Mass Effect Andromeda has recently received a very mixed reception since its early access on Ea and Origin Access. What is your opinion on the matter?
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
Today, Koei Tecmo announced its financial results for the full fiscal year 2025, related to the period between April 2025 and March 2026.
TNS - NCSoft CEO admitted that AI is rapidly becoming a core part of game development, but he added that it cannot replace what makes games fun.
To be fair, there are also human made games that release and lack any fun at all either.
Guild Wars 2 been playing for 14yrs, 1st beta. This is just one company I support, Arenanet and NCSoft, even though I torrent, there are a few PC companies I will buy from. "PlayStation’s Horizon MMO spin-off, Horizon Steel Frontiers." I feel this will be good, NCSoft is a good developer/publisher.
It’s a tool. Use it elevate things and get it done faster. I’m sorry but not every game made by humans is good. If this can help things, then I fully embrace it.
I will start my early access preview tonight. I will play the 10 hours and decide then if I purchase it or not
There is nothing "mixed" about it. Anyway "Mass Effect: Down's Syndromeda" is the best one I have heard so far.
I've played a good 3 hours now. And I was excited for the game cause the combat looked really good.
Now I've played it the game is soul less. The combat is still good but the dialogue and characters feel shallow an the animations are really bad. I won't be getting this game.
It made me return right back to Zelda which just makes a lot of games look bad in comparison.
I started seeing the complaints about animations and got really concerned...then I started playing the game. Sure the animations aren't the best, but what it lacks in that area...it more than makes up in others. There have already been a host of great games this year....and based on what I have played so far....Mass Effect looks to be my GOTY with or without better animations....it does everything else THAT well so far. More to the point....if everyone is harping on something THAT minor...it has to make you wonder. Is that the only thing wrong with the game? Why the effort to knock it down over something so trivial ?
Not fazed at all by the animation issues.
Its such a mammoth of a game.
I want to play the game not gawk at an eyebrow.
