Nintendo Wii owners are queueing up Super Paper Mario in record numbers as it tops the Gamefly Top 10 list. Close behind in the number 2 position is TMNT for the Xbox 360, while PlayStation 3 owners have The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion at the top of their lists...
Queue up the complete Gamefly Top 10 most requested list:
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.
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
They buy IPs not talent. That's why these buyouts never work and the IPs die. Right now it's too expensive to develop games - but I expect that to shift maybe as AI tools can make it easier. The best games have been indie games for awhile as big developers fuck their ips to death with "games as a service" -
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Hmmm.... I think I need to go and reserve this game.... I HAVEN'T TURNED ON MY WII IN OVER A MONTH... SINCE I BEAT ZELDA TWILIGHT PRINCESS...
After Zelda I started playing Red Steel then some Rayman Rabbits, still will play Wii Sports whenever, also SSX is a pretty fun game, playing some Tiger Woods is fun too.. though frustrating because I need to fix my slice in a game now too ><, Sonic is a good single and multiplier game, started up the Godfather a little bit ago, along with Blazing Angels...
Yeah I know I play many games around the same time. Silly part is I'm not even listing off all of the games I play on the Wii.
But really all my multiple games are put on hold because for some reason I didn't buy Oblivion for the 360.. don't know why maybe just thought I didn't want it, but I just got it for the PS3 and that is what I'm doing if I'm at home right now... yup nothing else just Elder Scrolls ^^
Back on topic yeah I've always been a fan of Paper Mario (N64 best, but it was the first so you have to expect it to be) So me getting this is a definite ^^
