Yep, 100 percent with you on this. Its not being spoiled to expect our new $500 boxes to have exclusive games made for them. Sony has done ok so far and Xbox has some good stuff coming next year, but holy crap has it been a pitiful couple of years for the "new generation". Maybe Nintendo's conservative approach isnt so bad after all?! I mean, at least the Switch is constantly getting new games that aren't also on the previous console.

Sign up for Microsoft rewards. It's not actually called Bing Rewards anymore so that's my bad. It's Microsoft Rewards now. You earn just by searching Bing and Microsoft edge, doing quests on Gamepass and the rewards app on Xbox. It's crazy how much I've earned over the last several years. Hundreds of dollars worth of free games and Gamepass time.

I've been there with Halo and Xbox since Day 1. Halo Infinite is a great game. It plays great, it looks great, it is a hell of a lot of fun. I'm not blind. I'm have nothing to gain by defending it. I just enjoyed the game. I thought it was a great campaign. I couldn't give 2 shits about the other modes like Forge or coop, or the politics of it all.

I had fun with the game and still do whenever i get the chance to play some MP. It&...

But the games not broken. It just doesn't have the modes that people seem to want for whatever reason. If the game sux to so many people,why they hell do yall want them to fix or add to it?! If you don't like Halo just go play something else and STFU already. Damn gamers are such a.aad bunch now they'll bitch that stuff isn't included in a game they dont even like?! Lol

The majority of those games you listed had no MP aspect and were fairly short games. Halo Infinite campaign was complete and pretty great actually. Some people didn't like the open world but I enjoyed it. That part of the game was pretty complete. What people are complaining about are the extra modes. Things like Forge and Co Op. Which if they didnt like the campaign, why complain about lack of co op? Clearly Halo was a huge undertaking and they focused on getting the campaign and MP out ...

Well he's not wrong about any of it. He's not whining either, i don't get this bs narrative about 343. Halo Infinite is a great game. People are complaining there's not enough content and all that, but what's there is pretty damn good. If the worst thing you can say about a game is that you want more of it then isn't that a win? Jesus gamers are so fickle now it's gross.

I've had it preloaded on my Series X for a week now. I used $60 with of Bing Rewards to get it free so I went with the Xbox version. Really can't wait for this!

Once they really start advertising the App availability in new TVs next year, combined with the release of the big games like Starfield and Redfall, along with ActiBlizz games like CoD, there is going to be a huge swell of new subs. They'll likely be bundling controllers and new 3 month subs with the TVs. There is a storm brewing.

Another thing, I can see a world where Netflix and MS are locked in an agreement. Gamepass could potentially be included with Netflix and vi...

Lol. It's 1000% the software that sells the switch. You're delusional to even think otherwise. Nintendo just has the games people both young and old want to play. I love my PS5, but i don't have one for each of my kids. We've got 4 switches in constant use in the house though. And i know many families in the same situation. I'll be playing Xenoblade while the wife is playing Bayonetta 2 and the kids are playing MK8 and Animal Crossing in the other room. That's why the ...

I agree. Square games just don't hit the same anymore. Nintendo is the king of Japan. It's funny because the only reason I ever gave PlayStation a chance was because of Final Fantasy 7 on PS1. Now decades later they're still doing Final Fantasy and it just feels so ho hum at this point.

People tend to trash Nintendo for it's reliance on Mario and Zelda, but square is on the 16th iteration of Final.Fantasy not including remakes and they don't say squat ...

Next year and beyond the difference is really going to shine through. Eventually Sony will have to adopt some kind of approach to adding newer games. You severely underestimate the power of that day one release schedule for all first party games.

Sure you may not like Halo or any of the Xbox exclusives that are on there but there are exclusive games on there and they are great. Forza Horizon 5 is great Halo is great. Just because you don't personally like those doesn...

You have it wrong though. Putting those games on Game pass does not devalue them. If anything it increases the user base exponentially. More people playing the games equals more potential people to sell gaming things to. The movie industry is a great example. You're telling me these companies don't make money on movies anymore because Netflix and other streaming services exist? No it's exactly the opposite. They make more money now by cutting piracy out of the equation entirely. N...

No proof eh https://twitter.com/AndreaP...

Just remember that all of this is coming back on Sony for their greed over the years. I don't care either way I own both systems and have every generation. I just want to play the best games I don't really care about the optics. But I went to business school so I studied the gaming industry a lot. S...

No way. People are still gonna buy consoles. Look at how we buy phones now, some people upgrade every year! If anything I see them being able to sell more consoles by doing mid cycle upgrades like the pro models, etc. They've been saying consoles are gonna go away the last 3 console generations! They also said Vinyl was dead but look at how that has resurged. You can buy vinyl records and players in Wal Mart now 🤣 Consoles are never going away

Whats crazy to me that no one seems to mention is how much the gameplay is similar to the new God of War games. I had a friend try out God of War a couple years back that had only had an xbox last gen. They specifically mentioned that GoW was just Ryse with with a Norse spin. So I went and played Ryse afterward and holy crap, it was really eerie how similar the gameplay was.

Exactly. Why limit the fanbase? Now exclusive to Gamepass makes total sense, but not exclusive to Xbox. I dont think thatll ever happen. I mean, they didn't remove Minecraft from anything or so supporting it in all the other platforms so IDK why people are worried about PS losing CoD. Its not happening.

Cool story, where are Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo for Xbox platforms??

1267d ago 1 agree3 disagreeView comment

Wow you can't really be that clueless can you!? Most of these things were not introduced by Microsoft there were things that Microsoft adopted with their XBox platform yes but most of what you just listed came from other companies.

EA has been doing annual sports games forever. PC games had expansions and downloadable content way before Microsoft was even involved in console gaming.

If you really believe everything you just wrote I really suggest you ...
