They cared when gamepass numbers were growing just a few months ago and kept shouting out the increasing numbers. As soon as they grew stagnant they got quiet, same as last Gen when they saw their console numbers slowly increase after the 360 years where they were shouting from every rooftop they could about numbers.
Look guys be angry all you want, all we know is almost everyone who knows what an Xbox is also talks about gamepass. So either they just use it as a buzz word or no one actually uses the service they preach. So 20 million gamepass subs means that's a good indicator of how many users are on Xbox monthly. I laid it out pretty decent. Less than 60 million boxes and a little less than half of them are subbed to it (not including pc numbers) that's not bad, but not amazing either.
Definitely a crazy game and it was super fun. Hard to beat and had amazing duelsense and 3D audio. The visuals were outstanding too.
@4show and when devs who don't want to put their games on Xbox don't, you'll be mad about it like usual. Maybe that's why games not launching on gamepass are only on playstation and pc a lot of the time? It is factual data. 20 million from an analsyt and 18 million from your messiahs mouth. I'm it anti gamepass, I'm anti bad service. After all the Bethesda games are done being made, I bet Microsoft is going to make only GAAS bleeding edge, sea of thieves and halo with...
100 million Xbox live makes no sense if ony 50 million Xbox ones were shipped to stores (not sold numbers) and 8 million Xbox series consoles were shipped to Stores (no sold). Sounds like just PR and lies to me. Might as well just divide up the headshots and flowers picked like usual.
I'm just saying at this point if you have an Xbox and don't have gamepass your not someone who uses the console like at all. It's marketed almost like it's straight up required to play anything like gold is. All Xbox gamers talk about is gamepass and there's only 20 million subs. Let's be generous and say 30 million active users. Still low.
I still think 20 million is about the number of active users on Xbox if the subs are 20 million. Damn near anyone who has an Xbox has gamepass. It's like required to play any games and they don't buy games obviously. With the last 50 million shipped, not sold of Xbox ones earlier this year and 8 million series consoles. That's around 60 million in total and I'm sure a bunch of them have two or three consoles. The psn has over 100 million monthly active users. That's with o...
It was alright. I didn't expect much and I was only a little disappointed. I saw more of little devil inside and might pick it up now. Everything else, not so sure. I almost thought at least the GTA trilogy would be there though.
I still don't know how became a thing becuase some random indie felt mistreated due to thier game not selling so much. Sony spams indies all day on Twitter, YouTube and their blog posts almost 7 days a week for years. They've always been an indie powerhouse. Just more political idiots with agendas.
Open world games are more of a chore for me too. I'm one of those guys that has to explore everything possible before moving on, even in linear games. So I'm always back tracking and doing side quests and trying not miss a single thing. In the end its my demise because stuff like assassins creed turns into 40 hours in the starting areas for me. So I truly get it. I couldn't finish this game either and stopped somewhere midway in act 2 or 3.
I kind of think that the avengers game will show off spiderman today and they will announce it coming to ps+ maybe.
And there we have it. Recycled third person trash. More like awards and recognition every year, multiple times a year. You know first person games are far more alike than third person right? The same weapons, same reload animations, basically the same hands. I'm just saying the initial videos of stray and this game didn't do it for me. The second video on stray showed a lot more and got me excited. This game could do that too.
Edit* I didn't want to do it but yo...
Same. I didn't think much of it at first, but it grew on me and I'm not sure if I'll buy it, but I do want to see some more. Just like stray, the first reveal I rolled my eyes. The next trailer I was like OK, that's pretty cool now.
@abriael maybe devs like gamepass because Xbox gamers have proven if a game does not show up on gamepass, no one buys it. Look at every game release. Like less than 20%, sometimes less than 10-15% are on the Xbox consoles. Gamepass probably makes them more money on Xbox than selling it outright. Playstation and pc are their money makers and they continue to make money that way.
That's a shame but they will get the time they need I'm guessing. Next year is going to be stacked for sure.
And they need to do something to get a track record. I'm just saying, we don't know but if fromsoftware never wants to make a sequel then this is the ONLY studio who would or should make a sequel to bloodborne. I'm not super for it either, I'm just making an arguement that it could be done. I doubt it would come out as a 4/10 or something that you seem to be insinuating.
I did play both games at launch. I played demons souls at launch day in 2009 and I've played every souls game to include sekiro and bloodborne. Even some of the souls likes. I understand where your coming from but your arguing with the wrong person. I actually liked some of the changes and new MO-cap that bluepoint used. I liked not getting lag stabbed yes. Sony owned the IP and as we saw with demons souls remake, can do what they want with bloodborne too. I'm just saying it could be ...
Why's that? We don't know until it happens. I think it's a real possibility honestly. Bluepoint spent a lot of time, money and resources making the demons souls remake from scratch on a new, better game engine without all the 50 foot lag stabs and all.
Crystal dynamics is masking perfect dark, but there's been nothing but praise there. Why not rare?
@gamezenith it does affect our experience because Sony games are known for quality. It's a really good team and in most cases, multiple teams working on one version of a game. It makes the game have less bugs and run better. They are able to achieve the crazy graphics and optimization because of that. Thats how it affects us.
They care about the kinds that have lots of money and little time to play games.
