The reality of it is that it's not MS eating the cost. It's the thousands of people who just got laid off. The lack of quality offerings. Mismanagement throughout their game division. All telling signs of what's really going on behind the scenes.
After all those words, Gangsta, I have a question: If GP is so great, why aren't games like Elden Ring, Hogwart, NBA 2K23, Madden, Fifa, or the like NEVER on GP? These games are some of the highest selling games that are available on XB. Using Elden as an example, MS sales only accounted for 19% of total sales. According to the latest metric, Elden sold 17.5 million copies, showing that MS's community only purchased 3.3 million copies. 3.3 million of 20 million means that less than 17...
Sorry, Orchard, it is not "smarter" for consumers, as spending money is the ONLY way to sustain any industry. People who only accounting for their own benefit are the same ones complaining after a luxury taken away. It's crazy to see how many people are celebrating giving as little as possible while the company supplying their needed source of escape remains at the bottom of every sales metric a cross the board. Who does that? Narcissists, opportunists, losers, mosquitoes and le...
I guess you're a pro at everything that you attempted for the first time. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a prodigy in our midst. Let's give him a round of applause.
It's not irrelevant when it's documented, while assumptions are because they're unfounded.
That's what's up, bruh.
I do spend at least 5k on my Tvs/sound systems, but I cook and eat top shelf as well. I'm not sure what 41 year olds you know that eat horribly to own Apple products, but that's not an environment that I would choose to frequent. You shouldn't assume that everyone's finances are limited, though some may be. Porsche, Ferrari, Rolls, and Bentley all have been doing well in spite of all the recession talk. That's because there are some who are dedicated to living in comfort f...
Until Fromsoft confirms it, there's no sense in assuming. I'm going off what Fromsoft said as opposed to what I think, as my thoughts are not important against data.
Well, since you didn't like that question, how about this one: Prove that any cross gen is holding back current gen? Much like PC games can throttle features on and off due to GPU limitations, so can devs with the PS4 and PS5.
To prove this point, I played Crisis Core Reunion in its entirety on PS4. Upon booting up my PS5 version, I saw a huge difference in AA, load times, FPS, and textures. These are commonly the standard features that have to be adjusted between a hig...
You see, the difference between my statement and yours is data vs. speculation. Elden was documented by FromSoft as selling 17.5 million. You're assuming that 2.5 million more copies were sold because that's how assumptions work. From has not gone on record stating the 20 million that you're claiming blindly has sold.
Illustrate in what ways that GoW was held back?
17.5 to be exact, with a little over 41% sold on Sony platforms.
What? Doesn't Sony also have digital sales? They always try to make excuses for XB.
A shell, huh? Sad? What's been sacrificed with Sony's desire to get into live service gaming? How is this decision any different than them venturing into games, movies, or music? Cross play was demanded by their audience. Did you overlook that detail? We are still using DVDs, CDs, and Blu Ray now, so what else needs to be pioneered? Are you included within the inner workings of their R&D department? Seems like you just wanted to say anything contrary to the article and the above c...
This game definitely has my attention.
I absolutely hate to say anything negative concerning a topic of Metroid, but dammit where is Prime 4? I'm okay with remakes, remasters, and the like, but at least have a new version of the game on the market, too. This game has been a trilogy release since the Wii, but now everyone is celebrating because they're giving you the drip treatment. We wonder why Nintendo is decades behind the competition because everyone does a song and dance to play the same old games. They canceled the W...
Given that I purchase Nintendo consoles for Metroid games but set the bar? To be fair, it set the bar for a Nintendo level game but not genre defining enough to inspire other platforms. Prime is one of my all-time favorite games, though as a true FPS, it leaves a lot to be desired. It was a great Metroid game in 1st person.
What parent would continue to reward an irresponsible child? I am aware it happens, but why?
Yeah, I do seem to have that effect on certain types. Though they're nature to aggressively advocate for their preferences just goes to prove my point. They're the equivalent of fans spitting on the players on the opposite team. We all saw the aftermath of that exercise, so they'll be regulated to their rooms with little to no real social interaction worshipping games that made them feel great. I'm used to the type, I've been in the industry long enough. I've always ru...
I'm not understanding what all the dislikes are for.
