6.5 is certainly below average for a $60 AAA game

« on: February 21, 2019, 02:20:12 pm »Bruh Sony didn't even put a 4K blu ray player in their console.I read in the news today that Samsung will no longer make blu ray players and have scrapped plans to make 4K blu ray players.
If you just google ‘blu ray’ and go to the news tab there’s several stories on it and the ties to the end of physical media.
The end of new physical media, perhaps... But that is just Samsung, they license the Bluray technology. When Sony stops making BD players, then you can worry. But even so, no one makes VCRs anymore and that didn't mean the end of VHS.

What game would you treat yourself to or ask for this year?
The options are most likely February/March releases or a pre-order for an April release.

Off Topic / Re: Worst eBay experience
« on: February 20, 2019, 01:22:16 pm »
I haven’t had much bother as a buyer. The couple times I had, eBay would refund me or the seller would kick me back a little money for the misleading condition description.
As a seller though it sucked so bad I didn’t bother after the first time.
I sold Harvest Moon for Nintendo Switch on eBay and was like ‘hey thanks for your payment, I’ll put it in the post tomorrow’ and the guy replies something like ‘good and I want it special delivery bubble wrapped for that postage’. My auction clearly had it as standard second class postage. I did charge a couple pound because I wasn’t sure how much it would be. If they didn’t like it they could have factored it in to bid less. It was all very bullshit.

That’s the way all entertainment (music, movies, games) is going.
Are you on board?
I think as much as people dig their feet in they will cave eventually.
Things change whether you want them to or not. You can’t buy physical PC games anymore and the few you can just contain a code to a digital download on Steam.
What are you going to do, just never consume any new media?
PS Now and XB Game Pass are already testing the waters and normalising it to consumers.
Physical media will look eccentric and archiac in our lifetime.
All these blu ray cases we have now will be kinda like going to an old person’s house and seeing VHS and cassettes everywhere.
When little Tommy age 13 is streaming Xbox on his smart watch, phone and toaster the discs are going to look like relics of a bygone age.

I'm conflicted. I like that gritty realistic Last of Us-esque aesthetic but hordes of zombies are about as mundane as an opponent as I could possibly imagine for a video game.

Modern Video Games / Just watched multiple review and gameplay videos of Crackdown 3
« on: February 17, 2019, 05:58:21 pm »
Wow that is very disappointing considering the fun Crackdown 1 was in 2007.
It looks like a budget last gen game and all of that destructibility that the game was being hyped around at announcement is entirely non-existent in the single player campaign.
The game is at 60 on Metacritic for xbox one at the minute.
This is very sad. It's the epitome of sub-par mediocrity from what I've seen of it.
Open world games have moved on so far from this. And, Saints Row has done this exact game but much, much better.
This was one of few Microsoft titles outside of Forza/Halo/Gears and it's basically a dead franchise now after two missteps in both Crackdown 2 and Crackdown 3.
It's included in Game Pass so you can play it for next to nothing if you wanted to but I do assess games in terms as value for my time as well as money and this just doesn't look worth my time.
It was just pooped out as a stealth release with no fanfare behind it at all.
It looks so repetitive and boring. IGN gave it a 5.0.
State of Decay 2 is sitting at a 66 metacritic on xbox one too. I played that game and thought it sucked. The first one was very enjoyable despite the jank, it was at least novel.
It's really hard to want to follow Microsoft into the next console generation with this kind of output. I like the controller, I like the backwards compatibility - but where are the great new games? The best I've played from them this gen is Froza Horizon 3 but racing is a pretty niche genre.
Sad times.
Probably gonna own only PlayStation next gen unless there's multiple must have mind blowing launch titles from Xbox with their new studio acquisitions.
