I should probably rephrase it as the “Zelda bump”, because like I said to the other guy I never said it applies to all their games. I’ve seen those articles and I’m right there alongside everyone else saying the people saying that are full of shit.

LOL, that’s a whole lotta false assumptions you made in that comment. When did I call Zelda and Mario shitty? Right I didn’t. I’m merely stating that JUST because it’s Mario and Zelda it’s instantly going to be nominated for, and probably win, game of the year.

When it comes to Mario and Zelda the Nintendo bump is in full effect. I never said it applies to all their games.

Its Metacritic scores only reflect that because Horizon doesn’t get a “bump” in the same way Mario and Zelda do. Ever heard of the Nintendo bump? Well now you have.

Trading cards are a form of gambling as well, yes. Who’s talking about addicts? I’m simply saying loot boxes and the like are a form of gambling.

It is a form of gambling, just not the type of gambling people are use to.

but it isn’t the general gaming community that is sending those threats, it’s a small subset of trolls that wanna be edgy.

Yeah, nostalgia is a powerful drug for me, I regularly boot up old games and play them for a half hour or so, for old times sake. So far I’ve only bought KOTOR but plan on getting Ninja Gaiden and some others in the future. Not sure if I’ll necessarily play them through to completion but it’s nice having them to boot…

Adorable!!!

LOL, that’s good, a skinsuit EA wears. Bio is dead and gone :(

The thing people keep forgetting is they’ve already acknowledged that it isn’t for everyone. They’ve already said that they only expect the hardcore to buy this thing, the hardcore = a small market. It’s like Nvidia or AMD boasting about how they just came out with the “most powerful video card ever” only the hardcore…

“It’s so much more worthwhile to get a gaming PC rather than an X1X.”

Well it loads old games faster than the Playstation 4 loads them, which is to say it doesn’t load them at all because Sony doesn’t believe in backwards compatibility HEYY OOOOOO

Yeah I’m kind of in the same boat, I like Horizon and a few other games but so much of the stuff on PS4 is Japanese, which rarely appeals to me. Persona 5 looks kind of fun, but other than that I’m not into really any of the other Japanese games that come to the system. I’m hoping to pick up my X by the end of this…

This is basically Blizz telling us there’s never going to be a Warcraft 4 in the same way Bioware told us we are never getting KOTOR 3, because guys SWTOR is KOTOR 3,4,5,6,7, big middle finger to Blizz and Bioware.

Are we in a Cold War era for consoles? Where instead of the USA and Russia trying to prove to each other who has the bigger dick it’s Microsoft and Sony?

Yeah I don’t really count that though, those aren’t designed the same as normal multiplayer maps. It’s more like an area with 3 lanes that the objectives flow down. With War mode the fighting is concentrated in 1 small area at any given moment so you don’t really have the options to flank or camp as you would a normal…

Small maps, terrible for sniping. The only map that is ok for sniping is Gustav Cannon, it’s a fairly open map with a train in the middle with a big ass cannon mounted on top of it. You can go way up to the top of the cannon and snipe but that’s only if your team can hold the top, it’s a popular area to fight over.…

Nope, every single previous CoD game had at least 11, I checked. So they’re skimping us with 9. I assume maybe it was because they added the war mode to the game, that has 3 of its own maps but I hardly consider those maps.

Package or not, you’re still paying that full price, just over the course of a few years. The price SEEMS lower, but it really isn’t, which is exactly how they get you.
