We all remember the days spent trying to get the high score on various arcade games. Dropping coins into the machines as if they were nothing. Then there were the days of Mario and Zelda, Sonic, Samus, ect. Those days where you had an adventure and your goal was to save the princess or save the galaxy from evil. Those days are gone and have come come into a community that thrives on Xbox Live. So it begs the question: Which is more important... single player or Multiplayer$0$0$0$0single player... it's what gets us interested in the game. What battle are we in? Who the hell am I playing as? All these are answered in there. Now I am a big fan of shooters. Shooters have a rep of having terrible stories. Well.. that can be seen to be true in many eyes but in mine: games such as Halo, Resistance and the recent Gears 2 have all had amazing stories. They were epic and coop keeps you to coming back for more so you can have those moments with friends. But wait...did I say coop? Isnt that multiplayer? Yes. and I will get into that soon.$0$0$0$0$0Multiplayer. Most people now of days may only play this. Games such as Warhawk, unreal tournament, and others are such games that is ONLY multiplayer. Is this a smart move or a dumb one? Multiplayer is the thing that keeps games being played over and over again. Halo 2, for example, is still being played over 4 years since it was launched. $0$0$0$0$0Ok.. so I dont feel like writing as much as I thought but let me answer this to you. I love the single player... if a game deosnt have some sort of it, I feel is shouldnt be in the stores being sold. But an amazing game like Bioshock that has no Multiplayer is perfectly fine. If a game isnt made to be played well with others, that cant be forced upon it. Coop is a great thing. I feel it is the best aspect because it takes the single player and allows you to enjoy the story with. I feel that this is the only aspect of multiplayer that SHOULD always be tried to be implemented into a game. Devs.. take note: Gamers LOVE coop and we love split-screen$0$0$0$0$0So in my eyes, both are important. They are very important but I am not gonna sit her and say both need to be in a game. It isnt necessary. Games are still made on the single player. People will disagree and I say, "go ahead." But I dare say try to defend yourself. $0
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.
