@OldGamer999 for me a wanted list means nothing.

The game has to release and deliver in a good state. How many times have gamers been shown great looking trailers and a game be nothing like it? (Across every publisher)

The first was never a big seller, the second that was extremely similar, no marketing, missing one of the bigger install bases (especially as this is Europe, barely anyone owns an Xbox). Was never going to set the world alight?

A better barometer would be the US where the install base is much better.

Fable probably but plenty of interesting titles

@Sol4ris both sites have similar to be fair.

Yet there are more of the Xbox ‘supporters’ (I use that term loosely) that care what Sony are doing than the other way round.

Constantly brought up, even in topics that have nothing to do with it.

It’s very funny.

When insiders make rumours about Xbox, fanboys say don’t believe them.

When it’s something regarding Sony it’s true.

Yet there’s this article -

https://www.purexbox.com/news/2024/06/black-myth-wukong-suffers-delay-but-only-for-xbox-series-xs

So they are just flat out lying now?

@Banjo- is it really against all odds when they spent £75 billion to acheive that?

But I do agree there are some great looking games.

I really hope this can handle a decent size battle.

AoE2 was one of my favourite strategy games back in the day when I used to have a pc. But the series S version started struggling past 100 units.

People caring about playing as male or female. In a make believe game.

@HonestHick a ‘summer 2025’ or fall/winter etc would suffice. That would give a 4month ish window which is pretty reasonable.

Im sure the comments here will be just as reasonable as on PushSquare.

But yep as someone has mentioned both companies have used various tactics over the years

@S1ayeR74 re read my comment. I never once said they were rubbish. I said currently we have no idea how they will turn out. They may be 10’s they may be 6’s.

Was a very good show, well paced etc.

Let’s hope the actual games deliver and are as good as the trailers looked.

@S1ayeR74 it was more my point is you are worrying if you made a mistake selling/buying a certain plastic box. Based on mainly cgi trailers, on stuff that is due within 2years. With no idea if the games are actually good or not. Or knowing what the other one is doing.

The best way is to be multi platform. There’s no worry or stress, you get everything.

@S1ayeR74 but showing a cgi trailer and a finished product can be different. The QC area is where MS have previously struggled.

@S1ayeR74 neither of them has masses of current gen games. Sure they will come for both.

@QuasidodoJr yes but then you also have to think that gears 6 had no release year? (If I remember right?!) so things can and will change probably

I probably should have added, it would be nice -from a player standpoint- for them to say games that would be multi platform are going to be 3/6month as Xbox exclusive (or something along these lines)

I know they won’t, but it would help to quell rumours, reassure people etc.

This will lead to a lot more speculation and rumours every time a game is mentioned going forward

Well I was interested in the campaign as I said in the live stream, but for how big the download is, plus all the other stuff it comes with I probably won’t bother for what is usually 4-6hours.

Im hoping this will run bigger battles than what AoE2 could handle on the S.

310Gb? Wtf. That is just ridiculous.

Hope they let me just download the campaign.

At this price, who are these for?

Most families will stick with the regular S for the kids you would imagine?

B.

Some excellent games no knocking that.

But a lot are some ways off and not a lot of gameplay shown on the stuff out this year. That’s why a B.

@FraserG yeah I expected that. Pretty certain it will be bad too.

So what’s monetisation like?

It’s their first game, so could just have been a time constraint? Or maybe as others said prioritise bigger install base.

Either way they haven’t shown gameplay so a delay could even mean it hits Xbox in a better state

The trailer didn’t mention consoles? Is it confirmed?

D. It was poor, there were a couple of sparkles on the turd.

Shame Xbox showed nothing at all, considering it’s a bigger/different audience

@NEStalgia @HonestHick you both make solid points. I find both the ps/xbox controller comfortable in my hands for extended play, stick placement doesn’t bother either (guess I’m lucky that way) like I say I guess it’s just more build quality/noise of it.

@HonestHick im the complete opposite I despise the Xbox controller. No not the layout . The fact the Xbox one just feels cheap and tacky. It’s cheaply made, full of clicks, the joins aren’t smooth. I guess I prefer the more weighty feel of the ps controller.

(Not to mention build quality, I was on 3rd Xbox controller within 12months, admittedly the 3rd one is lasting longer)

@HonestHick with some games porting, some choice words of not really confirming/denying, plenty of ambiguity and so on, rumours are going to circulate about anything related to Xbox for the next few months, then it will probably start to settle again

Game is just in dire straights right now.

Where is Phil, he’s been very quiet recently, on vacation? He hasn’t even popped up saying play XYZ

Looks much neater

@Sifi what has Sony raising prices got to do with Microsoft putting a game on GPU?

GoodLuck to them whatever they do next

@Sifi it’s like Sony lives rent free in your head. You live, breathe and think blue!

Unicorn overlord is a very fun game

@BacklogBrad hifi rush, hasn’t done as well, and has quickly received a price cut.

It will certainly win awards for art/sound etc

@Sifi oh look turning something straight to Sony. Why PX allow you to turn every article to this is beyond me. Especially the ones that have nothing to do with Sony.

Just let ninja theory have their praise for what they have delivered

I’m happy that the people who are playing it are enjoying it.

But more importantly I’m happy to see it was a release in good shape (as all games should) runs well, no bugs. Definitely an improvement on recent first part releases

Unicorn overlord is very good, I’d highly recommend it.

It’s up there with the best looking games certainly

See now that’s a nice one. Much better than some of the recent ones

@PassePartout sorry I’m somebody who enjoys numbers and stats. I find them interesting and you can often understand things far more than a random number

@Banjo- because sites are reporting it as anywhere from 5-6hrs? Gamesradar are saying it can be done in 5-6 to 8+ for full completion.

72% of what? 1000? 20000? I hate part information

@Sifi what has Spider-Man got to do with it. 0?

Why do you have to bring Sony into everything. Game has nothing to do with them.

Hundreds of games didn’t win awards.

@Ep_13 an outlier? There’s sites giving it a 5/10.

We know you are a huge fanboy, it’s getting 81 on metacritic (still great btw). So it’s pretty much on the money.

I genuinely thought it would review higher with critics, to those who play it I hope you enjoy it
