In This current generation we have a good amount of triple A games released? Where most of those games were received well by reviewers, the gaming fan base seems to be unsatisfied with a majority of them. From Halo 3, GTA4, Uncharted, and to most recently KZ2 and RE5 games run to blogs and forums to complain about every little thing that is wrong. Some is “FANBOY HATE” we all know that others are less than skilled gamers then there are the ones who HATE good games.
Halo 3 was mostly bashed by SONY Fanboys for no reason when in reality the HALO series made FPS as popular on consoles as it is today. GTA4 complaints ranged from too boring, too realistic, bad driving, just to name a few. Uncharted isn’t even spoke of as one of the greatest games this generation, let alone being spoke of at all. KZ2 need I even list the KZ2 complaints? Living up to the long lived media title of “HALO KILLER” scares people. Finally RE5, it seems RE5 problems go from too short (which I agree with) to no run and gun or bad controls and not enough horror.
All of those opinions are fine if you choose to think that……but, when good games are bashed and mediocre games are praised that’s when I lose my marbles. RE5 is shorter than your average RE game chalk that up to it being co-op RE series is meant to be a single player experience. CO-OP in RE5 equals more survival less horror. Not only that most gamers that complain about RE5 are fans of generic survival horror game Dead Space. The same hold true for the other game previously named ; GTA4 & Saints Row 1 & 2 … Halo 3 or KZ2 & Left 4 Dead ( true meaning of lackluster ) Uncharted & Tomb Raider.
What Happened to playing the best product? Mediocrity over Greatness? Is this a result of the Casual Gamer Boom? Or Have we as a Gaming Community transformed into a bunch of whiney nitpicking crybabies?
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.
