The summer often brings a drought of major game releases, and 2012 has been no different. Companies opting to hold their best titles for the holidays can leave gamers with a lot of extra time on their hands. Here are a few tips for tiding over those empty hours.
Luigi's Mansion 2 HD still performing well.
The platform breakdowns really show how irrelevant xbox has come for selling software.
1 Hogwarts Legacy Switch 41%, PS5 26%, PS4 24%, Xbox 5%
2 EA Sports FC 24 Switch 34%, PS5 28%, PS4 26%, Xbox 12%
Yea, you can see why some developers and publishers are increasingly starting to skip XBox all together. Unless you're in a small minority of successful and highly played Gamepass games, you're pretty much taking a payout on your game just to rot and die on the service.
Not that surprising, the Switch has some killer exclusive titles, so people have to own a Switch to play them.
Minecraft's bundles promise to shakeup the game's inventory woes, and its approach should be applied to similar frustrations.
Several mobs have been designed but left unused in Minecraft's history despite their potential, including the hostile illusioner mob.
Play Retro games
:)
I want to play Link to the Past so bad after seeing it on Game Grumps.
Go back and get the games you missed unless you’re a 24 hour gamer, in which case you played them all.
As for me I am trying to finish Darksiders 1 to decide if I want Darksiders 2 (apparently the rainstorm in the drought… though NHL and Borderlands is not far behind).
I also have Dues Ex, Witcher, Just Cause 2 all in my queue (gotten cheap or in witcher’s case relatively cheap). And I have been advised that the first Metro game was good so I got to get that. I haven't played the last Medal of Honor, Black Ops, MW3, Dragon Dogma or the last AC or the last Fable (but I am told it’s not that good, looking to get it really cheap). And there are still others I probably missed. Heck I got Bad Company 2 a month or so ago for $5.00 and that game was great!
Few weeks ago I was all about the sports games, those can eat a lot of time. And of course you could always start a new character in Skyrim which would last you till the next game downpour.
Lots of options besides just arcade games.
