Which? Convo: The stereotype of a ‘gamer’ has long been the young man holed away in his bedroom, playing games in the dark for hours on end by himself. Yet, new research has found that we might be smashing the stereotype.
Former Activision studio Toys for Bob partners with Xbox to publish its first game as an indie. This is something of a homecoming, as Microsoft owns Activision.
Manages to buy their freedom especially after all the shit Microsoft has been doing with its studios lately
...
Goes right back to them as partners.
Okaaaaaay...
Xbox’s gaming division seems to still function as 3 semi-autonomous sub-divisions, Xbox Studios, Bethesda and ABK. The three main sub-divisions can seemingly shut down or build studios and set up partnerships independently. This would explain why Bethesda can recently shutdown studios, while ABK spins off one studio, while building a new one. Plus, Toys for Bob could be spun off by ABK, only to immediately re-partner with Microsoft.
The Nerd Stash: "Developed by Treyarch Studios, Call of Duty: Black Ops games are some of the best in the series in terms of gameplay, story, and -- of course -- Zombies."
It seems Black Ops 6 will be another "DLC" download added to the Call of Duty HQ app for all platforms when it launches later this year.
this news makes the choice easy, Concord it is, - totally different, but happy for a change, not played any other shooter for about 5-6 years now
Yeah, they are adding more extensions to make the entire streamlined experience more convoluted.
...in cooking mama maybe.
Topping leader boards is a waste of time and not worthy of an accomplishment in life.
How many people are even legit anymore on the leader boards anymore with all of the hacking/boosting/glitching going on in video games today?
Show me something that's legit that put in the hours to get good, played the legit way without cheating, isn't using the most overpowered b.s in a game and that isn't playing in a modded lobby.
Until someone can show me that I don't believe that the people in the top leader boards are even legit.
Leader boards are important until the girls start heading up there. Suddenly they don't matter at all.
In casual gaming, maybe.
I know lots of young women who play video games really WELL. Even in my raiding guild in WoW, we had a part-time model... Stereotypes that only boys play games belong back to the 90s.
