I am not trying to flame, but that was a very weak showing of the 360. That wave race at the end seemed worse that wave race for the gamecube. I just dont think the 360 has left anything left in the tank, especially after the let down of SC:DA. Now all you 360 fans are going to talk about GOW, Mass Effect, HALO3. But from what the 360 has shown so far, the hames have been let doown. Why MS, why did you rush your console, why are you comming out with these lame games, why are you "upgrading" now so your premium 360 will be almost as good as the barebones PS3. Sad, very sad indeed.

What's sad is you really believe that BULLSHIT opinion/theory you just posted. lol " you dont think 360 has anything left in the tank" are you fucing MAD!?. What console in video game history stop offering anything it's first year, what console?. You can list PS3 games and I can list 360 games all day although it might take a little longer with the 360's tittles list. You say the 360's rushed what the hell do you think Sony's been doing. Sony doesn't have a plan the PS3 is a reaction to the 360. Sony boasts about it's feature then they take them away; then they add them then the halfass implement them in the PS3(Motion sensing, Guide, Online) stolen featurs from MS & NIN. Flip floping is not a sign of a non rushed console.lol

maybe they were saving their energy for buying out the ps3 exclusives. maybe dealing with the 2 most anticipated games of the next year distracted them. maybe all those profit increases made them a little lazy. or maybe they were too busy laughing at resistance and redsteel. could be a number of things i guess.

plus its dumb to say their games over the last year werent that great. no they havent been mind blowing but thats what happens when you let your new console out a year early when people havent been devloping for any next gen system for very long. none of the ps3 launch games are wowing anyone. ps3 had a year longer to fix the bugs but all they did was force you to buy a more expensive dvd player, add more expensive hardware that pretty much equals what the 360 can do, have a couple delays for system launch, watch their "exclusives" lose confidence in them, made their system harder to devolope for, add the ability to view pictures from several different hardware devices (WHOA!!! $200 extra to view pictures!!!), and even with all that extra time they STILL have a super weak number of systems ready for launch AND delay europe. the funniest part about the people who bad mouth ms is that they use the tired arguement of "its only for fps's" (not that you did) as if fps are the worst kind of games yet sony's and nintendo's big launch games are fps. then you bad mouth the wave race when they showed it for all of 5 seconds. weak

although your start was a little fanboyish, it made me chuckle

Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX

This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1d 6h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo1d 6h ago (Edited 1d 6h ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing691d 6h ago (Edited 1d 6h ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken15h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos1d 12h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto1d 11h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger881d 11h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies1d 1h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
