At least do something that blends well with the environments. The clime-able rocks in MGS5 were highlighted on the map, but the distinguishing physical factor was a large, natural looking vertical crack showing what can be gripped. Even GoW: Ascension (or was it one of the PS3 Uncharted’s) had bird shit on the ledges that could be gripped/climbed.
And yet some people complain about those too. Ascension actually got complaints from some people from taking too much from Uncharted when it involved the climbing and some platforming. I disagree with the negative nancies. EviI West highlights where to go next with golden-white hilight/flashes on hooks, chains, and hand rails most of the time. No one cried about that, other than possibly biatch GGMan.
Even before that, There were people complaining about it in God of War 4. Alan Wake, did the yellow paint and highlight thing before everybody else caught on to it. Mirrors Edge too, but at least it has other color highlights. I'm not complaining either way. DmC 2013 used blue and red on where to go next. No one complained about that sign posting aside from the hardcore original DMC fans.
I don't remember that, but it's been a *long* time since I played Smite, possibly long enough that it predates that.
I think Smite always had the mastery numbers, at least I always remember them on the loading screen under the character portrait. But, I have been playing it so long I might just have forgotten.
I'm fairly certain I got that game somehow, maybe with sins of a solar empire?
My hot take: all MOBAs are terrible.
Nowaday its really nowhere near as bad as it used to be.
Microsoft makes a lot of their money off the sale of Microsoft office, so that would be a big no. They have absolutely no incentive to add $100 of additional value to the xbox. I also can't imagine many people actually using the xbox for any of that. Most people don't even know that you can hook up a keyboard and mouse to it.
...Why? There's literally no reason for that, even if it were possible/feasible. Functionally, the Office suite would be a nightmare to handle with a controller, and even if you were to hook up a keyboard and mouse like @Dirty Hipsters suggests, what they hell would you need the suite for on a gaming console? Outside of "I'm on a desert island, and all I have is my Xbox, Wi-Fi, and the need to tidy up my resume or do my taxes," there'd be absolutely no situation in which the convenience of Office on the Xbox would outweigh the already benefit of having it on your PC/laptop where it belongs.
Because it's got better specs than this and is around the same size:
No, I think we're on to something. The only thing that Microsoft needs to do is invent another controller with more buttons. Say instead of simply having an A, B, X, and Y they make a controller that has one button for every letter of the alphabet, 0-9, and a few common symbols. This could be what it takes to get Microsoft known as revolutionary innovators like Nintendo!
They already have the Kinect. Imagine dragging around numbers in an excel spreadsheet with your hands. Think about how immersive that would be. Like Minority Report meets Office Space.
That’s a thin client, they don’t usually run their OS locally but stream it essentially from a data centre as a virtual machine; they’re used in high security environments because it means you can’t store data locally at all so if they get stolen no one cares. And those specs are more than enough with a decent local computing cluster to run normal business apps. Swing and a miss.
