Yahoo - What's wrong with just loading up my game and playing it?

The headline news from E3 wasn't any game in particular. We knew about most of the big names already, and the best still aren't due until Christmas... at the earliest. No, the biggest thing to come out of this annual industry parade was the emergence of avatars as the Next Big Thing.

Ava-whats? Exactly.

Home shouldnt be called an avatar system

Joe29116167d ago

It isnt an avatar service, it goes way beyond that, its a virtual social network as far as i can see. Its not just about showing you as a character, its a way of meeting new people and jumping into games with people, deffinately not an avatar service. Im agreeing with you :)

TheDude2dot06167d ago

The writer clearly doesn't understand Home because it is not required. It is just an extra program you can use to do all the previous stuff with the added people online.

Kill Sarah6167d ago

that's what i'm talkin about
that's why HomeLess will fail !
walking through a hallway 2 launch a game ? PuHlEez

Tacki6167d ago

Home is optional. You don't have to go into it to launch a game.

butterfinger6167d ago

don't have to walk anywhere to launch the game still. You can immediately launch a game from a disc anywhere in Home. Then again, it's not like you are intelligent or anything.

Yahoo - What happened to just being a search engine & e-mail provider without reporting on things you know nothing about.

CrazyOrange6167d ago

well i care cuse sometime i wont play game but i wanna be on dashboard

yahoo and stfu and try to beat google

McValdemar6167d ago

Agana dimostration that Yahoo talks about something they completely don't know.

If you want to simply "load and play the game" (exactly what they shout in the title) you just have to turn on the option to immediate launch the game when a game disc is insterted.
Simple.
And flexible so the user can deide if auto.boot a disc or not.

How many articles like this we have to read after the failure of the agreement between Yahoo and MS?

kingOVsticks6167d ago (Edited 6167d ago )

but that would just make too much since and won't give them anything to
b!tch about.

"What's wrong with just loading up my game and playing it?"

what wrong with you guys NOT SHUTTING THE F**K UP!

butterfinger6167d ago

to find out that Yahoo! was just bitter about the whole MS thing and that is why they continue to post this nonsense. There really is no point to this article as the avatar systems are simply extra features that we can choose to use or not to use, and as you said, you can just make the game launch upon inserting it. Yahoo should leave the gaming articles to people that actually know anything about gaming, or at least wait until WE, the gamers, complain about our EXTRA features.

Willio6167d ago

"looks just like you! Lol!" or: "Looks nothing like you! Lol" and then go back to your game of Call of Duty where you can be a big soldier with a big gun instead of playing with dolls.

Come on, that was funny.

Wii60Fan6167d ago

VERY wrong with Yahoo and I refuse to use them anymore.

The Evil Within Deserved More: A Great Horror Series Left Behind

The Outerhaven writes: While I hold Bethesda's The Evil Within series as some of the best Survival Horror games available, it's clear that Bethesda has no intention of revisiting the series. While Capcom is still working on its Resident Evil series, I look back at the now-dead survival horror series from Bethesda, wondering why the series was left wide open, and yet still not revisited.

An OK horror series left behind. It had some great ideas, but it never knew how to play to its strengths. Instead, it came out like just another RE4 clone.

I would love for a third entry to come out, but it needs to learn to lean in on the psychological aspect and move away from the generic "pew pew" ideology at the center of the gameplay loop. It doesn't need to abandon it; it just needs to put it into better context, is all.

Also, try a first-person perspective instead. Too many 3rd-person games with nothing to offer but an avatar taking precious screen space. At least make it an actual option and not that janky-ass mess the second game pretended to have.

Venoxn4g8h ago

Love both games, hope that we will get third game

PS5/Pro/Switch 2 version of RDR2 seems most likely. I’d love a RDR3 but that seems years away

Cacabunga19h ago

Id be happy for just a 60fps patch

OmegaSoldati18h ago(Edited 18h ago)

Agreed, but at the same time RD2 came out in 2018. Could it be a remake of Red Dead 1?

Spoiler:

Marston died in the end of Red Dead and Red Dead 2 is set before that. Im curious now. What news could it be?

mkis00710h ago

I'm pretty sure the next game will be another prequel as the story really has no where to go as far as being a western after red dead redemption. The next game will end with the ferry boat incident.

Profchaos20h ago(Edited 20h ago)

Their contracts are iron clas if they leak anything legit they are threatened with immense legal action.

My hopes for what this is are minimal its probably a meet and greet with the cast

I dont see why they would be involved in a upgraded version of rdr2 when the dialogue hasn't changed

thorstein16h ago

He seems to have been cleared to do this as he purposely picked up the game, streamed it, and made the announcement.

XBLA Classic 'A World of Keflings' Is Coming to Steam, and There's a Demo

"Back in the innocent days of 2010, A World of Keflings was a fairly popular successor to A Kingdom for Keflings. I even wrote about it a few times in 2012! But the world of humans moved on, and NinjaBee's city-building/adventure game was last seen on the ill-fated Wii U in 2014. Fast-forward to the dark year of 2025, and not only is A World of Keflings coming to Steam, but there's already a playable demo! Perhaps the cheerful, no pressure gameplay that the Keflings bring is just what we need nowadays," says Co-Optimus.
