He's not "babbling" about anything. He is simply referring to the gradual diminishment of "exclusives" in the games industry. As more people throw their hat into the ring, and GAAS and other features continue to bloom, more developers and publishers are looking at casting as wide a net as possible, not relegating itself to any one particular platform. There are exceptions, of course, but you need only look at how fierce the "console wars" were in the past, wi...

Because everyone on N4G is insanely sensitive and overly defensive of anything resembling defamation of unearned praise.
judging by your earlier comments, I'm not surprised.
I have a PS4, and this game, just something about this game, doesn't sit well with me. I rented it at a RedBox (perhaps one of the absolute best reasons to own a console is that used/rentals is still an option) and it pains me to say that while the game isn't horrendous by any stretch of the imagination, it leaves so much to be desired.
Visually, it's quite impressive, the hordes look ...
Gamestop, gamestop, gamestop....
You should of been doing this Day 1.
It's not like other companies weren't doing this before.
Hell, my favorite game store of the day was EB Games, and their trade in values was exponentially better than Gamestop. Gamestop was known as the store that you could literally give away your entire game collection to get 100 bucks off a new console.
Also, this line, "Trades subject to manager approval"...
Well, I don't what else "content" could mean. Gamers buy a gaming console for games. I know Microsoft wanted to position the Xbox One has a multimedia hub (the ability to connect it to a cable box to get tv on it and so on) but that simply isn't what most are clamoring for.
I bought a PS2 because, at the time, it was marginally more expensive than a half-decent DVD player, so I felt like it only made sense. Microsoft is pushing all of it's streaming s...
That wouldn't be good for anyone.
Competition is good for everyone.
Though I am a PlayStation convert this gen, I rode hard for Microsoft last gen and was a massive fan of their 360 (along with having a PS3 for Uncharted and God of War and many others....I'm not crazy to miss out on those)
so Microsoft was correct in making that assumption that three big titles can carry them.
When Halo was being made by Bungie, and Gears was being made by Epic, They were unstoppable.
But that was also back when they had Xbox Live Arc...
There is healthy skepticism to be had. For me, It's a tad more nuanced than just my internet in overpopulated Los Angeles being atrocious. It has more to do with the fact that while I like the prospect of being able to play any game anywhere, I am terrified by the implications and the subsequent precedent it will set for developers/publishers to push GAAS like functionality down everyone's throats.
I don't like this recurring idea that I don't even have acc...
"We here at Dude Bro Studios make Dude Bro Shooters, Dude Bro Racers, and Dude Bro (Timed Exclusive) Shooters."
I believe Stadia sets a terrifying presedecent. Phil Harrison stating that the pricing of the game can vary, with options to pay by the hour and so on and so forth.
This will further incentivize companies to mold their titles into sink sink collect-a-thons with lootboxes, DLC season passes, and piecemeal narrative offerings.
It always scares me when I see pure streaming of anything, especially without having any option to download the content.

Destiny. But it's also because I was expecting a totally different game.
without a doubt.

"The gameplay is the best stealth gameplay out there."
Can you explain this to me? I feel like Splinter Cell remains the best at stealth gameplay. Why do people feel like, based purely on mechanics alone, that MGS is the more "complete" stealth experience?
They are burning all of Kojima's clothes and removing all photos of him on their social media while Taylor Swift plays softly in the background.
I feel like I am pretty good at "reading between the lines" and trying to ascertain the *intent* of a comment based on contextual clues. I cannot stand when someone puts "/s" at the end of their comment, because it's just about as smooth and subtle as Borat screaming, "...NOT!" at the end of a joke.
But while I figured you were just adding a statistic to zsquaresoff's comment, I did not think you understood the sarcasm, for only one re...
that was his point. He was being sarcastic.
that makes zero sense.
Wait until you get online and google it.
I wonder if it has Superman on it...
"I know Jerry has kids, a wife, and other obligations and can't be here tonight, Mr. Boss, but I, on the other hand, will be here every night, at your beck and call, with grapes and foot massages at the top of every hour until our bestest game gets finished."
