Back in 2007, the online gaming world was being dominated by the Halo series. Halo 3 was tearing up the Xbox Live charts with ease. It seemed as if nothing could dethrone the king of Xbox Live. Then, Call of Duty reinvented itself and took Xbox Live, Playstation Network, and the world by storm with the release of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and so it began.
Celebrate Final Fantasy IX's 25th anniversary with the latest merchandise, including figurines of Zidane and Vivi, and a range of t-shirts.
The Mass Effect series is all about freedom and making the right choices for a given playthrough, but there are still some guidelines worth following.
The voice actors for Arthur Morgan and Charles Smith have vaguely confirmed a claim by Rob Wiethoff (voice of John Marston) that big news related to the Red Dead franchise will be coming "before Friday."
I hope it's a remake of the 1st game. But it's probably just the PS5 version of Red Dead Redemption 2
I hope a PS5 upgrade launches on the same day as announcement & it costs no more than $10. I already bought the Ultimate Edition once, they got good money from me.
I stopped playing completely 2 years ago until they did 60fps. I really didn't expect it would take this long & I didn't want to start completely over on PC.
My wish is that its optimized for current gen machines, with some sort of story expansion. Undead nightmare 2! My 2nd wish is that it just shadow drops on the day of the announcement!.
Then again - I do play the Wii versions, and the Wiimote's "IR pointer" makes for a better overall experience. Multiplayer is done right, and the "XP reward system", adds to its replay value.
If Activision ever decide to make the online portion of future COD titles subscription-based, then I will no long be purchasing their product.
What the COD games do well is the 'one more go' aspect of them.
The XP and unlockables give a huge incentive to continue playing. Factor in the number of people that play and just how addictive it is (and the feeling that you need to one up your friends etc) and it's a recipe for success.
People spend a lot of time hating on the games for various reasons but the simple truth is that they are incredibly fun too...
easy to pick up and play
kid population increase by 90%
I suppose its the ease of play that appeals to people most not to mentioh the massive brand recognition.
