And that's before being available in retail stores
Oh please. Spencer picked up the pieces and just threw them out the window, making Xbox's position even worse now than the Xbox One launch. Approving and being proud ( at least BEFORE the time ) of the releases of Crackdown 3, State of Decay 2, Halo Infinite and even Redfall. Launched a new generation with no games.....I still remember him saying that the reason the last few years of the Xbox One generation were so dry, was because they were prepping the games for 'next-gen'. W...
@ Pete "They have a fraction of the market compared to Sony".….and whose damn fault is that!? They've had 20 years and only managed to cock things up while being the richest by miles!
Halo, Gears, Forza - way to go listing the longest running joke in Xbox history. Also, Halo? Turned to crap. Gears ( used to be "of War' ) ? Diluted and crap just like the new name. Forza? The ONLY one with a semblance of quality still. Age of Empires, Hi-Fi Rush ? Hold me back, wow! Bethesda games like Redfall? Maybe Starfield but I'm not holding my breath. Elder Scrolls in 5-6 years and Fallout another 5-6 years after? Are you sure you will still even be alive then?
Yeah, bringing crap to EVERYWHERE. Wanting to push a service to everyone with no quality unique content is laughable.
These comments....oh for the love of......Pleeeeease let MS just get the deal so they can ruin and cheapen COD and get their Candy Crush money, so that we can all move on and hardcore MS cheerleaders will finally realise that this was the step that enabled irrelevance of their Xbox console and even further encouraged lack of investment in any future big budget AAA titles since they don't fit the gamepass utopia MS dreams of.
@Knushwood Sorry man, I just happened to read your comment while I was in a really bad mood. I also found the start to be slow, but experienced one of the best games I've ever played because I gave it a proper chance and playtime till the game opened combat wise, story wise, location wise, etc. Just felt frustrated with you for some reason. I apologise. Just got home from work and had s beer.....I'm in a better mood now 😐
Whatever money MS makes from all these deals ( and ABK should it miraculously go through ) is NOT going to go back into making the big blockbuster AAA games to compete with Sony and Nintendo first party that you are dreaming of. Count on it. They are all going to get the budget and effort that gampass deserves
@ Knushwood Firstly, that's his uncle not his father. Secondly, that part is the tutorial which teaches you the basics of swordplay you need for the rest of the game. So you couldn't make it through the ( very well done ) tutorial? My, what patience you must have! You surely would have lost interest when having to learn the bow, etc. Or the ghost skills oh no! Or did the uncle kick your ass in the tutorial because it was too hard for you? Sorry, but people who can't be bothered to...
@potato The Doom guys also helped with Redfall shooting mechanics, so that's not saying much....
What utter bullshit. "A world controlled by Playstation where Backward compatibility does not exist"..PS5 is natively backwards compatible with over 4000 PS4 games via disc ( OG PS3 was fully backwards compatible with PS1 and PS2 via disc ). You put the disc in...it plays. No having to be on a pathetically short list of "valid" games that you anyway have to download the whole "emulated" version. Without online Xbox can't back compat shit! ( or even play your ...
Ahead of the Switch.....but behind the Nintendo Wii, PS2, PS4, PS5, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 1. Weird flex.
How can it be a positive thing to provide the customers on your subscription service underwhelming content? In what universe is that a smart move ? These people I swear....
If nothing on PS makes it worth it for you to get one....I mean none of the many award winning mindblowing exclusives and series gets your dumb brain excited...then please do everyone a favour and don't buy one. You'll be 'happy' and we will all be even more happy not to have losers like you in our group and in our ecosystem.
Oh you mean Hellblade....the one and done third person 'movie' type game that is such a favourite with Xbox fans like yourself? So that excites you now does it? Hypocrisy noted.
Woah....death threats from Zelda/Nintendo disciples. So scary.
Two that I remember well where the music added immensely to the moment
Witcher 3 when you finally find Ciri
Ghost of Tsushima title intro where the music builds up as you ride through the forest and then swells as you break through the trees
The only thing I'll miss that can't be replicated with an online showcase, are the epic crowd reactions
Come on Jim. Nintendo is thriving without COD because of their first party IP only.....Playstation will too. Give your studios some credit FFS
@Magog so if Valve goes out of business tomorrow and Steam closes down. Say your hard drive crashes.....you can still get/play all your games? Not likely I know, but it's not as bulletproof as you think.
