Nyko finally answers the problems being faced by its Intercooler for the 360. Three weeks ago, we reported that even Microsoft itself is having some doubts regarding the product.
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
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.
I like the sound of that!! I will for sure never support these gaas games.
Sony must be shocked at gamer's reaction, making them cancel a few of these and hopefully go back to the good heavy hitters they had us used to..
now bring on that PSPro reveal and show us some SP 1st party awesomeness.
It's pretty ridiculous.
Imagine having a breadth of data at your disposal to see the statistically low success rate of these games, only to be laser focused on the exceptional case studies.
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
...this is NOT how you handle a PR debacle that will lead to class-action lawsuits. Do a recall, redesign it, and say you're sorry....PERIOD.
I passed on this device. This unit uses the 360's main power for fans. I wonder if it drain the voltage supply to the Main motherboard. GO for a USB powered device. Eitherway I have played my launch 360 for at least 12 hours straight before and have not had a problem.
People are buying these cooling fans on fear alone!
It may temporarily save a 360 from going up in smoke, but it won't save it forever. If the 360 is defective, an external cooling fan isn't the magical fix.
Keep the 360 well venilated and instead of purchasing a cooling fan for $20 - $30, purchase an extended warranty instead!
This should go for any PS3/Wii owner as well!
Don't buy into this crap!
I agree everyone. If you have a launch console, you should let it fail anyway if it needs to, and get it repaired for free. You wont have any problems after that. This product is totally unnecessary for a recent console. Capitalising on people's fear, it makes me sick. And there's no denying the product is defective, reports keep coming in of more serious incidents.
Don`t buy this crap!!! It broke my 360 about a month ago now and I had to use my warranty with EBgames for a new one! First off, the fans start off kinda quiet then gets really noisy to the point where it sounds like the fans are grinding on something! Then, it makes your console cut off for no apparent reason! Then it will give you one red quadrant and a red light on your power supply also which means fault alarm! DON`T BUY OR USE THIS PRODUCT! TRUST ME, IT WILL DESTROY YOUR 360!
