With MMORPG a predominately PC past time, Jim Pwnage as a guest writer for XboxOZ360-Gamer gives his thoughts on merging MMORPG's and console gaming.
Jim Pwnage writes: "Lets face it massive multiplayer role playing games, or MMORPG's for those tech savvy among you, are sort of a big thing right about now. MMO's such as Blizzard's World of Warcraft are converting people into gamers faster than you can say "Illidan has bitch-tits." The genre is very quickly making gaming not only culturally acceptable, but a mainstream pass-time."
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?
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.
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.
Interesting read. May be interesting to see how the upcoming titles will handle the communication aspect. I just dont think consoles are suited to handle some things like rts's and mmorpgs.
MMORPG's could work on the 360.. i mean everything is their just a matter of execution that's all
MMORPG's would be awesome on 360, get a chatpad - get a mic and go in a little pack (set mic to say 4 ppl only in a squad ala Bad Company) then have some fun! (Providing no excess subscription fee)
Screw the RPG stuff and lets get MAG out!
well after spending almost a solid month on this games listing, the idea of a MMO on the console/s is not that far fetched. As there are several "projects" underway that will shape up to be solid MMO's on the console, once released. Some won't be around until early 2010, or even late 2009, but they are on the way, and be decent developers as well.
Not saying too much now until I've finished the listing, as that would spoil half the fun of having the listing, now wouldn't it.
Interesting read nevertheless, and we welcome guest contributors from time to time, so if anyone thinks they have a decent story to tell, then email us.
