The concept of Achievement Points and a Gamerscore has become more popular than Microsoft ever imagined. Group Product Manager Aaron Greenberg and Epic Games lead designer CliffyB chime in on why gamers are seemingly obsessed with these points.
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion
Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*
*As per Wikipedia
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II was an intriguing and unique RTS title, that sadly suffered in its console port.
Was just thinking about this game and wishing I had a way to revisit it. The way EA scrubs these titles from existence once their licensing runs out is horrid.
Indeed. The game can still be played online on PC.
Xbox 360 players, though? Bang outta luck.
appeals to our inner collector. Its a badge of honor. Its many things to many people, all different but the same!
One word : Addictive
I enjoy watching my acheviement points go up, but some folks are crazy with it. My bud MUST GET ALL achievement points he can from every game. I am not knocking him .. hey I wish I had as many as him, but I guess some folks are just not that worried about it ............. but we still love to show off the ones we have.
ahh.... crack feels good....
wait... its so cold now.... must play more...
should extend your playtime with the game. You know how people do idle stuff in games just for personal enjoyment? Well, now you get rewarded for it!!! Brilliant!!! (see guinness commercials).
