Gamnesia "I know Microsoft has had a couple of bad years in gaming, but this was one of the worst. I mean, no one can deny they pretty much messed up in 2013."

I thought Deadpool was a great game and $49.00 at release to boot.

abzdine3764d ago

Fuse is a disaster. don't understand what IG was thinking

Piece is about most disappointing games of 2013, has a picture of the Xbox one...

I think last light was a fine game.

EDIT: wise choice changing ur picture... But this piece still screams of Xbox hate

anticlimax3764d ago

Metro LL was in my opinion a really good game. Different enemies with different approaches, sneaking parts, parts with the light and only getting nightvision later on, the battery and the airfilters + a pretty decent story with a likeable alien.

nategrigs3764d ago

But disappointing could mean that it didn't live up to they hype created by the previous entry. It doesn't mean that its bad

aliengmr3764d ago

What hype? Metro 2033 barely had any hype at all.

According to the author it was disappointing because it was sexist.

MadLad3764d ago

I listed it as one of my top ten in my article for Duuro.

JohnnyTower3764d ago

"every game in microsofts 2013 library"?! That's a little biased. I enjoyed Dead Rising 3 and Forza immensely. No disappointment here.

nategrigs3764d ago

I haven't played either (ps4 guy), but I could see how someone could be disapointed with the direction Forza took (gimped economy/microtransactions). Yes I know they addressed these issues.

Dead Rising has always struck me as a series that you either enjoy or you don't. If you liked 1 and 2 you'll prolly like 3, if you didn't you wont. So I don't see how thats disappointing.

KI is supposed to be good too right?

JohnnyTower3764d ago

KI is good, but I don't care for the payment model so I only play with free Characters.

I didn't really care for Dead Rising 2 because of the story and characters, but they really nailed it in the 3rd one. Nice and gritty.

And Its too bad about Forza, there was a few people that didn't care for the track selection, but I like it.
If anything, the biggest disappointment of 2013 was the intrusion of MicroTransactions on consoles. Nobody wins with that nonsense.

Sayai jin3764d ago

I really never got into DR1 or 2, but DR3 is a really good gam IMO. I enjoyed Forza and KI. However I was disappointed with the 2013 Xbox 360 game line up. Not a lot of great exclusive for the 360 in it's closing years.

from the beach3764d ago (Edited 3764d ago )

Out of nowhere the article turns into a Microsoft trolling session. 'All Xbox games in 2013 sucked!!' Ah, sure.

Irishguy953764d ago

It's Maria wut you expect??

Trekster_Gamer3764d ago

Extremely biased and unprofessional. What a douche!!!!!!!

kma2k3764d ago

Ill admit Ryse was very disapointing, but i really am loving dead rising 3!

The Most Disappointing Game of 2013 for me was.....

Aliens Colonial Marines ;(

4logpc3764d ago (Edited 3764d ago )

Does that qualify as a game? I would say a game needs to be playable.

snookiegamer3764d ago (Edited 3764d ago )

Lool you're kinda funny :)

Admittedly...I did buy it for £5.98 in the PSN January sale, but I feel bad for those who purchased at full retail price ;(

*Edit

Article seems overly biased. There's even an image of the Xbox One?

anticlimax3764d ago

So simcity was out too then?

irishyort3764d ago

@4logpc bubble up for your joke there sir, lmao

nategrigs3764d ago

I didn't play it, but it sounds like it should be on the list. It certainly didn't live up to the hype

Microsoft's Absurd Antics Have Me Scared For Dishonored And Arkane Lyon's Future

With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.

Relientk779h ago

I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.

JEECE6h ago

I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.

thesoftware7305h ago

Lol, why don't we just say, we are worried about all studios owned by MS now. They will keep closing studios until they have none left ...🙄

Skuletor3h ago

Just merge them all into a single studio, have it churn out a single Call of Duty every year and call it a day, lol.

Barlos2h ago

Don't be scared, you'll be fine.

