Kitguru: Crackdown was one of those titles that received little to no hype and when it was released I remember being stunned at how damn good it was to play – it was the true definition of a sleeper hit. I think I had more fun with it than I did with Grand Theft Auto Vice City, which is saying something. When my copy of Crackdown 2 arrived, I could barely contain my excitement.
The Xbox brand has done a lot of good over the years, but their various blunders are pretty wild to look back on in their magnitude.
Ironically number 9 can save them at this point (releasing games on multiple platforms)
Phil Spencer is the worst that has happened to Xbox.
They built a respectable brand up to Xbox one. Then this guy took over and things became a joke
Really good video.
I remember the days with RRoD was big news on here, N4G.
Microsoft had it turbulence number of years.
Looking at the success of Sea of Thieves despite being 6 years old, time to release Halo, Forza horizon 4 & 5 on PS5. It'll help their revenue
I found this video painful to watch. Can someone list them out?
Top 10 for me from are:
1. 2013 reveal presentation
2. Bundling Kinect 2 with Xbox One
3. RRoD or why rushing to market with hardware is always a bad idea.
4. Buying studios only to close them.
5. Ads on the Home Screen
6. Letting Halo die.
7. Letting Geard of War die.
8. Every console name
9. Charging for Xbox Live on Xbox 360 when Sony let PS3 players play online for free.
10. Cancelling release of OG Xbox games after the Xbox 360 launched.
Microsoft recently revealed its plans to incorporate Copilot directly into video games, with Minecraft being the first showcased example.
F*** AI
"Hey Copilot, what's a good meme to prove I dislike AI".... https://giphy.com/clips/sou...
Two trillion dollar company that just can't wait to put as many people possible out of work as fast as possible.
It feels like every single thing they do is making gaming worse and destroying the industry.
Why all the hate? Im actually excited about this! Always wanted this kind of immersion, and an AI companion with me all the time helping me out knowing the status of my skills/inventory/progress and giving me tips on the best approach or how to craft something specific is game changing for the industry.
Hate all you want about AI, but this is just the start and I can see the potential already. You wont be complaining in the next 5-10 years about this, but rather complain if a game hasn’t implemented it.
Microsoft's Activision subsidiary announced today that it is opening a new game development studio to take advantage of the huge talent pool growing in Poland. It'll be the second Activision studio based in the region, joining Infinity Ward Krakow, although this studio is, in fact, not working on Call of Duty.
i haven't played the game except for the demo but what amounts to a 30% out of 100% is fu*king ridiculous for this game. most of the complaints he has were the same things featured in crackdown 1, which he claimed to love. this review is just garbage.

Ouch, 1.5 seems too low in my book, even if the game is average...
I think even Too Human got better ratings.
I think some sites have begun to realize that unless you follow Destructoid's route for controversial review scores, you won't get "noticed". But that's like the four film makers on Cannibal Holocaust burning down a village, gang raping a girl and impaling her on a pole for the sake of a television ratings and controversy.
Seriously, that controversy sword will more often than not come back to hurt you.
