Well obviously? How many times does this common sense concept need to be reiterated

Godmars2902485d ago

Every hour of every day to EA, MS, Activision (?) and Square Enix.

Replace Square Enix with Konami.... squares been doing an alright job lately, tomb raider game is pretty good aparently

notachance2484d ago

uhh, the square enix that just released Octopath Traveler and Dragon Quest XI??

Lennoxb632484d ago

Multiplayer isn’t every company’s strongpoint just like single player isn’t every company’s strongpoint. But they can both coexist. MS can’t make single player games just like Sony can’t make multiplayer games.

PhoenixUp2484d ago

Square Enix? They release plenty of single player games.

Just this year alone they’ve released Lost Sphear, Octopath Traveler, Dragon Quest XI, and soon they’ll release Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Kingdom Hearts 3, Life is Strange 2, & Just Cause 4.

That FF15 is more an MMO than the game it was originally suppose to be - FFvs13 - is reason enough.

PhoenixUp2484d ago

You’re just talking out of your ass now.

How dafuq is FFXV like an MMO?

How is one game indicative of an entire company?

FFXV was released as a single player game with the multiplayer coming long after. And since it was DLC, you’re not even inclined to play it.

Godmars2902484d ago (Edited 2484d ago )

Is FF15 multiplayer now? Online multiplayer with a custom character option at that.

And its that FF has become a showcase franchise. Something that focuses on graphics and presentation rather than story character development/exploration or gameplay.

PhoenixUp2483d ago

If you think FFXV has no depth, then go right ahead I won’t stop you

Godmars2902482d ago (Edited 2482d ago )

Didn't ask if it has depth, you asked what makes it look like an MMO and asked if it had certain MMO-like elements. Does it or doesn't it?

And MMO's story have depth. Thing is, unlike what's suppose to be a definitive characteristic of a SP RPG, like an MMO FF15's getting a revised ending or story.

Never has, never will

Drops mic

Elda2484d ago

Of course it isn't. Next.

DangerousDAN2484d ago

Yeah, like a guy said before me. It's just common sense. Also, as long as people have the desire to tell great stories (which is an eternal thing), single-player games will continue.

I might get one in a couple years but I’m in no hurry. Nothing at launch I want to play.

GotGame81811h ago

60 fps Switch games with higher resolution makes it worth it to me.

badz14910h ago

you basically has no choice because it only has old games with ONE new exclusive and a scummy paid demo. old games are all you have and you fanboys are eating it up and let Nintendo get away with this.

PRIMORDUS1d 2h ago

If there are no shortages then why can't we just easily order a Switch 2 online, from Best Buy, Target, Newegg, Amazon etc. No shortages means we can get it by any means, online or in store.

kindi_boy4h ago

move your ass to the nearest Target or Best Buy and you'll find a lot of them.

shinXseijuro1d 4h ago

Maybe there’s shortages in Japan ? But they’re pretty much available lol

shinXseijuro1d 4h ago

But hey saying that creates more hype right !

Good-Smurf14h ago(Edited 14h ago)

There isn't one in US, I saw plenty posting pictures of it many stores in still have plenty in stock.
This is just them referring to stock situation mostly in Japan.
Sounds like he low key also spreading FOMO pressuring people to go out and buy one for no good reason?
It's not exactly flying off the shelves here in Thailand though, there's basically no real hype here at all other than the fanboys lining up for it the first few days.
You can easily order one right now in Thailand from all the official authorized stores, not out of stock at all.
The price of 17800 THB or around 550 USD here for a standard SKU and high game prices probably has a lot to do with it.

badz14910h ago

the standalone Switch 2 is more expensive than the PS5 slim in Malaysia and just $2 cheaper than the Disc PS5 Slim. what a rip-off

Ten Years Later - Still Going Strong: Dying Light: Retouched Update Releasing June 26

Hey Survivors! Tymon here, your favorite Dying Light Franchise Director.

It's been an absolutely wild month here at Techland! We're in the thick of what I'm calling the "Summer of Dying Light," delivering updates and big news across all three Dying Light games. Just a few weeks ago, we dropped the first gameplay for Dying Light: The Beast, revealed its release date, and kicked off pre-orders (if you haven't seen it, check out my last dev blog). I'm incredibly proud of what we're building with The Beast - it’s the culmination of more than 10 years of experience in open-world survival horror!

But here's the thing: we never forget where we came from. That's why, this week, we're not just looking forward - we're rolling out significant updates for both the original Dying Light and Dying Light 2: Stay Human. We promised to support our games for a long time, and we're committed to continuing that support, right through and beyond the launch of Dying Light: The Beast.
