You guys crack me up with how butthurt you are over Microsoft having their own franchises.
Yes, Win10 will be required if it comes to pc. Why on earth would they support versions of Windows they want to stop supporting? It’s like expecting them to release games for the 360 at this point.
Yes, it’ll be on windows store only. Again, why would they hand 30% to another platform when they have their own (somewhat wonky) store?
Now, out of all of MS’ franchises, this is the one I least care about. The stories have gotten stale, and the promise of hunting down a rogue Master Chief is a lie. It doesn’t really look much better than the previous entries, and on PC, it’ll feel like everything is just a LITTLE too slow.
Just hoping Crackdown 3 isn’t a trainwreck. I’ve got a pile of Gamepass codes from E3, gonna use one just for C3, whenever it finally comes out. |

Since we won't get the new Spider-Man game on our gaming pcs (thank you, Sony!), I hope we can get at least a decent Supe game. I would rather have another Arkham game or a Spider-Man game (Supe can fly all over the world, so a game with its limited city/area makes no sense with the Man of Steel).
You could build a Superman game in an engine like the GTAV city.
No you can't. Or rather you can, but it would be pretty crappy. Unless it had full destruction.
So, a licensed Megaton Rainfall, then? Might be able to put enough money into development that it’d have better balance than the original. |

If the PS4 is the best place to play there would be no need to arbitrarily lock people's accounts to your machine - people would naturally gravitate to the PS4.
Exactly. Their lie here is so transparent, and they even use The Great Orange Muppet’s favorite line, “it is our BELIEF that this thing is true”.
They’re protecting their bottom line, customer satisfaction be damned. What Epic *SHOULD* do is say your game either will crossplay with anything, or we’ll lock your users down to ONLY PS4 players. Scratch that, the RIGHT thing to do is say “sorry, we won’t let our game be played on your system AT ALL unless it’ll have open crossplay”. But that’d hit THEIR bottom line, and companies always opt for doing the thing that makes the most money, NOT the morally right thing. |

| The article has several shots of art from Artifact...and oh boy, Valve had a lot of World of Warcraft players doing their artwork. The dryad and elf aren’t exclusive to any fantasy realm, sure, but then there’s the goblin driving a mech designed to clear trees, and another shot of a two headed ogre magi. I thought maybe they accidentally mixed up screenshots from Hearthstone. |

Wow this looks like crap. A shame since I had fond memories of the first Rune.
Yeah, kind of looks like a terrible total conversion mod of the new Conan game. Will wait for some reviews.
Yeah, I WANT to want this game, but that trailer makes it look like an early-to-mid-dx9 era game. Choppy animations, low detail characters and landscaping. It looks far worse than Conan Exiles. It doesn’t stand up to launch titles for the PS3 in any regard.
The original game was gorgeous when it came out. This looks like the sequel it should have had 2 or 3 years after the original, not 18 years later. This isn’t some quirky Indie title, and THOSE at least have art styles that get your attention. They’ve got a HUGE uphill battle now to get me to even think about the game again. |

| As much as people love to hate on Fortnite due to its wild popularity...it’s a solid game. Their marketing people are fucking brilliant, tying in-game things to real world events they create. I don’t know how you pull attention away from that without a LOT of money up front. |

Can I just point out how god awful annoying IGN website is nowadays? 3 auto-playing videos. +1 to the left that autoplays no matter what, moving shit to the left when you scroll down, and took 6 in-depth content blocks to get rid off...
What the hell is wrong with web designers nowadays?
Makes me appreciate blues all the more
PSSSST! That's what Adblock is for!
The auto playing content on sites is sadly a HTML5 "feature" with little contro, either full or nothing. And if you set it to block then youtube and twitch stop working...
Get a raspberry pi and slap pi-hole on it. Blocks ads in browsers (and some apps) for any device on your network. Works like a charm, only a minor pain to set up, even without any Linux knowledge. Easy whitelisting for sites you want to support, like Blue’s. https://opensource.com/article/18/2/block-ads-raspberry-pi |

Most likely due to licensing expiration over the music in the game.
Wouldn’t they just disable those songs like GTA did? Or maybe it’s just not selling at all and that would take more work than it’s worth. |

So that Mega Drive game port is coming to the Vita and not the Switch? What a waste.
You didn’t see that it’s technically owned by Sony, apparently. It was to be published by Psygnosis, who was later bought by Sony. Why would they release a game for a competing device? That’s just stupid. |

