Funatic- it was a joke my dear, a simple joke.

@ Funantic

MS is also good at making people pissed at them.

They don't give you MS word when you get MS windows on a freaking computer. Instead you have to buy it. Thank you OpenOffice.

Microsoft has made plenty of money on the Xbox division the problem is Xbox is lumped in with other divisions that dont make money so when the entertainment division reports a operating loss it looks bad.

Xbox division made over 2 billion in profits last year alone. Every console, every game, every accessory, ever movie.. Everything makes them money.

SniperControl3471d ago

@fun

Lol, probably one of the most childish comments i have ever read on here.

Ironthighs3471d ago

I understand that this is a joke, but it got me thinking about what Microsoft could do by making the game free.

First, it gets rid of that big initial hurdle of spending money up front to get into the game. Now that players are in the game, they can advertise an infinite amount of content packs for $1 or so each.

Of course, that's just a theory.

fr0sty3471d ago

@dox, xbox lost 4-6 billion dollars. Xbox 360 lost another billion on RROD. Xbox One is still losing money. The division has always been in the red, and never recovered.

This is why you hear rumors of spinoffs.

"Thanks Microsoft!"

Don' be so hasty. If the error was on Sony's side, guess who is going to pay for those free downloaded copies?

Kryptonite42O3472d ago

Thats what I was thinking.. people should be thanking Sony. It's their error so they will have to pay for it.
Sony just bought god knows how many copies of Minecraft from MS. Thanks Sony! lol

ZAF3472d ago (Edited 3472d ago )

damn free minecraft? thanks sony

I don't get it? why are we gonna get our accounts banned, we did nothing wrong we just wanted to try the demo and got the game for free instead xD, not our problem.

psvitamanfan3472d ago

It's not a definite that you'll get your account banned, but there's always the chance that Sony wont take too kindly to your actions. I'm not condoning anything, but it's at your own risk.

kreate3472d ago

Sony banned me before.
For first offense, I got a 1 week ban.

bouzebbal3472d ago

get it from a secondary account and you'll be fine!

Article is talking BS went to the RSA PSN store and it still had a pruce tag for both the vita and ps3 versions.

psvitamanfan3472d ago

You obviously didn't read it correctly then did you. If you did, you would know that it's not showing as free, but it becomes free when one adds the demo to the basket. Also, you have to do it on the online store, not the psn built into your playstation.

TheGrimReaper00113472d ago

... Wow, I did just that without knowing this

Still got both for free though XD

I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.

Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.

Name Last Name36d ago

I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.

Inverno36d ago

But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?

LucasRuinedChildhood36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.

But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.

- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).

Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.

Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.

Inverno36d ago

I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.

AuraAbjure36d ago

Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.

Minecraft Bedrock Introduces Official Add-Ons To Marketplace

Minecraft Bedrock is introducing add-ons to the marketplace. The add-ons can now be added to many existing and new worlds.

Jin_Sakai57d ago (Edited 57d ago )

Nice! Next up, shaders on consoles.

“A new update is improving how mods work for Minecraft Bedrock. Mojang has introduced add-ons to the marketplace.”

“These add-ons can now easily be added to new and existing worlds instead of being tied to a single world.
There are plenty of free and paid add-ons that will let you customize just about anything in your world.”

OtterX55d ago

So RayTracing is no longer locked to the NVIDIA maps? I know there was a workaround, but it will be nice to have easier access to all worlds.
