Look up Call of Duty "lag compensation". This has been a thing since the days of Call of Duty 4. Call of Duty has used a p2p connection instead of any dedicated servers whatsoever, and the result is stuff like this. You will go head to head with somebody and put shots down. When you die and look at kill cams, pay close attention to how sometimes you will only fire 1 or no rounds at all in some cases. Essentially the kill cam is showing you what the server registered up until you wer...
There was literally just an article about how it smashed the records of previous entries. So which is it? Do people research anything they write?
Well...that's like your opinion, man.
I have a PS4 Pro and an Xbox One S, thinking about picking up an X. I'm a hardware junkie, not really sure it's necessary but my family games on Xbox so I find myself picking up multiplayer 3rd party a lot on Xbox. I find where friends / family play is a big driving factor in reality for people's decision on where to play. Not fanboyism as the internet would have you believe.
Seemed pretty obvious to me Sony was trying to make a statement. It actually got me ki...
Sony has already been creeping this way. Last of Us multiplayer has always had guns/perks behind a paywall, Uncharted, now GT, Little Big Planet, Everybody's Golf has courses behind a paywall right from the start while giving you an incredibly anemic course lineup with the purchased game and so on. I played Last of Us multiplayer a lot and honestly it's almost criminal what ND did there which I assume Sony as a publisher pushes, like all publishers. They get a pass because of the qual...
Listen. To everybody who says "just don't buy it" or "I don't support them now and won't later either". Great, good on you. The problem is if you think these companies don't collect data on this stuff to see how they can push it further and further along, you're obviously being naïve. The very fact they put MTs in ANY game, is like a creeping rot. We see it slowly infecting everything. Most companies aren't just gonna dump a terrible scheme on ...
Should have announced it was a feature coming in the future on launch. Too bad launch was a debacle, which really hamstrung them. I know they say a lot of people don't use it, but when they put L4D and L4D2 on there I immediately picked them up and got 100% achievements in both. I used the Looking For Group feature (something that doesn't get enough praise) on Xbox nightly and found groups of people to play the game with. Was an absolute blast.
Outside of the big 3 (Halo, Forza and Gears), Xbox exclusives don't sell well. I said this the other day on a Sea of Thieves article. People bashing it and saying it looked boring. If the base doesn't support their games like the base does for Sony, what incentive does Microsoft have to invest in it? I think that's why, or at least it appears to be, they are turning away from big 1st party investment. They are finding other avenues and worrying more about an "ecosystem" ...
I don't care if people with an Xbox think this looks boring, you better go out and support your platform. Microsoft is in a strange situation where they aren't investing much in 1st party games...and if nobody buys the 1st party games they do invest in, like Sea of Thieves, it could really be problematic to their line of thinking going forward. Outside of Halo, Gears and Forza people just don't bite on their games. It really is no surprise to me Microsoft isn't pushing more un...
I do not own a Nintendo product. I do own a gaming PC. This article should not be here. A majority of emulation is not used by people with a legitimate copy of the game. Stop the spin. You want to play BotW? Buy a fuggin’ Switch. Support the brand and developers. End of, period.
As much as I've enjoyed some Naughty Dog multiplayer games they always get a little bit of a pass compared to other companies. The Last of Us multiplayer I enjoyed extensively, but they put perks and weapons behind a pay wall. Some of them are very good and potentially give people who have them an advantage in some scenarios. Look at EA and Battlefront 2, the flack from the loot crates. Saying it's pay to win because people can advance potentially way quicker by buying them. You flat ...
Yep...yep they are. If you want to put loot boxes in the game and they are earned purely by playing the game, then I'd agree. For money? No. By the way, says the people whose wallets you depend on. Get a clue.
