Uhhh....yes. The always-online requirement was one of the major controversies surrounding the Diablo III launch.

Yes it was controversial at the time but its not anymore. Plenty of games have followed this formula since because it is the only way for developers to control certain content (the loot system). Path of Exile released the following year with a similar system. The main reason is to prevent cheating and keep the important assets protected on the server instead on the client side. I have no idea why the developers wanted to do this for Godfall on the PlayStation but at a guess they want to stay consistent since they are also releasing this on PC.

Not all looter type games use this system obviously. Games like Borderland 3, Remnant, Torchlight 2 can be played offline. But it's not as if a precedence is being set with Godfall. It's a 3rd person melee co-op game with a protected loot system like Diablo 3/POE. What's wrong with this? Absolutely nothing.

Being a console exclusive has no bearing on the fact that the game is following a tried and true formula for looter type games. It's not new. The first Destiny had timed exclusives levels/items for the PS4. The game hasn't done anything that others games haven't done on PlayStation.

Throwing out memes in your posts again and again won't hide the fact that you've embarrassed yourself in these last few posts with your trolling gibberish. It's a looter type game like Diablo 3, like POE, like Destin 2, like Anthem, like The Divsion 2. All games that cannot be played offline...

So the answer is none of the above? Yes, I'm aware.

It's a tad frustrating engaging this level of interminable bias. This crowd was the same one that sought to damn Microsoft at the mere prospect of making Zenimax IPs exclusive, when they wouldn't even be exclusive, they'd be on PC, which means they'd also end up on mobile platforms, but then defended Sony for its hard exclusive wall composed of content from studios bought exactly the same way. You guys leap to the defense of anything Playstation without a moment's thought. You're all literally defending Blizzard, now, for a feature that was nearly universally harangued when that game came out.

But Godfall is a Sony exclusive! So it can do no wrong! Meanwhile, as I've manipulated you into arguing yourself, even corporations as reviled as Blizzard has become for being unfriendly to gamers don't charge those on PC to play a game like this. Yet, as that article made clear, you must be subscribed to PS Plus in order to play the game.

No, instead you leap to the defense of Blizzard (Diablo III), Ubisoft (The Division), and EA (Anthem): three of the greediest, most infamously scorned publishers in existence for anti-consumer practices today. You also try to lump in PoE which is a F2P title!

Can you guys take a step back, attempt to summon an iota of critical distance, and think, just maybe, "Hey....this is a bit fucked. Sony is trudging down the same path Microsoft was trying to take us at the launch of the Xbox One."

Food for thought.

Will you shut the hell up? Seriously.

Having a console that’s required to always be online is not even the same fucking ballpark as a multiplayer game that requires always online.

Your attempts to spread misinformation and false equivalencies is transparent as fuck by now. You’ve been embarrassed, thoroughly. Don’t try to shift the goal posts, take your L and go get your fucking pom-poms like I told you.
 
When gamers should be banding together and raising hell to at least force the corporations to clarify (or concede) couch co-op & single player modes will be free, not requiring the online subscription for the actual MMO looting gameplay, instead we get...

What a joke of a post.

No one said Godfall can do no wrong. It could release to shitty ass reviews and it would be the end of the game.

Unlike you I actually play looter type games by the boatload. Destiny 1, 2, The Division 1, and 2, Diablo 3, POE (briefly), Remnant, Borderlands 1, 2, (haven't played 3 yet but will soon). I am a fan of the genre. Unlike you I understand why there is a need for certain games to be played online due to content control on the server side. Some of these games have to be played online and others don't. That is a choice that is being made by the game developer on a case a by case basis.

You're the one making fun of something insignificant, got called out for it and now you're whipping up this long winded BS about you being this insidious manipulator and conned all of us into some made up nonsense about greedy publishers and blah blah blah.

You need to step and back and stop trolling about nothingburgers.

Stop embarrassing yourself again and again.

It’s the bell ends M.O, he knows he made a rip roaring cunt of comparing a single game required to be online and an actual console.

But his ego won’t let him admit it so he goes into deflection mode, trying to spin the narrative into an argument where he thinks he has the advantage.

Funniest bit is he seems to think nobody notices.

We all got to enjoy watching Mr. Mick flail about aimlessly. It was very amusing albeit time consuming for me... lol
 
Would love to see a Fallout 1+2 Remake now that they have Obsidian AND the IP

A new one would be nice as well just I think it would be smart of Xbox to sure up their library by remaking or remastering the older titles in their library
 
Madmick said:
LOL, it's "understandable" that a game adopts an MMO model with a single player mode because it's a "loot-based game".

wtf-lol.png



Uh, you could always just segregate single-player loot from the online economy, LOL. It's like fanboys don't even know what gaming terms mean. Not only that, but is this inexplicably mandatory online connection free? Why, of course not! It requires subscription to a paid service (PS Plus)!

Dude, what are you talking about ?
It’s a decision made by an independent game developer on the direction they want to take based on economic and gameplay strategic considerations.
I have Division 2, apparently a pretty popular game, and it does the same shit.
Other gamers have listed other games that do the same shit.
An independent journalist, in the very article you posted, has said that’s normal for these kind of games yet here you are, with I guess no game coding experience or experience project managing / directing games firstly crying about whyyyyyyy ?
I dunno, maybe I don’t know every gaming term and don’t care but I do have the sense to know what I don’t know and when most everyone’s agreeing on it, both ideologically and with their wallets and when it’s a genre of games I don’t play or care about......I’ll give them the benefit of doubt that they know wtf they’re talking about.

Secondly, how in fuck is this Sony's problem ? It’s an independent publisher that doing a semi exclusive deal with them. How when how and how much is their decision, not Sony's. Pre release hype is with this game so they use be doing something right and even if it’s not, who cares. Their are an independent company.

Seriously man, your Xbox fanboi-ism is amazing. Microsoft better be paying you some coin. I mean nobody can be this dedicated for free.
They’re enthusiasts on both sides but most of us don’t source countless articles (some misunderstood), post dedicated long posts with multiple headings etc etc all dedicatedly and, mostly mistakenly, extolling one company.

I hate to be like this but I gotta pull a page off those Trump supporters and finish with.....

Xbox lost.
Get over it.

I remember the outrage in 2013 because of Xbox One always online.

Now it's "understandable". How things change.

You can’t tell the difference between a console requiring you to be always online Vs a standalone game needing that ?

No he’s very good with hardware / questions about most anything computer related and very detailed and helpful with his answers.

His massive raging hard on for Xbox is just mind boggling though. If Xbox ever got discontinued, we might have to put him on suicide watch.


See, stuff like this...

Replace Xbox with PS, and that would be a rather fitting description of you.. <45>

Like I said in that very same post, nobody.......nobody puts that much single minded effort into extolling and criticizing a company and it’s (winning by far) competitor.
Nobody.

Most of us just post some memes, call each other :eek::eek::eek:s and move on.
Only one writes a daily thesis on why this time, it’s finally Microsoft’s time.

Sony doesn’t require you to pay for Godfall. You pay to play most any game you have online, some games that require you to be online and a couple of free games every month.
And literally nobody buys these consoles to play just one game.

This is objectively true, and has been for over a decade. They are the leader both in terms of hardware and software. They own the largest internet server network in the world behind the-- brace for it-- internet (i.e. the sum domain of all publicly owned government networks).

In the early days of the cloud the term "Azure" was nearly synonymous with the term they were so aggressively far out in front.
