Nintendo would buy Sega Sammy, as one reader is unsurprised to hear about the death of Hyenas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@metro.co.uk<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Good advert<\/strong><br \/>I\u2019ve been playing Starfield on Game Pass this weekend and I think I\u2019ve had enough already. It really is the text book definition of \u2018fine.\u2019 Nothing about it is terrible and yet nothing about it is great either. There\u2019s very little about it that\u2019s even good, if I\u2019m honest, with the best bits probably being the starship construction and the variety of weapons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">It\u2019s ironic that the game people have got most angry about this year is the one that, under normal circumstances, it\u2019d be almost impossible to have a strong opinion about. And yet still it probably counts as the biggest disappointment of the year, simply because it\u2019s so far from what the hype was suggesting about it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Personally, it\u2019s well below my personal expectations. When I look back to things like Frontier: Elite 2, and see what games like that did compared to a brand new modern game with a huge budget behind it, it\u2019s shocking really, at the lack of ambition and technical advancement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">In a way it is a good advertisement for Game Pass though, in that if I\u2019d paid money for Starfield I\u2019d have been very upset. With Game Pass though I\u2019m just disappointed and ready to quickly move on.<br \/><strong>Fambe<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Fine, I\u2019ll do it myself<\/strong><br \/>With all the talk of Microsoft sniffing around, wanting to buy new publishers, and both them and Sony interested in Square Enix, I do wish Nintendo would finally make fans\u2019 dreams come true and buy Sega. As a former Mega Drive owner I know this is a complete betrayal of everything I ever argued in the playground but I think Nintendo are the only ones that could do Sonic justice and who would be interested and capable of bringing back the classic franchises.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">I know this isn\u2019t the way Nintendo like to act, especially as they\u2019d have to buy Sammy as well, but perhaps they\u2019ll look and sea how things are panning out and realise they don\u2019t want to get caught out as soon many other companies are getting snapped up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">I\u2019d so love to see a 10\/10 Sonic The Hedgehog or modern versions of Golden Axe or Panzer Dragoon. I just don\u2019t think it\u2019s ever going to happen though, unless someone else buys Sega and forces them to do it.<br \/><strong>Wotan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>All bad things\u2026<\/strong><br \/>I\u2019m very curious to see that free-to-play games, including the mighty Fortnite, seem to be running into trouble. I would have assumed that they were pretty much going to last forever since, you know, they\u2019re free and everything.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">So I guess people finally got fed up of being manipulated and conned into buying microtransactions all the time. I\u2019m not sure why that would happen only now and not earlier but then I wouldn\u2019t play such games so I\u2019m not sure if they\u2019ve changed in some way recently, that makes them worse?<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">I\u2019m not getting too excited though. All these anti-consumer ideas always seem to be replaced by something even worse in the end, so I dread to think what\u2019s next.<br \/><strong>Wallace09<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>E-mail your comments to: gamecentral@metro.co.uk<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Time poor<\/strong><br \/>I feel sorry for anyone that may be in trouble now with the cancelation of Sega\u2019s Hyenas, but that game looked terrible from the very first second they showed it. Super generic, super obnoxious, and yet another live service game filled with pointless cosmetics and desperate monetisation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">It\u2019s funny that Sony\u2019s Fairgame$ looks so similar, just not set in space, as if these things really are just being auto-generated by some AI somewhere.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">I like a good online game as much as anyone, but I absolutely do not need to be making it a second job that takes up every second of my spare time, as these companies seem to want to have it. I think that\u2019s why they\u2019re dropping in popularity too, because people are so short of spare time they just can\u2019t keep up.<br \/><strong>Columbo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Last throes<\/strong><br \/>Great Reader\u2019s Feature from Eric about the demise of arcades, particularly here in the UK, as it was bringing back memories of my youth. I want to add something that was not mentioned, which is online gaming. In my opinion, that sort of put a nail in the coffin of the arcades. Why? Because it was a way to play against total strangers without having to travel outside your home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Once it became more popular, when it was a feature on the original Xbox, I think this completely shaped the way we played against other humans, which has been accepted as the norm. A shame, because during the heyday of London&#8217;s Trocadero I remember they had something like an eight-player Daytona USA with in-house live commentary, which I thought was funny and excellent. I doubt I will ever see something like that again.<br \/><strong>orionz25<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Pure evil<\/strong><br \/>Just had a brilliant idea. So, we all know Far Cry, a franchise that has been around since 2004. Ubisoft clearly show no signs of slowing down, since the seventh instalment may very well be due soon. But from what I&#8217;ve read, regarding the possible storyline and the heinous time limit, it seems another run of the mill, save the damsels in distress and eliminate the villains. We&#8217;ve seen this in every instalment so far, in one way or another. From Vaas to Pagan Min, to Joseph Seed and Anton Castillo. No wonder why the sixth instalment is considered the worst.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">That fatigue has morphed, into an insidious spiral. Wouldn&#8217;t it be lovely, if we could either team up with the villain or play as a villain instead? Why should I care about resistance groups that leave me to carry out every mission and clear out every outpost but are able to do nothing of note and basically are copy pasted every game? It would be nicer to wipe them out instead, slaughter citizens that we don&#8217;t care, about and become pure evil.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Wouldn&#8217;t that beat clearing out another outpost, that are all the same, and wondering why fighting pointless wars is what we should give a damn about? At least Far Cry 4 and 6 had fantastic alternate endings. But Ubisoft never listen. So, I&#8217;m not purchasing Far Cry 7. I&#8217;m done with the outdated, repetitive boredom and the callous and pointless design.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Ubisoft need to do one smart move. Take that risk and make a massive change. To the point of no return and that would sell copies. Not another outpost and not another civil war. It&#8217;s dated. It&#8217;s lazy. It&#8217;s a Far Cry.<br \/><strong>Shahzaib Sadiq<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><em><strong>GC: <\/strong>Ubisoft never listen?

Using the D-pad for movement controls was and still is the preferred and recommended method for the many gamers still playing the old Core Design Tomb Raiders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">It is not perfect, of course, but the fact is the games were designed for playing using the D-pad. Even when joystick control option arrived with Tomb Raider 3, that was considered inferior because it was loose and woolly. The D-pad rules for subtlety, precision, and nuance, making things like curved jumps just a matter of rolling your thumb left or right.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">If derogatory comments had been made about the keyboard controls of the old PC Tomb Raider versions, making the game borderline unplayable, I&#8217;d agree without any caveats. Playing games like those without a controller is a special type of bad experience for me. However, I know others who still swear by that method, rather than at it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Anyone old enough to have been playing games in the original PlayStation era will remember that practically every game, even in the same genre, had different controller mapping. It took ages to become competent but that was part of the expected learning curve. It seems to me that some modern gamers not used to that just don&#8217;t have the patience we had back then.<br \/><strong>Malcolm Lawn<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Inbox also-rans<\/strong><br \/>It\u2019s really sad what\u2019s happened to Peter Molyneux\u2019s reputation.
