The original Mass Effect trilogy is one of my favourite game series of all time, and a lot of what I loved about those games just didn't seem to be present in Bioware's ambitiously sprawling open world sequel.
Outriders developer People Can Fly's next game has been canceled after its publishing agreement with Take-Two Interactive fell through.
"the capital group of PCF Group S.A."
If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.
Outriders was crap. They slapped that game together and threw in a loot system to get players' attention. This game was absolutely jank and the always online nonsense made it stutter like crazy. People Can't Optimize.
The new Escape from Tarkov Unheard Edition has the community in an outrage after promising exclusive access to the new PvE mode for $250 USD.
$250? Do they not know all the other games that already exist or will be made in the future that can do similar?
This is for the hardcore people that have 2500 h in the game. They basically play that one game the whole year.
Oh and those same people are mad as hell at this... what a way to reward fans of your game and annihilate newcomers.
Microsoft just posted the third quarter of its 2024 fiscal financial results. The software maker made $61.9 billion in revenue and a net income of $21.9 billion during Q3. Revenue is up 17 percent, and net income has increased by 20 percent.
Xbox content + services up 62% while hardware down 31%... seems about right with the way they tout you don't need the hardware to play. People can play on their phones or smart tv or other means. I don't hardly play on my consoles directly since getting devices like the logitech g-cloud and ps portal. Which is to also say I have been playing more digital than physical because of these devices.
Too expensive hardware when others offer the same or more for less? Good work, Green Team.
"Despite some early successes for Xbox games on rival platforms, Xbox hardware is down by a massive 31 percent this quarter."
"Without Activision Blizzard, Microsoft’s overall gaming revenue would have actually declined this quarter."
"Xbox content and services would have only been up a single percent without Activision Blizzard..."
"It looks like next quarter is going to be a similar story for gaming at Microsoft, too."
That is crazy... so A/B/K is carrying the whole Xbox gaming.
Oh and Microsoft will be fine. Windows, Office and Cloud are growing with each pc purchase.
i think this argument in the headline is wrong on every conceivanle level.
Yeah whatever... so you say... but in any case you conveniently call it Andromeda, and not what the game's name really is "Mass Effect: Andromeda"
Even without the ME name it was a rushed disappointment. Even the devs dropped support for it. Glad I skipped it and stuck with the trilogy
But...its called..."Mass Effect: Andromeda".
These are truly the New Dark Ages. An era of "Alternative Facts", willful stupidity, and not admitting to mistakes as they are continually made that may very well mark humanity's height and end.
We're generally F**ked is what I'm saying.
No, it was pretty awful by any standards. I’m no stranger to liking bad games either. I played through bound by flame a couple times lol. It was a good budget game, I expected bad voice acting and such. I didn’t expect andromeda to be so awful and even pretending that it’s something else can’t change my mind. It’s bad even on a budget level.
