Xboxist: "For a title that's all about leveraging nostalgia to bring gamers together, the Xbox 360 Game Room seems to be having the opposite effect -- it's driving gamers away.
The primary mistake Microsoft made is in their overblown pricing structure -- 40 msp ($0.50) for 1 play, 240 msp ($3) for unlimited play on one platform (Xbox or Games for Windows), or 400 msp ($5) for unlimited play on both platforms (Xbox and GFW)."
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.
Clive actor Ben Starr plays kiss, marry, kill with Final Fantasy characters, and decides to off Cid from Final Fantasy 12.
Ew VO actors and their cringe core. Fiverr voice actors could out perform this chump.
not too crazy about the pricing and i wish there was more interaction with other players. other than that i love old school games even though nostalgia can be a real kick in the teeth.
more crap for us.
" The primary mistake Microsoft made is in their overblown pricing structure "
You're just saying that now? Lmao
is that...you cant move around..what the hell is up with that microsoft...
until I see what other games are released. Seeing as how you had to plop down $.25-.50 a pop to play these back in the day, I don't see how $3 for unlimited play is so horrible. I've spent way more than that in a few hours at Family Fun Center.
