I have to join the bandwagon and say Game Pass is still an awesome value even without all DLC being included. It's worth mentioning that Game Pass subscribers get a flat discount (10-15% I think) on all DLC associated with games available on the service.
TDU2, which this is a direct sequel to, had an in-game casino, so the gambling stuff is not exactly out of place for this series lol.
Anyway this trailer is very stupid but I kind of love it for that, because the TDU games are kind of stupid in an endearing way (just watch the beginning of the TDU2 quick look for an example). Obviously I want to see some gameplay before this comes out, but plenty of time for that.
My point was they should have known this would have been the reaction before they even announced it. If they're changing course because of the backlash that means they probably weren't expecting it (cuz then why even go through with it in the first place). It's them not realizing this would be the reaction that is a concerning sign IMO in regards to their leadership. Makes them seem out of touch.
Obviously good news regarding the PS3 and Vita stores, but the complete reversal when faced with entirely unsurprising backlash doesn't exactly spark confidence in Sony's current leadership.
@kunakai Right, no doubt that's the intended use, but the problems stem from the values that are baked into the rating systems. The documentary "This Film Is Not Yet Rated" is a fairly damning documentary that exposes a lot of issues with the MPAA's movie ratings, and I think a lot of the issues discussed there cross over into games ratings as well.
It's definitely all about focusing social media engagement into a narrow period so that REVIII can be seen as "driving the conversation" or w/e for a period of time. So it's less about FOMO and more about creating a marketing blitz, I think.
I didn't get the silent assassination (because I was spotted trespassing and was too lazy to restart), but I was nevertheless pretty happy with my assassination method: https://gamerdvr.com/gamer/harpua418/video/131381354
Still got a decent score too because I found the painting.
Anyone else get slightly irked that you lose silent assassin the instant you're spotted trespassing, even if you leave the area before NPCs care? Seems like you should keep it until they escalate. I think that's my only (small) complaint about the silent assassin system.
