Free game for xbone this month is Gone Home. Probably the shittiest well reviewed game I've ever played.
On that note, I just finished Layers of Fear which like Gone Home, is a "walking simulator" game, but much MUCH better. Lots of great jump scares, creepy imagery, and some truly excellent and freaky space manipulation. |
Fuuuuck Gone Home. It's a walking symptom of so many things wrong today.

In one of those "Did You Know Gaming" type facts, Namco originally had plans for Final Fantasy VII's Cloud to be the special guest fighter for the PS2 version of Soul Calibur II.
They had a tentative deal in place to use the character but something happened at the last minute causing it to be shelved. Tekken's Heihachi was used as a quick replacement to ensure each version of the game still had an exclusive fighter. Came from a recent 8-4 Play podcast episode with Ubisoft's Nao Higo and Jason Shroeder as the guests. At the time of Soul Calibur II, Higo was the Localization Producer for Namco. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1444247 |
For those interested in Middle-Earth: Shadow of War, the real ending to the game is currently rumored to be tied heavily into the game's microtransaction system.
Based on several reviews so far, the game takes roughly 40-50 hours in order to get the real ending and the final act is grind-heavy likely in order to entice players towards purchasing lootboxes to speed things up. https://aotf.com/news/shadow-of-war-true-ending/ |

1) According to a report from Digital River, the gaming industry has roughly tripled in value since the introduction of loot boxes and similar forms of microtransactions in games.

Not even an hour into Shadow of War and I've had my first holy shit moment with the nemesis system.
I run into this super powerful orc captain while chasing another that was retreating. He and his gang pretty much wreck my shit. Some random spear chucking enemy ends up delivering the final blow, which of course promotes him to captain and he's now Bolg the Tark Killer. So I say fuck that, and take on a revenge mission to go kill him. Not only will I get sweet retribution, but if you kill a captain who once killed you get legendary gear from him. Unfortunately he also gets some major buffs and combined with the fact that I just started and don't have the mechanics mastered yet....he killed me again. Almost fucking had him. At this point I'm thinking I should probably leave it and just level up for now. But pride won out, and I decided to go after him one last time. It's not til I activated the mission that I realized that for killing me again his level increased to over three times my own. So yeah. That was demoralizing. But I manage to kill the other nearby orcs first so I can battle him one on one. He taunts me all like "You know the more times I kill you, the more people call me Tark Slayer". I give it my best shot, but his level is just too high now. He knocks me down and as the killing blow cinematic starts, I start thinking about things I can do to level up and come back. Right before his sword hits me some random soldier comes in and IMPALES HIM KILLING HIM FUCKING DEAD RIGHT FUCKING THERE. The screen flashed something, and the soldier said something but I didn't see or hear it because I'm just sitting there with my mouth agape processing what just happened for a good 5 seconds before I yell FUCK YEAH and scare my roommate half to death. It was probably one of the coolest gaming moments I've had in a long time. This game is fucking tits. |

"This new patent appears to be about how Activision plans to use “tricks” in their matchmaking system to lure players to purchase more in-game items through the course of playing a game. Specifically, the patent mentions that high skilled players get paired with low-skilled players to purposefully encourage low-skilled players to spend more money to get better in-game items to match up against higher skilled players." |
The only game I'm thinking this would apply to is CoD. Outside of Activision, I can see this being used in Battlefront 2. But... I dunno. I don't think 'salty purchases of loot' is a thing with players. I'd love to see if this works at any level.
|
Im ok with them doing this, its business. Just thought it was interesting.
|
This may circumvent XBL's own native True Skill matchmaking (or whatever it's called now) that every developer has to use as a base to some extent. If it's matching people outside of connection strength, W/L, and game specific skill rating then that could be a problem... competitively. But that presumes Activision gives a damn which is very unlikely.
|
Just found out there are in game challenges you can complete to get loot box currency in shadow of war. Making the whole loot crate fiasco even more overblown than it already was.
|
Still doesn't stop the end game from being a horrendous grind without spending money.
Honestly, I don't care because the second half of the game before the 1st ending already overstays its welcome and is boring as shit anyway. |

