A NintendoEnthusiast editor talks about how he fares better during game droughts these days. It's all about understanding yourself.

2014 is a very heavy year for games coming out. This is true for all systems. 2015 is already looking to be just as densely packed with games.

My wallet, growing backlog, and I are all hoping 2016 is a complete gaming drought.

user65409484268d ago

Droughts aren't the end of the world. I can find tons of other things to do in the world. If still determined to play something "new", then get PS Plus, since it gives away tons of free games (yeah the games are old but most of those in my backlog are games I never played/finished before).

hkgamer4268d ago

its funny how games kind of lose the spotlight once they are out. ps+ is ideal for me since i am able to play games i have missed out. everyone else on the internet seems to go through every single new game asap and then forget about it.

hkgamer4268d ago

i rather have them spaced out throughthe year, but i guess publishers just hate that summer period.

game droughts doesnt affect me too much though since i dont really like every game that comes out. i end up playing my old ff games 99% of the time anyway.

Right? I wish Dragon Age or Far Cry was in the summer

I haven't had a games drought for at least 3 years Prob around the time the 3DS originally launched ever since then I'll play one game properly on launch and then jump back on whatever else I was playing and try to finish it all off in the mean time those 3-6 months if not longer after a system launches and there's a supposed games drought I don't even notice it because I just get on the backlog give it a couple of months and if it's my ps4 ive notnally got a few more free games and I will go get black flag and infamous at some point got Killzone which I've barely played and metal gear and last of us as I never got round to it first time around, think I'll set it all back up when I get gta5 at chrimbo again, but I like leaving some great games til towards the end ie I'm currently retiring my xbox 360 in the last 3 months I've finished off half life 2 on the Orange box and all its DLC, some team fortress, batman arkham city red dead and its DLC bayonetta and its been fantastic fun go out with a bang, but I've got a bit side tracked as I've started up skyward sword tho, 30+ hours in the so getting there, good job as I've also started luigis mansion and Gravity rush, games drought no chance, won't be buying many games at all this Christmas 6 I believe bayo2 gta5 ps4 smash 3DS and wii u hopefully plus limited edition versions of the 2 pokemon remakes anything else I can wait for and get on the cheap in the coming weeks months, got enough on that anything else other than the others above just wouldn't get played anyway so I'll just hold it out and get on the bargain hunter, cheaper games mean more games, why pay £40 unless it's on your top 5 or so say when if you can wait literally no more than 2-3 weeks sometimes and get it for barely £25-30, sure GTA or a game of that quality like smash bros will never drop in price that severly if at all but yeah majority of games do so just hold it out for an extra week or so save yourself a chunk of cash ;)

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.

Jingsing33d ago

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.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit33d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing33d ago

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.

Tanktopmaster9233d ago

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
