Good lord Dev, I was making a joke. I’m not blind to the game’s enormous growth. Almost makes me want to pick it up to see what the fuss is about, but it’s the sort of game I’d find frustrating, and with very little feeling of any accomplishment in.
Been balls deep in Factorio, which is an astonishing timesink. |

Whoa, look at the surprise dark horse in #1 !
j/k
It’s absurdly unstoppable on the sales chart. Maybe it has to do with those 9,000 bans per day. |

10 million people played in 2 weeks. Ok so it's also Free to play. So how many active players did it have at it's peak?
I was shocked that two people within 4 or 5 minutes popped up in chat saying they bought the pve game because of Battle Royale.
That’s two more people than I expected it to attract. The two modes are so wildly different that they’re only recognizable as the same game because of the art style. |

Ehh, the XBoneX will sell fine. The name is even laid out like how uncreative kids do their online names with X’s on the ends. Those who waited for more muscle will love it. I have a normal Xbone and don’t think I’ll be upgrading...I never play on it. I got a ps4 pro when they came out, and I’ve played a total of 4 games on it, only finishing one (Horizon Zero Dawn). Playing on the tv just doesn’t interest me, mostly because my eyesight is going a little bad, and it’s not super clear like my monitor is (due to distance, not screen quality).
I think the new name for it is stupid, but they don’t want to make people think it’s a completely new console by calling it the Scorpio. But that’s a cooler name.

Ya VR sets really need higher resolution, 4K at least. So that would be 4K in all six directions (forw,back,left,right,up,down.) Perhaps one of these manufacturers will deliver soon.
Wait, what? It’s not screens that you turn to look at. How...how do you think VR works? |

I wonder what is to happen to people buying the game now and running it on previous systems when they stop support...
Im betting they complain on the message boards and get nowhere. Epic’s official answer will likely be “upgrade from Windows Vista, you moron”. |

| That Oilpro stunt is proof people just can’t get enough. He had millions, and tried to scam his way to more. Seriously, what use is more than a few million dollars, unless you’re wanting to go into large scale construction? |

I would assume they intend to remove support for OS’ that are no longer supported by Microsoft.
The new Horde Bash mode sports some new landscape stuff, which is infuriating...that sort of stuff needs to be added to the main game, not these one-month-long things. |

95 gb download?
for a racing game...
okay
Racing games are starting to not reuse textures for the tracks, so the road looks more realistic. Add in the truly ridiculous number of cars, and it’s not terribly surprising. Everyone wants bigger, better looking games and now you’re complaining that someone made one?
50gb is gonna be the norm pretty soon, with the occasional 100+ game. As someone else said, GoW4 is even larger. How big is the next GTA gonna be? |

Ultimate Edition of Forza Horzion 3 actually had all but the Porche car pack I believe. But you did have to purchase the other "islands" like Hot Wheels and Blizzard (but they were reasonably priced).
Hot Wheels is so fucking great. You lose the wide open spaces from the base game, but gain the absurd landscape, classic Hot Wheels cars, and ridiculous speed makes up for the lack of off-roading.
I tried SO HARD to like Forza Motorsport games, but they’re just...dull. The Horizon games are a suitable replacement to Burnout Paradise, only missing crash-porn and nitrous. |

Everyone who keeps buying loot boxes is contributing to this BS. And there's a ton of these mouthbreathers, so it's not going to go away.
Do adults actually buy this crap, or is it kids who are far more concerned by what a non-gameplay-affecting avatar looks like? |

I thought we got that with the 1060-1080 series from Nvidia and that was just within the last 2 years.
While the performance leap (and low power usage) of the 1000 series was indeed a big, awesome surprise, nothing comes even close to the mind-boggling difference the first 3dfx card offered. The comparison screenshots of Tomb Raider and Mechwarrior 2 were all I needed to see to convince me I needed to save up for a 3dfx card. There wasn’t any YouTube back then, so I was unaware that it wouldn’t only LOOK better, but it’d run at a MUCH higher framerate. No one even paid attention to framerate back then, outside of “it’s unplayably slow”.
3dfx changed everything. It’s a shame they’re gone, but they held onto the Glide wrapper for too long. Nvidia’s GeForce came along with 32 bit color and support for high-poly curves in Quake 3, and it was over. |

Bleh, what an awful trailer. Might still be a good game, if I can watch some gameplay footage first I might pick it up.
It’s fun, but it’s probably visually a bit disappointing outside VR. IN VR, it’s a gorgeous, wild ride that’s surprisingly only minimally stomach-turning. It’s a very simple space shooter.
The question is, who gets the advantage? Panel users will get higher resolution, but the game was designed to not let that be an issue...your shots don’t hit anything outside sensor range. VR users have the benefit of head-aiming weaponry, which is semi-independent of vehicle direction. It’s easily more precise than mouse and keyboard, and the game is notoriously gamepad-only. That may have changed with the patch to allow the game to run outside VR, I don’t know. |

It’s been in the game for a couple weeks now. Maybe they were doing a staggered rollout, and it’s now available for everyone? I still haven’t tried it. It’s not what I got the game for.
I could be wrong, but I believe you had to pay to play by purchasing one of the packs. The Battle Royale is/was released for free now. I think. It'd be a lot easier to figure out if they'd put it on Steam. And until they do (and even after), I don't think PUBG has anything to worry about.
Ahhh. It’s terrible as a cross promotion for Fortnite tho. “Here’s a game that looks like, but plays completely differently from Fortnite!”
Fortnite itself is pretty fun, if a bit repetitive. I do love having to respond on the fly to changes in enemy spawn points. I like the fort building more than the (rather excellent) shooting. |

Whaaaa? But CJ Parker told me there was room for at least four more AAA shooters! He told me, and I believed him!  Was this the post you were referring to?

It's about 20 bucks too expensive for a digital title. Wake me up when the GOTY goes on sale for under $4.99 at best..
Valve sucks and there is room for 5 more triple A shooters, easy.. 
Derp. It was Slick, not CJ (Apologies, mate!):
This is a bullshit argument (most of the rest of your arguments are bullshit too).Every year in gaming is the year with the "most FPS players ever". There is room for more than 4-5 games. I don't remember only 4 Drama movies being released last year because of the "over saturation of the Drama genre in movies".
Funny that CJ coincidentally said the same thing. 
Slick’s argument is flawed. Movies are a couple hours’ worth of commitment. If each person who bought this game only played for two hours, it’d fail even if a million people bought it. |
