Well obviously something did change in the time between then and now.
Unless MS has new e-mails of Ryan saying the same thing right now this means nothing
Well Sony bought Bungie and there is not even a hint that they will be exclusive to PS. Sony loves money as well and its stupid to buy a mutiplatform dev/franchise then limit its reach. They are not MS that can spare to lose a few billions.
Agree that 3rd party should be left alone. Does not benefit gamers but only stockholders. Xbox gamers were going to get starfield regarldess. Paying to block acess for other gamers does not benefit xbox gamers.
The sa...
But again Phil said the console war does not matter hence gamepass?
I think everyone knew but I hate how Phil keeps trying to downplay it
Now it clear to see as many of us has seen this move to buy big 3rd party companies.
Its a clear move by MS to weaken opposition instead of them just doing better and make their own original dam games or make their current collection better aside from Forza.
Thought Lord Phil said that they don't care about the console war anymore? lol!
As i have been saying for ages. MS are only talking about not careing about the console war because they are being beaten
Also the whole point of buying up big 3rd party publishers is to buy success in the console war instead of earning it by doing things that console gamers really want
Console gamers don't want to block multi platform games from ot...
Depends, If SP story focused women gamers then great :)
Likely racist that are
Oh com on. I seen worse on Rule 34
lmao!! thanks for the laugh.Been a rough day. Needed that
lol!
And this is why i dont complain about the price for sp focused aaa games. I have been gaming since the atari days and i know the cost of games.
I buy games to keep. I only have time for games i reallly really want to play. So every gen at most i have 60 to 100 games in my collection depending on thr gen.
True. Ocarina is still the best imo.
That right there is the reason they are still not doing as well as they should
There was never a ciritcal generation. EVERY generation is ciritcal. The fact is every generation is a chance to start over.
Phil also forget that the most fundamental thing with gaming is the games. Pure and simple. Console gameing was built on SP games and matured on SP games. It still is the heart and soul of gaming. Look at games like Elder Ring or the latest GOW or the new...
The fact that he got way more slack than he deserves is a testment of the low standards xbox gamers have but indirectly shows how much clout he has with the MS higer ups because he puts company priorities like cloud business first
The man had billions to spend.
He has now had more than 6 years to fix xbox woeful 1st,2nd party games catelouge situation without basically anything to show for. How much was spent on Halo Infinte again?.
Ju...
Don't froget the time exclusives, then conent exclusive, then advertaising exclusive then first premeir exclusive and now just buying big 3rd party outright to limit games on competing consoles
Man, what I would do with 60B if I was the head of xbox
1. Buy at least 20 up and coming devs in different game genre in different regions with a budget of 10B
2. Bloster the ranks of these dev house with more talent that would fill out any gaps they have spending another 5B
3. Build a global managing group with top of the line talent to manage and coordiante a global strategy of game developement among these 20 teams using another 10B...
Whatever Phil.
Nah they have the talent. They just don't have proper managers/business leaders that know when to step in to help and when to stay the fuck away and let the talent do their jobs.
Remember sea of theives? Feel like ages ago.
MS always had issues with managing studios and partnerships.Seems like nothing has changed
Now likely they will manage Bilzz-Acti studios as well which is nuts
Exactly what I have been saying as well and my biggest fear. Its the netflix effect. Filler shit just for the sake of having somehting
If this is the furture of gaming instead of games like TLOU or Witcher 3 then I do not want any part of it
Why I will always prefer SP focused games that I can play a few hours a day then when complete I would just put in my game collection
