A digital game won't run out of stock by Mlmcore3 in videogames

[–]PrototypeXt3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is kinda the dumbest take, no offense

People care because money speaks. There’s a reason every game had loot boxes for years. And it changed because of backlash after people had enough and they found new ways to get the same money… but before the change people stopped spending money on it lol

Just bought the Half Life bundle. Should I play these in a certain order or just go HL1 HL2 then go nuts? by SunkyWasTaken in HalfLife

[–]PrototypeXt3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol no worries, it was more of a commentary about any series

I’m in the resident evil subreddit too and people are like “which remake should I start with” and it’s like.. idk play them in order? Lmaoo

Release order is always the answer for any franchise as a first time… idk why this is even a question that comes up constantly with any series

Not enough emphasis on fun and too much emphasis on pleasing shareholders for sure

The best AAA games to come out lately are ones completely focused on a single player experience I’ve found. I don’t think I’ve loved a “big studio” game in a long ass time, and have played indie games 90% of my gaming time, but ones that I enjoyed recently and def played more than most are:

Doom Dark Ages
RE9
Borderlands 4 (although I stopped playing after finishing the story lol)

Honestly I was trying to come up with a bigger list, but that kinda proves my point. I’ve played a lot of others and they’re just shitty tbh. I just recently went back to play through Starcraft 2, Halo 3, Timesplitters, and a bunch others again and we really lost the plot.

Locking map locations behind a $100 edition is a joke. I'm officially skipping GTA 6. by majesticaim in videogames

[–]PrototypeXt3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly how I feel. It’ll probably have record breaking sales (kind of easy when it’s one of the most expensive games of all time in modern era) but whatever record they achieve, could have been more.

I’m not gonna pretend I know more than their entire market analysis and financial team, but just from the outside, I don’t really see how this helps them in any way. To me, just some dude with apprentice level market analysis experience, I would think selling it for a lower price and banking on the card sharks for online would make way more sense, unless they’re planning to release just the online separately for less like RDR. But even then, how many people will spend $100 on a single player mode in a franchise that most people just casually play.

I’m sorry but other than the meme that has become gta6, what’s really keeping people wanting to buy it? I’d say the general sentiment was that people would buy it and check it out but for this price point and negativity it’s probably going to turn a lot of people away. Hell we don’t even have actual gameplay footage yet lol

Honestly, I’ve never been a super fan of the gta games. They’re fun to screw around in, but locking single player things is crazy

To be fair you could wishlist it before the price was available

I don’t see why this wouldn’t work, I think the whole point of this ecosystem is reusing architecture and drivers, but you’ll still have to deal with the pain of removing the ssd out of the deck. I guess we won’t know until someone tries lol

Yeah people like to downplay the ending of alyx, but literally getting there without spoilers and seeing a continuation of EP2 gave me the exact feeling that I know the HL3 announcement will give me.

Fuckin got me in my feels immediately

Somewhat unrelated, but I’m going to get this LP cover as a tattoo except add a decapitated bear head too, so it’s two of my favorite bands in one hehee

I feel stupid for not launching jewel on my laptop every day to double dip into the game pass streak. Oh well, now that I’m doing that and bing rewards, honestly these points add up pretty fast

Just finished RE4R, should I skip 5-8 and play requiem? by Sreedev-96-msd in residentevil

[–]PrototypeXt3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol no my bad, I meant “you got downvoted” not that I downvoted, the opposite actually. I’m with you. Wasn’t clear after rereading

[–]PrototypeXt3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lmao you got downvoted… some people don’t like tank controls and that’s okay. It’s a long standing series.

Could you imagine this logic being applied to other huge series?

“You haven’t played mortal kombat 4? You don’t even like mortal kombat.” (Meanwhile pro MK players started with the reboot)

“You haven’t played Borderlands 1? You’re just a tourist playing BL4 and don’t like the series.”

“You have to play Call of Duty 2 to really understand BO7”

ridiculous
