Thanks for compiling these!
True enough. And I guess the studio wasn't exactly bringing mints for doing so for such a long time. I mean GTA Online is 11 years old by this point, and R* isn't gonna shut it down anytime soon because of the shark cards people are buying. In fact, I imagine it being alive LONG TIME after GTA 6 comes out.
KSP2 is still in EA and now it looks like it will remain in EA.
It sounded like the sequel was in early access, so definitely pretty far along being worked on. Maybe it was troubled though idk.
And now it clicks what you meant by EA. The other EA, yeah. Gg I’m slow but in my defense it’s been a long day.
OOOORRRRRR It could be because of the outdated designs, not-so-great writing, and pointlessly large in-game universe. There's a reason why people love to mod the crap out of FO or ES games
Except people are so bored with Starfield that they aren't really bothering to mod it because it's not fun enough to mod.
I dont understand what their problem is. Helldivers fucking told people they would need to link a PSN account from the beginning. There was just a functionality problem and it didn't work so rather than lock people out of the game they've let people play without it. But they always said the functionality would be required at some point and now is that time. You can be mad that the thing they TOLD you was coming has now arrived.
A few weeks ago I had to go to a different store to get eggs but they were worse eggs. Paler, smaller, less taste... blech.
It's like when there is a TOS and you just scroll to the bottom and hit accept so you can play already. It's not their fault you don't read that shit.
Yeah, again as long as I don't have to have PSN subscription I am totally fine with this. My criticism was towards people who want to make this way bigger deal than it actually is.
The PC is an open market you should not have any expectation of having a "centralized" buying and playing experience. Except for the fact that it is centralized to the PC itself, so it's not like you have to drive across town to a different game's store or something. It's an entirely silly argument that holds no real ground.
This is technically not new for the franchise, as the first game to the reboot series has a semi open world or open zones. I have no strong feelings one way or the other on this, but for the fans at least I hope the game is good. Have fun with the tone and don't be super serious like last time. Enough of the on dark please take me seriously games from 7th generation. A majority of them are not good and are stuck on that console for a specific reason.
Aside from the forced PSN account creation, other complaints people are raising are:
Unless speed reading is a honed skill, by the time anyone reads that shit, they won’t even be interested in the actual game anymore. Suits realize this, and that’s why the *important* stuff for consumer rights is buried within a shitton of legal bs.
Who cares about bans. Dont be a jackass to people. It isnt that hard to not get banned. PSN is not that unstable and no more unstable than any other online game service.
I'd say PSN not being available in some region is a much bigger deal since it might brick people out of playing a game they purchased.
