J4MES OX4D

I didn't bother with MW3 this year and with COD games of late struggling to hold my interest even going into December, I ended up playing stacks of other games instead which were so much more beneficial to my time and enjoyment.  Unless Black Ops 14 or whatever number we're at is a radical improvement in terms of quality and consumer ethics then I can't see me ever returning to the franchise. As predicted, Microsoft's acquisition has had absolutely no benefit whatsoever to the gamer just like with Bethesda and if anything, things are even worse than before. Such a shame because there was real hope after MW2019 but once again the franchise feels absolutely exhausted and way off where it should be morally and in quality. 

Totally understandable Gary, I've definitely been playing less myself. 
I try do the events, weekly challenges and any new guns that drop. 
Some of the calling card ones as well, as they might have more obscure challenges or things I don't normally use. 

Tbh since getting interstellar I found I've little to no reason to turn the game on, there maybe some interest in any fg Friday that might occur however it's not just cod where gaming is concerned at the moment which might be down to the fact the winter should be over.

Nice to see Microsoft making a positive difference to the franchise🤣

Dead Space Remake - screenshots really don’t do this game justice!
 

Could have sworn there was already a thread on this but apparently not...
 
I've been watching progress and checking out each update. Plays really well but it's a one man team, so we'll see how it goes.
 
Latest update out now and it's currently free.
 
 

I am kind of done with the series again I think, it was good fun playing the last game with FG.
 
This one with it essentially being dlc that we have paid full price for it kind of left a sour taste and then you see crap like this and it's just a bit scummy. I know you have to blame people buying stuff like this but equally so it's just scummy from the devs.

Some screenshots from Planet of Lana, beautiful art style! 

Looking good 🙂
 
 

Considered making a new thread for this but makes sense to update this one.
Gameplay video with very little gameplay is very contemporary marketing 🙃
 
 

Absolutely insane, how can anyone justify this. 
Is it literally cosmetic? 
Sounds like pay to win at that price. 
It's more than the base game cost. 🤢

Wow! They’ve actually released an item for £80?! 
 
That’s insane!

Mine come from Steam Akami where no upload is required so I hope mine aren't responsible for any high bills😎

This sorta thing has been around for many years yet yet publishers keep adopting it yet it surely doesn't benefit sales in the long run. Some games have had such convoluted pre-release/puchase aspects in play which just alienate players so much, rather than spending even the base game rate, they wait for a sale as you say. Who could forget EA's epic fail charts..
 
The thing that pisses me off with this $70/$110/$130 garbage is that the people that are paying the standard base game rate are actually getting the game 3 days late and are missing out on content as well as risking spoilers. Those that are getting ripped off paying $110 get to essentially play the game on time (even though it says 'early access' and are paying $40 extra for one shitty mission and a low-effort .pdf. 
 
I think Ubisoft are slyly trying to push people to their garbage subscription service where you can play the entire thing for $15. Might not be a bad one-off shout especially for a one and done Ubisoft single player title. Games like Baldurs Gate 3 keep it simple - £50 and the entire game is yours with no bullshit or having to miss out on stuff because you didn't pay £30-40 more.

I don’t like the idea of selling season passes as part of deluxe editions etc, especially for games we have no idea are even good or not! 
 
Even when God of War 2018, my favourite game of all time, had the sequel Ragnarok coming out I refused to buy any deluxe edition. Just give me my £70 standard version and I’m happy.
 
For Star Wars Outlaws, I want to see a bit more before I commit £70, but I probably will! 

This classic
