Seems every studio associated with Halo (Bungie, 343) is just simply toxic. Coincidence or not, I don't know but it sure explains why Halo has been underwhelming since 3.
The game has really poor AI that cheats and teleports. Once you figure it out it's comical or downright obnoxious depending on your ability to deal with it. That's why the game either lands as a great game for some or a terrible game for others.
For me since the Alien aspect was a core mechanic it's not something I could look over, it was too jarring and finished the game with a bitter taste. Thankfully once you get the flamethrower you can just cheese your way ...
Free advertisement and they declined. Weird flex if anything.
Clarifying something can be very effective as a soft power to influence changes. It's like car safety ratings just because the car isn't 5/5 stars doesn't make it illegal to sell but customers will think twice when making the purchase.
And that is what corporations don't want, they don't want consumers asking questions.
@victorMaje
I hope you realize how ridiculous your comments sounds when you suggest "Waiting for Godot" is an option.
It made me chuckle for a good 20 seconds.
I sold my PS5 for $500. So this will be a free upgrade for me LOL
I bought 3 copies of Gravity Rush and 2 copies of Gravity Rush 2 and even I would admit that they just cannot survive in todays gaming world.
Unfortunately people these days want some shitty grindy game or multiplayer grave digging game instead. It's just how things turned out and if the world changes then so be it, I'll just leave.
If you want an analog of what Microsoft and Activision is like you just need to look at Mechwarrior.
You now have a two publishers under a single company that has both owned the Mechwarrior license but abandoned the IP despite the franchise being loved.
That says it all.
Microsoft can piss off with the Battletech/Mechwarrior license. They wasted 10 years of nothingness before Piranha games salvaged the game from the ground up and continually rebuilt goodwill over 10 years of support.
And now Microsoft wants to swoop in again whilst the hard work has been done by someone else again?
Andrew Wilson doesn't know how to do anything else. He launched himself into leadership through microtransactions and live game services. So EA are bound to do the same thing hoping for something different.
Complaining about English voices in a game where the characters are supposed to exclusively speak Japanese is like complaining you ate a terrible shit burger but not because of the literal shit but because there wasn't enough cheese.
Finally From Software is making something worth playing again. Feels like we are back to PS2 days.
Very rare to see demos in the AAA scene these days. And better yet a demo with chunky content thrown in.
Michael Patcher is short Sony stocks so he's going to say anything possible to downplay.
No it doesn't. That's like saying Amazon won because Netflix uses AWS.
Well in Japan white is the color of death so either it's ironic or it's a bullshit story.
The people asking for a turn based FF are the same sickos asking for Resident Evil to go back to isometric like gameplay.
Hey Kotaku how much are you being paid by Wedbush for hate articles?
Easier to make doesn't make it easier to master
There I said it.
Really makes no sense if you consider the average age of the PS gamer.
Someone 35yrs old would have grown up with the entire franchise since Killzone 1. But instead they choose to leave it dead.
