Are we ruining our own game experience with expectations?

Are we ruining our own gaming experience by letting expectations be set by different media sources, our friends and random strangers on the internet?

It's definitely shared with publishers and developers. Developers/publishers need to stop coming up with unrealistic timelines and instead concentrate on making the best game they can. That way they're not rushing the product to patch it later or trying to get all that DLC in.
As for us gamers, well.. when you're hyped you're hyped and we all usually do homework on a game we're about to get. We all have our own instinct or method, so what I say is going to be pointless, but I'll say we should never trust one site for reviews. Since journalism took a nosedive then maybe pick a review from 3 different places. One well known, another a person or youtuber you trust, and then one from a low key site. Then see what you think.

halo 5 is a great example of what happens when ppl get super involved in the development process. Just look how that game turned out when instead of relying on inspiration 343 industries actually let halo players, with no game development experience, inside to create a bridge between developer and community.

Sony just needs to up its resolution and framerate and it'll be quite the service, still don't like streaming though so doesn't really matter to me.

SpaceRanger1952d ago

Why is Xbox GamePass on this? Not a streaming service.

CaptainCook1951d ago

Xcloud will be included with Xbox Game Pass this year

RazzerRedux1951d ago

And they announced that.....when?

CaptainCook1951d ago (Edited 1951d ago )

@RazzerRedus
Here's the link from the engineers themselves talking about Xcloud at Xbox London Event 2019.

"There's 2 things.. We are going to give you the games you own from the cloud or the games you've purchased in the future, and we will bring Game streaming to Xbox Game Pass so you are Free to discover and play anywhere and everywhere"

SpaceRanger1951d ago

Once again, why is Xbox GamePass on this? Your comment only further proves my point.

RazzerRedux1951d ago

@CaptainCook

Thanks. I missed that announcement obviously.

Neither is Uplay or Origin. "Journalism"

2pacalypsenow1952d ago (Edited 1952d ago )

The only game streaming services are PS Now, Stadia and GeForce Now.

Xbox Game pass, Uplay plus and Origin aren’t streaming.

badz1491954d ago

Father__Merrin1955d ago

these cretins are all over ebay you search for a game key and something cheap comes up once you click on the post its actually not a game key but rather access to a account. theres no option on ebay to report them

arkard1954d ago (Edited 1954d ago )

Should be, what does not participate in digital sales (unless something changed im unaware of) so a sale like that is against there terms and conditions

I was wrong, they do allow digital items now.
https://www.ebay.com/help/p...

But I checked and there is still a reporting tool on the mobile website at least. You have to scroll pretty far down to get to it though

nucky641954d ago

not sure about that. i used to sell digital codes from blu ray movies i bought. i never used them so it seemed like a waste. i usually put them up for sale for a third of what the entire movie package cost me. the last time i tried to do this (around 2 months ago) i get message that trying to sell digital copies isn't allowed.

nucky641954d ago

so true. i was always curious as to how people were allowed to do that. now i know - they aren't supposed to.

Cyb3r1954d ago

Some websites sell accounts too Im surprised that noting is being done about this

JackBNimble1954d ago

And they're all stolen accounts

1954d ago
JackBNimble1954d ago

Why are they calling this trading accounts, this is plain and simply stealing.
