I've had a blast replaying my childhood crash favorites on the PS4 and happy to play these games with my son. Crash team racing has so many great tracks and characters. There's a bunch of modes I haven't even touched yet. Endless fun. Yes the microtransactions are a bit much but I don't care about getting every character, car, and stickers. The game still has plenty to offer.
Not a fan of violent video games and I won't let my kids play any games with an M rating on them. With that being said it's my parenting decision and parents need to step up and make the best decisions for their kids. A 10% tax isn't going to solve anything.
Ps4 just sold 20 mil last year and the console is just heading into its prime. I dont think people will rush to get the next gen console unless they are absolutely blown away. And most of us should learn by now, the launch consoles of the ps3 and ps4 were junk compared to their slimmer and updated versions. Maybe sony releases a legit launch ps5 console. We'll see! 2020 at the earliest!
I still think they got a lot more time with ps4. They just sold 20 mil last year and perhaps a slimmer version of the pro makes more sense as 4k tvs get more popular. They have ussually come out every 7 years. I expect the same. 2020 the earliest!!
I first bought NBA 2k on dreamcast and was an annual or biannual buyer of the game til about 2k13 for the dreamcast. The CAP (create a player) was one of the most fun aspects for me. You used to get unlimited features in the mode. No way am I paying extra for that stuff now.
EA sports have done this in there games too. Tiger woods 14 ruined it for me with the lack of courses readily made available compared to prior versions. Since then Ive only bought used sports games from gamestop.
Lots of pros and cons with the the internet for video games. Microtransactions are beyond frustrating and its only gotten worse! While its easy to just download a variety and get a library games, Id prefer just going to the retail store to purchase the game because you got everything included in the game.
Honestly I could care less about my player mode and the long stories. Just let me be able to create players, have all the jersey options, have season, playoff modes, and fantasy draft. Keep it simple and don't bog me down with virtual currency and Im good 2k!!! Then you can offer the microtransactions for my player/ my team/ online mode players.
