The Xbox One Reveal was not to everyone’s tastes. OK. It wasn’t to the majority of people’s tastes. Despite the chortling at the name, the look of the console, the fact that Kinect needs to be connected at all times, and that playing a preowned game will cost you more than it used to, we’re convinced that Microsoft did at least a few things right.
Atlantic City - America’s Playground is the dark and dramatic sequel to the glitz and glam of Atlantic City – Boardwalk Paradise.
The combat in this and ESO are some of the worst combat I have ever seen in current games.
A third game in the Falconeer series has been announced as the second, Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles, launches.
While there’s a lot to love about modern video games, there is one trend — particularly in the AAA space — that tends to grate: their length.
Games are coming out with too much fluff and side activities that are horribly dull. That's my main issue with all these open world games. Open world should be about exploration, discovery and wonder, not have some stupid 10s or 100s of boring activities spread throughout.
I stopped buying overfluffed games like a decade ago. Cant stand games with the Ubisoft mindset of just filling maps with uselss collectibles and fodder. Make it mean something. Ill gladly take 1/4 size of the map and 1/10th the "content" if it all meant more, were more unique and greater affect on your progression.
Well people complained like the world was ending when a few games were six to ten hours of gameplay. Developers listened and started making longer games full of repetitive gameplay, time wasting fetch quest and other forms of bloat. In doing so they were able to justify the high cost of a game being sold to the customers at seventy dollars or more.
It's been a problem with pretty much every modern AAA game all through last gen and this gen. God forbid you point it out tho because all these big games are masterpieces and people lose their minds if you criticize them. Death Stranding is a fetch quest fest, but people will die defending it cause it's a "masterpiece".
Compared to all the things they got wrong, this doesn't seem so great.
I must agree, they did get the stuff that no one would like out of the way.
Several Microsoft representatives in Q&As have already said that Games is their primary focus at E3.
15 Exclusives, 8 Brand new franchises by the end of the year?
I already know I'm getting disagrees for agreeing with anything positive about Xbox One.
One thing I'd add is...Controller is Sexy!
Hope they focus on exclusives at E3. And I'm glad Ryse isn't a Kinect only game "Controller based with kinect features"...Works for me.
I do like Playstation but was more of a fan back in PS1 & PS2 days. PS3 disappointed me, hoping PS4 goes back to some of their epic Franchises.
I am not very interested in the non game features, i am simply getting the xb1 for the games.
Remedy, Rare, Lionhead, Turn10 are the developers that made me interested in the xbox 360, and they are still around for the Xb1.
So i dont really see much problems with the X1, after all, they will keep delivering the games.
But yeah, i agree on those 5 points, especially the getting the bad news out early part.
It will make people look at E3 a lot more positive if its about the games only.
I can't get over the fact that they expect to sell over 1bn of these boxes this gen. If they really expect those kind of sales figures why design the box in a lunch break and not have any fixed policies ready for the reveal?
It all seems a little half-arsed for something they have put such huge expectations on.
The scars, the arm hairs, the rocket science, the transistors, and the dogs!!!
Just kidding. I was severely disappointed. I was so exited at the begining that I was practically glowing and Microsoft ruined that. I lost all faith in MS. Unless they change their policies and wow me at E3, the One is a no buy.