I'm talking about the people who are constantly whining about it. Trust me I get the abundance of games, and the ADD nature of it all. I have so many games in my backlog, that I've lost count.
But these people that go on forums and complain about it being this great injustice as if everything in a game should just be handed to them. Just because there are a lot of good games out there doesn't mean developers shouldn't be able to put in rewards for players that want to grind it out and earn them. And in this day and age no one should be complaining about a cutscene being hard to get, because if you really want to see it that badly without grinding for it, you can just watch it on youtube. Honestly, if there weren't microtransactions no one would even be talking about it. Despite the fact that microtransactions for grind heavy games of all kinds have existed for years now. |
Even Battlefront 2....the problem there is that there is one specific star card that is incredibly overpowered. Nerf that, and the micro transactions are no different than the shortcuts that have existed in battlefield for years now.
|
No one is saying that a game should be handed to them its that creating a grind in hopes that I will skip it with money is insulting
|
(Ill get the game just not until its $20)
|
Think I'm just getting old and grumpy and as such, feel thatveveryone is whinging too much these days.

Also admittedly may have an"I have a new fire pro so anyone else can do anything they want and I don't care" attitude going on.

Quote:
In Battlefront 2 actual game changing perks of various levels are on the line, and merely having a lot of these cards enable you to have a bigger set (three slots) leading to an objectively stronger character on the field. And that's not even mentioning the higher lvl cards that you can just get at random, or create by upgrading a normal card. A direct comparison would be if BF offered loot packs with very useful perks in them, with a chance for even better versions of perks, for no other reason than you purchased it, and then you can stack it after the fact. Everything about Battlefront 2 is much better than the last one but their loot system is easily the most infringing on gameplay balance. I don't mind as much since this was always designed on the more casual end of shooters, the last one was just too casual. Not it's a good mix of arcade and agency. |

I still think Beerus is a lock. MAYBE Goku Black, but we already have 2 Gokus in this game, so I dunno about that one.
Don't forget that Freiza is technically the Super version. I definitely think Hit will make it in at some point. |

It's amazing how well Amiibo does and I think it's the characters. Even with Disney Infinity I could just go and buy figures of all those characters, but the Waluigi Amiibo was the first time I could probably get a Waluigi figure.

Huuuuuge blunder, not offering the season pass with the collector's edition of DBFZ. I was actually considering it, as that statue and steelbook look mint, but not anymore.

Bandai's community manager also made things a bit worse by lashing out against those who were upset. Stated people shouldn't expect freebies or Season Pass discounts when they buy special editions even though its a pretty common feature now.

Guess I'll see what this Battlegrounds thing is all about cause I still don't get it.
|
What's not to get?
|
The popularity of what is essentially an elimination team deathmatch. I'd like to see the fuss about something I could replicate in Halo 5's custom games mode.
|
I really doubt you could replicate the experience on Halo 5. The basic concept, yes.
|
What's the specific concept?

I mean it's like saying what's the difference between conquest in destiny and conquest in battlefield.
|
So literally an adaptation of Battle Royale? Thought the name was coincidental.
Also you can still make that in Halo 5. But it's a neat mix of concepts. |
It gets stale very quickly. Same thing over and over and over again. No progression.
Good for E-sports I guess. But I really hope this kind of experience doesn't keep trending. It's just so shallow in the long run and uninspired. |
Yeah, I won a game and it felt like I had finished a single player game. No desire to go back.

Apparently in COD WW2 you get a "social score" for watching people open lootboxes and for people watching you. Also apparently the higher your social score the better loot you get in boxes.
I wish this word hadn't been co-opted by a bunch of twats as a catch-all insult, but that is literally a cuck score. |
Do others get to see the contents as well since this sounds like a modified idea from that patent where they purposely wanted to rig matchmaking in games to ensure people spent money on loot boxes. Idea being to get losing players to spend money to get the cool weapons being used against them.
|
Oh yeah, everyone sees what you get. I think as this is just in the social space, it's seperstw to the matchmaking idea. But it sounds like CoD just wants to be focused on getting lootbox purchases over being fun now.
|
Presentation wise that's actually kinda cute, but yeah it's very clear what the intentions are here.