Skuletor2h ago

It's exputer, fine is one word I would not associate with them.

Profchaos2h ago

I think it's becoming clear based on matt bootys comments there's no future for any IP that can't sell above 10 million within the launch window. But is also a small game that gives them prestige

/S it's beyond a joke right now

Rumored PlayStation May 2024 showcase could happen this week per industry insider

A renowned industry insider has suggested the rumored PlayStation May 2024 showcase featuring Silent Hill 2 could happen this week.

Bogus!
Why would Sony do that and how would this benefit them?
1) It would piss off their media partners (IGN, Gamespot, Edge, etc.) since they would have to allocate resources fast to cover the event.
2) Risk of not having great coverage or proper coverage from the various source
3) It could give the impression that they are not confident in their own stuff.
4) They would miss the chance to hype the event losing viewers and losing free marketing time.

Again I'm calling it bogus unless it's a small showcase before the big one or because they want to announce that Hellbalde 2 is also coming on PS5.

SlothLordPootus7h ago

As far as I can remember, they typically give a week heads up for these sorts of things.

Lightning777h ago

I was about to say Sony always gives a week in advance for their show.

VersusDMC6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Last year it was a weeks notice.

https://blog.playstation.co...

May 17th announcement for may 24th show.

VersusDMC6h ago

Nintendo always tweets that a direct is happening tomorrow but no one cares.

Sony gives a week or days of notice and we get anti sony type fake outrage like this.

But good luck trying trying to get some Sony hate going...

Petebloodyonion6h ago

You just mention it!
Sony gives a week in advance NOT just a couple of days.
So I fail to see what Sony's hate movement I'm trying to start when it's a basic business strategy to not piss off your partners (ask Sega).
And I doubt it's hate to ask how it would benefit Sony in doing so.

thesoftware7305h ago(Edited 5h ago)

@Versus
Huh? What?

Bro you really should relax, if what you read was some kinda negative against Sony.... seriously, is that what you got from the comments?

Bro, he was debunking the rumor, and gave perfectly good reasons why it would be unlikely, and your Nintendo Direct comparison is different, as this is supposed to be a BIG Sony showcase, not a surprise 20 min direct, and Sony 's pattern has been one week.

Slow down warmonger.

VersusDMC5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

@thesoftware730

"1) It would piss off their media partners (IGN, Gamespot, Edge, etc.) since they would have to allocate resources fast to cover the event."

That is implying Sony is preventing them from doing their job properly therefore negatively affecting their business...but i guess that's a reach in your mind?

And it's not like they need that many resources to cover the stream. They just need 3 people to react to the stream live and make some easy articles made up mostly of summaries of Sony provided press releases. They would have enough time to "prepare" if it was announced with one days notice.

Petebloodyonion3h ago

@Versus
" That is implying Sony is preventing them from doing their job properly therefore negatively affecting their business...but i guess that's a reach in your mind"

No, it simply implies that some media all over the world might (keyword MIGHT) not properly cover the event like having proper articles for each game announced, or having a proper preshow. maybe some popular YouTubers won't have time to prepare or simply your local newspaper doing an article on tech and game.

So why would Sony take a chance?
What benefit would that give them?

Before I get tons of replies for Sony given a week in advance, my initial comments are related to the notion that the Show could happen this week as the title mentions.
Now to be fair the complete article mentions that Jeff said the Show could happen later in May giving time for Sony to give the normal 7-day notice.

Again not trying to start a negative thing here just thinking that it's bogus that Sony will have a show this week

notachance5h ago

Yeah as much as I’d like to hear what sony’s 1st parties have cooked, it’s not their style to shadow drop a showcase.

Still waiting for ghost of tsushima 2, I’m ready whenever man..

You're assuming media outlets don't know about it.

Going in with no expectations but likely will see something that resonates with me.

DeadlyFire12m ago

Nah they will announce it probably, but it won't happen right away soon though yes.
