On the contrary, gamers, as a collective whole, absolutely want multi-player. It’s not an accident that single-player only games (outside of a handful of exceptions) sell a fraction of multiplayer-based titles.

It’s not primarily a single player game. It’s meant to be played with others.

These pieces cover something vital, but also Nathan and crew I think you probably owe Amouranth royalties by now with the amount she has very obviously been used as titbait to drive clicks. One with a veneer of plausible deniability given it is very much germane to the subject, but I mean at a certain point...

Always wild to me that people come to this BLOG and expect every story to be groundbreaking content about EA making a dinosaur game or something. This is an interesting tidbit and completely within the usual wheelhouse.

Hey have you thought about relaxing and not being weird about video games online?

MLB The Show 21 is the first of the series to come to Xbox, and making the leap straight to Game Pass sure is a...

If you can’t find a single compelling thing to play on any one of the major consoles there are only 2 possible conclusions: either you are an ultra die hard fanboy or you simply don’t want to find anything to play.

these comments always tickle me because it’s like, do you literally not enjoy or even play any games that aren’t a Sony first-party release? Do even play games?? 

Exactly. I can totally see people considering The Last of Us, Horizon Zero Dawn, and God of War system-sellers. Sure, they move units. But there are plenty of AAA games that exist on both consoles simultaneously.

What is innovative about a PS5? I would argue that the XBOX Series X has all the same features, plus backwards compatibility. And calling the Switch innovative is a stretch. Its basically a handheld console that came with a dock so you can play it on your TV and its about as powerful as a handheld console can be,…

They have plenty of things to play on their consoles and PC platforms. Indie titles, classic titles, and modern games. Like, is their “exclusive” collection as robust as Sony’s? No, granted, but saying there’s nothing to play is silly.

This just isn’t true at all. The PS4 was no more innovative than the Xbox One (arguably its primary success driver, at least in the early years, was actually that it did less to try and innovate relative to the prior generation). The PS5 is no more innovative than the Xbox Series X, perhaps aside from the controller…

Lmao and yet people buy those consoles, so there is demand.

Bulletstorm (2011). It was funny, fun, over the top and the gameplay mechanic of getting higher scores for more imaginative skills was unique and added an entirely new level of thinking of how best to dispatch enemies. That “skillshot” system then played into upgrades, so there was an incentive to get creative with…

and just like in the game, eri is nowehere to be found in cutscenes :(

Such a bold and refreshing new take. Wonderful. 

so we’ll see whether Game Pass will remain that interesting for long...

I 100% understand devs getting sick of players constantly asking for certain features over and over.

As others have voiced here the Dead by Daylight community can get pretty annoying pretty quickly. In the game, out of the game, there’s a lot of extreme personalities drawn to this game due to its competitive nature and horror theming. I’ve had post-game death threats for losing the match as a killer. Like... sorry I…
