@Dezzy70 I personally cancelled my preorder a few days after the most recent delay as they mentioned the PC version was done (debatably a lie) but it was delayed because of the consoles, and look how that turned out. They'll get my money next year when it's dirt cheap on a steam sale and finally finished development.
@Dezzy70 It already sold 8 million copies before launch, recouping every single cent of development and advertising costs and became profitable instantly.
That's saying nothing, given what all consoles and all modes are turning in. Kinda embarrassing they have to resort to this as their only semblance of a win in power.
It's especially funny after CDPR's new comments that the actual current gen patch might not even release in 2021.
Oh look, Microsoft quietly cancelled Flight Sim for Xbox One (which I pointed out ages ago when all mention of Xbox One was removed from everything to do with it except 1 obscure Microsoft FAQ page)
Preordered, the refunded when they delayed because of the base consoles. Seeing how that turned out on console, I'm even more justified. I'll buy it cheap on sale next year when I've put a dent in my backlog.
@Hypnotoad107 Microsoft making games as "gamepass fodder". Quantity over quality. Like the coalition's new "AAAA" game as they liked to call it. Planned to be short and episodic on gamepass.
Will play it on PC over christmas, the best way to experience it. Buying it separately since I'll never support Gamepass and what it has done to Microsoft game design
@Medic_Alert 2 of 3 are not valid excuses imo, AC has been legendarily broken for years even when on 1 gen with multiple years worth of AC games on said gen. They're just bad devs and/or bad management for forcing it out. That and they don't care.
@SuperKMx Still takes away what was originally offered and requires a 2nd payment to maintain. Then multiply that by X amount of times they remove a game you want, which based on these articles, is likely a lot.
This is why anything less than 60fps is a technological failure. If it had been 60fps like it should have been from the start (but was instead not designed correctly for the hardware) this wouldn't be an issue.
So they didn't do what Gamestop Ireland did. They've been taking preorders for Xbox Series Mess and PS5 since last year, which got automatically converted over in the order they were placed when official ones went live.
Lmao getting an amazing kick out of fanboys promoting their console war in every thread until it doesn't suit the narrative because Microsoft are losing and it's all can't we just get along?!?
Plays great on a high end PC so you're in for a treat. Was arguably the best looking game there was at the time of launch, providing you had the hardware to run it. And based on SATA3 load times of 3-5 seconds, you know what to expect.
This is how the company views you. They released it and deemed the product worthy of your money. If you keep giving them your money, well you know what they say about a fool and money.
@Kefka2589 You're lucky you don't follow Aaron Greenberg on twitter. He's been ending every tweet since the announcement of project scorpio with #XGonnaGiveItToYa. I've never seen Deadpool either, but sadly everyone else in Ireland is still acting like it's brand new.
@Kefka2589 Microsoft have been running it into the ground for 3 years now and Deadpool for 2 years before that, I'm sick of hearing it myself. And I'm a huge DMX fan.
The drive does NOT take 198gb for the OS and system files. A 1TB drive only has 931gb of usable space BEFORE any OS or data or system files are factored in. This is because of marketing. A 1tb drive is 1,000,000 megabytes. However since bytes are measured in 1024, it eventually eats out a chunk when you divide it down.
@Darth_Stofi Bought a PCIE 4.0 NVME a few weeks ago, faster than PS5 (so almost 3 times the speed of the Xbox drive) 1tb for the same price as these drives.

Re: Xbox Rival PlayStation Pulls Cyberpunk 2077 From Its Digital Store
CDPR pulled it btw, not Sony. Literally announced by CDPR.
@Scenes Wrong, physical copies exist. And since console exclusive is a watered down marketing ploy for marks and fanboys it's still not exclusive.
Re: The Medium Is Now Ready To Pre-Install With Xbox Game Pass
@nessisonett I mean it technically does.....
Just not very well....

Re: 343 Unveils Next Year's Plans For Halo: The Master Chief Collection
Even though it's not gonna be part of MCC, can't wait for the standalone PC port of Halo 5.

