Video Game General 6.4: New Halo? What else?

GameStop revealed their Shenmue III preorder bonus a few days ago.

Disney don’t know how to let grass roots moments give them free PR.
They have to protect the mouse from IP infringement at all costs.

Looks like EA paying people to play Apex Legends has backfired. Once streamers dropped the game because they were no longer being paid, everyone else did as well.

Because they were ill prepared to actually support what a F2P BR game needs in this environment, and that’s a lot of updating content. Doesn’t matter how good the game is, if it’s exactly the same for months on end people will stop giving a shit.

So…Marvel hates money from the fighting game community?

Stuart_Hayden · May 23, 2019, 6:08pm

Even though they’re the same company it was Disney’s meddling more than marvel. Disney pretty much dictated everything about the game.

Yeah, Capcom’s PR went full wacky this year. They’ve been cooking undisturbed for a while now, so it better be great.

CDB2 · May 23, 2019, 6:20pm

Yeah, I’m getting a Switch!!
Mag’fukin’neto is back!!!

RudeAwakening · May 23, 2019, 6:24pm

I’ll get my kid a Switch this year, if no system from Nintendo is announced by XMAS shopping time. It’ll also give me reason to get Smash, and MUA, and a few other games.

Also…yes I look at FG stuff on youtube but have LITERALLY NEVER watched a god damned SFV video. STAHP recommending SFV related things or putting that garbage anywhere near my screen. For fucks sake. Jesus fucking christ. Motherfucker. Shit.

Sonichuman · May 23, 2019, 7:15pm

Well they did say they were doing season 4 differently…different is definitely one of the words to use.

Pertho · May 23, 2019, 7:17pm

I’ve made peace with the game and have been having fun with it. Just wish they’d communicate a little bit better though.

We’ll see what happens with Combo Breaker. Don’t know that I get a Ps5 for SF6 though. The game would have to be a whole new level of crack for me to continue.

Maybe it comes out on PC too though.

PVL_93_RU · May 23, 2019, 8:30pm

Is this really true though? I mean Apex still is among the Top-10 most watched games on Twitch on a pretty much daily basis

Big shocker - a company that earns 90% of its revenue through lootboxes/microtransations doesn’t like a bill that could essentially assassinate their business

Sonichuman · May 23, 2019, 9:11pm

Wouldn’t have had this problem if you hadn’t gone overboard with it EA. You played yaself.

Million-X · May 23, 2019, 9:15pm

Dead Cells…
First Interesting little change I noticed in terms of passives/etc…
Tainted Flask - "using a health potion grants +300 DPS for 12 sec. if the flask is empty it will automatically refill itself after you kill 14 Elite enemies… Easy."

eh, I’m still on a 2-boss cell “Very Hard” difficulty at the moment so that’s a bit of a tall order there Elites are basically Gods now.

Hey EA…

Sonicabid · May 23, 2019, 9:58pm

Me too. I never got the DLC though.

I got Mahvel 2, After Burner Climax and a couple of other titles before they got de-listed, but I never got the PS3/Vita release of Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition before Randy Pitchford and friends de-listed it. I have it on Steam but man, I’d have loved to see how the sprites would have looked on the Vita.

I never got the OutRun Online Arcade game either, or P.T. but I didn’t have a PS4 at the time.
