"i refuse to buy games on Day 1 heck i have stopped buying game all together thanks to gamepass"
*looks at pfp*
Since when is Elden Ring on Gamepass?
@Wretchedstain
I don't see there being an issue with the grind. All of a sudden gamers don't like to earn things in games, when did this happen? I play the GT Series Championship at least once a day on GT7. 5 races $60k each for first place ($90k with the clean race bonus) then $150k for winning the Championship outright. That's $450k ($600k with clean race bonus in all 5 races) for about an hour to an hour and 15 minutes of actually playing the game.

"The entire interview they just slide around the fact they realize most gamers are finding this gross, and another potential jab into gaming as a whole."
Most gamers once found the "always online" concept and the inability to trade/share games to be "gross" and "another potential jab to the industry as a whole". Fast forward nearly a decade and now everywhere you turn someone is evangelizing in the name of Gamepass and less and less hard ...
But the real question is are CD a top 10 dev? They can have a strong backlog yet still have 10 studios be better than them currently.
In no particular order off the top of my head...
Rockstar
Insomniac
Rocksteady
Naughty Dog
Guerrilla Games
Sucker Punch
Santa Monica
Bethesda Game Studios
Id Software
Arkane Studios
I'm sure there's many more that oth...
@DJStotty
Yes they grew by 2 million in 10 months for users that have at least subbed for a month, but that in no way means that 20 million is concurrent. If it was MS would definitely say so, but instead they (to my knowledge) have never given concrete numbers on how many subs are concurrent.
@DJStotty
Well in terms of Halo at least people only need GP in order to play the campaign, then if they want they could just play MP for free without GP if I'm remembering that correctly.
Also I'm pretty sure those 20+M have yet to be confirmed as concurrent subs, unless you saw MS confirm otherwise?
@isarai
As long as EA's Fifa games bring in dump trucks full of cash FIFA could care less about the quality of the games. Don't be foolish enough to think FIFA cares, they just see how valuable the franchise is so they want more money upfront.
@Notellin
So you just conveniently forgetting they also bought Naughty Dog and Guerrilla? And this year alone they bought Housemarque, Nixxes, Firesprite and Fubrick on top of Bluepoint.
Actually Kratos isn't white he's Greek...but ok.
They'll probably say the same thing those people who said exclusives were anti-consumer said after they got a brand new exclusive publisher.
@medman
I agree the more the merrier, but if I could only choose one more to be made I'm definitely gonna need a Black Panther game the most.
You say that as if they've made any notable "original" AAA IPs in the last decade outside of Sunset Overdrive. I feel like they were kind of struggling to find their next big IP and Spider-man fell right into their lap solving that problem, because they've been living on R&C forever.
They should definitely bring back Resistance at some point tho!
I'd rather see Insomniac tackle a Black Panther game. There would be so much they could do with that lore and the various landscapes would be perfect for open world exploration and traversal. And not to mention all the cool upgrades they could have via the advanced Wakandan tech and vibranium alongside the mystical elements of Bast the panther god.
I love Captain America but a Black Panther game done right would be far more ambitious and compelling imo.
3 out of 18 trailers being superhero IPs = "so much"?
@UltraNova
They kept Tyr alive for a reason, they made sure in the first game that we all knew Tyr was traveling between mythologies and Mimir specifically describes Egyptian Mythology when they were in Tyr's vault. So it's very likely that's where they are headed next, whether it be Kratos with Atreus or Atreus by himself. Also I remember Cory saying he had 5 games worth of story so this isn't the end of this story even if they leave Norse lore behind.
If you are talking about when Abby says hi to Bear at the hospital just before she goes into the Rat King boss then Bear should still be there. That scene happens prior to Ellie arriving at the hospital which is why everyonw is still around.
Imagine hating something so much that you constantly expose yourself to it for more than a year!
So I take it you didn't read where the article says this was inspired by a piece of artwork from DeviantArt that was posted back in 2016 when TLOU2 was first revealed?
Considering Playstation's sales history and the global situation we are currently in...yes, yes it is very impressive what PS5 has accomplished.
If someone doesn't have time to play through a 13 hr game a second time then they shouldn't be trying to get the plat in the first place. How do you not have time to do a straight play through on a higher difficulty but you have time to search for every collectible? Make it make sense.
