Yet, Xbox releases one, ONE, major title and these articles don’t exist for it.
Games inspire games. It happens. Halo, for example, wouldn’t have existed without games like 007 (N64) and Perfect Dark. Forza? Not without Gran Turismo. That’s the beauty of competition.
@Ultracombo: It’s so bad here yet you remain. Here’s an Ultrahint: that reflects something worse about you than N4G.
My thoughts exactly.
It shares the same Meta as Gears 5. Are those reviews a ‘mixed bag’ as well? I mean, we’re talking an 84 here (an incredibly good score).
I don’t get the meaningless hyperbole.
All consoles eventually stop selling...
As long as I game on PC, I can play Xbox titles. That’s very much what his point was and I’m sure you knew that already.
Agreed.
Another ‘thegamer’ article. I’m quickly learning to stay away from it.
Um...
- Final Fantasy IX and Dragon Quest VII released for the PS1 in 2000 (these were massive franchises on the system, mind you)
- Final Fantasy XII released in 2006
- TLOU released in 2013 (a franchise which now has FAR more selling power than FF)
The concern does not compute.
Nope.
Yeah, people tend to look at it so fondly because it was the last of SEGA. It was a decent console, but when paired with other consoles of the time, particularly the PS2, it didn’t look as hot.
Just a great idea that never quite reached its full potential.
You’re trying to ‘piss people off’ with a lie? Okay!
OT: Seems any time Xbox does something good, there’s an article with a hyperbolic statement attached to it. I say just be happy for another great Gears installment (which is typical of this series) and not try to make it more than it is.
You haven’t invalidated anything, I’m afraid. You said there were exclusive(s) but then go on to just mention Halo 5.
His point was that going forward, nothing will be exclusive to Xbox. There will always be a PC version. Anyone truly paying attention understood what he was saying.
But the ignorant one is you. I get that scrounging up ONE exclusive game makes this exciting, but you did nothing to kill his point.
Look up ignorance again.
He's right. For a game to be exclusive, it means only on one. When I can buy Microsoft published games on more than one platform, and one of those platforms is not a platform they own (no, PC is not their platform), then the game is not an exclusive.
Not 'batshit', just reality.
OT: I tend to look at the insomniac acquisition as par-for-course for Sony. They tend to pick up new developers just prior to a new gen. I don't see any 'extr...
Or you can choose not to support a barebones store that’s trying to shoehorn the industry. Many have chosen that. Making a stand against a business practice that one doesn’t like =! one a ‘crybaby’.
Because Insomniac wanted to remain independent. Obviously with this move, things have changed within the company and no other publisher was a better fit than SIE.
Well said. Last of Us Part II, in particular, will be the biggest exclusive to release on the system in 2020.
