It's a preview demo designed specifically for a single slice of gameplay shown to only a select few people, not a demo for the general public. Is the writer of this too young/inexperienced enough to not remember the E3 floor demos? They are literally created to show off the game but also be tuned to allow the previewer to finish no matter what, otherwise we get the stupid previews with writers saying they didn't know how to jump or shoot properly.
N4G submitting its own articles insulting Xbox rather than the devs. Never more of a circle-j than this.
I've been seeing mostly mixed reactions to just general negativity about it being yet another "hero shooter." There's already a heavily saturated market for that at this point and while it's possible for a newcomer to come in, I doubt it''ll last.
I think this is the first post I've seen on here that had N4G as its own story. Like... literally linking to a different version of N4G that they created themselves. Why are we making an ouroboros here?
Hard to judge honestly. The game's had problems since launch and, being a sort of clone of one of Hoyoverse's biggest games already paints a target on it for negativity. Combine that with ZZZ coming out in a couple weeks and there's potential for a flop but I don't think it's even close to the end of the road yet for WW.
Not saying that the game is doing good, who knows what the sales are or if they'll ever be revealed, but I always see people touting out the Steam CCU for Xbox/PC releases and saying the game is doing bad because of it. Yes, the game came out on Steam but it is also playable on PC through Xbox Game Pass, which is run through the Xbox App on Windows.
Meaning that anyone who wants to play it on PC and has Game Pass will do just that, run it through the app. Why buy it on...
Ronin picked a really bad time to release. It arrived a week before Dragon's Dogma 2 and was blown out of the water in pretty much every way.
You can literally edit your character using in-game gold, dropped from monsters or obtained from selling items, as soon as you reach the first main town. You can even use Rift Crystals obtained from other people using your pawn or dropped from monsters to change your entire character or Pawn. It's paying to avoid doing something that is literally in the game.
Probably helps that Skull and Bones showed off just how poor a pirate game it ended up being. Sea of Thieves scared it during development and is going to nail it in the coffin with a PlayStation release now that it is finally out.
As per usual with this site and no one reading the actual article, Toys for Bob is indeed going independent but will be "exploring a possible partnership between our new studio and Microsoft" from the company's own statement.
You need an account for literally anything these days. You need a Nintendo account to mess with any of Nintendo's side games let alone Microsoft. You need a Steam account to play a Sony game on Steam, GoG, Epic, etc. God forbid people have to make an account that is completely free.
It was never just PlayStation and Nintendo. Even before Xbox launched there was Sega as the third option. In fact, before PlayStation even was an option there were more consoles than ever.
"This early-access game that just launched a little over a week and a half ago looks nothing like the concept trailer they showed for it, I want my money back that I didn't actually spend."
It is annoying for games but when it comes to PCs, it has become the norm. You have to either custom built or pay extra to have a CD/Blu-ray drive installed into your computer now these days and a lot of cases don't even come with a slot for a disc drive. Consoles should always keep this option but it's starting to become a trend.
If they are the only one "filling a void" then they should try to be perfect. Instead they have some of the worst customer service around, often straight up ignoring customers with issues, constantly delay releases or release shoddy quality products, and more. And what's the alternative? Digital only? Oh no.
They snap up licenses for countless releases, often announcing ten games at a time and then delay them for years. Manufactured scarcity is never a good th...
Doesn't help that Limited Run Games is an awful company with terrible turn around time and even worse business practices. Maybe if they spent more time actually making their company meet expectations and perform properly they wouldn't need to throw other company's under the bus. Never buy from LRG.
This is a fishing patent. Nearly any game on both PS5 and Xbox allows players to start the game after a certain amount is downloaded. Sure, it usually only involves character creation or the tutorial level, but unless its an indie game they have this feature already.
I mean, If they are doing something like... download the first half of the game and play it, then delete the first half and download the second half and play it, to try and save space then sure, but I don'...
I wonder how the reasonable users here at N4G will react to this news?
You mean the "most violent" game we have only seen one forty-five second teaser of? Plus if they call it "darker" than Spider-Man it isn't exactly pushing the envelope considering the Spider-Man 2 only had a few slightly dark moments compared to your usual game.
Don't get me wrong, if they pull a Dead Island 2 or Dead Space with the amount of gore Wolverine can turn people into it'd be amazing, but let's not put the cart before the horse...
Why are they acting surprised? They literally stated that this was going to happen if users were only paying for the basic Xbox Game Pass before which has now transitioned into Standard. Is it bad? Yes, but it's not like there was no warning. Those who have Ultimate will find that these games are still there and fully playable.
