Re: Hogwarts Legacy Is Getting New 'Features' And 'Updates' On Xbox This Year

DennisReynolds

@Friendly Ark 2 and Stalker are timed. They haven't really gone after bug AAA games like Sony has but it doesn't really matter if its AA, AAA or Indie a timed exclusive is a timed exclusive. I mean there's that Warhammer MP game that is meant to be great, i really want to play it but i own Series S and its heavily gimped on there with a 30fps framerate and heavily reduced graphics so naturally i'm waiting for the PS5 version except of course who knows when that's coming due to the timed exclusivity. I'm not trying to defend Sony here it sucks FF7R is not on Xbox but i'm just saying both are guilty of doing the same things one way or another what i wish people here would just admit to and that's not aimed at you or anyone in particular its just the general vibe this site has in that Sony are scum and MS are saints.

@Friendly When did Sony start the spending spree? Because Sony started going hard on spending after MS bought a lot of Devs and then Bethesda. Seriously why do people on here twist and make up facts?

This Gen MS has had way more timed 3rd party games then PS has and it even has more timed 3rd party games coming then PS5 has. Fun fact you know how Sony pays to keep games off Xbox? Yeah MS does that way more, the amount of games that release on Switch and Xbox but not on PS until a year or two later is amazing.

Fact is Sony and MS do the same things and always have, neither are angels but remember MS entered gaming by trying to gobble up Nintendo and if Phil could get his way they would try and do it again and we know that for a fact.

@Widey85 MS also blocked Persona 3/4 PS5 versions and fun fact MS have more gaming studios then Sony does far more. I wouldn't be shocked if Palworld is barred from PS5 for a while as well. MS do all the tricks Sony does and another fun fact the 360 dominated the PS3 most of that gen but then Don and his lacky Phil decided to crash and burn the Xbox brand.

Re: Microsoft Hits Historic $3 Trillion Valuation On Same Day Of Xbox Layoffs

@Kaloudz End of the day you're on a Xbox site, Xbox is your console of choice and MS makes Xbox's. You aren't going to call out MS because that would mean being negative about the Corp who makes your favourite gaming toy. As i said gamers especially younger ones tend to lack empathy as they never really had to deal with life. You caring or not about those sacked isn't the point though its being pro MS on something that is news that only benefits MS higher ups . Funny enough this attitude is quite common here hence why i rarely comment on here.

Re: Talking Point: Do You Think Xbox Will Release Another Disc-Based Console?

DennisReynolds

The Series S have proving they don't need it. I think the real question is will the PS6 be disc based or not. Either way disc based consoles will be gone within 2 generations ignoring Nintendo of course as they won't drop physical media just yet. I game exclusively digital now and i watch my Blu Rays/DVD's on my region free player so no matter what happens it doesn't impact me.

Re: 'Indiana Jones And The Great Circle' Gameplay Has Landed, And It Looks Awesome

DennisReynolds

I thought it looked pretty bad to be honest. The 1st person view doesn't suit Indy and makes the whip combat look really rough and awkward and is that an AI voicing Indy? Because that "acting" feels extremely lifeless and wooden. I get they didn't want to make Uncharted or Tomb Raider (games inspired by Indy) but yeah this doesn't look good at all and the uncanny valley is strong with the Indy model as well.

Re: Talking Point: Do You Think Xbox Will Ever Stop Making Consoles?

DennisReynolds

The fact this is even a question kinda says it all. Gamepass is what MS cares about and if Sony and Nintendo allowed Gamepass then MS would be over the moon. Xbox is on its last legs, it will have a next gen but i suspect that gen will phase Xbox out and phase GamePass box in with many 1st party games hitting other consoles. Phil's admitted Xbox lost and MS have been tightening the Xbox leash pretty hard this past year.

Its sad to say it but the Xbox brand died E3 2013.

Re: Bethesda Has Started Responding To Negative User Reviews Of Starfield

DennisReynolds

@VokDaWiibSlayer You sound like a person who just wants everyone to blindly praise the thing you like. Steam reviews require you to own the game if you want those reviews to be treated with worth and Steam reviews funny enough are for people to you know review a thing they bought, its not a feature for you to suck off your favourite corp or dev its there to say what you think about the game. If someone doesn't like a game they full right to express on something that wants them to express their thoughts and opinion even if it makes people like you salty for some reason.

Also before you call me a hater i loved Starfield but unlike you i don't care if strangers say they don't like it on the internet.

Re: Reaction: Should We Really Be Surprised By 'Declining' Xbox Console Sales?

DennisReynolds

@Lup Fun fact Xbox had more 1st party games coming to it then PS5 did this year and from the sounds of things the same applies to next yes but yes sorry Sony is the only one that does exclusives while MS happily didn't cancel PS5 versions of Starfield and Redfall and isn't making the likes of Hellblade 2 exclusive or paying for timed exclusives like Stalker 2 or Ark 2.

Re: Xbox Might Be Losing Its Microsoft Rewards App (And Weekly Streaks)

DennisReynolds

@Kaloudz Well you see that's the thing Phil likes to group everything together with the "ecosystem" buzzword to make things sound better then they are but i wouldn't be shocked if parent MS are wondering why they're even bothering having a games console if the money is only coming from PC and Gamepass (what hasn't seen growth). From the sound of things MS is starting to clamp down on Phil's free reign hence the price increase for console and games, Rewards being gutted, Gamepass $1 sub offer being nerfed, Gold free games being dropped (less value for Ultimate subs) and so on.

Re: Reaction: Looking Back, Xbox Has Had Some Strange GOTY Omissions Over The Years

DennisReynolds

@Belkan They both do it and have been since the start, look at the 360 era with MS making sure to keep Bioshock off PS3 for a good while as well keep Mass Effect exclusive for years or getting timed GTA IV DLC. MS are just as guilty and actually do it more and still doing it to this day. As for buying studios yeah Sony bought a very very small handful last gen so MS decided to buy 2 massive mega corps along with endless other studios changing the game. Sony are no angels but neither is MS.
