Microsoft Has Single Handedly Destroyed Its Two Action Franchises
[url=http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/gears-of-war-judgment]Compare Judgment's reception by the fans[/url] to [url=http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/gears-of-war-3]Gears of War 3's.[/url]
We already know what has become of Halo.
It's also ironic that two franchises were destroyed by decisions in the multiplayer side of things. Both Judgment and Halo 4 stray too far away from the excellent formula of their predecessors in favor of dumbed down and "[b]accessible gameplay[/b]".
Both communities are continuing to fall apart. With the dawn of the 720/NextBox, what will Microsoft have at the table beside their meaty list of Kinect titles?
Halo?
Gears of War?
Don't count on it. Considering the latest installments of these franchises have essentially sent them on a path into darkness.
How about Forza?
Quality, but it just doesn't have a large enough community on the Xbox platform to be a system seller.
Fable? Lol no.
I ask again, what's Microsoft going to do? How will they "win next gen"?
My Guess: They won't.

2 RepliesForza was an epic success for the entire duration of the 360 (as well as PGR3 in the beginning and most likely PGR5 in the beginning of 720) and this won't end when the 720 begins lol. What Forza has accomplished compared to Gran Turismo is truly amazing and is something even the most dedicated Playstation fanboys can appreciate. Onto Halo the community is not falling apart at all. What you don't understand is that Halo is the Xbox's flagship game and with the popularity [b](and cash)[/b] that comes with it also comes heavy scrutiny by fans. Every element of single player and multiplayer will be under a huge magnifying class and ignorant gamers and forum goers alike will believe those elements are bad because they don't go along with what they're traditionally use to. CoD fanboys who are use to CoD's online population look at halo 4's population and think Halo 4 is in turn a crappier game (which then leads into arguments over opinions), but in reality Halo 4 consistently ranks in the top 5 xbox 360 games by [url=http://majornelson.com/?s=LIVE+activity]activity.[/url] This is def one of the more stupid posts I've seen on B.net. With a Halo trilogy confirmed and halo 5 and 6 imminent, as well as the enormous amount of money Halo makes for Microsoft, you're really calling for it to not be in the 720.
