Pretty muchhhh. Microtransactions can be shit but what’s even worse is being a shittier person.

 

Mirrors Edge being open world was horrible.

 

It was adequate, not a bad game by any means, so if it would have been better the sales would not have been significantly higher. I can't guarantee that but it's a pretty safe assumption. Sales rarely reflect quality, especially in the last few years, especially with regards to single player games.

 

Pretty much this. It sucks they're trying to wring their customers dry but dude, it's still a video game. Your life is not affected by not playing it. No one deserves to have their life threatened over it. haha.

 

Especially in a year as stacked as this one. There's so much other good stuff to focus on.

 

As Cam said it wasn’t really advertised as much as it should have been. Also many people might have seen the reviews and saw it was getting 6/7s for the most part and thought it’s best to wait for a sale.

I’m not saying everyone does this but nowadays people are more and more wary on what they’re spending their money on.

 

Whelp, might be time to eat my words--I posted this tweet in here and it's the basis of my belief that BF2 devs got death threats.

I'm pretty sure you just have to check the mentions of Dice or like Reddit and you'll find death threats. It's 2017 after all.

 

@Dirty Sanchez I'm trying to find that v helpful post you made re: game sharing, can't find it

 

Search ign game share ps4

 

I didn't hate Mirror's Edge Catalyst, it was just disappointing and forgettable. It was...a meh game.

 

already did, am still confused. do we both do the same steps on each other's consoles to access both sets of games?

 

Like the first one ;D

Catalyst stripped away what made the first one so much fun, the open world was a terrible decision. Quality of a game definitely results in sales

 

Pretty sure the game sharing only works one way. Like, you can’t both have each other’s games, all of the games have to be bought on one account. Then, the person who does not own that account has to make their PS4 that account’s primary PS4. This will make it so the account owner can still play all their games on their own PS4 because they will be logged in as them self, and then the other person will also be able to play all of that account’s games because their PS4 is set as the primary PS4.

Edit: actually, thinking about this a little more, I’m not sure why it wouldn’t work both ways. If you both set each other’s PS4 as your primary PS4, I don’t see why it wouldn’t give you access to both sets of games.

 

It works both ways.

 

Damn, I gotta give my other person access to my games! I’ve been doing it one way this whole time.

 

If it's really bad it won't sell but being good is absolutely no guarantee of sales, see all Bethesda games that aren't Fallout or ES. Plenty of mediocre games do well though.

 

this reddit versus ea has created good memes so I am good

 

Finished FFXV and thought it was good but morning great. The ending (like the last 5 chapters or so) I thought felt really rushed, but I liked the characters and story overall.

Are the DLC chapters worth it?

 

The thing is, people don't seem to generally mind microtransactions when it's for cosmetic items. Like, Overwatch has done it in a really good way I think. Purely cosmetic, absolutely nothing that affects gameplay.

EA could have still made a shit ton of money doing it that way. Like different outfits for all the heroes in the game, maybe like how Rocket League unlocks different cars for a one off purchase.

 

Yes that is definitely the way to go. I assume there is potentially more money to be made by going further than that but if I would be an E.A. executive I would not risk it frankly. All of this could be a case study back at business school.

 

I’m so over the Reddit backlash already. Just don’t buy the fucking game and ignore it, that’s literally all you have to do. But no, this is Reddit and they have to circlejerk something to absolute death. It’s like who cares if this spills all over the site, you are angry and clearly this all you have going for you so everyone must know! Just. Don’t. Buy. The. Game. The end.
