"You have a very interesting view of what benefits
"the introduction of gamepass". The very thing MS stated "cannibalizes sales", kills lifetime sales, kills dev jobs, removes consumer rights by pushing a rental service."
I have successfully disproven your points so now you are trying a different angle. How many developers have lost their jobs because their game went on gamepass? From what I understand, those...
Microsoft has disinsentified anyone from purchasing an Xbox since according to them, you don't need an Xbox to play Xbox games.
If they want to see a come back at this point, they should make windows or steam OS bootable and have the game pass or Ms store as an app.

"No s**t. The difference is every platform holder except MS makes it's money and grows it's audience by adding to the industry, MS just want to make money by taking what's already there. One benefits the industry the other only benefits MS."
That is not true. Even in the current generation the Xbox has contributed to the industry. Because of the introduction of gamepass, you now have multiple tiers for PlayStation plus and Ni...
The only thing I can think of that will allow the Xbox console to exist at this point is if they release windows or steam OS and have gamepass or the MS Store be a launchable app on the Xbox.

"Is it really that much of a significant spike in difficulty?"
Eventually you will be taking on bigger and more dangerous machines later in the game and the difficulty comes from trying to detach the crafting parts from the machine while avoiding the attacks. When you get to that point in the game where you are grinding for machine parts, you don't want to also have to grind for medicinal herbs so I recommend you get those perks e...
Hopefully these issues will be patched out before the holiday season.
For those who are wondering, price of this handheld is said to be $799
The Chinese gamers really came out and supported a game from their country. I like this and it is great they are supporting single player experiences instead of live service games.
Not sure what you were waiting for, but Forbidden West is a great game. Burning shores content should be played after you beat the main story. A quick tip I can give you is that don't be in any rush to kill any machines, instead scan and break off the parts because crafting is huge in this game. The consequence of this focus is that battles now last longer and you will be spending some time grinding machines for crafting materials. You also want to unlock perks that increase medicinal pla...
All platform holders and developers are in the industry to make money. The only people who I can think of are in it for the love of it are the modders and makers of fan made projects. Nothing is wrong with trying to make money from the gaming industry because it is the method of how you go about making that money that matters.
"Every platform and platform holder has added to the industry except for MS who just takes."
That statement is 100% false. The X...
Why are you calling out fanboys for one side alone? All fanboys are bad. They defend and overlook the shortcomings of their favorite platform and waste their time bashing the competitor without even testing that platform for themselves.
Back when the Activision Blizzard acquisition was in progress, the common opinion on N4G wasn't that the acquisition was bad because Microsoft would force Xbox to go third party; it was the acquisition should fail because Microsoft woul...
Phil basically lied when he said Starfield and Indiana Jones are not going to PlayStation and here we are today.
With that said, I have been quite on on this game because I didn't want to steal any hype away from it but In my opinion, Indiana Jones is not an IP that is still strong today and I am surprised it was greenlit for both a Movie and a game.
The franchise has been dormant for way too long and the Movie bombed at the Box office as it only bro...
Who are the 10%?
Why take the risk? At least wait a day after release so you can hear from the reviewers.
Never seen that comment but that would be a delusional path to take if someone actually believed it to be true.
I've never heard of most of those places
The reviewer went out of his way to let you know the game is extremely buggy and you all want to say it lost points for woke nonsense.
The switch will be the longest running Nintendo generation. 8 years by April 2025.
Let's see what this "Big" game actually is. These writers always over hype stuff.
Project Milo could not have been released even if it existed. Why would a grown man want to simulate talking to young kids?
