It's not as bad as people contantly saying they spent $500 million on one game when that amount is actually the investment for the franchise including the sequels.I would say that is more spin than normal. That isn't sell through to customers. Only what they shipped to retailers. I hate it when companies do this. Completely 100% misleading, and it is done on purpose.
I don't remember the Borderlands story.I watched a friend play this and have to ask: Where's the story? It just seems like a bunch of nebulous plot points that have you kill shit over and over on various planets in the solar system. I hear comparisons to Borderlands but games like Borderlands and Halo have more substantial story elements.
You are guys are delusional believing hype. Here's some hype I'm delusional aboutAnyone that was expecting a mmo environment out of this is sadly delusional. Youll always have die hard fans like Column for any given games but when you remove the shiny coating, its still the same old shooter that brings nothing new to the table. It was easy to see months ago.
Then you have a game like thisNo Mans Sky. Its pretty obvious to spot a dev thats trying to break the mold and one like bungie who is playing way too safe.
Not in the slightest. However, if you do not have a decent computer and want to play Far Cry 4, play Last of us remastered (Now), possible Diablo 3 which is really popular on PS4 especially with the rerolled crowd, and some others in the new fall line up, along with The Evil Within, it may be a good time to ask for one for Christmas. This isn't a system seller. (Well, it may be because it looks like $150 million of the $500 million dollar budget went to marketing it as a reason to own a PS4 - but there are going to be a lot of pissed off people.)Is this worth buying a PS4 over? I haven't owned a console since a PS2 and I really am not tripping over myself to play a shooter with a controller again.
Well, the Pre-Sequel was offloaded to a 2K B-team in Austrailia or someshit. I'm sure anything they make off of it is going to be gravy, considering its popularily. Gearbox main is probably full-on developing Borderlands 3 for next gen as I write this.the shitstorm that would have happened if this game launched on pc would have been epic. not for any game reasons, just that a big chunk of people would be constantly crashing or DCing, by day 2 there would be tons and tons of speed hackers, teleporters, infinite ammo cheaters, etc. by day 3 bungie woulda shut down the servers due to duping and account hacking.
One fun thing for the explorers is to find all the dead ghosts and gold chests. You get random loot for clearing all the gold chests in a zone (pretty easy), not sure what you get for all the ghosts. The latter is much harder since they tend to be hidden away in weird spots. Reminds me of jumping puzzles in MMOs a bit. I think there are 4 ghosts inside the Tower, found 2 so far. As far as I can tell there is no way to see your progress or rewards or anything like that for all this extra stuff except by going to bungie.net or using the companion app on iOS/android. Like nothing in game to track this stuff, which is bizarre.
Anyways the game is a multiplayer game with a thin single player campaign built on top of it, a bit better than the Titanfall/BF4/COD SP campaigns but not as good as the Borderlands 2 campaign (which had no MP to be fair). Claptrap > Dinklagebot though. 2k Games is making a huge mistake releasing their pre-sequel on 360/ps3 only and not ps4/xbone.
definitely came out at the exact right time though, pretty much nothing else to play on consoles so I could see them making $1b easy by end of the year. They have definitely pumped a shit load of money into marketing it though, which is kinda sad in a way - pump enough money into marketing and any game will break $500m probably.
My bad Ut. I missed the part in the original article that mentioned sold to retailers and first parties. I agree that it is completely misleading. I'm a case in point.I would say that is more spin than normal. That isn't sell through to customers. Only what they shipped to retailers. I hate it when companies do this. Completely 100% misleading, and it is done on purpose.
