Thing about Ark is over the years hundreds of thousands of players have spent 10s of thousands of hours building up their profiles and spending loads of cash on the dlc's. With the upscale of the graphics game will be improved. But switching off support on the older gen version means loads of people will be losing the games they spent years of their lives on. Biggest reason people are mad is the game is mostly broken to start off with, we still love it. But this is basically the final f u from Wildcard to the community that's been supported them for years. Hell, I bought a second ps4 and tv set for my 60 year old mother who is currently in year 5 or 6 enjoying her retirement now pissed as it'd the only thing she gets to sit and do.

4: 20 for the first time - im actually not bothered in the slightest by microtransactions being added to a game. it didnt feel at all like they would be beneficial before, and unlike other similar circumstances, the update hasnt shifted the balance of the game that i feel like i need boosts NOW - the ganados still take the same amount of shots to go down, im not taking more damage from enemies. absolutely, its more satisfying to get the stuff yourself and im pretty sure everyone who knows that feeling agrees, but i feel like these tickets are just for streamers who want to make the gameplay more of an exhibition.

If it's ok to call out Ubisoft for having what they call time savers in their Assassin's Creed games, then for fairness sake it should be ok to call out Capcom for what they are doing with selling weapon upgrades. Just because the games they've put out recently are amazing from a gameplay kind of way, it doesn't mean that we should give things a free pass we critisize other companies for. Not to mention that the RE2 remake and DMC5 also have some weird kind of DLC that are similar to this.

All this stuff around Ark sounds like Studio Wildcard is running out of money for Ark 2 and needed a way to infuse cash. Forcing people to preorder the new game a year in advance by shutting down the servers on your active playerbase is not the way to do that. There are people who have 7 years into their servers, with intense base builds, and the developer is tearing it all away. This has the potential to shutter the studio if the current community doesn't buy into it

The big thing that made me excited was hearing about the Final Fantasy Pixel Perfect collection finally coming to home consoles. Not Xbox Series X (, but I still have a Nintendo Switch so I can play on a TV that way.
I think the release is going to be overshadowed by Dead Island 2, releasing 2 days later on 4/21. I pre-ordered that monster on the Series X.
I love seeing your videos every Friday. It is the highlight of my week. Keep releasing them.

/sigh Sony. A new handheld? Okay. Integrating remote play into literally every device means this new device is. pointless imo. And what price? 300? 400? I already remote play on my phone and laptop so why would I want another investment that might get used monthly? Not a smart move imo. I would have preferred they use the MILLIONS invested in the R&D and development and found a way to use that cash to lower the price of PSVR2.

The South Africa thing, people been buying digital anyways and not selling physical games only benefits the people who don't know better. I can't be the only person that walks into Game and wonders who buys those games at those retail prices when digital is cheaper. You can pay for internet and still have money left over for the game and a hard drive to install it if you're out of space for it's retail price. I'm looking at you Game.

I mean, if the new PS handheld is really just for remote play for PS5 games, what's the point of releasing a new handheld? You can remote play on your phone, steam deck, and other handheld PCs, even on your own desktop PC or laptop (I think, feel free to correct me on that one. Unless they plan on releasing games specifically for their handheld, I don't understand the reasoning of releasing this. Regardless, I hope it's successful!

What are the odds that they broke their lease on the original Ark servers expecting a smooth transition to new Ark2 servers. then it gets delayed, the servers lease is already broken and cant be fixed and so they desperately launch Ark1. 5 to avoid having a period where the game has literally 0 servers.
Seems like complete incompetency leading to people having to pay again for something they already own but now can't use.

If the reports are correct, I think it's going to flop. For a handheld to be successful, it can't be an afterthought accessory to a main console that you have to pay an extra 300 for, it has to be an integral part of the main console that comes bundled with it, or it needs to have an exclusive game library with a competitive price point, which is something the Vita had the former of, but not the latter.

I d be interested in the Sony handheld if it can also Play PS Plus streaming like a PC can. I would like to have different games going on the handheld as opposed to the console.
It would be a lot better if it could install a scaled down version of PS games ideal to run on the handheld. If they could get it to be like the steam deck but everything runs at a solid 40fps that would be awesome.

Can you really afford 7. 54 million pizzas? I work Pizza and am just wondering? Also if you were held to that per video that you have stated, it would be about 60. 32 million dollars before tax per video, at 8 each, that is what my store charges on the low end. Kind of curious if you can actually afford just to pay for one video? Obviously in good fun. Thanks for the content.

12: 20 Just want to toss out that Meet Your Maker was not the first of its kind and what im gonna mention probably isnt either but 'The Mighty Quest For Epic Loot' had the same base design as Meet Your Maker. Build maze/defense thingy while you run out to attack others. The execution was lacking and so was the support by creators but I loved the basic thought behind it.

sony had always done a great job on the actual ps handhelds but they've also done such a great job at ruining it despite it all. i just hope they don't make the same mistake as they did on previous handhelds especially in regards to storage. also, they better change their mind and put a damn oled on it. my vita has oled and i expect nothing less for their next handheld.
