And MS will get 70%. 🤣

LMAO. MS spent billions to buy them. Gonna spend 100s of million in dev costs yearly and are going to give Sony 30% of every dollar they make for not only doing nothing, but trying to sabotage their deal and you think this is a win 

How about you spend a fortuen on building a business, then work 100 hours a week and then give me 30% of your income while I sit at home and do nothing and you brag about the 70% you make . Deal?

Interesting way to view things considering it's still more the other way around.... Sony gonna get 30% of every COD sale still with zero investment.

Any reviews even out for this lol

Being treated like it doesn't even exist. Very strange from current Capcom. 

Feel like this would be a really cool Steamdeck game.

It gets so easy as you progress. The QoL is a massive improvement. 

Good to hear because that is easily my biggest issue with it early on.

First 2hrs is like intro for Zelda. Just wait until the world opens up.  

Yeah assumed so which is why I powered through cause I'll be honest, that opening area was painful af. I honestly find traversing the world such a massive chore in these Zelda games. 

I'm now at the actual open world though. 

Been playing a couple of things:

Rogue Legacy 2 - Everything I loved about the first and so much more. Easily my fav Roguelike franchise after Hades.

Redout 2 - This was a surprise, by far the best Wipeout clone I've played and in many ways even better than Wipeout. What it lacks in presentation it makes up in gameplay mechanics.

Finally got and started Zelda TOTK. Played about 2h. I reserve thoughts till later.

So glad this shit is over, was always a matter of time. Shame it couldn't happen early enough for Diablo IV to be on GP lol 

Legend 

Loved the first one, was one of my fav coop games at the time. Curious how the switch to 3rd person shooter will go.

It's super gay this season. 

Only getting hints of gayness so far. 

3 eps into Witcher S3. It's been decent enough. Nothing very special but also not bad.

I have never played a card game. What did you like about it? 

Ever played Slay the Spire? Same sort of deckbuliding core gameplay.

The amazing thing about this game though is the core gameplay loop but mixed in with such a unique and crazy presentation/story. Nearly saying anything would be big spoilers and tbh even saying that takes away a bit of a surprise. 

I'd call it a story driven card/puzzle game. It's on PS Extra if you have that, worth checking out.

For comparison, PS5 sales were at 38.3m as of April 2023. So should be well over 40m by now

I don't care for either actor. Kind of fucked up to say but glad Majors is having legal issues with that woman that could get him kicked out of Marvel movies, he acts the same in everything he's in. Same with MBJ

 

Creed 3 did suck, despite my least favorite actors being in it I still watched it one night expecting it to be worst, but what makes the plot so unbelievable? That the guy gets out of prison and becomes the next big challenger of a world famous fighter?

fuuuuu i thought the thread said Team Asobo and immediately thought this was about Plague Tale 3 

Asobi >>>>>>>>> Asobo 

Can't wait for whatever their working on. Literally the only studio outside of Nintendo that seem to have that little bit of Nintendo magic in their platformers. 

Tell me someone has played Inscryption? 

Randomly started it cause I love Slay the Spire and wanted a chill card game and have been absolutely blown away. I really don't want to say much but if you even remotely enjoy card games you gotta try it....and try play a little deeper into it too.

The first season of From is free on prime for the next 3 days for anyone interested. 

Not in Aus

It's on a different streaming service which literally has nothing else that would interest me outiside of From. Frustrating.

Was it actually a hit though? This game came and went, and I don't recall many people playing it.

It was arguably one of the GP's first major third party Day 1 releases on GP. 

Half own a Swtich

Less than 20% own a Xbox Series X/S

The number of failed GAAS has really puled up in the last few years. Sony will probably suffer the same fate.

This wasnt really a GAAS though. That was it's selling point. It was a looter shooter with a story/campaign and an actual end point. 

Thought this was interesting cause we rarely get a proper insight into how larger games that launch on GP perform financially.

But Outriders was considered a big GP hit and was constantly spoken about how GP can help a games sales on other platforms.

However the developers themselves state that the game as of March 31st 2023 has still not returned a profit:

"Furthermore, in accordance with the development and publishing agreement signed on February 16th 2016 between the parent and Square Enix Limited to develop Outriders, since the game was completed and released on April 1st 2021 the Group is entitled to receive consideration in the form of royalties. Their amount is directly linked to and represents a percentage of the profit earned on the sale of the game.

"The Group received no royalties from the publisher for the period to March 31st 2023, which means that as at the reporting date net proceeds from the sale of Outriders were insufficient to recover the costs and expenses incurred by the publisher to develop, distribute and promote the title."

That means that the GP deal didn't even get close to covering costs as GP deal + sales on PS and PC have still not turned a profit in the game.

Saw Creed 3 last night. Lol I am a fan of Micheal B Jordan but I can see what Sylvester Stallone didn't even want to see this. It's not that it's so bad, it's just so not as good as the previous ones and tbh 2 wasn't that great. 

 

Majors is great in this movie. He could have carried the movie too if Jordan didn't try like five times in this movie to win an Oscar or something. The plot is the least believable of every movie in the Rocky franchise. 

I actually just watched it last week also and thought it was incredibly average to say the least. Easily the worst creed movie and like you said has such an unbelievable plot line that it nearly completely takes you out of the movie.
