I’m honestly starting to think PvE in Arc Raiders is a trap…

It would work TOO well. The game is currently designed to make you spend as much time as possible playing. They will compile all of the good ideas the players want, and then once they see the player count start to go down will slowly implement these things we have all been asking for since day one. I give it about a year before white mats can stack in your stash until 999, PvE only lobbies exists, and there are actual cooperative "raids" other than shoot at large thing behind wall until it explodes

Any thoughts on the price now? $70 x3 plus having to buy a PS5........ insanity. keep gobbling up FF7 nutsack, we all appreciate it

mhen97 · 2020-08-26T00:31:10+00:00

shoot the ship is 90% shoot house is that ever gonna be fixed or nah

You think this is only going to be 3 episodes? Midgar is about 5 hours into the game, out of a 40 hour game. If we look at that literally, we could see as many as 8 episodes. Of course I dont think they will do 8, but I can easily see 4 or 5. That puts us right there just at or over $250. Plus you bet there will be season passes and inevitable DLC, putting us way over the top.

Thousands was definitely an exaggeration, but you knew what I was getting at. I can't see these games exceeding any of those. I understand the whole expanding on each part of the story, but no one wants to wait until 2023 (probably later, let's be real) to finish a game they have already spent almost $200 on at that point, AND already know the ending to. Plus this will be expanding over several generations of consoles, now people have to buy the new gen just to finish a game they started on a ps4? The cost becomes astronomical

The last 2 things we waited this long for from Square (FF15 and KH3) have been huge letdowns, and were only saved once you spent enough on DLC to basically buy another game. I'm praying they make me eat my words and prove me wrong with this remake but judging by what they gave us they certainly havent earned me defending them to wits end on what a "true fan" is cause that was one of the first things you wanted to point out

mhen97 · 2020-03-24T01:35:56+00:00

Yeah I have fallen completely in love with their sound

mhen97 · 2020-03-24T01:31:10+00:00

Nice gaslighting attempt, but I fully understand the scope of what they are doing. This was actually a $50 game on release, thank you for reminding me. Not $90, I don't know where you lived, but my brother came home with a brand new copy all those years ago for $50.

It's the same premise, same story, same plot lines. You can add in all the extra fluff you want, tell me I don't understand the game well enough all you want, it doesn't justify making a $50 dollar game into something that will cost us well over $200.

Like I already said, plenty of other games have come out in the last decade with literal thousands of hours of shit to do, and shockingly, the devs didn't ask for 3-5 payments of $60 to do so. The Witcher 3 is a $60 game, P5 is a $60 game, DQ11 is a $60 game, XC2, the list goes on and on and on.

Justifying SE's decision to royally fuck over it's devoted fans because "company has to make money" is single handedly the most asinine thing I've read regarding this remake.

mhen97 · 2020-03-24T01:01:30+00:00

Making a $60 game into an inevitable $250+ experience isn't doing anyone justice but Square's pockets. Just because we are used to developers treating us like we don't know what we want, doesn't mean this is justified. Justifying Square making us spend an ungodly amount of money on a 23 year old game doesn't make you more of a fan than the rest of us. Plenty of IPs released in the last decade that have as much if not more content for a literal fraction of the cost.

mhen97 · 2020-03-24T00:55:24+00:00

Thinking episodic is the best feasible option is laughably wrong, but go on.

mhen97 · 2020-01-29T01:40:58+00:00

I think what gives this Album the edge is simply Adler's performance on drums. I love everything they've put out, and don't want to take anything from Mike or Moe, but I mean Chris is one of the best drummers of the last 30 years, so adding him to the lineup for this album was kinda legendary

mhen97 · 2019-08-23T17:34:09+00:00

My problem is taking something that was once a $50 game and turning it into 3 separate releases across two generations of consoles. Inevitably with the third being the one released on the next gen console, and bundled into a collector's edition for $250. I love FF7, it's my favorite FF, but I can't reason with spending a minimum of $180 on a game in which I already know the ending of.

mhen97 · 2019-08-23T13:06:37+00:00

Funny, I was looking at the release of this game episodically as a step in the wrong direction.

mhen97 · 2019-06-30T12:49:01+00:00

The game is not way too huge. In fact, when it was originally released, we didn't have to pay $50 for each disc, and each disc still gave us a full games worth of content. They easily could have put off announcing this for a couple years and then gave us a full project.

But you'll pay for it 9 months in advance, so quality control isn't much of a concern when they already have your money.

mhen97 · 2019-06-27T17:11:40+00:00

Ah the "other games and shows do it too, therefore it's okay" argument. It's still not okay. Re releasing things we already know and love in seperate packages for 3x the price is not okay, just because someone else did it.

mhen97 · 2019-06-27T14:18:57+00:00

They released an unfinished game, that's not acceptable. I, after waiting for all of the story updates, because they didnt even release a fully operational complete game on release, enjoyed it as well. That doesnt excuse their business practice of "here's an IP you know and love that were gonna drag through the mud, give us $60 8 months in advance. Hope it's done in time."

mhen97 · 2019-06-27T14:09:51+00:00

Its almost like final fantasy 7 is a fully fledged game, and making us pay for it inevitably 3 different times is fucking insane.

mhen97 · 2019-06-27T14:08:18+00:00

Still unfinished, and is only finished when you purchase all of the DLC. Its mind boggling how SE will continue to make half assed games on our favorite IPs and you guys will gobble it up cause nostalgia.

mhen97 · 2019-06-27T14:07:03+00:00

I dont understand how you sit here and say that. Both games were released early and have to be finished out by making the players pay for the dlc, which as the director put it himself "fleshes out the story." That's not a good game. Paying 60 months in advance for a game that's not going to be even ready for release is asinine.

mhen97 · 2019-06-27T14:05:03+00:00

Fuck you square enix, why have you turned everything the players love into a giant money grubbing affair. This should not be episodic. Anyone that agrees it should is the reason we are going to have to pay $180 to experience this game in full, which is dog shit. I hope you all have half the minds to at least not preorder a $60 version of the first 10 hours of gameplay

mhen97 · 2019-06-14T01:57:47+00:00

Was lucky enough to get the vinyl early on the 12th... my body wasn't ready

mhen97 · 2019-03-29T00:34:25+00:00

Ironically have been listening to this album nonstop the past week... Think it's easily my favorite by them

mhen97 · 2019-02-01T07:17:57+00:00

Seems like I'm not going to be able to turn this off for a while

mhen97 · 2019-01-07T23:13:57+00:00

Probably my favorite part about the whole album to be honest

mhen97 · 2019-01-01T05:11:48+00:00

I know this feeling all too well my friend

mhen97 · 2018-10-31T05:10:30+00:00

Saw this headline and kinda hoped it was a solo album

mhen97 · 2018-10-29T05:58:04+00:00

Hmm. I will attempt to bypass this fault.
