MediaStinger: "With Microsoft’s and Sony’s new next-gen (now current-gen) systems slightly disappointing in their first year on the market, 2015 is shaping up to be a very promising year for gamers expecting big things from triple-A games. Pending any delays into 2016 (and there will be delays), 2015’s Game of the Year is going to come right down to the wire with a megaton of new heavy-hitters."
"Rainbow Six Siege Major Manchester event was a showcase of Siege play and underdog spirit - with a few boos, some boozy chanting and a sweaty atmosphere."

Introducing..No Man's Sky: Adrift.A lot has changed in the years since No Man’s Sky released.
The new monthly paid subscription for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege has sparked an outrage among the game's community.
Paid subs are coming, and every company is investing heavily in them. From Microtransactions to this type of stuff, the community has been vocal about the issues surrounding ripping customers off, but we are being let down by influencers and journalists in trying to fight off these abhorrent business practices. Influencers and journalists don't say enough about how bad this stuff is. Meanwhile th soft buyers in the general public are getting more outraged by the day and whales are being exploited to pay too much of their own money for pointless crap.
A paid sub is partly why I think Xbox can throw Black Ops 6 on to Gamepass day-and-date and still think of it as "good business."
It's going to cost you and I more money and we will have less opportunities to play the games we want to play, as well as purchasing games we want to purchase.
'Kay?????
Because studios are aiming to have this as a mandatory thing. They want people to pay monthly for their experiences, like what you do for Netflix. They don't want single time purchases.
So says a friend of mine who's heard their execs say it for real. And they iterated that EVERYONE wants it.
Stop being stubborn.
Wait, so you made some hypothetical scenario up and just got mad about it? This is unhealthy.
So PC gaming kills subscriptions model, now they want to bring it back along with season passes, MT, dlc and whatever else they can think of. 🙄
What do you mean PC gaming kills subscriptions? PC gaming is what started gaming subscriptions in the first place.
Out of those I'm thinking about getting:
Bloodborne
The Division
Metal Gear Solid V
The Witcher 3
I was also hyped for Rainbow Six: Siege, but I might pass it if it's only PvP.
"Having an extra year of development time for their “next-gen” system, Nintendo was able to steal 2014 as Mario Kart 8 brought home the gold."
Really? Putting quotation marks around next-gen? I thought we were past this.
