Trophies/achievements are an official record of what you have accomplished in a game.
If you love a game a lot you may want to get all its trophies/achievements. All the power to that person. For me, there are some games where I will aim to up my trophy/achievement count, but for most games I just get what i get and look at them as records of what I accomplished in that game.

I play a lot more games on GamePass then just this.
I have been interested in playing this game for a while. I just wanted it cheap. And I don't buy physical games anymore so was waiting for a really good digital price. Last week it was 60% off. But I was waiting for more like 75-85%. GamePass has put it to lets wait and see based on the game.
I am not going to claim GamePass is the ultimate. I am just stating what it is in ...
Yup but in playing on GamePass I am not paying anymore then I am today to play the game.
I was waiting for the game to go cheap (digitally) then buy it. Now I don't have to.
If I wanted to play Spider-man that badly I would've bought the PS5 version. Now, I will try it out on GamePass, and if Spider-man appeals that much I will wait for it cheap on my PS5. If it doesn't appeal enough.... Oh well.
There is a difference between laws and regulations. These are regulations.
How is Halo struggling. Last time I checked it is one of if not the most anticipated game to release this year.
Yes, you will call out delays. The reality though is that almost all games have seen delays over the past year and a half. This is not anything new.
These devices are computers. There is no tricks here.
Secondly, this is just through the browser, not the actual desktop apps.
The only trick here is MS is providing browser support on XB still.
I have a Series S at a second home I own. It only has a 1080p TV so the Series S is working fine there.
I think there is a longer plan for Series S. First, it is price point. Last generation none of the device got down to the $99-149 price range. I think MS plan here is to get into that space this generation. Second, the next thing is the portable market. Switch has done well in that space. If MS were to release a Series S type device as a portable that just worked w...
I do look at reviews. Some reviewers have no chance of liking a game but still review it.
Personally, I think those reviewers should just skip the game review then because they are so biased before they start the review. It is like reviewing MS Flight Simulator knowing that you will think it is boring because the is no combat or story in it.
Comparing a portable device with an operating system? OK.
LOL. Looks like this person does not have a PS.
What about Deathloop?
I expect this a combination of money and love of Nintendo by the developers.
Bayonetta 1 did great on PS3/X360. The choice to move to Nintendo's console exclusively had to be more then just money.

The facts are that Switch is outselling PS5 and XB Series by a wide margin. Even the Switch was supply constrained early on.
Link to story when Switch was supply constrained at 4.7 million units sold:

You can make all the excuses you want for PS5 or XB Seri...

How many times has the game been delayed from its announced released date?
You can't "rescue" a game with no set delivery date. That is just stupid.
They are building a new game with a new studio. It takes time and when you are hiring hundreds of staff to build it, it takes time and you are bound to have key turnovers. It is always better to bring in expertise to help a young forming studio to help them form quicker. T...
Honestly, gamers are falling for marketing gimmicks on Director's Cuts. On PC if I buy a game, then get new hardware the game just works and I just change the settings to take advantage of the hardware. On console they keep trying to get me to buy the game over and over again and nickel and dime me for everything.
Console only gamers are just gullible falling for this stuff.
What does that have to do with console sales?
So, now we can't compare sales of Switch and PS5 because they are not based on newer tech?
Seriously. Both Sony and XB fans have to quit acting like Switch does not even exist. Switch is killing both the PS5 and XB Series devices in sales. Denying this and saying that "don't count" is just delusional. Switch is "different" from PS5 and XB Series. But it is still selling as a co...
Ya, I don't think this is as much as rescue exercise as it is a "speeding up getting the team familiar" with this type of development. Why go through the exercise of learning yourself, when you can contract with one of the leaders in the area and learn much quicker.
This is known as being smart. MS' previous approach of just outsourcing the development completely did not work well. This is a team talent building exercise.
Microsoft has a history partnering with Crystal Dynamics on Tomb Raider. The partnership is just reversing and changing now.
Way back since Tomb Raider Underworld MS has had marketing agreements with Crystal Dynamics. And in the most recent Tomb Raider it was stated many times that MS was the only reason Crystal Dynamics brought the game to completion.
This partnership does not mean they are taking SE over. I look at it as a mentoring deal. MS is bui...
I will fully agree that Genius is over doing it for this game.
But at the same time, I believe diversity of games is important to gaming. Whether it be Death Stranding or MS Flight Simulator. The fact that publishers are taking chances putting these types of games out is really good for the industry as a whole.
You and I may not like these games, but there is a significant audience that does.
How about scraping Games with Gold and reducing both XB Live Gold and XB GamePass Ultimate by $5 per month.
I don't mind the games with gold, but in reality it has been a long time since I really cared about what came on games with gold.
