TNB: Alot of people are outraged when they see the word overrated, especially when it relates to a product they own. I have come under the most attack on the internet when ever I attempt to make a case in respect to the usage of the word; overrated. It wouldn't matter anymore if the same thing happens. One thing however is established; that a vast majority of people are not able to take criticism on something as trivial as video games. If I said a couple of games were underrated in one of my previous articles, I think it wouldn't be much of a bad idea or out of place to also reveal a list of games that were simply overrated through-out current gen.
Xbox 360 launched 18 years ago and was a generation-defining console that invited many people to jump into gaming for the first time and connect with friends around the world. We’re thrilled people continue playing their favorite Xbox 360 games on Xbox 360, or on newer consoles via Backward Compatibility for supported titles.
"we believe in game preservation"
Remember the media reaction when PlayStation wanted to shut down the PS3 store (but then kept it open)... where is that reaction here?
What are you asking? Like, if people got pissed at Sony for that? Because they did. We also got pissed at Nintendo when they did it.
You’re getting a chance to buy what you want before they close it. Moving forward digital stores should work like Steam. It’s just in this beginning they made it platform specific and closed off. A hindsight in their part and it sucks, but what is the percentage of people buying anything off these stores and what is the cost to keep the servers up?
I get it and yes making strives so this isn’t the case every gen we go into is absolutely a must. I mean PSN on PS3 is so convoluted to buy anything since you can’t use a credit card. Vita store is gone. It’s going to go away eventually.
"What are you asking? Like, if people got pissed at Sony for that? Because they did. We also got pissed at Nintendo when they did it."
My point is when PlayStation did this every website under the sun was writing articles talking about how "anti-consumer" it was yet I haven't seen anything like that happening when it's xbox doing it, in fact mostly what I see is praise from media when xbox makes obviously false claims about game preservation while they close down their store and xblig and push for digital only consoles streaming and subscriptions.
What I am asking is for everyone to be criticized or praised equally.
I mean look at the way the PS5 Slim's detachable disk drive was reported, it was super critical. Even though in reality they made it easier for people who initially buy a digital only console to move to physical, it was actually a step away from digital only. But did it get reported like that at all... no.
And you can still buy stuff on PlayStation you just need to add money to your account on the website or a PS4/5.
RIP Xbox 360 digital store and all its games.
It really grinds my gears that they are waiting till 10 days before closing to give the best discounts and the list as of now is 100 or less titles from the massive 360 library
I should have enough points by the weekend to get £25 credit off MS, (hardly ever spend money on xb1), might look at a few of these.
The Xbox 360 store was one of the only advantages the Xbox Series consoles had over the PS5. When I got my series X, I spent more playing Xbox 360 games vs current-gen Xbox games since that was the golden era for Xbox and several titles had enhancements such as 4k resolution and fps boost.
Closing this store will now only benefit the competition.
The xbox360 store is closing on the xbox 360.
Xbox 360 games are unaffected on the xbox one and series consoles.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
agree for the most part but its hard to say top 5. because halo3, mass effect and god of war 3 could easily replace most of those. gta4 would be the only one i question on that list.
i disagree Assassin's Creed II & Brotherhood were some of the best games.
I strongly disagree with every single word typed about MGS4 in that article.
Best game this gen for me.
That seems like a bad list to me. Mgs4 and skyrim are both really good games. Are they overrated, maybe, but there more likely to be in my top twenty games of this gen, then a top 5 overrated.
*** most importantly the idea of an aging snake and making him suffer back pain was a ridiculous attempt to make an already bad game worse. ***
Worse decision ever in my opinion, it's like he wanted to write himself into a corner because of his "I'm done with MGS after this game" speeches then when he obviously knows people want another one it's like "Oh...well I can't progress the story now...I know ANOTHER prequel". The only way they can bring Snake back now is if they force a "cure" into the game or they do an alternative timeline starting with MGS1, a way where Naomi doesn't get captured but finally finds out a cure for Snake, guessing the plot of one of the future games could revolve round that
I'm playing it now for the first time. It's alright but I really miss the style which I've gotten used to from MGS1-3.
I feel like I can't do stealth as much as I could in the past games aswell, it kind of forces you to go into alert mode for some action, the radar dosen't help mind, worse that it's powered by a rapid decreasing battery. So they can have bloody robots and futuristic tec but they can't make a long lasting battery.
As for AC, the only AC I think has been over rated this gen is AC3.
