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.

Edited by Mitochondrion: 4/8/2013 6:29:03 PMMy friend is adamant that Halo 4 is good, but no. I wanna get Judgement but naturally people piss all over that because it is the fourth one. I don't know anything about Fable because I have never tried though I heard it was good, but clearly people thought that Fable III was a shit. Now obviously everything else in their stash is going to uber-fail, big time. And Kinect games will only work with little kids and young girls and literally no one else. Hardcore tryhards are going to be getting nothing from those sorts of games. But it'll probably still be better than WiiU and cheaper than PS4, so there's that. I believe that Destiny is currently getting set-up to be the biggest game of the next console-generation so far as all the other games are getting set-up for the current consoles except maybe Modern Warfare 4 which no one will like anyway. But you can get that on PS4, so I don't know. Still gotta be better than a gaming PC, that's for sure. I will probably just buy all three next-gen consoles over a period of time, starting with the WiiU and then whichever one's out next and then the last one (I think that's 720, then PS4, but I don't know...).
