Microsoft recently announced that they'd upgraded the Xbox One's CPU from 1.6 GHZ to 1.75 GHZ, and have already begun production with this model. Developers will shortly be receiving the new models, allowing them to test and alter their games as much as they can between now and the Xbox One's launch.
Saad from eXputer: "Utilizing its myriad strengths and masterful design, Elden Ring ruined gaming for me in a way I'll always be thankful for."
It sounds like you’re just an eldenring fan and not so much a fan of games by and large. Which theres nothing wrong with.
These are the easy Achievement/Trophy Games for the week of April 29th - May 5th, 2024
Microtransactions have gotten ridiculously overpriced in recent years, with titles now offering cosmetic skins worth more than some games.
The elephant in the room tho is personal accountability. It’s easy (albeit basic) to blame the big, bad corpo, but microtransactions wouldn’t be where they are if gamers didn’t spend money on them. As it stands the MTs usually make more than the game. Publishers know raising game prices will cause backlash, so they do MTs to compensate. But the adult conversation is consumers determine the success of products with their wallets. So if MTs are a huge thing, it’s because we as consumers told them we like them by giving them a lot of money for them. So if you don’t want them to be a thing, convince your fellow gamers to stop buying them and expect that games will be decently more expensive. You all can disagree all you want, but reality is a bitch, and eventually you have to live in it.
Trying to convince people is the least realistic thing. If we are trying to be adults, actual action is what changes things not "convincing campaigns" on platforms owned by the people 'you' are going against. It's madness and idealistic.
There never was, the only time I paid for a microtransaction was on Blacklight Retribution (PS4) and it was because I enjoyed the game a lot so I felt the devs should get something for all that entertainment (€5 "membership")
The devs wouldn’t get that though, that shit goes straight to the higher ups who do f*** all let’s be honest.
Probably, but I wasn't as cynical back then and €5 wasn't a big ask to get the guns with grinding instead of renting them, and the game was good (still is on the PS5/4)
I couldn’t believe what Blizzard charged for horse armor and cosmetics in Diablo 4…
I remember back in the day when a season pass was $15 and you got everything included in it. Now, I see them at $60 and you still don’t get everything.
As soon as gaming wasn't deemed nerdy anymore, and reached the casuals this happened. We're smart, but casuals play mobile games and other stuff, and don't really have anything to compare. They think gaming is supposed to be like this and pay for in game purchases.
ok my iq dropped by half after reading this article
im getting the xbox one by the way. my gosh
is n4g rehash news for gamers?
"Microsoft recently announced that they'd upgraded the Xbox One's CPU from 1.6 GHZ to 1.75 GHZ, and have already begun production with this model."?
Seriously ? The cpu wasn't upgraded, the clock speed was augmented, actually the cpu could go up at 2GHz. Both Ps4 and Xbox could make their CPUs running at 2GHz( which is their normal state), but they were under-clocked to prevent more heat and noise.
Just google a little.
How can "games be more powerful" (I'm paraphrasing)? That was rather poorly worded. It's up to the system.
Bad article. I wasn't sure if he liked Xbox one or what?. Who compares ps3 to Xbox one. I think you meant Xbox 360. Anyways I'm pretty sure there will be no red ring this time. Microsoft made this console to be always on for a 10 year span. So there will be no red ring its bin takin care of. Relax.
My head hurts after reading that so called "article". There should be a law against posting such garbage...
