If you look at it logically, the cloud backups are very important because of the assistance it brings in the fold, so yes I'd like to have them in games.
Personally, I do think that getting games to have a better cinematic experience is somewhat of a trend for most game companies now. It's why we see it very often used in games now.
Looking at what Capcom is doing with the characters they make up in the game. They keep twisting the whole thing that some gamers get confused. AC might do that as well.
Just 2 years gap 😂. You're almost the same age mates buddy. One can hardly tell the difference unless either of you have hormones influence for huge growth and maturity.
I would like to drift off topic a little bit but my point is still on gaming too. The only physical game that I have played more that's not a console game is Chess games.
I would only feel overwhelmed by my backlog of games only when I'm being forced to purchase the games but once it's my decision, I'll love and live with it.
