What I can never understand is when these companies are no longer satisfied with making a shitload of money.....they start wanting more and more and more. Eventually that's not enough either and they won't be satisfied till they make ALL the money.
Ironically this always seems to come at the cost of cheapening and diluting the very product / experience that was making them that shitload of money in first place. People then lose interest since you are not providing ...
Guilty Of Always Talking for sure
@:ShadowT
Firstly, as UltimateOwnage explained so nice and clear, the Bethesda and Activision acquisitions will result / have resulted in a very large portion of gamers not getting games they previously would have gotten. That's it. These acquisitions aren't even giving Xbox players anything extra....just games they were going to get anyway.
Secondly, if you think the shareholders are just going to be fine with spending 77 billion without getting...
@Dead Starfield should have just been left in the oven at 240°C
Well I had a lot to say. What would you suggest? Splitting it all up into 10 different posts so you can have fun trying to piece them all together like a puzzle? It's ok, I know reading too many words all in one go must hurt your brain. It really doesn't take that long for us that know how.
@Obscure You have such an amazing gift!....the way you can just completely fabricate scenarios in your head and then reprogram your brain to process them as truth and reality never ceases to amaze me. Life must be awesome for you....you can make it whatever you want it to be! Facts be damned!
What I find hilarious is when Phil's faithful rave about how much of a gamer he is which makes him so much better than 'Mr Business' Jim Ryan. Well you would think a gamer would know when a game is complete shit then wouldn't you? Yet Phil wholeheartedly approved of ( and even praised ) mediocre crap like Crackdown 3, Halo Infinite and Redfall. That makes it even more obvious how much he sucks at his job for someone that's supposed to be 'in the know'.
Excuse me!!? Sony DOES NOT need a useless bullshitter like Spencer whose only accomplishment has been to condition his slack-jawed customer base into believing that buying games is bad and that the Xbox console hardware is not a priority. He released the series S to make sure that Xbox always has one foot stuck in last gen.....proving a headache for developers and proving woefully inadequate in all ways that matter.
Phil who praised Crackdown 3 as the next great thing, at...
So they admit exploration is lacking
Can you believe that I actually read a comment by one of the jealous bitter greenies stating that Spider-Man 2 graphics are just copy/paste with a different 'filter'.
That is the extent of the utter denial and delusion these rejects have had to condition themselves with in order to make it through their day.
Wrong! The hate for Xbox is well and truly EARNED over a VERY long period of time, brought on themselves through their own output ( or rather lack thereof ) and baffling desire to do everything EXCEPT provide games at the same level of quality and consistency of both their console competitors. Anyone with eyeballs that still function, can see that Xbox has become a entity devoid of the creativity, passion and skill required.
"I can't wait"....oh you sure can buddy....it's all you Xbox ganatics do. Wait and hope the next game is ' the one'
Well that's about as big as Xbox is gonna get....
Take Two isn't who they used to be and I am convinced that GTA6 is also going to be toned down to be more 'acceptable'......to the point where it will be nothing like the previous games. Think there will be a strip club? Na ah, that would be encouraging to the male gaze. In-game shows like Republican Space Rangers or Princess Robot Bubblegum?
Nope, jokes would be way too 'offensive' for the 'modern audience' ( hurl ) to handle and would result ...
For the millionth time......the market for mobile is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT to consoles! Different audiences for different types of games ffs. You aren't going to entice granny and aunty to start playing Gears on their phones and you also aren't going to entice your hardcore console fanbase to rather spend their time playing Bubble Witch. If Phil is tired of making the types of games needed for his console to thrive, he should just admit that milking casuals for mobile money is more a...
Sony doesn't need to counter anything....just keep doing what they are doing which is making groundbreaking quality games. That's something MS needs to counter but can't ( Phil's own words ).
Speaking of groundbreaking quality games I have Spider-man 2 waiting for me at home after work courtesy of my awesome wife. Can't freakin wait! What an awsome weekend to look forward to 👍😁 Thank you Sony for still providing thrills and excitement li...
Well, Mario is the same game from 30 years ago......except now he turns into an elephant instead of a racoon. Amazing stuff.
HOW MANY? Is the question
"2) Unless you're a huge Starfield fan would 1 game suddenly sway you from buying the most popular console". But is was SUPPOSED TO do that.....don't you remember!? It was supposed to make everyone leave Playstation for xbox!! That's all I was hearing pre-release.
@ both of you above. MS buys up Bethesda and Activision with a huge number of developers and IP. Sony buys a small video streaming company. MONOPOLY!! You guys are truly idiots.