@notleks_ I think they were just using that as an example
Re: Xbox Broke A Guinness World Record By Projecting Destiny 2 At The Top Of A Giant Mountain
@NEStalgia That's because it's an XSX mountain. PC mountain is the real deal. But at least it's not a Switch port of the mountain.
Shame Microsoft couldn't break a record related to developing gamea for a change.
Re: Halo Infinite Fans Call For Xbox One Version To Be Cancelled Amid Cyberpunk Debacle
@Cyrus29 It's funny, I get called a Sony fanboy on here and an Xbox fanboy on Push Square. All because facts and logic don't fit their narrative.
@JayJ So much ignorance in this comment I'm not even gonna attempt to correct it.
Re: Xbox Series X Offers The 'Best Console Experience Right Now' For Cyberpunk 2077

Re: Halo Infinite Fans Call For Xbox One Version To Be Cancelled Amid Cyberpunk Debacle
@Scenes No need, it's still requiring gold like every other "f2p" game on Xbox consoles.

Re: Halo Infinite Fans Call For Xbox One Version To Be Cancelled Amid Cyberpunk Debacle
@Scenes Halo still requires gold on console
Re: Halo Infinite Fans Call For Xbox One Version To Be Cancelled Amid Cyberpunk Debacle
@Scenes Still displayed on all of Halo Infinite's official details pages:
(requires Xbox Live Gold on console, membership sold separately).
Re: Halo Infinite Fans Call For Xbox One Version To Be Cancelled Amid Cyberpunk Debacle
@Scenes Nah, I don't play the waiting game, the only exclusive game Xbox actually has. Meanwhile I'll run with the published amd established facts.
Re: Halo Infinite Fans Call For Xbox One Version To Be Cancelled Amid Cyberpunk Debacle
@Scenes Literally says requires gold on console on all trailers and press releases. All "f2p" games on xbox need gold.
It'll be f2p on PC, need gold on Xbox.
Re: Halo Infinite Fans Call For Xbox One Version To Be Cancelled Amid Cyberpunk Debacle
@Scenes Sony developers are clearly a lot more talented with their engines and design than Microsoft developers though.
Your 50mil number is also off. There aren't 50 mil Halo players. Or 50mil gold subs.

Stop listening to Phil, he abandoned you 5 years ago.
Re: Halo Infinite Fans Call For Xbox One Version To Be Cancelled Amid Cyberpunk Debacle
Hey look, even more proof I was right that Microsoft were lying to you the entire time.
Of course the PC community knew this already because we don't believe every word out of PR mouthpieces.
Scalability works only goes so far. Eventually the lowering development floor drags down the ceiling.
Re: Xbox Studio The Initiative Is Making A New Perfect Dark
@NEStalgia Told you they were the worst
Edit: After all, Nintendo is ruining Starfox and F zero, just trying to keep it off other platforms! /s
Re: Poll: Were You One Of The 8 Million Who Pre-Ordered Cyberpunk 2077?
Didn't vote as my option isn't really there.
Preordered, the refunded when they delayed because of the base consoles. Seeing how that turned out on console, I'm even more justified. I'll buy it cheap on sale next year when I've put a dent in my backlog.
Re: Sony Still Seems Confident The Elder Scrolls VI Is Coming To PS5
Because Microsoft won't keep it off Sony platforms if it comes out after the takeover, so why wouldn't they be confident?
Re: Halo Infinite Will Feature No Pay-To-Win Elements, Confirms 343 Industries
@Medic_Alert It's a disappointing time in gaming when "I wonder what the monetisation model is going to be" is even a question on any gamers mind.
Re: 343 Knows The Visuals Weren't Great In Halo Infinite's Gameplay Demo
No faith, hope I'm wrong. Fire Greenberg.
Also remember that "work in progress build" they showed was 2 weeks old.

Re: Another Ten Games Will Leave Xbox Game Pass Soon (Dec 11-15)
@SuperKMx Pay twice to play it isn't my bag
Re: Another Ten Games Will Leave Xbox Game Pass Soon (Dec 11-15)
I love it when someone else says I can't play a game anymore.
This is why I'll never support gamepass and would quit gaming before doing so.
Re: GTA 4's Final Mission Is Ridiculously Difficult To Beat On Xbox Series X

Re: Next-Gen Comparison Highlights 'Clear' Assassin's Creed Valhalla Performance Issues On Xbox Series X
Posted this news (and a few other games running better on PS5 as well) the other day and got called a Sony fanboy.
How would you like your crow, fanboys? I know you see this because I live rent free in your head.