I saw literally nothing in the trailers for this that looked better than the original, at least on PC. Oh, sure, they FINALLY are letting PC players go to Big Surf Island, but it’s super tiny. Like, embarrassingly so, especially versus the Forza Horizon expansion zones. FH3, and soon 4, are available on PC. They have better handling, astounding visuals, and licensed cars. A lot of the exploration stuff from Paradise (gates, special jumps, hidden things) are in Horizon, and are almost universally better. No, they don’t have wrecks like in Paradise, but if you want vehicular carnage, you should really be looking at Wreckfest. 24 players on a bouncy dogbone course means LOTS of amazing wrecks...just accept that you will rarely see a podium spot when online. It’s not as large of a game as Horizon, but what it does, it does VERY well. People willingly set up absurd situations, like a small tight course where 20 players take a school bus or a Combine, and the other 4 are tasked with just crossing the finish line in one piece.
EA is banking on Nostalgia here. They should have delivered an all new game at this point. Don’t buy this game, but either of the ones above instead. Reward actual development, not repackaging. |

Example scenario:
<Gamer customer contacts Bethesda>
Gamer says: Items are missing from the package contents. WTF?
* Bethesda invests resources to acknowledge and investigate.
Bethesda says: So, that's why. Your game isn't actually new, even though you thought it was new. It was re-shrinked-wrapped and you were mislead.
Gamer says: No no. It's new. I demand these items.
---
So, I'm guessing Bethesda has had enough of these scenarios to occur that they've started to take action on sellers like Pete.
this...this is actually a good point, and the most logical reason for Bethesda's behavior. I'm not saying they're always logical, I'm saying THIS MAKES SENSE from a support cost perspective. SORT OF. How much does it cost them to hunt down and stop sellers, is it more or less than the CSR call time for people saying they should have stuff that isn't in the container? |

Something tells me Wraith is an Indie dev whose game/games didn't sell well and he's absolutely sure it's down to people selling used copies.
ANY product you buy/sell is more than just the components. A game on a disc, or a food processor. The REAL cost was in the design of the thing, not the physical execution of it. Do you think the cost of a car is just to cover the parts/labor involved in building THAT ONE CAR? No. It also covers the hundreds of millions of dollars spent in DESIGNING that car. When that car is resold, the designers don't make a penny. THIS IS HOW IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN.
Yes, it's true that resold games offer a similar, if not identical, experience for the next user. At this point, the game is older, and therefore less desirable (with a very, VERY few exceptions). Getting to play a game RIGHT when it comes out is part of the perks of buying new. If we're talking about a physical copy, WHICH WE ARE, it also mean it won't come scratched, and may even come with some fun physical goodies in the package. Or maybe there are codes for items in the box, which means the second person doesn't get those things.
If it's about "the content doesn't degrade, but a car does", well, we allow used book sales. The content doesn't degrade on those either. Sure, the pages might get worn, but the words contained in them don't change. Just like a game disc may get scratched, but the game will remain the same.
Wraith, your arguments probably FEEL valid...but they aren't. As you said yourself, it's a thin line, but...you're on the wrong side of it. |

| Well, the game is free on steam until they shut off the servers next month. Might as well give the game a spin for yourself and see if it’s bad. From all reviews, it’s apparently a good game that no one noticed because overwatch came out at the same time. |

I don’t give a flying fuck what they call them, I want to see benchmarks.
Even then, I probably won’t be getting one. A 1080gtx is a fucking monster, having no issue pushing *anything* at 60fps or higher at 1440p. While a small part of me wants the latest and greatest, a much larger part needs to have a damn good reason to upgrade. For a 1080p screen, the 1060 can manage 99% of what’s out there with ease. |

I agree with ItBurn’s list of flaws. I had an engineer or whatever you can do that has a parade of critters with him. Boosting a skill made no discernible difference, and that’s pretty unfortunate. Weapons do barely more damage even when they’re 10 levels higher than the previous one.
The wife and I played to the third or 4th world, stopped because something else got our attention, and we never returned. And I don’t feel like I missed anything, which is the most damning thing I can say about it. At least with Diablo 3 I wanted to see the cutscenes and how the story ended. |

Picked this up during the summer sale. It’s so goddamn good, I can’t explain it. The combat feels great even at the beginning, with limited weapons. It just gets better as it goes, although luck-of-the-draw factors heavily into how far you’ll get in a given run. I now routinely can make it to the second boss..but sometimes my weapon combination doesn’t cut it for him.
It’s pricey for an Indie, for sure. It’s not so much castlevania as it is “Rogue Legacy with way, WAY, impossibly better control.” It just FEELS right, it’s hard to put into words. |

I thought flash sales were fun, but they rotated on a predictable schedule. The new setup makes it look like you would presumably be able to check every 6 hours and not miss any, but I preferred the old set rotation time for everything in the flash sale.
Even better, some of the flash sales would be mispriced due to accidentally doubling down on their percentages off, and you could, if you caught it within the first few minutes of the flash sale, snag pricey games for a dollar or two. I’m betting they’ve fixed their algorithms for that, but I got a couple games for embarrassingly cheap due to it. I feel a LITTLE bad, but if I recall correctly, none were indie titles where the devs depend on every copy sold. |
