  • It’s still less expensive than a PC hobby

    just with the sales and free online/cloudsaves PCs are cheaper in the long run

    And mods are an added value, we can even include fanmade patches that fix what developers don’t into that added value

    Consumers don’t have much say in what these companies do or how they operate.

    Yes, they do. Microsoft tried to incorporate Xbox live onto PC and it was a failure because PC consumers didn’t bought it

    The same goes with paid mods, Valve and Bethesda tried to make people buy mods and it was rejected by the consumer so the have to backtrack.

    Consumers have all the power in their wallet they decide what course the companies take. If a company does something that goes against your interests as consumer is as easy as stop giving them money, if you hurt them economically, they’ll have to go back to the business model that gave them profits (this works only if the average consumer is intelligent enough to protect their own interest/rights)
















  • Bayonetta has basic combat?

    When I bough Bayonetta 1+2 for the Wii U I was expecting something close to Devil May Cry (They share the same director and almost the same developing team, after all) but it was a huge disappointment everything is so dumbed down and simple that is not even fun. People only likes it because they are satisfied with the over-the-top action and Bayonetta one-liners and that’s all.

    My main complains with Bayonetta are the following:

    All the weapons feel the same, where the only change is the attack speed, their cosmetic appearance and in some cases some minor and useless changes, like if you hold the attack buttons and the weapons you have equiped are fireweapons, they shoot (with this I mean combos, like PPPK, KKKPK, etc… do the same with every weapon, except maybe the Kulshedra, the extremely basic whip, the weapons do not feel unique in any meaningful way, they all have the same moveset and combos. In Devil May Cry each weapon is unique, with their own moveset and combos, and their moveset changes depending on the style you have active, for extra depth)

    Finding the secret stuff is too easy (except for some verses and Alfheim, that require some backtrack at specific points, but finding the vinyls to get new weapons is too easy)

    Speaking of the Alfheims, they are not even chanllenging (compared to the Secret Missions in Devil May Cry)

    Bayonetta 2 is even worse, everything is way more simplistic and easy than the first one, I haven’t bothered with Bayonetta 3

    This is what playing Bayonetta feels like
