Bought QB pre owned for like $20. No way am I going to pay full price for this baby.

andrewsquall3089d ago (Edited 3089d ago )

Bought it brand new sealed for a friend for €20 for Christmas. Smyths here in Ireland still has it for that price a month later. The benefit of that is my friend was able to get the code with it for Alan Wake for his Xbone too. http://www.smythstoys.com/i...
I think you got ripped off regardless lol.

DigitalRaptor3090d ago (Edited 3089d ago )

Yep. I absolutely said this before and after QB came out. I pointed out the janky animations or lack thereof and that their modern shooter didn't even have a reload animation. I said they needed to stop wasting resources on those stupid live-action cutscenes and hire a better game designer instead.

I was hoping that they could take lessons learned and put it towards making Alan Wake 2 an amazing game, but it looks like they're going down the multiplayer route, which is a deep shame.

LMFAO @ Septic being all frivolous.
You could've probably picked a more meaningful response than that. If anything, they need to send some of their best to be understudies at Naughty Dog or just hire people from that studio.

Gazondaily3089d ago

Looks like they should hire you to teach them a few things.

candystop3089d ago

I wish they would hire me as there quality control guy. Sure it might take ten years for a game to come out but I'm going to them to start over everytime I see the vision slipping. What gets me is why nobody had the balls to step up and say something. Very reminiscent to scenarios like when your zipper is down and nobody says nothing or when something is in your nose and nobody bothers to let you know or heck even when you're being cheated on and nobody tells you. Grow some balls people. Smh

BizarroUltraman3089d ago

It's not a deep shame? Alot of games that started out as just single player, now have multi-player or online components.

Xb1ps43090d ago (Edited 3090d ago )

Remedy is like valve... no matter how many times we tell them what we would like they just don't listen at all...

How many times do we have to say aw2 just to get something completely different and now they want to tackle online.... they are too busy jumping around all over the place instead of focusing on what they do best and make it better... then jump into the next endeavor and work on that..

Lon3wolf3090d ago

A better engine than QB's too please.

andrewsquall3089d ago

The engine was fine, there were just massive compromises that had to be made when Xbone is your targeted main system. Here is a good list of them in this article. http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

Lon3wolf3089d ago

I'm not talking about the tech they put it in it but the blurry mess it is. If was a clean image they presented via that engine it would of been wonderful.

brich2333087d ago

Ran like shit on PC so engine was obviously not fine.

PS5/Pro/Switch 2 version of RDR2 seems most likely. I’d love a RDR3 but that seems years away

Cacabunga16h ago

Id be happy for just a 60fps patch

OmegaSoldati15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

Agreed, but at the same time RD2 came out in 2018. Could it be a remake of Red Dead 1?

Spoiler:

Marston died in the end of Red Dead and Red Dead 2 is set before that. Im curious now. What news could it be?

mkis0078h ago

I'm pretty sure the next game will be another prequel as the story really has no where to go as far as being a western after red dead redemption. The next game will end with the ferry boat incident.

Profchaos17h ago(Edited 17h ago)

Their contracts are iron clas if they leak anything legit they are threatened with immense legal action.

My hopes for what this is are minimal its probably a meet and greet with the cast

I dont see why they would be involved in a upgraded version of rdr2 when the dialogue hasn't changed

thorstein13h ago

He seems to have been cleared to do this as he purposely picked up the game, streamed it, and made the announcement.

How about an official level editor for Boltgun?

I’ll get Space Marine 2 when it’s cheaper. I don’t pay more than half price for short games.

Inside the ‘Dragon Age’ Debacle That Gutted EA’s BioWare Studio

The latest game in BioWare’s fantasy role-playing series went through ten years of development turmoil

In early November, on the eve of the crucial holiday shopping season, staffers at the video-game studio BioWare were feeling optimistic. After an excruciating development cycle, they had finally released their latest game, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and the early reception was largely positive. The role-playing game was topping sales charts on Steam, and solid, if not spectacular, reviews were rolling in.

HyperMoused3d ago

Its easy they called the die hard fans people in their nerd caves who will buy anything and then went woke to reach modern audiences....insulting the nerds in their caves along the way showing utter contempt for their fan base. very hapy it failed and any company who insults their fan base and treat their customers with contempt and insults, in future, i also hope fail.

neutralgamer19923d ago

It’s disappointing but not surprising to see what's happening with Dragon Age: The Veilguard and the broader situation at BioWare. The layoffs are tragic — no one wants to see talented developers lose their jobs. But when studios repeatedly create games that alienate their own fanbase, outcomes like this become unfortunately predictable.

There’s a pattern we’re seeing far too often: beloved franchises are revived, only to be reshaped into something almost unrecognizable. Changes are made that no one asked for, often at the expense of what originally made these games special. Then, when long-time fans express concern or lose interest, they’re told, “This game might not be for you.” But when those same fans heed that advice and don’t buy the game, suddenly they're labeled as toxic, sexist, bigoted, or worse.

Let’s be clear: the overwhelming majority of gamers have no issue with diversity, LGBTQ+ representation, or strong female leads. In fact, some of the most iconic characters in gaming — like Aloy, Ellie, or FemShep — are proof that inclusivity and excellent storytelling can and do go hand in hand. The issue arises when diversity feels performative, forced, or disconnected from the narrative — when characters or themes are inserted not to serve the story, but to satisfy a corporate DEI checklist. Audiences can tell the difference.

When studios chase approval from a vocal minority that often doesn’t even buy games — while simultaneously dismissing loyal fans who actually do — they risk not just the success of individual titles, but the health of their entire studio. Telling your core customers “don’t buy it if you don’t like it” is not a viable business strategy. Because guess what? Many of us won’t. And when the game fails commercially, blaming those very fans for not supporting it is both unfair and self-defeating.

Gamers aren’t asking for less diversity or less progress. We’re asking for better writing, thoughtful character development, and a respect for the franchises we’ve supported for decades. When you give people great games that speak to them — whether they’re old fans or new players — they will show up. But if you keep making games for people who don’t play them, don’t be surprised when those who do stop showing up

Armaggedon3d ago

I thought the writing and character development were fine. Sometimes things just dont resonate with people.
