No surprise on how much in trouble Scalebound was in. The E3 demo playthrough actually put me off on the title.

Scalebound and RE7 were the only titles I was wanting day one.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
I bought a pack of like five or six Unreal games during the Winter Sale for five bucks or something
Oh fuck. I hate that this bundle isnt avaiable here -,-
I dont even understand why these games are not avaiable in germany, they are not banned AFAIk
dave is ok
aztek is ok
It was called 'Unreal Deal Pack' and for $4.79 it was:
Unreal II: The Awakening
Unreal Tournament 3: Black Edition
Unreal Tournament 2004
Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year Edition
Unreal Gold

Wait did Acti's licensed game division with P* include the Devastation team? Cuz I need a Devastation successor so badly @o@
He means Acti is no longer pursuing licensed games, not that the development teams associated with Acti's licensed games have been laid off. Acti doesn't own even a sliver of Platinum.
As i understand, Nirolak means Activion decided to not do licensed videogames anymore and killed off that branch of their company (of activision), so no transformers devastation 2.

Who could predict Platinum needed people to buy their games to maintain the status quo?
Their last couple of games looked pretty shitty
I'm still holding out hope that Recore comes to Steam but it's not likely. I'll buy it later on if not.

Hopefully Nier Automata sells a ton of copies......

Best thing that could happen is it selling well enough that SE decides to give P* more work in the form of other IP's, like Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy spinoffs, which in return would at least partially keep P* alive for the time being

I'm assuming if Crackdown isn't up shit creek as well, that this year MS must be ready to throw everything behind it. Seems they'll really only have that and Forza as system sellers. Scorpio probably gonna do no better than the PS4pro. A lot of old games will get patches, that no one plays anymore. Then some promises of upcoming titles. Making the purchase day one more or less worthless.

You know what would help that? If a release date was announced for the PC. If I was Platinum, I'd fucking call Squeenix everyday cuz after this Scalebound mess, I want to see some money roll in.

For a brief moment I honestly thought JaseC quoted himself.
Crackdown can't get cancelled. Been waiting for that for awhile.
Also, I'll buy Scorpio day1 if 360 emulation increases internal resolution on it.

I had the same opinion, normally I'd diehard platinum's non-budget endeavors, especially Kamiya's shit, but openworld tedium is at an all time high for me, and what small couple of footages i've seen didn't relieve me. I'm hoping Automata catches that polished platinum feel so bad because it's been a while since I've felt Platinum at it's prime.

Crackdown better not get canceled. It's literally the only reason I keep my Xbone at this point. I just hope it won't be as bad as 2 was.
Yup, this is one of my favorite sequences in any game.
I liked Bioshock 2 - I actually enjoyed the ambush portions, although I guess in time they did get a little tiresome.
Is it cynical to think that Valve has not offered a more robust card trading tool because they don't make any money if you trade a card?

just heard the SB rumor.
I had my reservations, but the homie Kamiya always came through. Shame.
I had my reservations, but the homie Kamiya always came through. Shame.
It's definitely got that feeling of "Bioshock 1 DLC turned full retail product". The combat is fast, fluid, weapons are interesting and there's a sense of weight to your attacks and movement (of course, considering who you're playing as), but the difficulty wasn't scaled well enough. Bio 1 gave you some time before items and money became mostly irrelevant. Bio 2 makes you a shambling god right out the bat. Although, this does give you free reign to mess around with your weapons to little penalty. Hey, let's just phosphorous buck the hell out of everything while protecting lil sis.
As for the story... I like it for what it is. Like many others, I don't think a return to Rapture was necessary since the first game tied things up... but I've seen worse.

sucks that Platinum Games aren't tight with Sony.
This.
The unreal deal pack was $4.79 (88% off) http://store.steampowered.com/sub/683/
Great deal. Each individual game was like 4 bucks each on sale so it would have been pointless to buy anything other than the deal pack. http://steamsales.rhekua.com/search.php?term=unreal
The pack with UT3 and 4 other games cost the same as UT3 itself. Steam gonna steam.

There it goes. Offically cancelled. Fuck.

Scalebound dead. One less game to buy from the windows store.
One less than zero
This could be tuning point for a worse for MS. They have no studios, no heavy hitter games and they are releasing more expensive console than competition at the end of a year. They have broken PC store and refuse to publish games on other stores and getting exclusivity from 3rd party publishers is really hard these days.

You are technically right (in my case).
Forza Horizon 3 ($20 Target error for digital code)
Gears 4 (free with my GPU)
That's all I own.
Good things can come from MS cancellations. MS cancelled their contracted Obsidian exclusive title, Stormlands, a "AAA RPG" for Xbox One. That cancellation almost sunk Obsidian, but then came the push for Pillars of Eternity which got them back afloat - and following that the work from Stormlands evolved into Tyranny.
