    Just for the sake of context this is the figure of the woman that this idiot described as "dumpy".

    I think he was trying make a sort of ironic kind of statement in the same way you might call a tall person "shorty" or something, but this was just stupid.

    Well, he hasn't said the worst statement ever made on the internet or the news so fans should be a bit easy on him and since he didn't in any way directly insult her person but made a rather sarcastic comments about her.

    That is honestly pretty impressive. Now the question is, how long can they keep those 20 million players coming back. I can see them sticking around for a long time if they constantly update this game. They would need to in order to keep the users around. They need to reinvent themselves every so often, much like how Fortnite does things and changes every season for the most part. 

    I could remember we had a conversation about this game @Kane99 and I said the hype that it got is always going to get people into playing the game but so far I am not hearing much about it on the internet to give us the impression that's it's doing really well.

    I am impressed by this as well though I already gave up the thought of getting this game.

    Making their games available to other platforms will attract a bigger audience than console exclusives over the long term.

    That's true, multi platform Games sells faster you could make a game with so much interest and people who are currently anticipating its release an exclusive in the first few week just to give it more attention since people would be very curious as to what the final release is like and after a couple weeks release it on other platforms that has usually helped to boost sales for some games in the past.

    Ultimately, it doesn't benefit Xbox to make COD an exclusive because most of their fans will just continue to play Warzone and the games won't sell as much.  I just hope they stop releasing the game yearly and actually try adding some new elements to it.

    They aren't even planning bringing more exclusives to Xbox but instead it said that we would getting fewer and fewer exclusives in the coming years.

    There isn't any need whatsoever to make cod an Xbox exclusive.

  5. It's been almost a year since the first announcement of this game was made and i think they should release it already , I don't know the exact date but I think they've taken it to 2023.

    I enjoyed the earliest release of sonic and since this one is coming out in this generation of Consoles I hope it is worth our time as well.

    Do you guys think that Saber Interactive will be fine to make KOTOR? It sounds like the two were working together and it sounds like a lot is already done, so maybe there's not much left for them to take on and it'll end up being an easy move on their part. 

    But who knows, maybe this is a bad thing. 

    They are capable in my opinion they have worked on a number of interesting series like halo , the witcher they were also on crysis and evil dead.

    Judging from their past performances they are more than capable to develop this game on their own.

  7. I thought by now we've already gotten used to what 2k games does and the micro transactions that is always featured in their video games.

    At this point I am not concerned if they still choose to go that Lane but I am only hoping the design and performance isn't as buggy as what we got in WWE 2k22 and other WWE Games they've developed in recent times.

    If the performance of this game is good and comes with quality game play just like what we have in fortnite I think that would compensate for all the micro transactions that is in them.

    Don't get me wrong, I want him to succeed here, I truly do, but I'm also a realist and thus I believe he is going to fall on his ass because I don't think he fully understands how this works. Whether Sony are right or wrong in this is irrelevant, what matters is that, as far as I can tell, how Sony charges commission is the basis for his whole argument and it doesn't make sense. Not only is that a weak argument to make on behalf of the consumer anyway, is it also pretty much the exact same thing that happens throughout the industry, so either everybody is guilty of this or nobody is. Even retailers selling physical copies of games charge commission, that's how they get a cut.

     

    This would make sense if he could prove that Sony was consistently charging more for thier games on PSN then on anywhere else. I decided to test this by looking at how a random game was priced across the board and after just that on game this this theory is already looking shaky. The game I choose was Stray.

     

    Here is how much Stray costs on the British PSN Store right now. This is for the PS4 and PS5 version

    And on Steam...

    OK, it's £1 less. And I'll say, I don't think Sony can justify that. They probably would have some sort of bullshit excuse lined up, but it's starting to look like Alex Neill has a case, until you take a look at GAME, the high street retailer that operates in the UK. That's important because that is where this law suit is being filed. (BTW, I have no idea why GAME is still listing this as a pre-order when the game is already out, but I promise you this fresh is a screen snip I just took for this very post.)

    How on earth is Alex going to prove Sony are ripping people off when the country's most prominant video game retailer is charging a full £10 more for the same game? You see, he has not thought this through.

    An interesting comment, in general he isn't sueing them Based on a more broader reasons but he is only sueing them Based on Sony's activities in the UK.

    I don't think this case is going to go in favor of him but he is fighting for a good purpose and over here the price of the more recent PlayStation 3 , 4 And 5 are really expensive even for the average man we just buy them because we love video games.

