  1. Im kinda hoping the ABK deal doesn’t go through now and how the industry backlash will impact $ony. $ony are really make a long list of enemies with the way they are going about this. Plus it will be so funny to see exclusive rights for CoD hitting paystation deep in the ass.

  2. Honestly I have thought that some of these AAA games should be sold for more than 59.99. the amount of content you get and the effort put into to them especially when they are masterpieces, I understand the cost.

  3. Games were going to increase to $70 eventually anyway. It’s like people also forget inflation exists lol. Also the DS Lite and 3DS were better than the Switch imo. The Switch is great but I’d say it ranks 3rd. First the DS family of systems and then the Wii family of systems. And oh yeah #FlyEaglesFly

  4. Destin covered this yesterday but the ABK objectives ate not what people think they are one of the remedies is basically hand control over to an independent body of Activision… so the CMA seem to be more fir this deal than people are reporting.

  5. I was going to purchase TOTK on the release date and now I'm backing off. At least I'm going to wait until the reception of the game. I just don't want to pay next gen price for a game that runs at 720p sub 30 fps built on top of the map of his predecessor with the same graphics of his predecessor.
    It feels like Nintendo is calling us stupid piggybanks

  6. You say that MS can buy ABK without CMA permission so if MS ignored the CMA, what would that mean? Would COD and other MS properties cease to be sold in the UK? Alll those WOW players would lose accounts they spent decades building up? Seems insane and if true it gives MS a lot of leverage to call their bluff.

  7. Considering graphics is literally the least important part of a game, the price doesn’t bother me. Whether people admit it or not, Nintendo creates masterpieces.

    Paying for a high quality experience and content is fine with me. Much better than paying $70 for a shiny turd.

  8. i like Sony games but will never buy any of their products cause they are greedy and deliver broken things,even tho am not an JRPG fan am happy for P5 and with Nintendo its weird cause even their big IP Zelda looks like a PS3 game but at 70$ like come on and Zelda looks awesome but i hope this one fails and bites Nintendo like Sony did with the Sackboy port and Uncharted

  9. WOW, JUST WOW. WEAK , OLD AND UNDER PAR SYSTEM , GAME THAT IS SHELL SHADED AND OBVIOUSLY DID NOT TAKE A LOT OF EFFORT TO MAKE IS $ 70 .THIS WITHOUT A DOUBT IS THE MOST ANTI- CONSUMER THING THAT HAS BEEN DONE CONCERNING THE BIG THREE.
