Why would anyone buy a Series X or S at launch? It was the only console launch in history to have zero new games, only backwards compatibility updated last gen games on offer.
Microsoft only released Series X | S because Sony was going to release PS5. They didn't want to get left behind, even though they had no software prepared for it.
This was a sign of things to come, and I mentioned that many times over the past few years, it was a bad omen.
Doesn't make sense, decreasing people's desire to buy their own hardware, and thus intentionally giving up much of their profits.
3,192 days later, you got it.
Microsoft is dominating Sony in live service games? That makes me want to avoid Microsoft and Xbox even more.
This is not the victory you think it is, Windows Central. Its a mark of shame, not a badge of honor.
Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Shinobi are already in development right now.
I wouldn't waste my life playing shitty games that require "boost services" in the first place, dummy.
lol, what a pathetic excuse. But it doesn't even matter anyway, look up the history of their games, watch videos, look at Metacritic, and you'll see their games aren't even worth your time.
All previous PlayStation consoles have modded games, include nude patches, translation patches, balance fixes, soundtrack changes, etc. Eventually PS5 will be the same way, but no one is going to give a crap to mod your forgettable game.
There's no need for that, the online mode is going to generate billions in profit. But I wouldn't put it past the douchebags at Take-Two increasing their game prices. Unfortunately, GTA is one of the few series which can get away with it, other publishers would get destroyed if they tried the same thing, so no, $100 is not going to become the norm anytime soon.
Stupid analyst.
You act as if PC gaming is problem-free, as if all the games are extremely well polished, and there are no glitches, issues, crashes, endless stuttering, missing controller support, etc.
Yes, PC gaming has the best visuals, and mod support, that's good features, but there's plenty of downsides it has which console gaming often doesn't have. Also some people like owning physical game discs, I still buy PS4 / PS5 game discs, which of course is not possible on PC.

Look up the games this studio has made before, and you'll see why this is nothing to get excited over. They spend about 2 years rushing out broken games, and moving on to the next haphazard project.

Absolute destruction, thanks for sharing. This guy keeps self-owning himself. I still remember when he got pissy that I said he's wrong 98% of the time. Honestly, I was being too generous, he's wrong 100% of the time!
Didn't mention fixing the stick drift issue. Come on, that has to be #1 on the list, right?
Glad to see it called Nintendo Switch 2, instead of some stupid name, like "New Switch" or "Switch U".
Having to constantly come up with new names for your systems was not a good idea, and is bad for marketing to the mass market audience.
If they don't put hall effect analog sticks (which SEGA did on both Saturn and Dreamcast!), then they are intentionally taking the piss out of us. Knowing damn well that their low quality junk analog sticks...
The direct is April 2nd, not the launch of the console.
Sony sending thank you e-mails to Phil Spencer right now for his incredible job destroying the Xbox brand over the past 11 years. 🤣
They're adding new things to the game?
More grinding.
More filler.
More live service elements.
More micro-trash-actions.
And of course let's not forget the latest trend that disc games require an online connection for the game to install.
Ubisoft made the franchise undesirable to me once they went full on filler-grind style of game. Each game was getting bigger and increasingly more bloated, but once Origins came out they went to the extreme of low quality missions, filler quests, and too much resource collecting that bogs down the game.
This was a decision made by the executives, because the longer a game is the more likely a person is to enter the digital store and buy some digital junk, which Ubisoft is o...
RE1 and RE0 should be combined into one game, maybe it'll help redeem RE0, which feels like a filler game in a tired formula by that point.
Series X without the disc drive. That's all MS needed to do. So simple, so obvious, yet it escaped Phil and crew. Instead they shot themselves in the foot with so many decisions starting with the kinect.
It didn't have to be this way, Original Xbox and 360 were good consoles with many worthwhile games.
Phil ruined Xbox because he never knew what he was doing from the start. Canceling Scalebound all those years ago made that clear.
