The game really doesn’t look good the more i watch videos of it. i’ll give it a shot because i love multiplayer games & need more to play but damn this just looks so damn bland
@husker42c you didn’t like halo reach’s story? the game that did justice for the covenant and showed just how scary and big of a threat they really were before chief came along in later games and ran through all of them like a lawnmower
@TruestoryYep wow i love how personal opinions always leads to personal attacks with gamers. expressing your dislike for a game or hardware ? time to check your personal background 💀
Unfortunately , yes, i am buying the nintendo sh** 2, because of FOMO & because of smash bros and mario kart. i 100% agree with this guy though, but Nintendo is the golden child of the industry so any legit criticisms of their overpriced outdated hardware and overpriced outdated games or paywalled outdated online always gets glossed over
@KITG_Group_BrunoB my 360 is offline & i’m pretty sure the actual games are downloaded on the hard drive. i actually transferred one of the games to my PC via usb flash drive & all the game files are visible
@vrubayka people love when games play themselves , just look at $onys sucessful interactive movies & easy games like astrobot that a 1 year old could beat
@Techno92LFC i know right? why do these karen’s care? 😂 let people that don’t work for ms or any of these companies have their fun . this is incredible
@xboxjapanfan just because the latest 2 games of the gears franchise were trash (& judgement) doesn’t mean that the trilogy didn’t have successful mp. the later games simply sucked.
@Kilamanjaro game was a whole vibe back in 2018, i refuse to say “back in the day” because i can’t believe it’s been that long already! we need a sequel!
@Vaako007 you got sources? aside from casuals , i see more gamers on PC. The casuals that just play madden/fifa/fortnite outnumber PC players sure, but non casuals? i don’t know
@Medic_alert awesome, glad we could have a friendly debate. I actually like debating, so this was a nice conversation! do you know how hard it is to debate ( especially over the internet) without others thinking that it's a fight or someone taking it personal? haha
@Medic_alert "Everyone has limited time and money and unless you can afford to buy every game on every platform then they very much compete with each other for both your time and money."
Generally, yes, we have limited time and money, but it isn't about buying every game on every platform. It's about having options to play whatever game on whatever platform you like, when you like. And when we bring exclusives into the conversation, you NEED their hardware if you want to play their games. I don't understand why its (still) taboo for a gamer to have gamer things anyway, sure the companies are competing for your time and money, but why do we care? Were allowed to have them all and use them at our own leisure, options is a beautiful thing. We use options for everything else we own, with several different competing brands in our homes.
"Anyway, I stand by my initial statement that I don't believe this to be anything to do with PC sales - unless of course you have data to show otherwise?"
I mean, it's absolutely fine if you disagree dude. It's just my theory and opinion. I should have put "imo" in my first comment, but whatever. My only data (since i dont feel like researching) is anecdotal from what I see. Just an opinionated theory.
@EVIL-C I guess man. Surely theres future-proof discounted GPUs available. I did the same thing that you want and managed to get a whole pc for under $2000 with a GPU that wasn't current (3070) and its still future proof, so id imagine just looking for a GPU alone can't be that difficult. you also mentioned supply, so I don't know.
@Medic_alert keyword "rarely" - doesn't mean its never happened a couple times before. Also, what makes you think im talking about power when i mentioned PC? Theres plenty of people that own a gaming PC whos CPUs or GPUs are aged & dated hardware. Steam asks its users for surveys i believe annually, and every single one of them always shows that more than half of PC users have "underpowered" PCs.
i threw the competitor argument because you mentioned relative sales, so by virtue of you comparing sales - theres competition involved. I don't understand why it surprises you that i had a competitive response to a competitive statement, but ok.
"When you are talking about selling over 100m machines all media is in competition for your time"
Disagree. This is just generalizing.
"How you want to classify those things is of no interest to me."
It interested you enough to have a reaction to my initial comment and somehow managed to shove nintendo into the conversation.
"And handhelds don't always outsell the home hardware."
You mean like how underpowered consoles and handhelds haven't always outsold better hardware? Yeah, I know not to generalize.
"The Vita being the easy response but the 3ds didn't outsell the Xbox 360, PS3 or PS4."
I don't get whats the point of this. Handhelds compete with other handhelds, Nintendo Switch has no competitor. Actually it does, my bad, steam deck.
@Medic_alert People buy consoles for several different reasons, so that statement really isn't true. The series X made no inroads because of the massive failure of the xbox one, which by the way, was a weak console & part of the reason the xbox one sold so bad was because of it's lower resolution compared to the PS4, but obviously that doesn't paint the whole picture so why keep generalizing? The switch is a handheld console, so why keep comparing it to traditional home consoles when its clearly not a competitor? one minute its "nintendo is doing its own thing" to "nintendo is winning vs ms or sony", so which is it? Its no surprise that a handheld (console) is outselling consoles, that's nothing new, nintendo's handhelds have always sold big. The PS2 was on the market an entire year earlier with more third party support and a DVD player - again, why generalize instead of tell the whole truth/story?
My idea isn't any different from yours, you say that the switch 2 is taking away from hardware sales, and im saying PC is. I swear the nintendo bias amongst the gaming space is unmatched. the switch has worsened the bias for nintendo x10 over.
@EVIL-C but you don’t need the latest gpu , I’d presume any GPU that’s close to 2020 and later obviously are good. You can get them on sale but maybe they’re more expensive in canada i guess?
@Medic_alert That sounds way more far-fetched than my theory ever could. Why would people stop buying current gen hardware for a handheld console that’s 2 generations behind, and not even out yet? The switch 2 won’t even be on the level of a steam deck.
l4d2 is the GOAT zombie game. got it on pc and 360, but the games just so old now that i naturally moved on. still my favorite game of all time nonetheless
The legendary 360 and was blown away! best console i’ve ever had and the greatest console of all time! legendary online, legendary games, exclusives & content, and a legendary adolescent years! long live the 360 ! ill never get rid of mine 🤍💚🩶
also, thank god for hyperkin remaking the 360 controller, it’s still my preferred controller! 💚🤍🩶
@Lanmanna yes but i’m speaking mainly because of Xbox Live and just the overall collection of games that era. we still got new IPs and new ideas that were successful, xbox live arcade was revolutionary as was xbox live at the time
