@retrometal: When Gamespot bought Giant Bomb in 2012 there was about a week of no new video content without explanation then they did a "chili day" video on the Monday.
It's an English (possibly Irish going by her pronunciation of "battle") actress trying to do an American accent. I'm actually kind of convinced it's the same voice actress as Ciri, which would be a bit creepy....
Gaming is already the single most expensive of the major entertainment mediums and just keeps getting more and more expensive. Pay to play, DLC, Twitch subscripts, patreon exclusives and now paid mods. I feel like this thing I love is trying to drain money out of me at every possible opportunity.
You may say "thats just business" but I can buy a book, movie or album without feeling like I'm being nickel and dimed why is gaming so damn different?
I got Legend of Zelda collection for the Gamecube and a SNES classic controller for the Wii from Club Nintendo UK/Ireland. Can't complain its more than Microsoft or Sony have ever given me.
At launch with the Bungie name, advertising and preorders I'd say its going to sell very well. When it comes to long term who can say? Is anyone playing Titanfall anymore?
Unless something major happens later on in the game, unless there is a Dark Souls style "Ah Ha! I need to read the item descriptions!" moment I'm guessing plot is one area reviewers are going to come down hard on. With all these years of development, all of the creative minds gathered to create this game it had to be deliberate right? This is how they decided they wanted this game to be?
