This is where Nintendo is amazing. They are still very very shrewd in their own way, BUT they still play the long game. They understand and do respect their IPs. Microsoft likely looked at games as a natural place to expand 25 plus years ago when they were planning Xbox. The problem is games are similar to music in that somewhere someone has to truly care and love their craft be it music or games or other similar things. Microsoft just never truly was invested in games being in their blood. M...
Yeah and regardless if it wasn't exactly a blockbuster as a company you have to nurture a source that seems to be making great content for your brand. Sheesh. They have next to no exclusives and Hi Fi Rush certainly didn't cost what it costs to make Halo or Gears of War does. Yet if you care about your fans those that love Xbox you show support not pull the plug on a development team that just brought you a great game for Xbox and fans. It is puzzling.
I have been a defender of Microsoft and Xbox for many years. I was there at midnight to pick up the original Xbox. Been there through it all. I always buy every machine, but between Sony and Microsoft, I backed Microsoft more. Why? My son, most friends etc were on Xbox. But I am finally losing faith. They are not new to the video game business. They have been in it for 23 years now. There is no excuse that they have next to no games in terms of exclusives. Shuttering all these development tea...
Because then those that know would never click the link. Lol.
I've said something like this many times. When something is huge...it could be music, video games etc, it is fashionable to start the hate. I have loved every iteration of COD. Each has it's own merits. I have enjoyed them all and have never had a problem proclaiming it even when people heckled me. Oh well. People gonna hate.
All the more to emulate
I love Kena.
Agreed
PlayStation lovers can flame me if you want, but even if Xbox is in distant 3rd they still add pressure to Sony and keep them from complacency. Also, who cares if Microsoft doesn't sell many consoles. It is merely an option at this point for gamers. Microsoft may be more invested in PC gaming than Xbox, but who cares. Some like myself, prefer the simplicity of gaming from a dedicated console. I always own every system Nintendo, Xbox and Sony so this doesn't affect me, but why should i...
I can't believe no one has commented on this. I figured people would have a field with this one. Lol.
Don't you know you can not say anything remotely good or positive about Microsoft or Xbox with out a barrage of criticism.
They certainly could have done more. That could be said to some degree about all the added on content even the Tomb Raider and Final Fantasy stuff, but definitely this and SpongeBob too. But it is what it is in that it is more content to clean and that is welcome for me. I love the game and it never gets old. I just wish more content came quicker that's all.
I love it🤷🏻♂️
They'll get my money day one!
Love it. Don't care.
Plenty will never admit if Microsoft and Xbox ever do anything right or well. Sadly.
There are so many IPs Sega could revive or even change into a new direction. For me, I want Virtua Fighter revived!!
Let's hope not. Sigh.
Jak and Dexter is my first choice if they take on the tone of the first one more. Colorful and fun. Resistance a very close second. And rounding out my personal top 3 InFamous. Come on Sony.
My feeling is their biggest mistake is not understanding what is the heart of gaming...the games. They have been in video games now at least 23 years. That is way more than enough time to build internally and organically their own IPs. Halo was brilliant and they hit the road running with Halo being so good out of the gate. Forza and Gears are fantastic too, but they have been inconsistent to non-existent after that. There is absolutely no excuse for this. They have had plenty of time to deve...
