    @Barighm: I’m not conflating the production value or corporate framework here. You can compare the software without the association of the narrative surround the publisher.I’m really pointing out that...

    @Barighm: I disagree to a point.Ghost was done extremely well. Some of what made Ghost top notch, Horizon made bland of the sake of accessibility. (She solves puzzles before you even see them half the...

    @cboye18: 100% agree with you.They could have really dug into the overrides and trap setting more but both failed terribly and felt way less satisfying (other than flying) than the first title.

    @hardwenzen: while I don’t care much about AC games, I did think that HZD was one of the best PS4 and enjoyed every moment getting the plat. I don’t agree entirely with your assessment but I also agr...

    @sladakrobot: I understand where you are coming from, I’d agree that the access to the garage is a disservice. As I said, we’ve known online for months now. Kinda of the same agreement to play as the ...

    @johnny0779: Haha whatever. Not only have we known about always online for several months - plus you can still play arcade if the servers went down - how’d you not know that?Plus, what do Destiny or I...

    @wahsobe: you literally have no rebuttal. But cheerleading is always ok. I hope you get to play some of these games one day.

    @gamerbum: it’s funny that when a month like February has a dozen AAA releases (the biggest in recent memory - the critical acclaimed games you still have to pay for… GamePass had crickets …If you thi...

    @just1mohr: actually there are more us out there. I buy a game (new or used) (often 3 on Black Friday) and then sell the disks. So my average game cost is around $10-15.I don’t go back and play games ...

    @xnshd: of course, we know they ‘Time to beat’ listed the top 5 games left unfinished by their tracking were all on GamePass.I guess my question is that outside of multiplayer games, isn’t it going to...

  • sty1e_bender posted a message on the post Netflix Responds To Microsoft's Planned Acquisition Of Activision Blizzard, Teases "Absolute Best" Service.

    @xnshd: I think it’s more than that.I’m the same with him. I usually buy a game and then sell it so it’s between $5-$15 total in cost after shipping.In 2021 I platinum’d Spider-man remastered (free), ...

    @zaryia: you know. I can’t think of any publisher Sony has purchased in the past 20 years. I can think of two of the biggest in the world MS had in the past 2….You conflate studio with publisher

    “ Much like the original Matrix, this is a movie that fans will be rewatching for years to come”I actually don’t think so at all.

  • sty1e_bender posted a message on the post Game Of The Year 2021 - Deathloop.

    @lonewolf1044: sure MS gets some of the money - as I’m sure Sony does as they funded it - but MS gets ZERO credit for any of it.

  • sty1e_bender posted a message on the post Game Of The Year 2021 - Deathloop.

    @theduckofdeath: They were thanked by the devs - “for believing in our vision” aka this game wouldn’t exist if Sony didn’t give them money to make it - not MS.
