100%ing a game is no easy feat. Here is why CoG stopped 100%ing most games and how it changed the way we played.
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.
All available May 5.
Its like the final episode of the Sapranos. You gonna go to make a comment and when you click add th-
I think the only game here for me is Nine Sols. Was always interested in that game.
Good month for me, I wanted that particular footy game and thought it might be due. Anyway who cares, shame about the site I'll miss the comment sections. All the best everyone.
i tend to play games that i can Platinum and not play games that woudld take a long time to platinum..... perhaps i’d play a lot more interesting games if i just played them and ‘collected’ whatever trophies i could during the time.
When you get older it stops
I absolutely love collecting and trying to be a Completionist. I never let it ruin my fun Tho.
Sometimes I'll pre-screen a games' achievements or Trophies before starting a game and decide right then and there if it'll be a title where I "GO FOR 100%" Or one where I just try to enjoy the ride.
Sometimes the overwhelming ones become just a joyride if I feel it will take months to get the Achievement or Trophy. Etc..
Others, it ends up depending on if it seems like things I'll get it thru normal gameplay or if it will take too much dedication or time wasted etc.
However, sometimes I just come upon a game that does a good job of naturally making me crave the 100%. And to me, those are some of the best designed games/ achievements etc.. Ones where the challenge feels natural, fair, and rewarding, but the game stays fun throughout trying to Earn them all.
As soon as a game becomes a chore it's time to take a break from it, there's nothing wrong with aiming to 100% something but you'll enjoy it a lot more if you don't try to do it all in one go.
The best thing about leaving Xbox360 behind for the PS4/Steam was getting rid of my 60k achievement score. Now I just pick up a game and play it for fun instead of studying how to not miss achievements before I play and then playing an extremely regimented way.
