With a $399 console and Sunset Overdrive getting everyone excited, today has been a very good day for Microsoft, and it will result in higher hardware sales.
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.
Hopefully Hercule will at least get his jetpack.
Lol, no... This changes little, and Sony doesn't need to respond, since the PS4 is still more powerful. It will come down to games.
Yes the One may outsell the PS4 in the US for a couple months, but once the hype goes down, everything will go back to normal
Given that all but two of the Xbox 360 gamers that I know (which, believe me, is a LOT) have switched over to PS4 and won't even consider getting an Xbox One because of how they feel they were treated... I don't think Microsoft could possibly pull off a winning move at this point. The respect, for many, is long gone and that can't be overlooked.
A inferior console for the same price is not a winning move more like a forced move from the declining sales.
"Microsoft still nearly pulled even with Sony over the last few months (according to NPD numbers)."
Wasn't the ps4 outselling the xbox one 2:1 in the US for the past couple of months according to NPD? I could be wrong on this.
Not so fast. Do you assume Sony is just sitting on their butts? They and Microsoft will have some more aces up their sleeves this E3.
