Oh with Microtransactions, seasonal battle passes, 'roadmaps', and such there's no more incentive to release a completed functional game. The bubble will burst and f2p+seasonal passes will likely become common.

Holy shit Apple just catapulted *every* Epic game from its store. Epic no longer has an account with them, either.

Square-Enix has been releasing new articles on their website all week long about Avengers, and they've honestly gone a long way to soothing some of the worries I've had with this game. It SOUNDS like there is a lot of content beyond the campaign. That's where a lot of these types of games stumble out of gate.
Also, the battle pass style challenge cards that each character has, is not time gated. You can take all the time you want to complete them. The limited time factor is what makes most battle passes such a predatory tactic. So that's a big tic mark in it's favor, with me. Still feeling cautious about it, but I'm definitely also feeling more optimistic. I've been a Marvel fan since I was 5 years old, so I was always going to get it. Just a matter of whether it was at launch or on sale for $20. The big War Table presentation tomorrow could seal the deal one way or the other. |

I'm already ready to Assemble. My buddy got the reg edition otherwise I would have played today, but I'm good til the official launch. I really hope they go past Avengers and make this a general platform for the Marvel universe. X-Men, F4, solo heroes, etc.

Thought that was kind of weird at first, having two archers as the first dlc characters, but it seems like it’s for story purposes. It’s a two part story likely having the player use Kate to free Hawkeye from AIM’s control, and then playing Hawkeye in Part 2.
Looked like Hawkeye had a Katana, so he’ll likely lean into his Ronin skills, while Kate will use her teleportation. Hopefully their archery abilities are varied and not just cut and paste. Also Black Panther is all but confirmed. They declined to make an official announcement out of respect for Boseman’s passing. Seems like Wakanda will be connected to or maybe even the setting for a raid. |

The marketplace prices are pretty absurd. Not the worst I’ve seen but still. They need to work on that. People were saying you can save the credits you get from the challenge cards to purchase future cards, but I honestly think it’s a better value to pay $10 for the card and save the credits earned to cherry pick stuff from the market.
It’s already been revealed that there’s buckets of skins, emotes, nameplates, etc. available to get just through playing so this isn’t a deal breaker. Just disappointing. If this game has the continuous, meaningful content it says it will, I would of liked to support them with a skin purchase now and then, but not at those prices. Hopefully it’s something they’re willing to take feedback on, but I doubt it. The whales justify this kind of thing every time. |

There were actually a lot of people let down by the beta, and now that they've gotten the full game in hand, they're turning their opinions around and giving it shining reviews. The beta poorly represented the game just like everything else in it's marketing. |

15 is actually less than I thought, being that I'm dressing up the most iconic characters in media today rather than spending $20 to dress up some asshole in a shooter.

CD Projekt Red currently denying recent rumors of their upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 game will require at least 200GB of free space on a harddrive in order to be playable.
The company stated the actual size of the game will be comparable to other recent modern games. Basis for the rumor revolves around a recent tech video that showed off the game's graphical and technical abilities using the new Nvidia 30XX graphics cards. That led to some people thinking to achieve those very high fidelity results, the game's file size must be very bloated as a result. https://twitter.com/Marcin360/status...91805627383808 https://www.destructoid.com/stories/...e-602399.phtml |

Xbox Series S model is currently expected to cost $299 based on a recent video leak.
Also the console itself is smaller and a lot thinner compared to the more powerful Series X model.

Oof that's an ugly box though. The Series X looks like a minifridge, the PS5 looks like a giant router....but they both look far better than the 1980's intercom speaker that is apparently the Series S.

Hope they at least have an option for that (and the PS5) in black though. Not a huge fan of white consoles because they don't match any of my stuff and will stick out like a sore thumb.

Couple torx security screws with a white finish = lots of custom cases if you wanna go that route. Love taking apart white controllers and doing work on them, can be fun. Bonus if it goes retro into an old school intercom, complete with a dome attachment over the speaker. |

The rebooted Prince of Persia was sitting on a cliffhanger. And we're all sitting here through the years waiting for a follow up.
So, instead let's just throw some money away and remake Sands of Time. Smart. No, not really. |

Microsoft is currently rumored to be working on three versions of their upcoming Xbox Series console with this third model to be in between the Series S and Series X in terms of overall power.
This third Xbox Series consoles would also be digital only in terms of games support. Quote:
