Analysis: How Netflix Could Shake Up The Game Rental Business

Chris Morris writes:Maybe it's a good thing that GameFly has been unable to get its act together and launch that IPO it filed for last February - because if it had, its stock would surely be taking a prison yard beating today.

Netflix has made some baffling moves in the last couple of months, and Sunday's announcement that it would be spinning its DVD-by-mail service into a separate division certainly qualifies as one of them. But the addition of video games to its offerings could be just what the business needs to prop that service up for a few more years.

Actually hating Netflix for shaking up the movie rental market, driving mom and pop out and even all but killing Blockbuster, with what was an unstable business model. Being forced to make radical changes themselves or risk going under.

And of course I just started using it again.

It's all natural movement of things. Big businesses are far more efficient than your small mom and pop shops.

Don't hate them, and they seem to be doing the right thing.

Im actually for this, currently im f'ing pissed at gamefly today, ive had gears 3 in my q for 3 months & had an open game q spot since last tuesday & they didnt ship me out gears today. This is only the 3rd time its happened to me in over a year i didnt get a game on release day, but still dammit it was one of the top 3 games i really wanted to play this year!

Gamefly have gotten better over time due to their post office quick returns, but they still take forever to get to me.
Though, Qwikster looks promising.

gamingdroid4595d ago

Gamefly is slow @ss hell! Takes them like a week for turn around time so I cancelled my trial subscription a long time ago. If they can't ship out in time trying to get you as a customer, I shudder at the thought of being a customer.

Maybe others have better experience?

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde2h ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me
