"woe is me" when the one trying to acquire is spouting a loud of rubbish painting themselves as the poor little 2 trillion company that can't compete unless they can start a monopoly? :(
MS have done nothing but lie to get this pushed through, inflating Sony's exclusives, making baseless assumptions regarding the exclusity of some FF titles, playing themselves down as the little guy, already proving they can't be trusted, for example with Bethesda, fir...
The protagonist alone is enough to turn me off this game, it looks flashy and decent gameplay wise but, the proteg is insufferable.
Nah his issue is that it was on PS5 and not Xbox.
Can already see a couple of them damage controlling in the comments, after one of them was trying their hardest to report every other submission of this news lol
Thoughts go out to those who lost their roles, especially those at Bethesda who've been owned for little over 2 years, who may not have lost their job if MS wasn't calling the shots, I hope they will be able to find dev roles elsewhere soon.
As for MS, shame on them for cutting all these jobs while splurging 70 billion trying to buy Activision and still making enormous profits.
Oh the irony.
Nah that's too hard for little trillion dollar company MS, poor saps getting bullied around by 20x less worth than them Sony, they can't possibly compete unless they are allowed to start their monopoly plans unopposed. You can bet if or when it does go through they'll act like a big saviour of Activision and gaming as a whole and will take credit for the success of IPs that have been successul for decades, can just see it now.
You'll have to point out to me when Sony or Nintendo spent many billions on massive publishers and removed many decades old IPs from the competition.
There's no point, you'll never convince these people of the huge false equivalencies.
lol what nonsense, it doesn't have to, and won't replace anything.
Sorry but i'm with him about the low number of encounters, the game throws loads of weapons and skills you're way with a comparatively low amount of places to actually use them, so they felt under utilised.
2013 I thought was a fine entry, but Rise and especially Shadow were painfully mediocre follow ups imo, I really didn't like how selfish and angry her character was in those two.
Ubisoft in absolute shambles.
@Rdeal, I get Forza is obviously high quality, but 2022 was a barren wasteland from MS, just a bit of gamepass filler here and there to distract from their woeful output.
This 2tf 'advantage' has materialised at the very most in minor at best ways and is certainly no way near the difference Xbox fanboys were hoping for in the build up to launch in 2020, hell there are even games that have better performance on PS5 as well.
It's interesting, during the PS3/360 era the 360 was really popular here, it really kinda fell off a cliff with the Xbox 1 just going by numbers and my own observations.
The series consoles have picked it back up a bit but the numbers just to to show the power of system sellers like God of War still very much persist.
RDR2 for sure has the 'better' world, but Elden Ring is actually fun to play, and isn't a clunky as hell 'immersion' simulator like RDR2,
I mean, Sony own them and the IPs, they are part of playstation studios, regardless of the platform status they are still working on them in tandem with the parent company.
@Ra3vr3
Yes, I'm sure Starfield which was in development for years prior to MS buying them, was just going to skip the largest console user base because specific platforms weren't accounced, for literally no valid reason, when bethesda has been releasing games multiplatform for over 15 years lol.
'I think Jim Ryan is a good leader of PS for Sony as a corporation, but less so for us as gamers. Not a patch on the past leaders of PS.'
For once I agree with you lol. Tretton and Layden were great, Jim comes across as very corporate to me.
I'm sure Phil will blame this on the lack of owning Activision yet.
