I’m really disappointed their StoryNexus platform failed. I know it wasn’t profitable, but it was by far one of the easiest ways to write complex interactive fiction.

Paid expansions, micro transactions, etc. They’ve got options besides just trying to hang on to a full MSRP play.

That’s not quite true. The new CoD game actually sold without that unless you got the fancy-pants edition. Utterly stupid cash grab, but what else can you expect from them?

FFXV sold like gangbusters (and rightfully so). That said, they don’t seem to get that if you release an average game, expecting blockbuster sales numbers is unrealistic unless you have an established franchise of games (vs just franchise branding) ala Call of Duty or Final Fantasy.

I heard this game kinda sucked, though? Does anyone know if it’s any good?

That spider boss is kicking my ass. Maybe I just suck.

This is Kotaku, man. There is literally no Republican president any of these guys would ever find less than horrifically abominable. If you were killing people for Obama, they’d probably laud it regardless of any other context.

Ironically, not an actual exclusive given that there was a Wii U version (which even ran pretty good, for the most part).

You weren’t competing against a literal army of bots back when the PS4 and X1 came out.

Yeah, and you need a pretty new receiver to do HDMI 2.1.

I’m looking at the AVR-X3700W to replace my AVR-X3200W. I have 7.1.2 speakers wired up, and room for 7.1.4, so being able to expand to 11 channels is of interest to me.

Even worse when you’re piping it through a good receiver. That’s another thousand bucks on top of your TV.

Shadow Complex was an awesome game, and now I want to go replay it.

... what? I don’t know what’s happening in your life, but I hope it resolves itself soon. 

Such a fanboy I’ve got a X1X, PS4 Pro, Switch, X360, PS3 60gb, Wii U, PSTV, and Gamecube in the media rack in front of me while I type this on an Alienware. Go find someone else to slander. I’d have pre-ordered a PS5 if I could find someone to sell it to me.

You really think Microsoft bought Zenimax and is going to release all of their competitive advantage onto the PS platform? I am skeptical. I don’t care what they’re saying now, when it comes time to make the XSX a success, they are gonna make decisions that are 100% in line with doing so. If that means letting down…

Atmos works for free on the X1X. You had to pay $14 for the headphones version. I use Atmos with height speakers, so this is a thing for me.

It’s even less compelling now that so many PS games wind up on PC eventually.

“Microsoft isn’t making a case for me to take notice of it, whereas the PS5 promises to have a stable of high quality exclusives”

Yeah, but in McCain and Romney’s defense, they were up against a really stellar Democratic candidate in the form of Barack Obama. I didn’t agree with a fair number of Obama’s policies, but he’s an immensely charismatic and decent human being. Michelle is quite a class act, too. I think you can be a decent person and…
