If you had to live in a gameworld you can think of a long list of places. From the lush regions of Tamriel (Oblivion)to Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball.
But which places would you never want to live? I give my own examples, please include your own!
3. Vice City. (Game: Grand Theft Auto Vice City) Why?: Well, this may actually seem like a nice place for some. The beaches are beautiful, the weather is perfect, the women are hot. But you need to put yourself into the situation. For starters you're treated by drug dealers the moment you land, the people in the streets are crazy (really, you can't walk past them without them shouting at you), most of them weilding some sort of weapon. The government is totally corrupt, the richest people are sleezy and the gang problem is worse than any other location. But the women! This is the 80s buddy! They've probably contracted some sort of flavoursome disease.
2. Zanarkand Ruins. (Game: Final Fantasy X) Why?: Again, this is at first glance a pretty place to live. It also appears peaceful, but it isn't. The homes are completely destroyed, people left without family or a way of life. The spirits that lie need a summoner to take them away, and it's at constant threat from Sin. Around the area there are constant attacks from viscous creatures, and unless you can carry 1 ton of metal or can kick a ball really hard you're not likely to live for very long.
1. California. (Game: Fallout) Why?: In much the same way Vice City is lead by complete scum, so is Fallout. The inhabitants of the world are completely hostile, and when you find a good place to stay there are threats by mutated creatures. Not to mention the fact there is little to no clean water. The food consists of rats and that's going to give you raditation poisoning. Even if you can survive it's not going to be a pleasant stay.
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.
