@Markatron84 Here's a novel idea, how bout not give anyone special treatment? Shouldn't that be the end goal, or do we just want to keep the pendulum swinging? This isn't equality...
@Widey85 Sony always tries to trick people into thinking third party games are exclusive... Sleezy marketing, just show a game trailer with PS watermark and end with the "Playstation" phrase...
@InterceptorAlpha Bummer, you can buy Steam games, play it for up to 2 hours, review it, and still get refunded afterwards. Guess you didn't think of that one now did ya?
People love to "destroy" things for not living up to the hype. Everything Bethesda releases from here on will get review bombed for the foreseeable future.
@ZuneTattooGuy It won from just about every platform but the game awards. And even then, it won awards there. But keep rattling that saber. It can be your opinion that Deathloop wasn't good but referring to it as a "questionable" game isn't going to win you many followers. Guessing you hated Dishonored too? Blade is a character that could totally fit that stealth/action play style.
A bland Ubisoft Open World game?!?! nO wAy?!?!??!?!?!@#!@#$ SMH Ubisoft seriously thinks they can just copy paste the same crap and slap new paint on it. Stop buying this junk!
Marvel fatigue, Game won't be out til 2025 or even 26, Exclusivity is still being negotiated, Don't want to toot their own horns early given the bad taste in people's mouths from RedFall (even though a different dev studio, people aren't smart enough to determine the difference given both say from "Arkane"). There are logical reasons.
Absolutely nothing is stopping the industry leading Sony from expanding their cloud and subscription services. They have both but have no interest in doing so. That is not anywhere close to a monopoly. Even after this merger, Sony will still remain at the top due to console sales and it likely won't change anytime soon. Abyad is a moron and has no idea what a monopoly is...
Microsoft really needs to be more considerate with this and have it setup to give a one month notice. These two week(ish) notices are not good for longer games.
First mistake was having a porting company Aspyr do it. Their ports have been hit or miss. If Microsoft did take it, it obviously should go back to Obsidian.
@FraserG You should cover (if you aren't planning on it already) that at the Meta event, the Zucc announced that X-Cloud is coming to Quest VR in December.
Tbh, this isn't as bad of a leak as it sounded. Most of the Bethesda plans were already expected sequels and a couple remasters, while the surprises are still coded to project names. The console/controller is a bigger deal for Xbox, though they aren't even really mid-gen upgrades.

Re: Microsoft Cuts 1,900 Jobs Across Xbox, Bethesda And Activision Blizzard Teams
This was very expected. When companies merge there's always overlap. and failing companies that are purchased are often bloated.

Re: Stalker 2 Is Officially Launching On Xbox Game Pass This September
A little later than I was hoping but it's something. Be cool if they ported or at least added the first STALKER to PC Game Pass in the meantime.

Re: Four Games Will Leave Xbox Game Pass In Early December 2023
@Decimateh That's exactly why I haven't started Sea of Stars. I wanted to finish Chained Echoes first, but it just keeps going!
Re: Four Games Will Leave Xbox Game Pass In Early December 2023
@FatalBubbles Seriously thought I had it beat then all of sudden I got Mechs now and a whole new combat mechanic? Lol
Re: Four Games Will Leave Xbox Game Pass In Early December 2023
I need to finish Chained Echoes. I keep thinking I'm close to the end then something changes. Game is very long, but enjoying it.

Re: After Just One Week, Paradox Is Already Admitting Defeat With The Lamplighters League
This is why you don't release a game that can't even run well. Too many devs think they can and just patch it later. People are getting sick of it.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Like A Detachable Disc Drive For Xbox Series S?
Sure, don't look that much slimmer, especially with the disc drive. I miss the days of PS2 Slim. Now that was slimmer!
