LOS ANGELES, May 22 (Reuters) - New charges for online extras are sharply raising the price serious video gamers pay for Xbox 360 games, a profitable move by Microsoft Corp, but one that could alienate some fans. With more than 6 million users, Microsoft's Xbox Live online network has become the key feature distinguishing the Xbox 360 from rival Sony's PlayStation 3 and Nintendo's Wii.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion
Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*
*As per Wikipedia
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II was an intriguing and unique RTS title, that sadly suffered in its console port.
Was just thinking about this game and wishing I had a way to revisit it. The way EA scrubs these titles from existence once their licensing runs out is horrid.
Indeed. The game can still be played online on PC.
Xbox 360 players, though? Bang outta luck.
Clive actor Ben Starr plays kiss, marry, kill with Final Fantasy characters, and decides to off Cid from Final Fantasy 12.
Ew VO actors and their cringe core. Fiverr voice actors could out perform this chump.
It might alienate people if they dont wanna pay? of course thats the way its all ways been, It will be that way with every other service Wii and ps3 included.
If a company really dosn't wanna charge for DLC then they need to hold to there guns, because microsoft isn't gonna force them if they dont really want too, Epic can whine all they want, but if they had stuck to their guns of free DLC then it would have been free, They're the ones that comprimised by dictating that it would be free after 2 months.
Edit: I am perfectly willing to spend some money on well put together maps, If they suck? then i dont pay, so far all the maps i've seen released have been of great quality so i paid the price.
The map packs I have bought I have felt have been worth it. But then again PC users have been given so many freebies it really is frustrating knowing that not only do we have to pay extra for the game itself, but we also have to pay monthly to play and extra for anything new that comes out (most of the time.)
One day someone will come out and say we will be free! And that is when their software sales go through the roof, with customers knowing that they will get more love well after the initial $60.00 spent without having to fork over that extra money to continue online play.
I think also microsoft should have a time limit, say after a max of 9 months whatever extra content comes out for games will be free from then on, similar to Halo 2 and Gears. I mean who is gonna buy a year old game with online multiplayer knowing they are gonna have to buy an extra $20 worth of DLC before they can play said game online?
I don't buy what I don't want.
Kinda the whole premise for the 360.
Don't need an HDMI port, so I don't have one.
Needed more HD space so I got a 120 GB.
It's made for me.
want the price of the Elite to go down.
