By the time that Tokyo Game Show 2008 kicked off back in October, a fair few people had already snaffled a copy of Weekly Famitsu, intended for release the following day. It showed Xbox 360's hardware sales ahead of PS3's in Japan for the fourth week in a row (It had remained ahead up until early November.)
It set the tone for Microsoft's ballsy push into the Japanese market that was to be made evident at the convention. With the price of the console now below that of Wii in Japan, and its gaming catalogue promising tasty software deals with Japanese publishers like Square Enix, can Xbox 360 really conquer a region that previously seemed so very uninterested in what it had to offer?
ScreenRant's Ben Brosofsky writes, "There have been a lot of great co-op games over the years, and the best of the best cover a wide variety of genres while maintaining the fun."
ScreenRant's Stephen Tang writes, "The Elder Scrolls 6 won't be releasing for a while, and in the meantime, the modding community has been making Skyrim into a next-gen game."
That’s just laughable to me. I think they’ve squeezed all they can out of an 12 year old game
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."
Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.
And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.
I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.
No.
A turnaround really? Talk about 360 getting a free pass. If 360 turned around in Japan then PS3 has zero things to worry about in America. The only time they actually sell more than they do is when an exclusive game comes out and other then that the sales go back to the way they are a year ago. After 2009 I doubt 360 will have any exclusives with Japanese developers unless Mystwalker gets payed another load of money to make more.
This edge site is a freakin' joke.
I can forgive bloggers, but bloggers who are paid to be journalists... no excuse! Do they believe what they write?
Edge, they use to be good back in the pre-WWW days because they were the best source for high quality screenshots of games.
That was a long, long, long time ago.
Now they are nothing more than a pathetic joke of a site.
Microsoft has done a pretty good job of getting titles available on the 360 that Japanese gamers seem to be interested in.
