Hey man, if you want to go with the company that has a long history of abysmal exclusive support and that is basing all their decisions around their precious gamepass, so much so that they created a weak 'next gen' console that's going to hold back the other two actual next gen consoles, then be my guest. I don't need to downvote you.
False.
The xsx has batted 2 times already. I'm of course referring to the two game showcases earlier this year.
Although, I'm not sure the analogy fits here. See, if a batter misses all 3 pitches he/her team score at least stays where it is, it doesn't go down. MS's second showcase actually did harm to the brand, they became the laughing stock of the internet are were memed on hard.
So I think a more accurate analogy wo...
This game had always peaked my interested. I had a feeling the teasers just weren't showing the game well.
I'd like to believe I'm vindicated now :)
I'm sorry, did you just ask me to ignore MS hamstringing the entirety of next generation because of their weak xss?
Is that what you just did?
"This generation is going to be the best."
Thanks to ms hamstringing the entire generation with their weak xss, this generation might be the most stagnant.
The only games that are going to resemble what next gen should be are ps5 exclusives.
Also, most of what you listed are 3rd party. MS first decent exclusives are at least 2 years out.
Compared to the PS5 and xsx it is and it's going to hold next generation back.
As an Australian, buying physical online is the only common sense option.
Digital prices are a complete and utter joke, hence why I would exclusively retro game if enough useful idiots enabled an all digital future.
In store prices are usually $30-$40 more.
In 3 years time, when the releases on game pass are nothing but shallow aa experience riddles with MTs, I'll ask you if you still think it's 'consumer friendly'.
Just because you obviously don't know what a good game is, doesn't mean everyone else has the same neanderthal tastes.
Could you people wake up and use 2 of your brain cells for 2 seconds.
This console is going to hamstring the whole of next generation and all you care about is saving a few extra bucks...
I'm done.
Darth....
Do you ever take a moment to hear yourself?
I really hope so, but sadly I doubt it.
At it's price point coupled with MS classic smoke and mirrors marketing, low information consumers will buy the console in enough numbers that greedy publishers won't be able to ignore it.
And thus MS has single handedly crippled the whole of next generation for EVERYONE.
I hate ms so much. This is even worse then their drm bs.
Try reading the article. The actual devs explain it.
I don't think they planned to purposefully hurt sony, but they knew dam well their weak xss would hamstring next generation and just didn't care.
All they care about is selling as many gamepass subscriptions as they can and the xss is going to help them do that.
That makes absolutely no sense.
Firstly, the switch is a portable device with a completely different library.
Secondly, if you have just upgraded your pc, wth would you waste money on an xbox?
Really??? Really??!
MS announces a severely under powered console and a service that in the long run will produce nothing but quick, shallow experiences riddled with MTs and now you decide to jump in...
Unbelievable.
@Problem
Don't know why you're getting disagrees for facts.
Seems ms fans are desperate for it not to be the case. Anyone with half a brain knows the xss is going to cripple next gen. Resident evil 8 already debunked the 'slider' nonsense.
But I guess we have 'forum dwellers' that know better...
Well said, rain.
I am so angry with ms right now. So so angry.
MS are clearly focused on selling gamepass and will use an affordable "next gen" console aimed at low information casuals to push their services. Thanks to their cheap, weak xss console the ENTIRE coming next generation is going to be hamstrung because developers are going to be forced to cater to it.
I just want to be able to buy my ps5 and game in peace, but ms i...
@crazyCoconuts
You'd be right, of course, if the majority of consumers weren't lazy idiots.
A quick 2 minute google search would confirm what you just stated, but unfortunately, people aren't that smart. They will walk into the store, see an advertised 'next gen' console for $299 (even though it's under powered) and think 'wow! only that much for a next gen console, I'm in'.
I wish I was wrong, but ...
@Automatic
Most of what you listed are 3rd party and you won't be able to tell the difference between the xsx and ps5 versions without a magnifying glass.
Tell your friends and family to get a ps5 and they you get the best of both worlds and don't have to miss out on the best exclusives. AND you'll be supporting a company that is pushing the industry forward in a positive direction that actually deserves your money.
