Velocity Gamer: Are the games that release every year worth the same price as the ones that make significant changes and improvements between releases?
The creators of the massive mod Skywind have published a long video showcasing their progress in recreating The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.
Although the company has released many albums, GameGrooves is ready to work with composers for a video game soundtrack.
Players are using hacks to gain an advantage in the game, such as aimbots and wall hacks. The first gives a player superhuman aiming abilities, while a wall hack lets you see through walls to gauge where other players are.
“These hacks are typically used by PC players, but those playing on PC via Xbox Game Pass are identified as Xbox players in multiplayer lobbies.”
This is pretty dumb to say the least.
That's a WTF, they suppose to be labeled as pc users even if its on PC game pass. They mess that up big time.
If AI keeps getting better (and it will) it's just a matter of time before there's more sophisticated cheats even for consoles, and they wouldn't even need to be running on it, I have little doubt about that.
Don't Gamepass online games have anti-cheat systems?
If not, that's pretty dumb. Microsoft need to fix that asap.
They won't ever fix this problem, unless they (developers, publishers, Sony and MS) go after the cheat providers directly. You no longer need to hack consoles to use hacks. During the ps360 days, they were going after cheat devices, but it was a cat and mouse game. These cheating methods were around during those days, it's nothing new, but they kept it under control. Since the PS4/Xbox one generation, they stopped going after these cheating devices and it became widespread. Which I find odd, since they started charging for online play (PS4).
Possibly, this is because the companies were going after cheats because the same cheats were being used to pirate the games, whereas today, the companies use online verification to prevent piracy, thus eliminating the need to go after people who cheat only to gain an advantage in the game. As long as the cheater remains below the radar, and does not completely break the game, the companies look the other way as their wallets are not threatened by it. (that is my completely Uneducated opinion on the matter)
I mean, COD games was always filled with hackers, nothing new. I can’t blame MS on this. Activision had years to try and fix this. Might take MS some time to make some change.
It all depends…
Microsoft’s guidance on how to handle gamepass on pc and their love to force crossplay with pc seems like a them issue.
And they own activision, so it is still a them issue.
Unless the improvements are substantial, then yes. but if I see a game that isn't putting in the effort, then no. No more Assassin's Creed for me. It's yearly and it's essentially the same people with a confusing storyline (after AC2, I couldn't follow the story, nor did I care).
Games need a leap to warrant full price. We paid $60 when it first came out, so why must we pay the same price again for an upgraded but not entirely different experience?
L4D and L4d2 is a perfect example of this.
Are Yearly Games Worth Full Price? NO £30 is worth it.
I suggested $50 in the article to be kind to developers, but I see them as worth about $40 personally.
Hell No.

No, but if people keep buying them why stop.
