I know some won’t agree but they added enough online content for free to justfly the lack of any paid single player DLC. They had single player characters in a lot of the online content with some story. Yes yes it’s only online but you could always open a invite only session and do a lot of the content only…

I don’t mind the leveling up grind in games so long as the game continues to allow you things to do. When there’s a lot of just waiting around involved is when I start to take issue with it. I’m more inclined to dump some money into a game that keeps me engaged than one that makes it blatantly obvious that I need to…

This seems like a bad idea.

It’s been my thought since it was announced that this should never have been labeled a Metal Gear title. It served no purpose other than to alienate the player base. Following the success of Metal Gear Solid V with this would just tarnish the name. Given all the controversy surrounding Kojima’s departure would also…

This is pretty imaginative, but at the end of the day, you’re spending $70 to $80 for cardboard.

It’s funny you should mention that, because I actually got in an argument with my friend about the quests being repetitive. I’d play the quests for the story, but found the gameplay to be a bit dull.

That was one of the problems I had when I was playing WoW. I started after Cataclysm, so for me, the world was always in ruin. My friends who had been playing since the beginning would tell me about how much things had changed by events, but the effect was just lost on me.

Isn’t there an overarching story line that you’re supposed to follow from zone A to zone B, etc? Back when I played WoW, I tried to follow the narrative, but kept getting derailed by friends who insisted that I power level and kept dropping me off in new zones with no consideration that I was becoming more and more…

Building a PC seems a lot scarier than it actually is. I’m far from an expert, but I’ve managed to build 3 PCs now with no major issue, so long as you’re careful. For me, installing the CPU and cooling fan were the trickiest parts because of how tight those components fit together with the mother board.

Well, the lottery has to tell you the odds of actually winning anything and people still play that, so...

I think the concept of this game could work if you got rid of the perma-death part. Competing teams against a series of challenges with an audience that can manipulate the game sounds interesting. Being permanently banned from ever touching it again should you die in game immediately takes the fun out of it though. I…

The difference is that if I were to buy a house near town in real life, no one else could buy the same house. There’s nothing stopping every player in GTA from buying the same property, making supply and demand arguments meaningless.

So, is this the new standard for game development now?

The only Apple product I have is an older iPod Touch. I haven’t really found an alternative to that, though I’d like to. Apple has such a stranglehold on the market that no one really makes more than a half-assed alternative. My iPod syncs up well with my car’s stereo since Honda actually built in iPod functionality,…

Exactly. What makes these villains and story arcs interesting is that they had years to develop in the comics before they came to fruition. Apocalypse should have been building his influence and accumulating his Horsemen in after-credits scenes while the X-Men tackled other tasks. That gives you the chance to grow to…

Red Dead Redemption 2 is what Rockstar is currently working on. They might be working on a new GTA, but it won’t be in 2018. I’ll be keeping an eye on what they do with RDR2, but if Rockstar takes their games down the same road as most FPS games, where it’s just multiplayer with a token singleplayer tacked on, I’ll…

The problem I have is that I don’t have a lot of friends who are into GTA, and the ones who are typically play on different schedules than myself. So, GTA Online has largely been a single player experience for me, rendering 95% of what’s available off-limits. You can’t really do heists, you can’t really do anything…

Any chance any of this content is coming to single player? I hate how GTA V basically got dropped in favor of GTA Online and Shark Cards.

I’m glad you enjoy the system, but it’s a predatory cash grab that more or less requires you to buy into the system to stand a chance against players who either don’t want to pour time into a grind to level up or who feel compelled to buy into the system simply because it’s there. It preys on players with addictive…

The look kind of reminds me of what was done when they remastered DuckTales.
