\n\t\tGTA 6 \u2013 are all the old arguments going to return? (Rockstar Games)<\/p>\n
The Monday letters page thinks a \u00a375+ video game can be good value for money, as another reader tries to make sense of Doom\u2019s storyline.<\/p>\n
To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@metro.co.uk<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Violent visuals<\/strong> Is GTA 6 still going to have rampage missions where you mow down as many people as possible? Even if it doesn\u2019t is there going to be anything stopping you from doing that? I\u2019m not taking a stance on it, at least until I see how they handle it, but if you can just let rip with a heavy machinegun, or whatever, into a crowd, that\u2019s going to be pretty disturbing if it all looks and plays out realistically.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t feel this has been an issue for games for a while now, as most have managed to not have that kind of opportunity in it or there\u2019s no one in the world except bad guys. But GTA 6 could open up a whole new can of worms, and that\u2019s before we find out how it handles sex. There\u2019s a sort of sex scene in the second trailer but if Rockstar try anything more than that I can just imagine how the usual suspects are going to react.<\/p>\n The better the graphics get the harder these questions are to answer with a \u2018it\u2019s not real\u2019. Where do you draw the line in terms of how real it looks? You have huge guts<\/strong> Eternal doesn\u2019t really take itself that serious but at the same time there\u2019s nothing in it that\u2019s really funny, unless you count collecting the little Funko Pop! style toys. That seems a big mistake for a game that doesn\u2019t really have any interesting characters, including the main one.<\/p>\n I realise comedy is hard, but they could at least try. At a minimum they could just adapt the comic that \u2018rip and tear\u2019 comes from. It\u2019s still the best thing associated with Doom that isn\u2019t the games. Combat revolved<\/strong> I don\u2019t mind it coming to the PlayStation 5 but I fear the remake is going to dumb it all down to appeal to the people who haven\u2019t played Halo before. I still wish they would do a full remake of Halo 3, with all the cut levels included (there are fan made sequels that are great) .<\/p>\n Anyway, keep up the good work. GC:<\/strong> Thanks.<\/p>\n Email your comments to: gamecentral@metro.co.uk<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Staying friendly<\/strong> But since it is Microsoft, and they\u2019re so rich, are they going to be paying other publishers to get them to support them still? Apart from money I\u2019m not sure what hold Microsoft really has over other companies now that their hardware is irrelevant. It\u2019s definitely no kind of threat to be told you can\u2019t publisher on Xbox consoles anymore.<\/p>\n I guess the promise of being on Game Pass is still there, but that\u2019s not something bigger companies are going to care about, compared to indies. Maybe they\u2019ll just keep doing it out of a sense of diplomacy though. No point burning any bridges, I guess. Cheap risk<\/strong> I bought Lost Words: Beyond The Page in the sale on Nintendo Switch for \u00a31.19.<\/p>\n A simple story driven game with some nice puzzles, an interesting game mechanic, a great soundtrack and some incredibly voice-acting. The game certainly can\u2019t be accused of not trying something different in terms of storyline and you would have to be a robot or have a heart made of stone to not let this tearjerker get to you.<\/p>\n Anyway, I highly recommend it at this price, and I think it still has a few days in the sale to go. Profit warning<\/strong> This would mean that eBay has a huge amount of money sitting in their business accounts for well over a month. No wonder they were reluctant to not accept items which clearly violated their own policies! I also wonder if there are a lot of angry scalpers out there who were unaware of this? Most of the completed listings are for about \u00a3450-500, plus a handful around \u00a3600.<\/p>\n This includes the eBay protection fee, which would be roughly \u00a315, meaning that the majority would be making about \u00a350-ish profit. Seems like a lot of hassle and outlay for such a small amount, along with the inherent risk you always take with delivery services (both receiving and sending out). I can\u2019t believe that so many people have bothered doing this and the individual small gains hardly outweigh the strife caused by it. I would love to hear from an actual scalper and get their side of the story. GC: <\/strong>There was a Reader\u2019s Feature<\/a> at the weekend, but they didn\u2019t use eBay.<\/p>\n The future refused to change<\/strong> I think the problem is that it came out so late in the SNES\u2019s life, when the PS1 was already out in Japan. It was still a hit but nowhere near as big as it deserved. I think a HD-2D remake would be prefect and I would assume not that expensive. I really hope it happens. Hours of fun<\/strong> For example, over 10 years ago, I contributed to the Hot Topic of the week<\/a> saying I had put in 974 hours on Test Drive Unlimited 2 over six years.<\/p>\n Back then, I paid about \u00a322 for it second-hand and I haven\u2019t done the maths but I\u2019m pretty sure I got my money\u2019s worth plus some.<\/p>\n In fact, I\u2019ve recently started to regret I didn\u2019t pay the \u00a349.99 full price for it, such is the love I had for it, technical issues and cheesiness be damned.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve also paid around \u00a317.98 for Battlefield 1943 (on PlayStation 3 and Xbox One) and got many loved\/hated hours out of it.<\/p>\n What I\u2019m saying is if you\u2019re playing a game for many years and still getting fun out of it, with their now even bigger game worlds and other things to discover or unlock, should it matter if it\u2019s a bit more costly? Inbox also-rans<\/strong> Having watching the last arc of Andor (which is amazing, seriously some of the best TV I\u2019ve ever seen) I\u2019m even more confused as to why Star Wars: Zero Company is set during the Clone Wars. An Andor era setting makes much more sense, given how many different agents and missions Luthen and Kleya have going on at the same time.

