IMO it'll probably sell good just like usual. If GP sees a jump or COD sells great, MS will be happy either way. They'll get a huge amount of money on the MTX alone. The only way I see this being bad for MS is if sales are extremely low and GP sees no growth at all. I think it being in GP will get people that normally wouldn't play COD to try it at the very least. Regardless, it's the consumers that win in this scenario, which is what MS should be focusing on anyway IMO.

Besides Console Warriors, I dont understand why anyone cares where a game goes or not. I'm the consumer, it's my job to buy/play the games. The Financials is for the businesses, not the consumer. As long as the Big 3 keep providing me with Hardware and Software, that's all that matters to me. I could care less how much Company A made, or how many units Company B sold. Just don't go out of business and keep the product coming. Play what you want, where you want. We should all b...

I'd wager a guess that the Real Life Horizon Lego Sets did well enough that either side suggested making a game. It could be an easier entry point for younger people/kids that have the Legos, or just some extra content for existing fans while they await the inevitable 3rd game.

Was a decent time. Graphics and atmosphere are good. Story is alright. The monster chase sections were just annoying. My biggest gripe is although I think the story could fit into the SH universe, the game didn't give off the "Feeling" of SH. Take out the one little reference to SH and I would have never guessed it was a SH game.

It's fine if the developer wants 30 fps to be what they think is the "best" version of their game. They should though at the least give some option, even if making it 60 fps drops it to 1080 or 720. People like options.

I've been there multiple times, and it sucks. I feel for those that were impacted, but I don't understand the internet acting like this is the end of the world. It's a part of life/jobs. No job is guaranteed forever.

There was a merger and it's Jan. Every new year companies receive new budgets and evaluate their upcoming projects and workforce. Cuts will be made. It's an unfortunate side of business, but it happens. 1900 people is a big number, but compared to the employee total it really isn't. I've been there multiple times, a

The thing that sucks is Sony is seeing how popular this thing is....knowing that an actual portable PS5 (Vita 2) would sell like fire right now, especially with the current BOOM in Handheld gaming....and they will NEVER give it to us.

A Venom game would be cool, but I'd prefer if we get away from Spiderman for a bit. Maybe reboot Infamous or Sunset Overdrive.

I really liked Forspoken. The problem is too many people put so much stock in site reviews/influencer reviews/social media opinions. For most games it just takes 1 tweet that spreads and it destroys any chances the game had. Also people seem to be very weary of new IP. I know my tastes, I just need to know if a games runs well or not. I also liked Immortals of Aveum and Callisto Protocol.

I'm perfectly fine with no co op. They probably learned a few things with Dragons Dogma Online and figured this would be better staying single player.

Everyone has different tastes and different experiences. So far I've played 3 hours and it's nowhere near the horrible experience Social Media would have me believe. I'm on Series X and it runs pretty smooth. The Graphics are Stylized. They aren't amazing but they are not bad at all. A few times some small textures took a sec to load. The AI is not just standing there like ive seen in so many videos. It is just an Avg game to me tho. I'm having some fun but I'm not goi...

Not only did MS Shoot themselves in the foot in the Xbox One years, but they bought Devs right after and unfortunately it takes time to make games. It's going to take a while to get to the point of pumping out 3 to 4 AAA games a year. I also suspect they are holding back A Lot at the moment with all the ABK stuff going on. I think they'd like to keep the Status Quo until that goes through in hopes of not giving and Gov Bodies reasons against them. I could be way off, but that's ...

First you must recall that ABK wanted to be acquired. They would have sold all or pieces to someone eventually if it wasn't MS. I would prefer it be MS rather than someone like Tencent or Embracer. They are the two big ones that started all this buying up other companies at a significant rate, and I'm pretty sure more companies are going to keep acquiring. If this is the future I just hope that Sony/MS/Nintendo are the ones to get ahold the good ones.

I can't wait for this to be over. I'm tired of seeing it from both sides. People act like they know how business actually works or as if they are in the rooms with these companies. It will/will not go through and that's just it. Nothing "You" can do about it. All the accusations lol...these are big business companies. They all do the same good/bad practices, and it's all for money. Don't worry, COD will stay on PS for the foreseeable future. They don't make d...

In my opinion they Remake/Remaster do much because they sell. From what I've seen, most new AAAA IP don't do well. I think that's due to either its a mediocre game or what I believe is the biggest issue.....the Internet. If enough people say something is just OK or Bad, it seems that carries a lot of weight and affects the sales of new IP. Established IP usually at least has a user base already.

First off, it woul be a legally binding contract to keep COD on PS for the 10 years and then I'm sure they would renegotiate a new one at the end. Second, it is possible in my opinion that Starfield doesn't sell as well as they are hoping or it does way better......that MS actually decides to put it on PS. I think Starfield will be a test to see if exclusivety will work out for the new gen of big games on Xbox. Regardless I'm excited for Starfield.

I agree. I'm 16 hours in and I'm having a great time. The worst thing to me seems to be the dialog, but it's really not as bad as what people are saying. It's a VIDEO GAME, not a movie. The thing I hate is you see reviews (which are fine of course) but then influencers say DONT BUY THIS GAME!! Unfortunately too many people listen to this kind of stuff. I've always made up my own mind, and I don't remember the last time I bought a game that I thought was flat out horrib...

Hopefully they didn't project some stupid 50 million sold figures. I hope it renews interest and does enough to make EA remake 2 or just go straight to 4. Either way, I'd love Deadspace to continue.

I've played almost 10 hours and I'm having fun. It reminds me a bit of Infamous and Nier. Graphics are fine, music is great and the gameplay has been fun. Story is ok. Can it be a bit repetitive at times? Yea, but what game isn't. Is the dialog a bit cringe? Yea, but we are talking video games. Games aren't Shakespeare. It's a GAME, not a movie. I think too many people put stock in many reviews or influencers. I'm fine with someone doing a review, but when they start s...
