Unfortunately, due to the pass-through channel that GP creates, even when titles are purchased it only acts as reimbursement towards the cost paid for service inclusion. They're losing on both ends when gamers aren't spending to exceed the cost of GP. They'll need to raise prices to over $25 monthly to see a marginal return on their costs. This is only achieved with a sustainable community of subscribers though. With the opportunistic nature of current subscribers they know this i...

Hope it drops at midnight, been waiting to try this one.

In that sense, yes they are very unique in their controller choices, especially the GC that was interesting.

It doesn't, but it is entertaining exchanging banter online. I was laughing the whole time I was typing. These are the times when Orchard or Cruz would come in handy. No hugs required, not the affectionate type. A match or 300 of Tekken, Soul Calibur, Guilty Gear, Gran Blue, Blaze, or DNF would be more fitting. Let's fight like gentlemen.

Not really...The Wii was a GC with Power Glove tech. The DS/3DS was Game & Watch with Virtual Boy tech. The WiiU used the asymmetrical touch screen of the DS, using your TV as the top portion. Now the NES, SNES, N64, and GC were all unique in their own right. They stopped innovating a very long time ago.

So many people complain about a company that does exactly what every other company does. Every game is not going to be the most stellar experience; some will be mediocre, and some will be bad. I can't think of any company that just releases great products all the time. We've entered into a society that places far too much value on personal opinions, which makes every venture subject to heavier criticisms. Some say that they're not producing the great games that they once did. Isn&...

Exactly. It's always those without something that have the most complaints like we need their antidotes as to why they don't have it.

You sound goofy, bruh. Intimidate? Let's look at a couple of factors. Octopath Travelers was on XB, but not part 2. Perhaps SQUARE ENIX knows more than you about the level of return they receive. If they can't get a return on a title that went straight to GP, why bother? So, Sony is intimidating devs from putting games on XB? Not Nintendo, though? It can't have anything to do with MS only selling 2.3 million console in Japan over 10 years? MS only puts out as much effort as their ...

Why is there so much Spam going on in here?

It is definitely an experience that can't be discounted as a gimmick. I absolutely love where gaming is right now.

Adolescent antidote is an insult to you?!?! Wow, wasn't aware that we were so sensitive in 2023. If you can't clearly see that I'm from a different time where men are measured by working to afford the best not by taking on hobbies that we need training wheels to engage in. Your constant praise of GP is likely because it benefits you in some way, that's fine. Yours and my passion have lead us down different paths. Yours has lead you to cheerleading while mine has lead me to fur...

No adults who haven't placed their focus on maximizing their earning potential would value GP over buying. You see, there is a whole community of privileged, affluent, and willing gamers who don't have to depend on services. Imagine making over 300k and wasting your time waiting to see if the a game hits a service when you can just buy it. Most limited gamers do have to throttle their spending but they're not here making an ass of themselves speaking as though their limits apply t...

What?!?! People easily forget what they DON'T pay for since there's no real consequence behind the negligence. If people don't pay full price for games explain the Sony and Nintendo communities? Your statement is most likely true concerning XB only since they are at the bottom of every sells metric to date. As an adult, there's nothing more satisfying than supporting yourself and having extra to spend on what you enjoy most. This idea of GP substituting for a lack of spending ...

Don't discount The Walking Dead, After the Fall, and Light Brigade. The fun factor is unreal with these lesser known titles as well.

There is no point in attempting to speak reason with a community so desperate to be on the winning side. Those without talent always resort to stealing or cheating hence how MS was built to begin with. We can't expect those supporting an empty refrigerator to care about starving other because they've not eaten in so long. The homeless mentality is enough to justify any act that can produce an opportunity to eat. GP alone is equivalent to a shelter to feed those in need with little to ...

You guys advocating for COD to go exclusive are aware that COD is the Amazon/Walmart of shooters, right? My family wealth was built on the back of Walmart understanding that their inclusion in any retail environment kills anything smaller than them. Look at all the communities who's small business sector was abolished by Wal-Mart's presence. Much like this outcome MS is knowing that is the end result of their acquisition. Bill Gates is currently buying all the farmland along with Warr...

I had a frost bleed build that dismantled her pretty easy. My 1st time fighting her I brought within a sliver of her health, she still beat me. The second time I used the frost dragon to accumulate frost before shredding her with my blood katana. Dodging forward is definitely key opposed to dodging away from her.

Man, farming level 5s as we speak. The most satisfying souls game that I've played since Nioh, Sekiro, and Bloodbourne.

That's cool man, let's just ignore all the paid gestures the populate the deepest recess of the online stores. I guess Collisto is the only game worth knocking for something that's clearly a staple now. You never intended to buy it anyway so why even bother stating arbitrary reason of why you chose not too? People buy and support for their own reasons as well. Though the reason doesn't matter because their support speaks for itself. It's always somebody who didn't buy ...
