Video-gaming has changed (evolved?) drastically in recent years and with the rise of casual social low-attention low-commitment games and all. Some us like it, some of us don’t.
So here’s a list of the things us old-timers hate about the current gen games.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
Pope hides behind 6inch bullet proof glass. He's not afraid of death, honest.
Kinect has to be #1 on every hardcore gamers list for things we hate.
I hate the fact that Keyboard and mouse isnt supported on console games. I tried playing the Dead space 3 demo yesterday on my PS3 and gave up when it came to the monster that you need to shoot its limbs because the aim controls are very imprecise. I dont care if its only single player games get keyboard and mouse support then the multiplayer part doesnt have keyboard and mouse support. I just cant play shooting games with a controller.
1- yep
2- yep
3- yep
4 - not particularly
5- nope

One thing i hate about this gen is idiots who pretend they're journalists.
