To be fair the tomb raider reboots have been atrocious. The first one was like OK this is alright a little weird with the gratuitous deaths but w/e and then they just hyper focused on the worst parts each successive game. Talk about derivative

The bigger joke is computer touchers complaining about the costs of video games and paying for gamepass etc when developers (indie/small, the good ones) are already telling us its affecting quality and their ability to make a profit. Can't wait for the subscription hell world Microsoft brings us surely there are no other platforms or services in the last few years consumers could look at and see "wow this sure did fragment and dilute everything, maybe I shouldn't subscribe!"

i hate to be That Person but i'm interested, so, got a source for that? What developers?

I am pretty sure I saw one of the random podcasts I background talking about it with some tweets or something but its impossible to search so I'm probably full of poo poo Idk.

There was this story about PS+ but not apples to apples https://www.thegamer.com/playstation-plus-devastating-oddworld-soulstorm/


Seems obviously like a bad program with heavy incentives now that we'll pay for in 5-10 years but maybe I'm cynical and Microsoft is smarter than me :shrug:


Edit:
There is this line in the above article,

quote:

Case in point, Guardians of the Galaxy is set to release on Xbox Game Pass in a deal reportedly worth between five and ten million dollars, but Square Enix is only expected to receive around $2 per download according to industry analyst David Gibson.

I think its going to be years before we get enough leaks / information to see details on it and make real assessments on its affects but to my cynical rear end the writing is on the wall

not the part that make fun of computer touchers complaining about psplus costing too much or whatever. that part's fine. ill complain but its ok to make fun of me for it

the part about how microsoft (or sony, in the article) are sharks in contract negotiations, and then game studios sign those bad contracts because ?????, and then somehow it's the subscribers to the service instead of either of the parties that had material influence on the deal you're complaining about is the bad part

Ya man its not my fault uber drivers are treated like dog poo poo, I gotta get to the bar!

I mean the only two reasons to ever buy used were a) catching it on sale which is easier these days but not guaranteed and b) reselling it.

I don't bother anymore because its a pain in the rear end to sell games anymore, GameStop either gives you pennies or nobody responds on your Craigslist ad, can't even get a couple bucks for some of these last physical games I'm trying to get rid of.

Tribes 2 is still the best multiplayer shooter of that generation IMO and still has a community https://www.playt2.com/ (at least when I checked a few years ago it was active)

I think BC2 is the only modern multiplayer game to come close / surpass it?

who and also what

I had to look it up because the name sounded familiar, he was a popular editor at GameSpot before he got canned for giving a "bad" review of a game, founded GiantBomb in the fallout which was (is?) a much better games journalism / review site.

No clue what that post means if he's just retiring or more drama in paradise or what.


Also I was reminded Ryan Davis (cofounder giant bomb) died 10 years ago at 34 which is how old I am and Jesus. Don't be a fat gently caress folks, far to young to be dieing of natural causes.

Ya it looks like a boring cross between fallout 4 and no mans sky.

It's good but the multiplayer is so bad this time around that it really kills the replay value

Somebody made their own alternative server with alternative multiplayer mechanics and a huge chunk of the player base on pc moved to it

Maybe on pc its great on console. Buddy and i played through the whole thing together it was a blast. What are the issues on PC, cheaters or something?
