Re: Activision Blizzard Thinks Sony's 'The Last Of Us' Can Help Justify The Xbox Acquisition

@jordan1992 Wow dude, you do realize that words can have different meanings based on how they are used in a sentence right? Like when someone says they are buying a "budget item", that is short speech for saying they are buying a "low budget item". The term "budget" does not always mean cheap. When a corporation announces it's annual "budget", it doesn't announce it's annual "cheap".
And wow, you literally defined the term "budget" with "limited budget"!!! Seriously, how do you function in a society without this understanding? I am honestly amazed that you have. You are mocking me for your complete lack of understanding basic language. Keep facepalming and digging that hole though...

@theGoodChap I can agree with you there. It is getting pretty crazy overall with gaming. Lot of rugs being pulled out from under established IPs and fanbases on both sides. I will say that I do believe most of Activision's games will remain cross-platform. Some of them are too big of a cash cow to pull exclusive. But, you'll get the whole "buy it on PS5 or get it on Game Pass" comparison.

@jordan1992 this isn't sports. Business doesn't function with equal cap space and draft picks. If companies want to dump more capital into "buying itself to the top" they can. They are risking more capital by doing so. And the fact that this doesn't even put them over Sony, negates that point. This merely makes them a legitimate competitor again with the dominate Sony. If Xbox then proceeds to buy EA and Ubisoft, then I'd be getting concerned about that.

@theGoodChap you sure attributed a lot of things I never said from your high horse. I'm rooting for a closer parity. Sony has dominated the market and will still lead it after the acquisition. It'll just be closer now and that's healthier for competition. Sure, It'd be nice if just everything was utopia cross-platform. But then everyone would just buy the stronger console, which is Xbox. If I am calling them hypocrites, am I not by definition, saying both companies are doing the same things in this area? But yeah, that's somehow "unadultered fanboyism"... Oh please...

@UltimateOtaku91 I like how you keep saying it's unrelated, then proceed to talk about how little involvement and money (you think) Sony will get. The show will most definitely boost sales of the game. The fact that Microsoft has needed to make all these purchases to just be a formidable competitor shows how far ahead Sony is right now. Didn't see the FTC saying anything about Sony's huge lead before Microsoft bought Bethesda. Just shows how ridiculous this all is. But I get it. You are a Sony person and you want your exclusive CoD DLC and XP Boosters...

@kihaennem Think you are confusing enhanced with a remake. This was intended to be true to the original and they don't have as much control over the assets to reskin it like they did with Perfect Dark. With the insane licensing and shared rights involved, it was a miracle we even got this! Assets remain, just resolution scaling and lighting changes for the most part as well as controller scheming.

Re: Reaction: Xbox Needs A New, Reliable Competitor For PS5's 'DualSense Edge'

I mean, I'd like to see Elite 3 push it to the next level. But lets be honest here. Xbox has had the best controller since 360 era and it hasn't even been close at all. Sony finally, starts taking design advice from Xbox and then Xbox is immediately behind? No, it's still the best controller easily. But, I do agree I don't want XBox to get complacent. I want to see them adopt the new magnetic system that supposedly ends drift problems. Drift is the biggest plague on gaming right now. I love my Scuf Instinct and would like to see Elite 3 replicate their rear buttons as well as the mouse-click triggers vs the rear paddles and trigger stoppers. A big thing they could do would be to open up controller settings and allow community uploads of controller settings that could be downloadable to your controller. They could really be on to something with that if done right. Could have streamers link their configs and have a ranking system for the community uploads.

Re: Report: 343 Industries 'Hit Hard' By This Week's Job Cuts At Microsoft

I mean, they haven't really done much of anything since the game launched sadly... They really just need to open up Forge and let the community run with it. Let there be a Forge maps mode that will play the top community maps and then have a method of inducting the great ones into the regular circulation. Since 343 can't seem to make more than 2 maps in a year and a half...
