i dig that i live in a time where people(and their families) get fired from their long standing careers and their lives deleted from society because they share an opinion or belief on a subject no matter how silly or uninformed. This is typically how humans operate in order to grow and we're displaying zero patience or compassion for our own flaws. This rigid horseshit will destroy us.

Because there is zero patience for this issue. People of his persuasion murdered doctors for practicing abortion. Let people do what they want to do with their own bodies. GM says its discontinuing an electric car and pumping out new trucks with far more emissions and no one bats an eye, because that's part of doing business. Abortion has nothing to do with this guys business

Well at least this can't possibly lose as much money as Curt Schilling's studio, and the games won't likely be near as good as Kingdoms of Amalur, either

GTA5/O will never be allowed to die. No story expansions, no GTA6. Just forever stuck on GTA5 because people can't stop spending money on GTAO. GTA5 is going to be a launch title on the PS9

I hope it's fun as the original Far Cry 1, Crysis, etc. http://zimage.com/~ant/antfarm/about/MyComputerStuff.txt for my over two months old primary PC's detailed specifications. Note the old MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti (N750TI-2GD5/OC; 2 GB of VRAM) part. I don't want to waste my time and bandwidth if its free demo isn't fun with my current setup.

Also, do I need to play the previous Far Cry games to know its story/plot? Or is it a standalone game? I only played the original game.

Thank you for reading and hoppefully answering soon.

If your GPU was a dog it would have already died of old age. Maybe try getting with the 21st century

I'm not exactly shy about voicing my disdain for corporations that put money above everything else, so on the surface, this seems like a breath of fresh air. But color me skeptical. As has already been pointed out, inclusive companies are doing just fine. He's literally taking zero risk here. Sorry but I can't shake the feeling that all he is doing is scoring some touchy-feely points along the way. I don't believe him.

You don't believe that he doesn't want racists for customers?

Clearly, you're not the customer they want

Maybe it will be a real simulation style descendant of Rogue Spear. Oh, who am I kidding, they just want to keep making Call of Duty clones

Why are the controls so high on the device? I feel like for handheld the screen will be lower than it should be because you have to hold your hands so far up to access the dpad and the standard buttons

Because when you grip the device, your fingers are located in that general area.

Yes, thank you captain obvious. The point I'm making is that the grip looks to be awkward because the screen will be so low in the grip

An IGN video talking about the device I *JUST* watched said that they had reservations about that too, but that it "felt right".

They also pointed out that the hardware isn't finalized yet, and subject to a redesign.

Glad I'm not the only one taking crazy pills. Hopefully they have a brick and mortar retail plan for these so people can take a look

No campaign/bots only for non-multi is basically a return to original form for Battlefield.

If history is any indication, it will be an announcement for Company of Heroes 2: Reremastered

I am going off what SAAS is; a constantly evolving product that improves over time. I don't think gamers will ever be kosher with that. They want a final product with no issues unless the publisher tells them it is not that but will one day become it. It's all about managing expectations. As Joker says, "nobody panics because it's all 'part of the plan'."

Except gamers have been kosher with that for a long time in MMOs

Kxmode wrote on Jul 7, 2021, 14:12:
Games-as-a-Service has never been a successful venture. Perhaps for software, but not for video games. People expect a feature-complete product at launch and especially so in a big, open-world established IP like Assassin's Creed.

Various MMOs have been highly successful since the 90s. They're games-as-a-service by definition

This actually sounds pretty solid. Instead of alternating studios doing the games, they all collaborate on every title. For AC: Infinity, the idea is to have a consistent ongoing experience instead of the thing they do now where every game feels like you just skipped over 10 chapters of story that only appeared in a comic book somewhere, and game mechanics and features just seem to disappear and reappear at random with each title. If you're going to do annual or semi annual titles, it makes some sense to tie them together.

I'm sure it will still be Ubisoft Sandbox Experience with all the accompanying ups and downs, though.

Sounds like they're basically going the Matrix Online route?

Hrm... Terminator:Resistance wasn't terrible, per se, but it wasn't exactly great. I did finish it at least, but it extremely rough around the edges. Plus, RoboCop as a game.. what are you going to do, machine gun various robbers? It's a little on the nose for current real life USA, at least.

I don't have high hopes for this.

Offtopic: I've been playing Horizon Zero Dawn, Complete Edition via GoG... it's great, even though it's basically a post apocalyptic robot-fighting Far Cry ripoff.

I thought Terminator:Resistance was a good game. It wasn't one of those cinematic quality AAA experience games, but it was pretty good, something that I'm glad to pay $30-50 on rather than $60-70 a lot of the AAA games charge these days. I really liked how they tied the story elements around the films towards the end of the game and thought that despite the obvious low budget graphics and some iffy voice acting/script at times, they captured the aesthetic of Terminator(which Robocop has a similar but less apocalyptic vibe) and it really ended on a high note. The infiltrator mode was fun, too. I didn't play multiplayer, but I imagine an infiltrator mode multiplayer that's kind of a king of the hill thing would be quite fun

Anyways, I'm in on this game for sure assuming the price is right. Gotta support some of these offbeat games to get any of them made and not be stuck relying on EA and Activision to make the same game with a new skin every year

If it's focused on free-to-play I don't mind so much since I don't play many of them.

You know what they say, if you are't paying for it, you're not the customer, you're the product.

NBA 2k20 had unskippable ads on loading screens that would play to the end even if the game loaded sooner, and that shit is unacceptable for a paid game

What happens if you block it with a firewall?

I'm not sure I never tried it. I believe with BF2142 they were not "live" ads, they were brought down in product updates

The only ads I've never minded in a game are the ones like the Futureweapons ad on city billboards in maps for BF2142. NBA 2k20 had unskippable ads on loading screens that would play to the end even if the game loaded sooner, and that shit is unacceptable for a paid game

Just what we asked for, more sexually suggestive games featuring high school girls

Probably play it, but I'm really disappointed with Rockstar for not supporting GTA5 or RDR2 with single player expansions, so I'm not really excited about it like I was for GTA5

You're disappointed that you got dozens and dozens of hours of SP content in the base game and didn't have to pay extra to get a little bit more?

*Disappointed*?

And they say gamers are overly entitled...

I don't think one is entitled by having an opinion of Rockstar's business model.

"really disappointed with Rockstar" is an opinion that reflects a sense of entitlement.

No, not really. It reflects a sense of being a consumer with expectations. Rockstar has continued to support GTA5, just supported it in ways that disappoint me. I don't give one shit about GTAO. These are my choices as a consumer.
