Re: Xbox Building A Handheld 'Makes No Sense', Says Former Blizzard Boss

EVIL-C

@TruestoryYep Couldn't have summed up Sony better. Sony has completely lost their way with PS5. Worst generation of PS ever by far. Their once great now dormant IPs, while their embarrassing live service stuff all gets cancelled, is the death blow for me. ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ˜ข
PS just sells cause it's PS. Switch can't handle many 3rd party modern, big-budget titles, and Xbox does miss out on some major Japanese stuff, plus apparently has "nothing worth playing", so PS5 is the default safe choice for many.

Re: Hellblade 2 Is Getting A Physical Release On Xbox, But Not By Microsoft

@Balaam_ LRG is a joke. Now they're distributing Switch 2 key cards. They're could've said no and remained principled, but nope, they chose money over conviction. Not to mention Scott pilgrim requires an online connection, D was printed on low quality CD-Rs for the 3DO, causing many to not work at all, old chips were used for Shantae and other recent carts produced by them, to name a few. Garbage company.

Re: Xbox Price Hike 'Just The Beginning' For The Industry, Says Analyst

EVIL-C

Somehow in the minds of magadonians/magapotaimians, etc, paying a worker in Asia a starvation level wage, while Americans got to enjoy the largest, most robust economy for a century, combined with their cheap consumer goods, these things are unfair to the US, that the victims of this exploitation are "ripping Americans off" is so comically insane and detached from reality, that there may be no hope left politically, especially Americas far-right. Chump knows literally nothing about economics, global trade, currency, on-shore industry building, etc... We're all so screwed. Impeach and convict the tyrant is what needs to be done.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2's Crazy Game Prices Could Be Terrible News For Xbox Fans

@Kaloudz There are certainly those like me who'll bite early, lol. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I just likely won't buy as much for S2 as I have for S1 without either some discounts, used physical games, or Nintendo decides to listen to the criticism and reduce the software a bit. But I agree with you that S2 will probably do alright, certainly not Wii U territory, lol. ๐Ÿ˜…

Ahhhh I see now. Somebody on that marketing team should have done 5 minutes of research on the electronic Google machine before deciding on that statue design, lol. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But was it worth yet another internet meltdown? No.

Ah yeah the stadium level was definitely awesome. ๐Ÿ˜ DNF wasn't great, but it was enough of a novelty and guilty pleasure that I still found enjoyment from it. I'm probably too easy to please, lol.

@Kaloudz Last year, actually. My first game was Duke Nukem 64 from way back when. I adore the Duke series, even Forever I liked which most hated, but it was enjoyable to me. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

The AC Shadows thing I'm barely familiar with, at least the Torii gate element. There's some historical evidence for Yasuke maybe being real, maybe fictional, we don't know, but the main point with AC that the vocal online minority forgets is that it's supposed to be historical FICTION.

How relevant is Duke to a lot of audiences these days, if we're being honest? I doubt a lot of younger Gamers even have any idea who the character is. While I don't personally think the blowback would be that big of a deal, especially depending on the form the game takes, but until the publisher grows a pair and announces a new entry, it's open to speculation.
I remember there being a new Leisure Suit Larry game released as recently as 2020, and nobody gave a crap about that, and that series was known for being objectifying and raunchy.

I don't have terminal online social media brain rot, so I don't care about these hollow online controversies. Every side is doing it. It's ridiculous and beyond nauseating. I really couldn't care less. If something looks interesting, I'll check it out.

@Isolte @Kaloudz Comments like these always puzzle me because we have no shortage of violence in gaming; it's as violent as ever, yet that's not an issue.

Then we have games like Stellar blade which got most of its attention due to Eve's ass and her various outfits.

GTA6 is likely to be raunchy as hell, and that's likely be GOTY and sell 100M+ in no time.

Maybe I'm just the oddball in that I can separate reality from fantasy; don't act like or treat real people in real life like how some of these games depict their worlds. *Shocking * ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
To me I think the perception that another Duke or raunchy Saints Row would fail doesn't quite match reality. ๐Ÿง

*And for the record I enjoyed the Saints Row reboot from a gameplay perspective, at least as a co-op game w/ my friend, as we'd done with 3 and 4.

Re: Talking Point: Next Year Marks A Decade Since Xbox's Genius Backwards Compatibility Program

EVIL-C

@nomither6 As angry as I was with the XBOs launch, and ultimately going with PS4 at launch, I eventually got a XBO S on launch and quickly gained appreciation for it, the BWC really being a key factor.
Also bought a XSX at launch, with an extra controller (on the same bill), and through a mix-up/clerk error with returning that unopened extra controller a few days later, the store accidentally refunded me the entire console, which they never noticed! ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚

Re: Xbox Fans Create Master List Of 1100+ Games With 'Play Anywhere' Support

EVIL-C

@Major_Player They're still salty about cross-play, and their majority hates even the idea of GamePass (regardless of the reported financials), so I'm sure play anywhere would be one of the worst things ever to them as well. ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

For Nintendo, well, every switch game is essentially "play anywhere", lol. ๐Ÿ˜
