    Middle-Earth: Shadow of War Will Sell Loot Boxes as Microtransactions

    There never is a valid reason for lootboxes in singleplayer based games. Personally I don't care if it's design has you wanting to buy lootboxes or not. They don't belong either way. If someone doesn't have the 'time' to invest in getting better at the game naturally through progression then...

    Middle-Earth: Shadow of War Will Sell Loot Boxes as Microtransactions

    Was going to preorder this in the next couple weeks. Get my preorder in a month before release because the first one was actually pretty solid, a little disappointing (imo) but solid enough to be worthwhile especially if it the new one was updated in every facet to be more immersive / complex or...

    Atlus Issues Threat to Players who Stream Too Far Into Persona 5

    Well I'm not a major streamer, so I won't be streaming it or dealing with the headache / have the funds to afford lawyers for it. But I could definitely see this as a cause someone will take up and completely -shatter- in court. Hell I could almost see Jim Fucking Sterling streaming this from...

    Ubisoft: For Honor Not Designed For Players to Unlock Everything

    I just can't help but be amused by it being called fanboyism when I don't like Ubisoft to begin with, and have no real invested interest in For Honor either. It's a fun game, with silly microtransactions for cosmetics for those that want to throw money at it and invest further into the game...

    Ubisoft: For Honor Not Designed For Players to Unlock Everything

    Microtransactions that only truly lead to cosmetics. As you can unlock all gear to max by withholding spending your earned steel from rep 0-3 (3 being when you unlock the ability to even get 108 gear if I'm not mistaken) and spending your steel on crates at that point : plus natural progression...

    Ubisoft: For Honor Not Designed For Players to Unlock Everything

    Realize that when I said 1v4 wins happen, it's BECAUSE they were *feeding* into my playstyle and NOT adapting, not out playing me. I stacked revenge, they fed me revenge, I won. If they had fought one at a time and when/if I won that fight the next up and comer jumped in and STOPED my execution...

    Ubisoft: For Honor Not Designed For Players to Unlock Everything

    To be specific about it; if I had to guess and it IS a guess since I've only heavily worked on two characters so far in my (checks this time) 120 hours (67 hours in PVP, so not even the technical 100 I thought I was) I'd have to guess it's about 15 hours to get to Rep 4 and max out gear...

    Ubisoft: For Honor Not Designed For Players to Unlock Everything

    This is blatant crap, to be perfectly honest. Gear maxing to 108 is done within the first 3-5 reps, so fairly quick - with absolutely no money put in. Nevermind the fact gear is next to meaningless against someone who's truly better. (Also, editted note: you can't even get max gear until you...

    Ubisoft: For Honor Not Designed For Players to Unlock Everything

    As someone with over 100 hours in the game; it's honestly perfectly reasonable. The only things that take a "Long" time to obtain are purely cosmetic. That's right, you got it.. pointless stuff. Not even major cosmetics- no no; all the armor styles in the game are readily given out and only a...

    Nintendo Doesn't Consider Dead Pixels a Defect

    Well, can't say I was all to inspired to get it before. But a company that doesn't back it's product - can definitely say I'm not going to be getting it now. Dead pixels of any degree if it's noticeable by the consumer = replace or I'd sooner do business elsewhere.

    You want me to BELIEVE anything from you HG? After NMS? No.. wait.. wait.. let me .. HAHAHAHA! Ok.. ok seriously, your trying to sell me that someone hacked your companies website, Seans email AND twitter at the same time? That it was all fake, totally not Sean having a deserved crisis (or)...

    No Man's Sky Under Investigation Over Claims of Misleading Advertising

    +1 I hadn't asked Steam for a refund in over 10 years (.. and I've made some pretty bad calls on games =P) but this one, whole different playing field. I hope Sean doesn't see a cent of profit, sony takes a heavy hammered hit -- and anyone in advertising on that team gets struck for it: the...

    No Man's Sky Under Investigation Over Claims of Misleading Advertising

    There is a god... & Yeah, it's blatant false advertising. I heard nothing of the game prior to the store page 3-4 days before release, day 1 - 1 hour before release I caved and bought it because the TRAILER on the store page was convincing, figured if it looked like that; if space combat was...

    VR headset owners - Disappointed?

    "It adds nothing.." -- so head tracking that puts you in the game and draws you into being immersed as the character your playing hopped on with full body tracking that allows you to crouch down in reality and - in turn, you do the same in the game, capable of reaching down and filling a bucket...

    VR headset owners - Disappointed?

    To anyone that 'can' get there hands on a Vive. Read the below. My recommendation of the most mind-blowing experience is actually the most non-graphical and aged; scarily enough because of it's familiarity 'before' VR.
