Xbox is the epitome of a zombie. All other companies would have folded. They’re already dead its just daddys cash is keeping them afloat.

Yes exactly so its fair to rank the game a bit lower since in the reviewers mind they took no chances like the first game yet want full price for it. This reinforces their view of it feeling more like DLC. 6 is harsh though a 7 or 8 would suffice especially if the game is fantastic.
Just because somethings a sequel doesn’t mean it can’t be more memorable. It comes down to how much of a risk the creators willing to take. Also there can be enough improvements (or mistakes) over the first to make the first forgettable.
Half life 2 is more memorable than 1
Return of the Jedi is more memorable than A New Hope
Dark Souls 2 is more memorable than 1 (for the wrong reasons)
Uncharted 2 is more memorable than 1
Just ...
UC3 was by far the worst. Only one I couldn’t finish. Looked sub par and was buggy in comparison to 2.
Just make your game with that one time online check-in bs if you care so much. Won’t matter when it’s sold if PlayStation’s servers deny access until a certain date.
I hope this does happen, maybe some good alternatives will come out!!
Or maybe MS is trolling since they’ll be getting PlayStation dollars as well
Lmao what a terrible analogy
No one’s forcing a dev to make a game for Xbox. Target ps5/pc if you want no limitations, just understand your maximum audience is a fraction (large fraction) of the whole and adjust accordingly.
Merging tools has nothing to do with it actually. It’s about asset, money and project management, geo locations, time zone differences and more. It’s much cheaper to off load on site installations/maintenance of software and hardware and focus on what the team is trying to accomplish.

This has been an issue for them since the middle of the 360 era. Also didn’t they start that ”quadruple” A studio fairly recently? 😂 💀 stop making excuses.
Folks, they moved DEVELOPMENT into the cloud, not the game being “cloud powered”. Reading is fundamental.
Oh cool, now just wait for clothing companies to start suing anyone that fashions their product for any type of entertainment purpose even if the brand isnt visible to the audience. And why stop there? Who cut your hair? What brand of toothpaste did you use before showing those pearly yellows? Let’s just sue everyone for displaying products to the public.
Lol did it feel good typing this? You realize if they take cod off of PlayStation not only would they be losing a MASSIVE amount of revenue but also opening themselves up for competition where they would currently have none? When has Sony ever bowed down to Micro$soft when it comes to anything related to gaming, go ahead and look it up, I’ll wait..
you've been hearing that since the second half of the xb360 life cycle since when did that narrative bother you??
This doesn’t help their pockets or public perception since piracy isn’t the path most paying customers take. Im in the realm of buying a new device, I’m not gonna jump through hoops to pirate games when I can just buy the hardware those games are made for.
I’m suing for mental pain and suffering along with whistle blower rights. I bought this game and now you’re violating terms and conditions.
The thing about these acquisitions was s that unless you’re buying a big named franchise it doesn’t make sense. For example the devs make the games. I’m this case it makes more sense make deals with devs vs buying ips. They are the ones who can leave and recreate the experience elsewhere. Outside of a GTA, or MW ips are empty shells if the talent leaves the studio. Ask bungie.
Yes we all know it’s a video game. Now that we’ve established that, who are you to tell someone to calm down about something they spent REAL dollars on???
