I haven't bought one of these games since probably 2k13. I miss the days of just chilling on the couch playing against my buddies, passing the controller around, laughing our asses off and screaming at the TV when you get beat in the final seconds. But man... I'm tired of this business model, where every game franchise releases a "new" version every year, hits you over the head for at least 60 bucks, then tries to make you spend over 100 by the time you're done with collectors editions and DLC packs. F that. That was never for me.
It's a shame, all I see now is complaints about the way the game looks and feels. 2K used to be a guaranteed banger when they dropped, but now I guess they're trying to be too fancy, or maybe the developers get a bit complacent and bored with the process and aren't trying to innovate enough.
If you ask me, they should release a new base model every few years with some real improvements worth paying full price for, and charge you like 9.99 each season in between for roster updates and some small tweaks. But I guess when people keep falling for it, and you're making millions on top of millions with franchises like 2K, Madden and Call of Duty every year, why change it up?
Only game I really play now is Rocket League. Anyone else here get down? This game feels like you're playing a real sport with how perfectly the physics work, how smoothly the online mode works, and how damn competitive it is online. It's perfect for Esports because the level of skills you can develop over time is insane. Games like 2K or Madden never actually feel like basketball or football. You hit a button to perform a move or unlock some animation, which is fine and dandy. But nothing really translates from real life to the game itself, besides maybe spacing or play calling. With Rocket League, it really feels like you're playing soccer inside of a car lol. Hard to fully explain unless you play it and feel it for yourself.
Drop me some PS4 gamertags if you're trying to get this work in RL.
