Not so sure I like this game. I really am on the fence. I picked this and DMC4 up at the same time, and yes I've put in more hours on Burnout, but I'm still on the fence.
The good, well the game is just flat out gorgeous. The crashes are actually cringe inducing. The sensation of speed is like nothing I've experienced before. You know a game does it right when you slow down not because you feel out of control but because you get a little nervous going that fast. The online system is amazing. Unfortunately, of my 60 some odd friends only 4 have the game. I have to do some work now to track down people that own the game and add them as a buddy.
So if it's all that why am I complaining? Well I was in a race and it's neck and neck. I'm racing from one corner of the world to another. While in a race I usually have to hit select at least 2x just to get directions to where I'm going. You can't really follow the crowd because they usually take themselves out and why would you want too? I want to eventually know these routes like the back of my hand. So anyway, I'm a race and I'm in the lead and then I take a round turn at the last second and that's it. Race is over. I lost. Not only that, but I can't get back in that race unless I drive back to the starting point (which I probably don't even remember).
WTH? And where is my crash mode?
Despite all these complaints, I'm all set to pop in Burnout right now and get some racing in. I'll come back with a review later when I'm a bit deeper in the game.
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.
