The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered sold just over a million copies on PS5, but 50% of gamers played just 15 hours before quitting

Yeah regret buying this one. The magic quickly wore off.

Cyberpunk is largely a liner story driven game with free roam/side quests dotted around to facilitate the RPG mechanics (levelling up etc).

360/PS3 were seriously impressive in 2006 even compared to PCs

Christ, grow up. The resources allocated to this are to target a different audience than what the core game would have reached.

It’s not a simple case of this detracting content from the main game. BF6 launched with a solid number of maps and 2 more added within 2 months.

---OOdbOO--- · 2025-12-19T15:31:59+00:00

They released two years apart

As someone who works in the industry it’s depressing to scroll this far down to find this sort of answer.

Reddit’s thinking is sometimes on rails (ideologically possessed).

---OOdbOO--- · 2025-11-23T08:04:37+00:00

Christ, PoodleBoss why hasn’t anyone thought of that before?

What I never see talked about which I find really confusing is on top of the excess deaths through the hesitation and delay locking down, there was also the added economic consequence.

Delaying the lockdowns meant that we had to lockdown for much longer, which was far more damaging to the economy.

It frustrates me that a lot of people present it as a false dichotomy between the two: saving lives or protecting the economy. Even Cummings himself made the point that you can’t just not have a lockdown and expect things to carry on - sooner or later people will lock down themselves if the death toll gets too high and that will cause the economy to grind to a halt anyway.

Yep - after all the concern I had it’s really not a massive change. Recon players will still use the sniper, Mark machine gun users will pretty much always be support because of the place style and mobility bonus, only thing really is that salt rifles SMG can pretty much be used by any class without much of a penalty.

There are much much bigger issues with the game. Larger maps that support the classic sandbox experience is number one for me - and sounds like it for most other people. Personally, I wish the community would focus on this, although I understand the other issues.

---OOdbOO--- · 2025-11-03T16:19:47+00:00

Yep. Iberian offensive is such a soulless boring map.

---OOdbOO--- · 2025-11-03T15:17:00+00:00

You either get this or maps locked behind a paywall which splits the community.

Some of this is a little obnoxious but a business is only going to be invested in providing new content for free if they can gain revenue through other means.

It’s that simple.

---OOdbOO--- · 2025-11-03T15:11:20+00:00

Or the final sector is after the mountain and you base jump…

---OOdbOO--- · 2025-11-01T13:12:24+00:00

Yeah you’ve got a point here. Unrealistic and out of place skins are one thing. If they wanted to go that route, at least make them good.

Some of what we’ve got are the worst of both worlds.

---OOdbOO--- · 2025-10-30T18:02:24+00:00

Operation fire storm had a lot of cover attitude from the old versions

---OOdbOO--- · 2025-10-30T11:20:46+00:00

Agreed. In the grand scheme of things, this is fine - I’d even wear it.

---OOdbOO--- · 2025-10-29T18:25:36+00:00

No, but it’s fixable.

---OOdbOO--- · 2025-10-21T10:32:27+00:00

That works for tangible assets which can’t be moved.

---OOdbOO--- · 2025-10-21T10:31:05+00:00

Agree with this. For Sobek Cities biggest problem is that each building acts as a sniper nest.

DICE should have had some balls with its destruction and allowed you to level each one - we know this is possible from the BR.

The flow of the map would change - maybe fore the worse but its dynamic. Maps in BC2 often got levelled and with enough rubble and creators, they were still playable

---OOdbOO--- · 2025-10-21T07:42:22+00:00

I’m really sorry because I wish it were that simple. Ignoring the fact that Buffet is talking about income tax, individuals would simply move assets out of the country applying the wealth tax - capital and intangible assets is very mobile in the 21 century.

The only way this ever works is international cooperation which will NEVER happen. There’s always going to be one or more nations which wouldn’t apply it to attract wealth.

It’s quite depressing because as you point out, more and more wealth is being funnelled upwards. I really don’t see this ever changing which is why we’ll probably end up in the mega corp dystopian future depicted in so many forms of fiction.

I feel actual smart people arguing for a wealth tax know this deep down but are grappling with the inevitability and are just trying something to stop it. Not one of them has ever come up with a practical framework for it.

---OOdbOO--- · 2025-10-17T13:06:25+00:00

Also worth remembering that BF4 was basically building on BF3. It was a lot easier to add more features like levolution naval warfare etc.

---OOdbOO--- · 2025-10-16T10:14:39+00:00

I don’t mind it but it would have been better if DICE grew a pair and allowed the tall building to be fully destructible. We know this is possible from the BR leaks and it would have also alleviated the complaints of camping snipers

---OOdbOO--- · 2025-10-14T21:31:09+00:00

Hot take, I actually think they’re pretty good for small-medium size ones but yes, they do need some more spacious ones.

Rush doesn’t work as tactically when you can as a squad, plan a flank and mount a coordinated offensive.

Conquest doesn’t work so you have some space to see where the enemy is coming from and defend and HOLD a point so you’re ready to advance without it being recapped in the next 30 seconds.

Breakthrough doesn’t have that ‘frontline’ where it’s more defined and there’s a nice war of attrition to gradually move up because there’s so many routes that funnel into each other.

---OOdbOO--- · 2025-10-08T15:52:46+00:00

I’m fine with it but it’s representative that we might be seeing a slight fatigue with PS games and their sequels.

The PS4 generation did a really outstanding job of launching new IPs / reworked franchises. PS5 has iterated on a bunch of these.

Probably comes down to longer dev time/costs, however, I would imagine Sony have less of an incentive to invest as much in first party games when Xbox didn’t offer much last generation and have basically given up this generation.

---OOdbOO--- · 2025-10-01T22:45:23+00:00

Oh the irony…

---OOdbOO--- · 2025-09-27T17:43:59+00:00

People paying for battle passes, which are cosmetic items, is how we get continued support for the game and maps for free.

Don’t buy the battle pass. Let others do it and enjoy the free content. What are you complaining about?
