Yes because this has really worked out for them this far... 🙄

Hey, at least he's being up front

@shalomanoray: it certainly failed by EA's metrics. I think the game looks like shit. I think you missed the entire point of what I was saying. My point was never to dispute whether or not dragon Age was actually good. We were discussing reviewer integrity and on what basis a review should be considered legitimate. If you ever thought that this was about sales then I'm at a loss here.

I know people who really like the game. Doesn't mean I think it's good but I don't doubt that they like it regardless of what I think. My problem is with people acting like there's some kind of dumb conspiracy going on whenever a reviewer likes or dislikes a game that they don't.

@girlusocrazy: I am profoundly disappointed that Sony thought it would be a good idea to waste the talent at Bluepoint on a live service game...

Live service games are a prison sentence for developers in the event those games are successful because they can never move away from working on them.

Bluepoint deserved better than to have them waste all their talent and resources on live service slop.

Honestly, both Xbox and Sony really fumbled this generation. Sony is too busy chasing live service trends all while Xbox dilutes its identity by declaring everything an Xbox.

Leadership at these companies should be held accountable, not the developers who eat those costs through layoffs.

@fattiesgonewild: The Wii U sold extremely poorly. They would literally have to try to fail to repeat the blunder of the Wii U. While I have no doubt the Nintendo Switch successor will not reach the high sales numbers of its predecessor, I think it'll easily soar past Xbox Series X and PS5 in due time. The main sticking point will be the price.

The most they can charge is $450 without causing massive public outcry. I think $400 is probably the safest bet for Nintendo despite the increased costs of inflation. However, I think they'll charge $450 since Nintendo doesn't like to sell new hardware at a loss.

It was simple and to the point as a teaser should be. I don't think it's any surprise that the new hardware would be the least interesting thing about this device. We got what we wanted, more powerful hardware while continuing with the successful concept brought to fruition by the original Switch. If anything, it's a relief Nintendo chose to not rock the boat this time around.

Now, if the system has a weak launch lineup comparable to the likes of the 3DS, then I will be very disappointed. However, I have faith that Nintendo has a few heavy hitters ready and I look forward to the bump in performance for games I already own.

@abowman3d: I personally prefer unhinged/untethered Kojima. We have plenty of other games that adhere to the status-quo.

@illegal_peanut: I'm not super big on any of his games but I absolutely respect the hell out of him. He cannot be bought and he sticks to his vision

@bdrtfm: He definitely didn't say what you said. You, on the other hand, completely regurgitated what you just said in the comment you made before. Just an observation
