you mean how like Xbox fans complain about timed exclusive deals then champion major acquisitions? Worst part is they bought 7 studios before all this, what the hell have been they doing? Oh yeah honoring PS contracts lol; yet tumbleweeds on Xbox. All these devs and all we got is two indies from Xbox first party since launch? It seriously makes me wonder you how you can be so staunch a MS defender. Literally no games
EDIT: Of course I'm using hyperbole. God they screwe...
that's the problem though amigo, only 2 of them are selling
Ninver it's not about survival. The whole point of Sony dragging their feet is getting MS to admit their exiting the console arena at some point and want GP on all gaming devices, including PS and Nintendo platforms. Within a decade MS will sell an X stick and no consoles. How else can we explain zero growth from Xbox 2013-2023 (both software and hardware) yet think acquiring 2 major publishers will make a difference? PS5 is outselling Series X 3:1. MS has the G to prop up numbers but i...
@ zeldafan
Parents usually are. How many 9 yr olds do you know walk into Best Buy and plop down $400 on a Switch and a game? Honestly all consoles are bought by adults and it's irrelevant to the discussion. It IS worth mentioning the company's focus and how it relates to SteamDeck. I'm saying it won't matter at all. Nintendo doesn't focus on high-end tech so it wouldn't surprise me to see Switch Too not match Steam's HH in raw power. It could sti...
Sony doesn't control 98% of ANY market. You're as dumb as the congressmen. Now all of a sudden, a 2 trillion dollar company can't compete with a 20 billion dollar one. Maybe if your little plastic box wasn't managed by the folks on Sesame street, they wouldn't have to buy up publishers. Who was the genius who thought making a low income console was a good idea? Oh I know the same dummy who thought IndiePass was a great idea. MS continually shoot themselves in the foot. Xb...
MS is FUCKING awful at selecting games for IndiePass.
Zero Hour over Chernobyl Lite? Both games, if you can call zero one, came out relatively same time on console yet MS picks the early garbage access one. PUH-lease. I can make a list of MS being cheap with the selections cuz MS knows the audience ain't never gonna buy anything anyway. Series G.
Must be hard being an MS IndiePass "scout" lol
UE4 sucks. General consensus. Everyone loved UE3. EPIC laid a n egg w/4 which is why most devs are looking forward to 5.
exactly, why do you think EA put Zampanella in charge of BF now? Or the new rumor of one of Bungie's unannounced IPs is suddenly NOT multiplatform? Wheels are already turning, everyone's just jockeying for position now
Less shovelware? WTF are you smoking. Christ MS fans are delusional. Maybe MS should've tried harder with their failed phones if they wanted a piece of mobile. More Gears of Pop anyone?
SIFU sold a million in its 1st 30 days too. Very good for a relative unknown developer and a new publisher. Not sure about Scorn. It sold 200k on Steam with mixed reviews. Seems to me Sloclap did the heavy lifting. Kepler didn't disclose Scorn's lifetime numbers. They do mention it generated 8 million in revenue in the 1st 30 days. Terrible
Traditional gaming vs. subscription services? Is it even a question of what generates more revenue for these game makers?
don't know which of these military shooters to get. Ain't there two more around the corner as well? Is there a bot/zombie mode to learn the mechanics before hopping online? I ask because I hate shooting range tutorials and I'd rather hear the info from a fellow gamer who owns it. You mentioned the bevy of modes.
2023 is just so stacked. We don't know about quality yet but the quantity is sure gonna be there. I'm gonna have to be more selective this year. Al...
the new John Wick too. Hopefully he reprised his roles for both.
that's pitiful. Arguing semantics when you got called out for listing UNRELEASED games. Is the MS library that pathetic? You don't have to answer, it's a rhetorical question. I embarrassingly own a series X and an IndiePass sub.
anyone who types bruh in every post is a fucking moron. That is all
I've been blessed with built in sea/VR legs but I would agree. I tried the Norway coastline at night during a storm last night and holy shit. The waves were like 5 feet high. I definitely recommend easing into that game with the Costa Rica beach level under sunny skies.
how cute, blaming Sony for the little trailer park console that couldn't.
funny how you cherry pick Sony's failures King yet you can't pick one studio owned by MS that's better for it. Oh and Liverpool and Evolution's former employees formed Firesprite and let themselves be re-acquired by Sony. Thanks for the set up, I couldn't have said it better without your ignorance!
he's just upset DLC Miles Morales outsold every Xbox game that ever existed. Halo 3 sold 12 mil for reference. He knows with IndiePass the only way MS titles see 5 mil sales ever again is from the benevolence of Steam gamers who hate G4WL, I mean the Xbox store or whatever they call it
nope. Just like the Switch Pro, it's wishful thinking. Easier to release PS6/Nxtbox in 4-5 years. Everything's BC now anyways. I expect new gen around 2028
been saying this since 2018. It's gone from wacko tin foil hat conspiracy to plausible. Within a decade will there still be fanboys when it's just an X stick and a sub?
