An 8/10 from 60 reviews on Metacritic is a pretty good score.

I hope the lads on here who laugh about Xbox's capitulation realise that, without competition, they can look forward to new PlayStation consoles costing €1,000+. They're already testing the waters selling the Pro with a disc drive for more than €900. And don't think games won't follow suit.

"Metaphor a new IP without an existing fanbase"

You're saying the people behind Persona have no fanbase and you expect people to take anything you say after that seriously?

Ok, this looks pretty epic.

Definitely. What if a Netease game is released that needs a few patches to get it up to scratch but there's nobody to do it because they shut down the developer? Best to just avoid.

Damn. Picked it up yesterday, really enjoying it. Didn't even realise Netease were involved with it until I first booted it up and their logo popped up.

Or maybe do what Nintendo did with Metroid. Go from a 2D platformer to a 3D game, like Metroid Prime.

Yup. And both headlines conveniently forget to mention the 90% decrease is on PC only, not overall.

"where we're you before Sony even entered cause this was common during Sega vs Nintendo."

"Might wanna read up a bit"

Might want to take your own advice and maybe read the start of my comment where I said "Atari was paying for and securing exclusives back in the '80s. It's been around since the dawn of gaming".

Gaming didn't start with Nintendo buddy.

"MS started and popularised that trend"

What a load of horse poo. Atari was paying for and securing exclusives back in the '80s. It's been around since the dawn of gaming, they're all at it. The earliest one I actually remember as it played out was Sony hijacking Final Fantasy 7 from Nintendo.

Edit: just read the comments again, are ye only talking about COD exclusive deals? If so then yeah, ye're probably right!

"Loved how they conveniently left out the PS5 part in the show…"

Can't take you seriously after this comment.

"If it's an Xbox show then you must know it's going to be Xbox and PC so why show platforms at all going by that logic."

Lol, it gets better! Yes, you're right, it's good business sense to advertise for your main business rival during your own main showcase for the year!

I really like the game but my heart dies a little when the map opens up and a laundry list of open world padding appears with those damn towers. I know they're optional but my OCD doesn't care! It's the reason I stopped playing Assassins Creed games, it just doesn't feel fun in the slightest. When Rebirth is laser focused on its actual story the game is top class.

Madness. I just recently finished the remaster of part two for the first time. The story was heavy and I loved it.

Helldivers 2 is a phenomenally good game. You should definitely check it out if you get the chance. Looks like the devs have the server capacity issue pretty much sewn up now so it's a good time to jump in.

From the podcast that you apparently watched:

"These are titles which have been available to Xbox players for at least a year"

733d ago 14 agree0 disagreeView comment

I'm guessing he means they are currently in development for the other systems (PS and Switch) and are already available on Xbox. Think he mentions the games are already a year old at least?

It's a single player game that can take up to 40 hours to complete, of course its player base would drop off after 6 months.

@ DigitallyAfflicted

Of course buddy, everything's a conspiracy 🙄

This is about Internet traffic, not sales of the actual game. Yeah it probably sold very well but isn't it the case that anyone who had MW2 was forced to download MW3 in order to play MW2 for some reason? So you've got the people who actually bought it as well as anyone trying to play MW2 contributing to the Internet traffic they're talking about. Misleading story.