  9. I don't really know anything about breaking bad TV show.

    But if their show is as good as I have read it to be on this thread I don't think video game development is something that is far fetched, with the right plot first created then working to develop characters that would make a statement and then the working mechanics in general.

    And I really feel the game shouldn't be exactly what the show is they could bring in new ideas and a lot of plot twist to make it interesting.

    If it counts, I would say maybe going to midnight releases for some of the COD games. I probably went to two or three midnight releases for COD titles. I remember each time was quite fun, as the local gamestop would bring free pizza and you could do some gaming, purchasing, etc. I guess you could say we joined a hype train for that. I haven't done a midnight release in a long time though. 

    I wanted to mention COD but I remembered I just loved first person shooter games and COD happens to be one of them I got hooked.

    I actually was anticipating the release of black - ops back then and got it immediately it dropped.

    LOL! I didn't either at the time. It was on a disc. Like a CD type disc. I finally ended up sending off for the cheats cuz I got stuck at the butchering plant. The little mini games were hilarious. The hock a loogie was gross but hysterical. LOL! At one point in the video game you can make Beavis pick up a dead squirrel. 

    Beavis was such a nuisance and was prone to making irrational decisions throughout the game.

    If there is a physical copy available right now I would go in search of it this is one of those such games I want to add to my collection.

    Yeah, they have been pulling a lot strings lately just to set themselves high in the gaming industry. Even when the company is involved in other projects outside gaming industry, they are not getting carried away by their success. 

    Xbox is on a mission to acquire all the gaming studios they could lay their hands on and they have gotten approval to purchase Activision as well, all these are done so that they could out power their biggest competition Sony and it's same for Sony too because they have been doing some things lately to remain as the biggest even increasing the price of the PlayStation 5 to show that they could and still get people to buy them.

    Yeah, that's true about how Mark Zuckerberg have been deeply invested in VR technology. But I'm never ruling out what the man Elon Musk is capable of doing. Just like how he jumped into buying Twitter. Does he have any business with social media? I saw an update the other about his Tweet of buying Manchester United. 

    Elon musk hasn't pulled through with buying Twitter and there are a lot of controversies around it right now, it has not even been announced anywhere that Twitter is now the property of Elon musk because he hasn't paid for it.

    Elon musk had been known to always put up controversial posts on his Twitter and some times they are all just for fun I think.

    Well if VR is something he wants to invest in he has every right to.

    It depends on where you're hunting in real life which would either make your waiting to be too long or short. Why it's frustrating with the game is that you would waste all your time waiting and still end up not seeing any animal to kill. 

    Well, as a game the developers ought to have made it more exciting and full of some action , maybe the fact that you had to wait a long time and still don't make any kill is boring for a video game, but that's usually how hunting is IRL.

    I feel like each Just Cause game has the same exact story. A monster dictator is in power, destroy all of his territory until you take it all out. They haven't changed much since Just Cause 2. The rest add a few things here and there, but that's about it. The story in the games are always forgettable imo. 

    I only played just cause 2 And just cause 4 so I can't really say what happened in the other games.

    My comments were on just cause 4 that it had a good beginning and towards the middle wasn't remarkable but the end was great as well , it's really hard to judge the overall performance of that game.

    No, they weren't always like this. I'm pretty sure in the past they were more open to fans doing whatever they wanted with the series, like modding older GTA titles, and now days them wanting to remove the older games in favor of their remastered shit. And the fact they go after an ex employee like this, is messed up. They didn't need to take his videos down. If anything it's great to have that sort of content available to people, because it helps them learn how game development was back in the day. That's gaming history and Rockstar is tearing it down because they don't want anyone to have anything on them. Even though this was this guys stuff. 

    But that's Rockstar for you these days. Only cares about milking as much money out of everything they do, or just GTA V maybe. 

    From comments I have read on this thread I would say that as consumers of these games we are only aware of what the gaming companies give out to us but we don't really have concrete information about what actually goes on behind the walls.

    The company might have had an issue with him in the past or before he no longer worked for them which could be why they didn't want him to share his own ideas which was made under their company and trademark and by right that copy or design belongs to them but since he made them he still had copies of them to himself.

    Trying not to be bias here but let's also look are things from different angles and perspectives when making our judgements About an issue.

  17. I think Xbox is on a mission to get all the gaming studios that they could lay their hands on and it's been working for them lately.

    Personally, I feel What's lacking in Xbox is not to get more studios under their belt but to work on developing quality games not having a bunch of studios developing different games at the same time without even making back the money spent because of low sales it's better to have one game in development have a bunch of developers on it and bring the best possible outcome that would break the market.
