Almost thought he lost it from that point... Seems like I might not be off base (which I really wanted to be wrong). :/ Fri, 13 Mar 2015 22:13:51 +0000 http://playeressence.com/keiji-inafunes-game-kaio-the-king-of-pirates-is-cancelled-costs-marvelous-3-8-million/#IDComment957040101 http://playeressence.com/segagame-freak-developed-tembo-the-badass-elephant-announced-for-ps4-xb1-and-pc/#IDComment956562042 Just about everybody here summed my thought about this predicament at this point...

I would say, you reap what you sow... Hopefully, this will make publishers back the bloody off vacuuming money out of us with the worst of the worst DLC. But that's going to happen only for time, like G.Eyad said, gamers are still going "shut up and take my credits!" on bad DLC. Expect publishers going at it again but make it much more subtle. You can dress up a turd with whip cream, but it's still droppings! -_- Tue, 10 Mar 2015 05:48:54 +0000 http://playeressence.com/evolves-bs-dlc-practices-catch-up-to-them-as-the-steam-player-base-nose-dives/#IDComment956199353 http://playeressence.com/hyrule-warriors-gave-freshness-bumped-sales-to-the-declining-warriors-franchise-says-koei-tecmo/#IDComment956197965 I have to say, they sure outdone themselves.

Learn from Sega's mistake, look what happened to their Sonic game, it went BOOM all right, just not the good kind. Or even learn from yours, Halo Master Chief Collection??? Didn't need to fix it post launched if you let them properly finish the bloody game, Your own franchise, for chief's sake! Or maybe take a page from Miyamoto-san himself...

This is why I'm disappointed with the "gaming journalism"... Even if this came out as a bloody joke, you are still perpetuating this bloody misinformation that we as knowledgeable consumers has to put up with extremists almost on a daily basis (let alone correcting them)... Not to mention you blatantly invalidate every other IP's that Nintendo, themselves made, some turn out to be franchises that stoneman194 even mentioned FIVE of them! You make yourselves look worse when you're actually covering this as JOURNALIST, which means you should know the company's history better than us, viewers, that your feeding us info to... And yet we have to keep fact-checking you. We can keep on going; Wii series, Steel-diver.., all those (and probably more that I don't know) made since after the Gamecube days... Hey, here's me saying that not every franchise that Nintendo makes peaks my interest, but that doesn't mean I outright deny their existence (yes, even the unsuccessful ones)! Bloody hell, these bastards don't know they're making the situation worse... smbh -_-' Sat, 7 Mar 2015 04:53:12 +0000 http://playeressence.com/splatoon-why-mobility-matters-ign/#IDComment955502279 http://playeressence.com/the-predictors-podcast-49-nintendo-is-still-kickin-feat-tony-rende-jodecideion/#IDComment955374686 The Sh00ter is still missing in action.

The totality of console sales became a moot point when we started getting words (more like gotten the feeling) about the countless moneyhatting on Microsoft side only to see Sony falling in the same bandwagon right after in conjunction with the fading relevance going next to nothing of first-party titles coming from the two and heavily reliance of 3rd-party publishers. 3 detriments combined sinkholes! Earning winnings, but at the same time giving it out to others instead of sustaining yourselves!!! Yamauchi-san and Iwata-san were (still are) right, this was and still is a bigger concern that's cutting profits than sales in the long run! Not to mention "diminishing returns" is in bloody full affect this generation (moreso on Sony from last-gen) and Microsoft's going "full retard" with a DRM-product. With the exclusion of the Kinect as a cherry on top! Sony's on top with sales of the PS4, yes, but why is that not offsetting or even stopping what's been going since last-gen (if I remember correctly) with the conglomerate slicing off their fat and it's seems it's a never ending cycle... Sure, I'll give you that the PS division of is it's own, but like Francis said; even though PS4 is now profitable, how much is that offsetting the debt of Sony as a whole??? Like a said before, I'm wondering if Sony's profit projection line (company lifespan in other words) is even longer than their debt that they can keep up! Subscription fee is really the way to go, but I see that as a desperation move (again, moreso on Sony's part due to how abrupt the change was and the way they're going about it) when it's not just the old model of operation "stopped working" for them as to oppose to "not working for them in foreseeable future" The biggest elephant in the room is both CEO (I think) of the division said; Playstation, "PS4 "needs" to succeed!" and XBox, "If their's no profit here, we're spinning it off!" What Francis said and we all read those quotes! With all the doom and gloom articles about Nintendo, I've never seen a quote of them in this EXTREME of a "context"... Say what you will about Nintendo. They screwed up, but it's not "thee biggest screw up" when compared to the other 2 company. And looking how things are going, they are just biding their time fixing little/changing stuffs, wile getting larger profit margins with little market cap. on console and a bloody bunch on the side with the handhelds. I skipped the 20.2 million PS4 sold article, to commend Sony even though they needed it, even though said so. But then I would be called a fanboy, a Nintendrone. lol Wed, 4 Mar 2015 20:09:21 +0000 http://playeressence.com/the-irrelevant-console-war-8th-generation/#IDComment954915835 http://playeressence.com/sonic-games-will-still-be-made-for-home-consoles/#IDComment954178131 Exactly, laddie!
