"Yet Xbox were the ones who started this exclusive crap with CoD during the 360/PS3 era. This guy is something else."
That's not actually true. Sony paid to keep games off of Nintendo and sega back in day. Plus they payed blocking rights to keep certain games off of gamepass which is probably what Phil may be referring to. Imo that makes them slimey too if we're being honest. At the end of the day it's just business. There is no doubt in my mind that i...
You're still supporting the devs if you're playing the game through a subscription. That doesn't mean that you won't buy the game. I've bought a lot of games mostly because of my gamepass subscription. Games I probably would of never even tried if it wasn't for gamepass. Plus you get them at a discounted price price because of y our subscription. There are negatives but the positives far outweigh them for me.
Gamepass has always been great for me. And with what was shown on Sunday it's gonna get even better. India Jones, Perfect Dark, Black Ops 6, State of Decay , Gears and Fable. That's a killer lineup. I have gamepass but I'll still buy those games. Don't have to but I will. That's one of the best thing about the service.
95% of games are on both consoles. A few more aren't gonna really matter. These are business decisions. Nothing more. Sony is slowly doing similar things. Some gamers won't like it but it's the way the industry is headed.
Lol.. just because you have a disc doesn't mean you own a game. That's not how software works. It's all a rental service.
I disagreed about them not having great games. Of course they bought studios just like Sony has bought studios. It's been happening throughout the industry for a long time now. It's not that big of a deal to me. Devs need publishers and vice versa. These huge AAA games are very expensive to make nowadays. You guys can't be mad at Microsoft because they didn't force anyone into those purchases. Let's not forget sony has used their money to do similar things. They bough...
I disagree. Microsoft has always had good games in my opinion. It's all a matter of opinion. Yes, they did buy some studios but so have sony. Who cares. I just want good games on my console regardless of where they come from.
Hold up! What happened to "xbox doesn't have any good games argument"? I'm all for more games going to other platforms. Microsoft had a great showcase of games yesterday. Even the hardest sony fans had to admit it. Good job Phil.
Good show Microsoft! Man, xbox has some killer games coming. The best part is they're coming to gamepass. I'm excited.
Doesn't mean they won't finish it though. I finished it. It's a really good game.
That's not true in all cases. We've seen devs state the opposite. If it's making the games run better then that's a plus. If this game was exclusive to ps5 the tune would be different. The comments would be something like " take your time" or "don't release it unfinished". There is no win or loss here no matter how much you guys try to make everything a competition. I've always said the best and worst thing about the gaming industry are the gamers t...
I dont think so. I don't think the wait is gonna be that long. And even if some gamers do decide to get a ps5 it doesn't mean gamers will stop playing xbox. You guys seems to forget that 95% of games are multiplat and even some exclusives are not exclusive anymore.
"The fact they are doing this shows projected sales on Xbox are low and other platforms are a higher priority, which makes sense as that's where the money and support comes from."
Lol...that's not exactly a fact. More like speculation. Games get delayed all the time for different reasons.
Wow! Crazy numbers. Congrats to Insomniac and Sony.
In excited for Avowed and Gears 6.
But they do pay and the devs get paid too. It goes back to what i said before.
Third party publishers are the ones who get to decide if they want their games on gamepass. No one is forcing them.
That's not exactly true. Well, its not the whole story.Yes, they spend
a lot of money making those deals, but they make about 3 billion a year. They've reported that they make well over 200 million a month. They're spending a lot and they're also making a lot. How long can they keep this up? Time will tell. Microsoft is very rich so what may sound like huge loses to us isn't so bad for them. They can absorb loses that Nintendo and Sony can't.
Facts
Sony closes studios
Microsoft closes studios
Gamepass has helped some studios
Gamepass has hurt some studios
Those are facts that no one can really deny. Didn't i state above that GP is not always positive? Yes I did. The problem with people here is that your dislike for one over the other clouds your judgment. I don't think I made any excuses for anything. I stated my opinion. There are some things I don't like about ...
So in other words you say Microsoft should do what sony and Nintendo is doing? Who wants 3 different consoles that are doing the same exact thing. At the end of the day, Microsoft is gonna do what they think works for them. They aren't forcing anyone to put their games on gamepass. People act like they've taken away the right to buy a game. They haven't. If you like a game you can still buy it. Gamepass is a choice. If you want to subscribe the choice is yours. Personally, i thin...
@ einheinder1972
I think you heed to do some research. Sony signed a deal with Eidos to keep console version of Tom Raider off of sega and Nintendo consoles. You may not believe it but it's a fact. Not saying Mictosoft is innocent but saying people saying they started this is BS.
