Thread for Gamers VIII: Revenge of the Sh**

[Val Halla]

I sell a game at the local store for £12

Months later, exact same copy, in there for £8

Should I buy and break the system?

What's the game?

Might as well. I never played it, but it looks good from what I can see.

For those of us who can't access Reddit, what does the post say?

Referring to the controversy about microtransactions and the huge grindfest to unlock heroes without any real money in Battlefront 2...

The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different heroes.

As for cost, we selected initial values based upon data from the Open Beta and other adjustments made to milestone rewards before launch. Among other things, we're looking at average per-player credit earn rates on a daily basis, and we'll be making constant adjustments to ensure that players have challenges that are compelling, rewarding, and of course attainable via gameplay.

We appreciate the candid feedback, and the passion the community has put forth around the current topics here on Reddit, our forums and across numerous social media outlets.

Our team will continue to make changes and monitor community feedback and update everyone as soon and as often as we can.

It’s currently at -244025.

Well i mainly spend my time in urban environments in video games blowing them up or decorating walls in alien blood, so.. building cities nah, blowing up cities, fuck yeah!

That's everyone, mind. There's something fun about throwing an asteroid at a city you've built to glory.

I do occasionally make a solid fortress or citadel though, so hit me up if you want a fortified base, just dont expect any major civilian planning unless its for target practice or an elaborate trap.

Disappointed, but not surprised.

yeah it does, if you send someone a death threat over a video game, regardless of much of a dodgy practice something with that game might be, you are a cunt as far as i am concerned.

Completely out of line.

I cold use some advice.I have rcently started thinking about what I will do with my tax money at the start of next year. Should be around $700 or so. Last year, I purchased a Switch and at this moment it is my primary and only gaming console. Now, the options that lay before me are three fold.

Should I use the money for the Xbox One X, one of my best friends has been hounding me to get a One. From what I have gathered it looks like a bargain for $500 equipped with a 4k HD Blu Ray player combined with the ability to play in 4k, which I have never experienced. But real talk, 4k doesn't excite me that much. I am not convinced it is worth the investtment. There are a handful of games here I want to play, some multi plat and others first party such as Halo Wars 2, Gears of War 4 and MAss Effect Andromeda and Star Wars Battlefront 2.

But then there is the cheaper PS4 Pro. It looks to be a better dollar value then the X and has the best first party offerings outside of Nintendo. Horizon Zero Dawn and Detroit: Become Human look phenominal. And it is still a capable console for the package. I just know zero PS players personally. And this would be the first time I ever climbed on board the platform while it is relevant. I have owned PS2s and original playstations and even a PS3 but always after they were discontinued. Save a little more money and buy more games.

But one specific question I want to ask anyone who uses these platforms is tthis. How does PSN compare to XBox Live? I have heard horror stories about haccks and network crashes on the PS4 platform. Is it that bad? Because at $60 a year, I want to know my online experieence can be trusted and if the PSN is that unreliable than paying more money for the X with the trade off on Sony's first party games seems worth it to me.

Lastly I could always just take the money and go all in on the Switch. I love the console(favorite Niintendo console to date) and get everything I need to make the most out of it with money left over to get alll of my must have games for at least months. I already acquired a carrying case, 128gb sd card, screen protecter ect. Just need a Pro Controller and a portable battery charger. Then use the left over money for games. I sacrifice certain third party releases but I wont be spreading myself over multiple platforms.

If anyone has any feedback on certain aspects of my question I would appreciate it.

*mumbles something about a PC*

Go Xbox. The paying for the online bit is fucking stupid, but Xbox is better than the PS4.

Go all in on a switch I'd suggest.

[The Rebel Alliances]

I forgot about the backwards comp on the XBox One X, that is very appealing to me. I may just be choosing between the X and the Switch at this point.
