Microsoft’s plans for an always-online entertainment hub don’t seem so wild anymore.

Explore 5 horror games that promise unforgettable scares and sleepless nights. Perfect for thrill-seekers!
Very safe list of horror games. I would argue that Amnesia Machine for Pig was not that great. Dark Descent was much a much better game.
Far better games have been released in this genre (Dead Space Remake, Alien Isolation, Alan Wake 2 etc).
The Mass Effect trilogy shines as one of the only Western RPGs to give an immersive and unforgettable experience.
There's much better wrpg series. Mass effect dumbed down after the first one. Seemed a but different going from the 1st to the second, not in a good way.
My favorite trilogy will be the Ar Tonelico trilogy, Xenosaga trilogy followed by the ME trilogy.
How can it be the best trilogy when the 3rd one is terrible and the only thing it had going for it was the multiplayer?
Considering all 3 witcher games are better
Considering all 3 Dragon age games are better
Considering all 3 Baldur's gate games are better
Weird choice
comments on this one should be interesting.
I'll start. i enjoyed the idea of what the XBO wanted to be. A central hub for all of your entertainment. They just went about it all wrong. It was pretty neat to do picture in picture and snapping different screens around but that was about it. Its performance was underwhelming. Its size was overwhelming. And its marketing was just... tone deaf.
Making the needed changes to correct course took a while but at least they did actually do something instead of stick their fingers in their ears at all the criticism and stay the original course. Every company goes through a learning spurt. And it always seems to be during their third console outing. Usually the third time is the charm but I guess that just does not apply to gaming.
Can we stop trying to rewrite history with this one, their vision was awful and this kind of shit is still awful today. Just because others do it now doesn't mean it’s suddenly right.
it still seems a wild idea.
cause, what if u dont have internet for some sort of reason?
whatnif theres a storm and snow and lightning and all sorts of shit that can literally affect your internet. or what if the servers are down and your internet doesnt work?
no no, always online is shit. it will always be shit.
UNLESS we all have unlimted access to internet. but we dont.
Kotaku being kotaku.
What a conveniently well timed take.
