In my last blog post I talked about being new to the true PC gaming scene and what difficulties I had faced. So far I have bought a couple of new games to PC one of them being Bioshock 2. This games installation was a complete disaster. When I first installed it the release date checking program didn't work and I had to do it manually. I finally got to play the game and it was fun and awesome until I pressed ESC and all went to hell. The game crashed and wouldn't start anymore. I installed it again two times but no, it wouldn't work. So I went to the source of all knowledge (and porn). The internet. It became clear there had been a lot of problems during the launch and it seemed that the game didn't work properly with Windows Live and that you had to delete the saved data containing the Windows Live information. So I did this and installed the game once again and now it worked. This is weird as I signed into the Windows Live again but now it worked without an apparent reason. So not exactly a good experience.
Second thing I want to voice aloud is the Mass Effect 2 on PS3. As I have never played the first one but I have played the second one now trough twice. I was never confused about the characters or the story because it isn't that much linked to the first one. I just took the story as any game with amnesia even though Shepard remembered everything but it made sense to think the story this way. So I see no problem with that only Mass Effect 2 is being made for the PS3.
Third thing is the PSN+ subscription. I bought it the day it was possible and got my digital LBP copy and I was truly happy. Now there has been many people saying the PSN+ isn't worth it but I disagree. There has been two awesome PS games everyone should play this far. Oddworld Abe's Oddysee and MediEvil. Both awesome and fun games. Now I realize that they are only two games but there is more. If you like good humor then the Sam & Max episodes are for you. All five episodes of Devil's playhouse are free. So far I have gotten content I actually play worth about 60 euros. that is as much as I payed for the year subscription and it has been only three months. So I'm really looking forward to see what next months content will be.
Now I realize I have talked more about PS3 than PC but there hasn't been a lot going on with PC game releases. Waiting for Two Worlds II to come out and few other titles. Next time my journey trough ME2, UC2 and AC2 as I'm about to platinium UC2 and AC2. I will think about if I'm going to write that post or will I just continue with my PC gaming journey.
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
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
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.
What you talking about, more like a little PC talk. PC gaming has it own awards it can be a different animal to console gaming, if your a console kid you migt not understand, then again if you started console gaming before PC gaming you might no get the point .PC gaming can be a special at times with different systems set ups etc, not for the novice or causual but it has so maney things going for it if you have a little patience and time. Consoles are easier plug and play have no problems with what Graphic card / sound card /processor and memory you have the Game will run fine but agian the PC is different. Cut things short you maybe better sticking to console gaming and leave PC gaming to those that are eh! well know what the PC is for each to their own and all that. : )
