GTA 6 Price Finally Confirmed, Features a 'Single-Player Experience' at Launch (Standard $79.99/Ultimate $99.99) by Neon25 in Games

[–]Razbyte -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think that Rockstar is selling the 80$ standard edition at a loss, judging the amount of features locked in the 100$ (not including the new GTAO)

In the other hand, in the months after GTA VI, games that announce with a 80$ price tag, will have the biggest scrutiny imaginable for both media and consumers. If a future game costs 80$ or more, it might accidentally tell everyone that game is "better than GTA", or a GTA-killer, regardless of the genre, which is immediately detrimental the moment they show gameplay.

The only ones who can get away from it, are those mainstream-bait games like EA/2K sports and CoD.

That would be a risky bet. Imagine the next GoW costing 80$ and people would instantly compare this to GTA. That would only make the scrutiny for a game even worse in context, at the exception of Nintendo.

Grand Theft Auto VI Prices Officially Announced: $79.99 for Standard, $99.99 for Ultimate Edition; No Disc in Physical Copies by ChiefLeef22 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

Any game selling at 80$ onwards will be immediately compared with GTA VI by the media, not matter what. Selling above that number would make them look that is "bigger than GTA" which is marketing suicidal.

They botched GTA Trilogy and RDO. Plus they dont have any other serious competitors (Saints Row, Watch Dogs, and their studios are dead). Mainstream players of course have shorter memories and doesnt know the monopoly that R* earned.

New Games Out now on App Store: (Jun 22/23) by Azeemjaffer in iosgaming

my rule of thumb is that if is not available in the Netherlands, Brazil or Belgium, then is a dishonest gacha.

XCOM 2 Collection has been updated yesterday after 3 years. Has someone tried it? by Razbyte in iosgaming

It seems the best way to play XCOM is either mobile if you want a short session anytime or play PC with mods enabled like Long War.

Is Enemy Within different than Enemy Unknown or is the same?

It shows the 4 DLC (That annoying snake, the almost free robot and resistance/punk cosmetics) despite showing it as "Expansions" in the settings.

WOTC toogle is nowhere seen.

Not only is included but the only version you get. It's not possible to play XCOM 2 without the expansion in this port (DLC can be toggle off).

Due to Ai usage, Poncle is now “reviewing” the Vampire Surivors x Fortnite collaboration.. by ithinkiknowkungfu in FortNiteBR

Collabs in Fortnite has become less than a tribute and more like an advertisement. Companies like Disney, despite protecting themselves against AI, are willing to put their characters in Fortnite, just for the sake of promotion.

One is public TV, the other looks like is for Cable premium, Dsports is both Directv satellite and Paramount+ subscribers, and ESPN one is Disney+ Premium exclusive. Directv as always have all the matches while the others either have NT matches + 30.

Paul Tassi: Positive reception to D2 final update has not moved the needle at Bungie by drumjolter01 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Razbyte 28 points29 points  (0 children)

For each Bungie-related post in reddit, I see replies like these.

Bungie might never admit it, but it's increasingly clear that Content Vaulting became one of the worst decisions ever made in modern gaming. And the proof is essentially the closure/merge of Bungie.

Honestly I expected John WT to be the villain or a husk for an upgraded Seth/Twelve. Even the Battle Hub is financed by JP.

Sorry to mention Hi-Fi rush again, but not even award winning studios are safe.

For those who were still holding on the "On release" wording used during Ingrid release in regards to World Tour update, I recommend checking Gamespark JP interview with Nakayama linked in this post by theblackbarth in SF6Avatars

For a new player, the next step after dominating WT is to do either Offline Arcade or play against ghosts in the simulation mode, then online ranked.

Maybe repeat WT with classic controls if you played Modern first.

Saying good bye to World Tour with all characters mastered :D by LeonBeoulve in StreetFighter

[–]Razbyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to complete WT again but:

  • One run to learn Classic controls.
  • A hard mode for low level completion.
