional
Sony is taking actions as video by Moore’s Law is Dead, has been issued with a copyright claim.
And people say it's all fake because Sony haven't said anything 😂 conveniently forget the PS4 Pro was only announced 2 months before release.
Just announce it already! I want to preorder one asap. But in reality they don’t want to lessen PS5 sales until Pro is ready to launch so I understand the business part of it. September is probably when they announce it with an early November launch like the PS4 Pro
I would take that video and upload a torrent of it, fuck that copyright bullshit. If your going to do something that has a chance of being taken down, make a torrent first share it. Then Sony or any other company is helpless and you can laugh in their faces, taunting them to try to take it down 🤣
As much as the PS4 Pro didn't represent a major % in the playerbase, announcing a 'better' model will hinder sales from the 'base' model. They are right, business-wise.
Great article
More ppl should know what a piece of garbage she is
"Funnily enough, the whole thing seems to have gained legs based on what people didn’t want the community talking about. "
They should have known better, but I guess that's what we have to look forward to if SJWs and feminists become the majority in gaming... Censorship.
I stand up and applaud every time I see a reference to "I have no mouth and I must scream"
I applaud harder when it's a part of stopping censorship in a corrupted media.
One annoyance of SJW is the "I do it to thou but thou better not do it to me." Damn hypocrites living in glass houses. Say anything against counter to their OPINION. (Cause obviously their view is the right one) And they throw "Check your privilege" Well yes I have and enjoy them very much. I'm sorry does that mean I can't eat my rice with out considering those starving in china? Not everyone has a bleeding heart.
opposing views can agree to disagree, but when one goes out of his way to strong arm the other and keep it silent then have the idiocy to call foul when it's done to them. They lost any credibility.