GTA 6<\/a> looks amazing and everything but one thing I\u2019ve not seen discussed much is the possible backlash over its violence. I\u2019m going to assume it\u2019s the same basic level as the other games but not only do people look much more realistic in GTA 6 but there seems to be a lot more of them around in outdoors scenes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t played Doom: The Dark Ages<\/a> yet but I will agree I had no idea what was going on in Doom Eternal. The plot was so complicated but at the same time dumb and not interesting. Assuming it hasn\u2019t changed, which it doesn\u2019t sound like it has, I would agree that Doom needs to play up the comedy more.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve spent a good few hours this morning going through Halo: ODST and it is as good as ever. The gunplay, music, and setting is just second to none in the Halo games. I\u2019ve played through all of them hundreds of times (literally) and there is always a new way to beat the Covenant thanks to the great AI.<\/p>\n

If it was any other company, I think support for the next generation Xbox would be very limited. They\u2019ve had two disasters in a row, they\u2019re currently downplaying the Xbox Series X\/S, and the new console may be portable only.<\/p>\n

Just a recommendation here guys.<\/p>\n

I was wondering about a detail regarding the Nintendo Switch 2 consoles on eBay that\u2019s been puzzling me. New eBay policy is that sellers don\u2019t get their money until two days after confirmed delivery, if tracked, and two weeks (I think) if not tracked. Does this mean that all the sold listings currently on eBay (thousands at the time of writing) have all been paid for by the scalped and won\u2019t be received by the scalpers until June 7th at the earliest?<\/p>\n

I knew the talk of a Chrono Trigger remake<\/a><\/strong> was too good to be true but I hope all the excitement over the possibility convinces Square Enix that people are interested. I will never understand why that game is so overlooked, as it\u2019s by far my favourite 16-bit role-player. Heck, it\u2019s probably my favourite of all-time.<\/p>\n

PS: Speaking of amazing franchises that Square Enix ignores in favour of everything else, where is my NieR 3 annoucement?! Are they going to shadow drop it or something? Automata is over eight years old now!<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t want to sound like a shill for Nintendo but playing devil\u2019s advocate, is paying \u00a375 for games actually really that bad?<\/p>\n

Paid \u00a349.99 For The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered on PC this time and can\u2019t get past the front page (DirectX 12). Robbery.
