I've tried 3-4 times to get into this game, and I guess it's just not for me. That doesn't mean they shouldn't be really proud of what they've managed to turn the game into. It looked pretty....rough 7 years ago but with a bit of patience and a lot of goodwill and hard work they've turned it into a success story.
It kind of doesn't. Me and my brothers will play some Rocket League on a Monday night (assuming our kids are in bed) but aside from that my gaming is exclusively single-player.
Never been a big online gamer, but since having kids that's basically become a non-starter.
Only takes one though. As soon as someone looking at buying a console sees there's a chance they'll miss out, they'll potentially make the decision to go with the Sony machine instead.
Microsoft already has an exclusive issue, this isn't doing anything but compounding that issue.
It's half nine in the morning. My kids have already made a mess of the house and my partner is sitting on the other sofa with an unused nappy on her head.
Right but you're probably a little more clued up to this sort of stuff than the average consumer who's seen the marketing and thought 'oh lovely, I don't need a disk drive' in this thing.
Both my brothers own the S. It's an incredible little machine, but imo they screwed the proverbial pooch when they pushed this as a 1080p alternative to the more powerful Series X.
I think the problem they've given themselves is that they pushed it as a cheaper alternative to the X whilst also maintaining that it'll be able to play the same games.
How do they go about messaging that can't be the case going forward without pissing off those that spent the money on the S in the first place.
Sounds silly, and I know it doesn't really make any difference but I wonder if it'd be easier for me to listen to their music if it was the bass guitarist that did it...
I mean it doesn't stop being a good song because the lead singer is a total monster. I loved that song, but haven't been able to listen to it since the revelations came out, but that doesn't make it a bad song.
If 99% of their audience ignore them, they still make a bucket load of money because the 1% who can afford to spend the money, or have issues with self control more than make up for it.
Had a hard time with this one and I'm not sure I ever figured out why. Initially I thought it was just a bit uninteresting but now I'm wondering if there's more there. Not sure he writes his female protagonists all that well (which I can understand given you know, he's not female).
Massive fan of The Martian and Weirs follow up called 'Project Hail Mary'. It leans a little more in the direction of Science Fiction than the Martian did, but it's an absolute page turner from front to back.
What if Chuck E Cheese was in your bedroom and it was marketed to make you feel like you were missing out if you didn't have the thing your friend's had, but you can't buy the thing, oh no that's too easy. We'll let you buy the chance to own the thing.
Just finished work for the week. Taking the kids to a soft play tomorrow but with a bit of luck I'll be able to sit down and catch my breath too.
