Maybe you recognise the value of Gamepass, maybe you like Halo, maybe You like Forza, maybe you like Sea of Thieves, maybe you want to play the multitude of indy games that make up developer preview, maybe you use play anywhere, maybe you're into backwards compatibility, maybe you're already invested in the ecosystem, maybe you want to play multiplats on the most power...

You've just "negated" your own argument.
@Yellowgerbil
***"And also like how you didn't dispute apple or Nestle"***
I didn't dispute your other points because after absolutely tearing apart your initial argument, I expected to find the same flawed logic and sensationalist reasoning there as well, it's simply not worth my time.
@ifrit
Fair enough. +1 for your honesty.

***"Genuine question"***
Never a genuine question, when you use the word "excuse" in the following sentence, you've already made up your mind and won't listen to another point of view.

No.
Spencer stated that VR was not the focus for Scarlett right now. He never ruled it out.

***"You're the one that first brought up the measure, so maybe you're the one that needs to answer why it's somehow taking away from AAA games"***
I thought the answer was obvious.
If you have a team of 100 devs and 30 devs stop working on traditional projects and start development of software for VR, the traditional projects will suffer. This may manifest itself in the form of delays, the release of l...

No.
Do you realise how ridiculous your comment is?
The Columbian murders were ordered by franchised "bottlers" because of a dispute over union rights. The actual murders were committed by an illegal paramilitary organisation hired by these bottlers.

Atrocity; An extremely wicked or cruel act, typically one involving physical violence or injury.
I agree with you that 2K's business practices have sometimes verged on the side of "questionable" but atrocity is a word I more often see describing w...

***"I havent noticed sonys vr games taking resources away from their AAA games"***
How can you even measure that?
How do you conclusively state that Insomniac's Spider-Man would not be sitting at an 88%+ Metacritic score as opposed to an 87% and be an even better game if Insomniac had not also been working on games for VR?

@Chev
***"It's a new way to game and opens up options for gaming"***
It would take resources away from studios working on first party games to work on VR titles that even on PS4 on a device that has been available for almost four years make up only 5% of the user base.
Lack of traditional first party titles has been the single biggest complaint about Xbox this generation, they are addressing this - people would complain if...

Ad hominem:
Short for argumentum ad hominem, typically refers to a fallacious argumentative strategy whereby genuine discussion of the topic at hand is avoided by instead attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, or persons associated with the argument, rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.

***"I've played some great VR games, I got to play HL:Alyx in the summer, amazing. It's just not our focus with Scarlett"***
I do think that Phil Spencer was too quick to dismiss VR as a novelty in a statement recently, but I agree with his sentiment that the focus for Scarlett should be what the Xbox platform has lacked this generation - diverse, high quality first party games.
Looking at the Twitter response it seems the majority are i...
Easily one of the best games of 2019.
Not to be confused with the Outer World's, also one of the best games of 2019.

I agree.
In all honesty, I actually went into DS with quite a pessimistic point of view.

I probably should have been more specific, what I actually meant was that at least the article was grammatically correct for the most part, unlike some of the submissions that make it to the front page of N4G on occasion.
I usually use this as my first criteria when trying to decide whether an article is likely to present a constructive review or be the opinion of a fanboy f...
