Although Microsoft owns Minecraft, the mega-hit block-builder earns much more revenue on competing platforms like the Switch and PlayStation than on Xbox.
YouTuber Potomy has revealed new details about the new Bloodborne mod and that it is now in a playable state for Minecraft.
Given the medium's wild diversity, this primer of the essential video games everyone should try is a good place to start.
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.
Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1
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.
I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.
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?
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.
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.
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 is introducing add-ons to the marketplace. The add-ons can now be added to many existing and new worlds.
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.”
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.
This should come as no surprise to anyone, given how xbox sells compared to PlayStation or Switch.
It also highlights why it's dumb to go full exclusive on their IPs. It would make more sense to attempt to draw gamers to their floundering platform with timed exclusivity and mop up the sales on other platforms 6 months to a year later.
In the unlikely event this changes the xbox install base forecast, they could then go full exclusive at a time when it was less impactful on their profits and try to maintain the snowball effect they'd created. But that is a highly unlikely scenario, so better to just make money on other platforms after timed exclusivity, because that's where the gamers are and therefore where the money is.
Do the math here, there’s more people with a PlayStation and Switch than an Xbox and even then it’s already established in court that a majority of Xbox owners play just MP focused competitive shooters… apparently.
Minecraft player numbers are 2X on PlayStation versus Xbox and 4X on Switch versus Xbox. Another fact brought up in the FTC hearing was that 1/2 of PS5 households also owned a Switch. Point is, a lot of kids play Minecraft and those kids don’t have the power to choose Xbox. Their parents will buy them a Switch. So what choice does Microsoft have except to sell Minecraft where it can?
Everything makes more money on PS and Nintendo. 1. install bases are way bigger.
2. we aren’t conditioned to be entitled to “free” games and understand that you get what you pay for.
Microsoft has set themselves up for some major issues with their customers and their business model.
They will do a combination of investing less in big AAA games, flood a lot of their games with MT’s and Battle passes etc like Activision-Blizzard does now (like Halo) and raise the price of Game-Pass to make up for all of the losses they are taking for years now.
They aren’t going to spend 76 billion and give it away for free.
They want to make all that back and then some and Xbox customers are the only ones who will be paying for it
They will dangle a carrot here and there of bigger games but they will get their money back and it will show over time especially if their subs stagnate like they have been.
I guess , maybe because on Xbox Minecraft is on Gamepass and they give away a lot of for free .. Whereas on other consoles you per much have to pay to even access the game.
