IronMan30

As much as I love seeing Jim Ryan cry, AND I DO, the thought of MS merging with ActiBlizz is just gross.

Okay, that was more a way to make you read my comment in the Dr. Evil voice than anything, but this does set a not so good precedent.

The Cave was a pretty good game, but calling it a "classic" is a bit of a stretch. I'll give you cult classic, sure, but I remember thinking it was fun and not much else.

I am, because I first bought it when they officially released the Xbox Series X version. If I'd played it a decade ago, I'd probably feel very different about it.

Microsoft can buy ActiBlizz, but those rewards were just too much!

Tbh, I find MS' approach to be logical. Sony is lucky they plan on putting games on PS, at all.

Yes, Microsoft is practically dancing for nickels thanks to Sony.

I'll play and love it. I'm sure it will be one of my favorites of the year.

Hey, if it helps your case...why not?

I pretty much expected it to run at 30 FPS. It's a massive game, by the sounds of it. Hitting 60 is probably very difficult.

I can't imagine why they'd close the studio other than to possibly relocate the employees. Even that is extreme.

Arkane or id could make a great Halo game, imo.

I have no doubt it will look great.

@NEStalgia I look it as Id helping out is the MS equivalent of "Monolithsoft helped develop this." I.e., MS/gaming outlets will say it for a while.

Nice controller, but I'm not spending $80 on it.

That's bad news, for sure.

Looks like Assassin's Creed if it were in the SW universe. I'm all for it. Not paying full price for it, but excited to buy it when it's $15.

Sounds good, sign me up!

I'm extremely hyped for this game. This looks exceptional.

I want to see actual gameplay, I've noticed the trend of "in-game engine" footage for a while and it's kind of irritating.

Game still looks very promising, fwiw.

I graded it an A. Excellent showcase for Xbox

Graphics looked too good for me to think otherwise. Also, Idc if it's at 30 FPS, if it's consistent. This game is going to be great!

@Cherip-the-Ripper that's a possibility, tbh.

A lot of padding, but some decent announcements. I gave it a B.

Sandland is one I'll keep an eye on. Bamco is pretty consistent with Xbox support, so that's nice.

Which reminds me, I still need to get Tales of Arise!!!

Congrats, hope to see it (and the rest of your games) on Game Pass in the near future.

So, basically, how I approach every livestream event. I can live with that.

Won't top TotK, but will surely be my favorite non-Nintendo game, this year. Really excited!

Nice bonus, I'll watch it on my Series X.

Watch it live. It's at a good time of day to do that, for me.

Maybe it's time for me to get into this series, but I'm still neck deep in Tears of the Kingdom. Starfield is looking like my next game.

Banjo Kazooie
Fable footage
Conker
Killer Instinct new characters or sequel
Crimson Skies 3 with a remake of the Xbox game
Avowed gameplay
Perfect Dark gameplay

Hey, if I'm dreaming might as well dream big.

This is one reason the console wars makes less sense with PS and Xbox than the 90's. They have 95% of the same library and have since Xbox entered the market.

Hyped, haven't played MGS3 in ages.

I've been having a blast with the game, myself.

Idk if I like this take.

By George, I think this will work!

As much as I despise PS fanboys, it is still true that MS deserves most of the blame for Redfall turning out poorly.

But it is commendable that Phil owned up to it. And I feel like MS will right the ship as fast as possible.

I feel like this game will become good. Now, the question is who is the main culprit for the release model of "release it now, fix it later" mentality. At least in this instance.

As is my typical mantra, I'm glad Xbox is my third-party machine first. It has third-party games in spades.

While I thought it looked okay, pre-release, it was slightly worrying they weren't really explaining what it is. Unfortunately, this feels more like a Fallout 76 situation than it should.

Let's hope this game is good, but the review embargo is yikes.

Haven't bought it yet, but I plan on it when it's discounted.

Edit: I legitimately didn't think this was a common sentiment, but here we are.

Pffft, that's fake.

This really shouldn't change a thing, except maybe reinforce the idea that MS needs to focus harder on getting more quality games out on a consistent basis.

Come on, we knew this wouldn't suck.

Ah, so it wasn't (nominally) because of Sony. Unexpected, but Jim Ryan isn't cryin'.

I like Grubb, but he was absolutely bodied.

Dishonored is the next game I need to beat after finally beating Fallout 4. I can wait for 3. Lol

It's probably due to the shadow drop, as I'm sure others have noted. It kind of seemed destined to be niche when I saw it. Reminds me a bit of a Goichi Suda game. Great game, either way.

ES 6 should absolutely NOT take another decade.
