Not really, this is all my opinion of course just like your above statement is an opinion. Nothing wrong with people wanting to get value out of the 60 bucks they spend on a game. You listed God of War as an example before, I'd never pay 60 bucks for a game like that, short story and that's really all you get out of that game, a story. I'll gladly wait for it to drop in price (20 bucks) before I ever consider buying it, which I'm glad I didn't buy any GoW games because I can get every GoW game  for 20 bucks now on a single disc (except Ascension). I'm not saying short games aren't fun I buy Halo and Gears games at full price but that's because they have MP I can go to and play for hundreds of hours making them easily worth the money I spend on them.

Ironically, Ascension is the only God Of War game with a multiplayer mode to increase its longevity.

Anyways, what you just said is exactly what's wrong with gamers today. They only buy a game if its really long, or has multiplayer, or both. A game seems to be worthy of a purchase for the content it has, not for the quality of that content. With this kind of a mindset among gamers you'll soon only see RPG's, open-world games, multiplayer-oriented shooters and sim racing games on PS/Xbox systems. I think you might be fine with that, but I certainly wouldn't. Might not even bother with gaming then.

Do you go out to watch movies? The tickets for a movie usually cost around ten dollars, don't they? Well, they are only about 2 hours long. So 60 dollars should be fine for a 12 hour game or longer. Think about it.


To me a game that has no longevity is like paying for a movie that will lasts 30min... = no way! These games should sell for way less if they have half the content found on other games that's all. 

Lots of devs care only about telling a good story through awesome graphics for a short gameplay session... well that's great but they should make movies instead.

I want a well elaborated answer if possible on this topic:

Is Xbox platform to you, all about dude bros and online shooters? Is that how you view Xbox?

I don't see it that way; however, far too many people online see it that way.

I want to come to a conclusion if I'm on a minority side here or there are a lot of people that don't really know what Xbox consoles offer in depth.


To me Xbox is home of the western RPGs, shooters, racing games and multiplayer experiences be it online or with the family. I don't care what fans of other consoles say about Xbox or Kinect or Xbox Live to me MS is good to gather people around no matter who you are. I think there are two categories MS didn't cared much about and each of these two are strong on the competition. One is cute and fun platformers with tons of colors a la Nintendo games. The other is the single player story driven offline gritty realistic kinda game mostly found on Playstation. I could live without the two as I care more about coop multiplayer experiences than single player. I also like western RPGs far more than the Japanese ones because of customization and stories are less over the top. To me Xbox more for those who are into communites that like multiplayers, customizations, competitive gaming and are more open to new features like Kinect and online on consoles than Playstation which imo is more for the solo player (It's all my opinion) that looks for short visualy impressive experiences and Japanese games.

Hahaha like this movie, glad I'm not the only one thinking this way about cinematic heavy short games.

And on top of it, most of their cinematic games suck on the gameplay department.
That's why I chose Xbox over other consoles, due to the fact that MS/Xbox focus so much on gameplay elements of their games.

Is ethomaz an Activision employee or something?



Goatseye on 12 October 2014

Dudes and dudettes. I think Fable Legends is going to be a nice addition to X1 portfolio.

It looks like they got their gameplay inspiration from Gears of War. That 3rd person camera control is also on spot.

I don't know much about it's development but if they add depth to the single player story, this will be a game to get in 2015.

I would love to play this game with the Empire Community and chat like we do here.

Here is a gameplay video I think from TGS/China Joy:

People love Activision now. It's IP is doing better not on Xbox.
