Given this game has no endgame grind, the fact it came with New Game Plus at launch is better than a ton of games in this genre. Played through the game solo and co-op, and my character kept all xp/levels and collectibles as the joinee so the 0 progression complaints confuse me. Story is pretty short and quests are quick to complete otherwise, so that added xp is much appreciated for leveling up.
Gun variety was pretty slim and there were a good number of things that could be fixed. However keep in mind folks that this was made by the support studio Arkane Austin. Arkane Lyon based in France is the studio behind Dishonored and Deathloop... They have already been focusing on other projects. Not to mention this game already had future content planned such as two new characters + the 60fps update. I'll for sure loop back around to play if they get some Qo updates integrated with that, but I'm not expecting infinite replayability by any means.
What I'm getting out of this is irony. Playstation for years has paid for timed exclusivity. Full games like Deathloop, DLC a month early on Call of Duty, and exclusive legendary weapons/gear/content in Destiny 1 & 2. So many games are PlayStation/PC only with releases for Nintendo on the way yet still no mention of Xbox. They have controlled the gaming market themselves for years, yet panic when they lose a single section of it. I get exclusive & timed are different, but it's not like Microsoft has ever had a ton of exclusive titles on its belt to begin with.
@Ralizah Publishing costs for formatting a game to different hardware would be a large reason. GP would actually just be cloud-based if on Playstation, so it wouldn't be running on the hardware at all. Only Xbox would have the ability to play things in their true capacity, but the option to play anything anywhere is what they offered. For instance, if you have GP & a Samsung TV you would be able to play Starfield when it launches, no gaming console necessary.
