I read an article on an actual news website that claimed MS bought Activision Blizzard as to ready itsel for the Metaverse. They've got the infrastructure, they've got the productivity tools, they just need entertainment content to keep people busy.
Seems to make some sense, but boy do I already hate the word and concept of 'a metaverse'.
I thought they were just going to do an online event again? Or did they finally realize they'd have absolutely nothing to show and have lost nearly all relevance?
according to the reporter who broke it, the planning is a genuine mess and even digital would be very difficult for them to pull off right now. Again it's all speculation, but it's not exactly going out on the limb to say it either.

according to bloomberg, Facebook was in talks to by Activision so that would completely make sense.
I'm with you though, I don't like anything about metaverse. Particularly that Facebook is behind it.
I think the most charitable way to interpret the Metaverse is that it's a way for Facebook to rebrand after their reputation took a hit without making it look like that's what they're doing.
I will say that it seems like I made a wise choice picking up a Series S back in July. The Game Pass continues to be an incredible value which could only be better in the future. I havent turned on the PS4 since January. I've only played the Switch for a few hours when Metroid Dread released but dropped that too. I've been dudebro gaming for months only without the Dew.

I think it's just as much about rebranding themselves to the next generation of adults. The younger Gen Z and Gen Alpha do not give a rat's ass about Facebook. To them it's something their parents use and not only do they not use it, but they actively avoid it.
If Facebook can't figure out how to get that audience, in 10 years it's just going to be a social media tool for old fuckers in their 40's. And to some extent, it kind of is now.
Crysis 3 - might be the best one. Great blend of open and confined environments. More flexible play style. Personally 2 will still be my favourite as there's constant action and the bow in 3 makes it too easy in parts.
Shakedown Hawaii - fun arcade gta romp. Could be better with car races, a better story.
Enigmatis 3 - a slightly damp ending - if that is its ending- it was building lore and intrigue and even the older first game had crazy stuff happening. This is too grounded.
And I can't get past the second floor now. All sorts of hidden traps, spiked floors, rooms too small to dodge roll in.
Whole bosses put in as mini bosses. Enemies shooting me from outside of sight.
Weak special weapons. Bouncing bullets...

Yeah I also heard that whole metaverse thing as well and it does make sense. I also dislike that term.

Yep, that's where I'm at.

Doritos?
I eat those, just no sodas anymore.

I thought it was a social media tool for people in their 50s and older!

I thought Crysis 2 and 3 were pretty good games as well myself.
Feels like a slow slog. The narrator is as annoying as ever. Movement feels too slow.
You turn off the narrator; the option is available on thePC version anyway
Then it's what? Just silence?Not fond of the game overall. It was cool at first.
Enter the Gungeon on the other hand is ball busting me, in a good way. If you like action games and a firm but fair challenge.
I can't even count the number of times I've died, then just one more run...
No. Just no annoying narrator.
