Just in case you’ve been living under a rock for the past few years, Halo developer Bungie dropped a bombshell at Sony’s PS4 reveal event in 2013, by announcing that they were teaming with Activision to bring to consoles a FPS/MMO hybrid called Destiny.
From the moment of the reveal the hype machine began, and the focus was on Destiny for the PS4, and while it was also launched for the Xbox One, the marketing for the game definitely gave consumers the impression that the game was best played on the PS4, and after seeing the alpha, and beta tests of the game played on a PS4, Toaster agreed, and added the console to the electronic village that has sprung up in his entertainment center.
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
They buy IPs not talent. That's why these buyouts never work and the IPs die. Right now it's too expensive to develop games - but I expect that to shift maybe as AI tools can make it easier. The best games have been indie games for awhile as big developers fuck their ips to death with "games as a service" -
While many are fans of the Honkai Star Rail story so far, The Nerd Stash believes that the deaths of Robin and Firefly no longer carry much weight.
Wardens Rising is looking like a promising new take on the ARPG genre, especially when played with friends.
Destiny is a clear example of over hype. The game is ok, nothing spectacular.
i will never ever trust a review on the internet ever again. how the fvck a game like this gets 6 ?! it's just baffles me. it's the best FPS we've had in years a breath of fresh air from CoD and BF...i hope it sells sh!t tons of copies so we can have a sequel.
1 reviewer might get it wrong but most of the reviewers have given it a low score. I don't think they got it wrong.
Its 7/10 game at most.
6/10 i think is bit low. But the game does deserve a low score. I have not played it in a day and half, and if it was great, i'd be playing it now.
I feel that a scored review was given far to early for this game. It's an MMO, there is so much more playthrough before an actual score should be given
