Microsoft didn't manage Halo well and devalued their own IP(hence, why they want to buy established IP's)
343 as developer also deserves 60% of the blame. Their own incompetence dragged this IP down the gutter too. Literally built a studio from the ground up for Halo and it went down the drain. Delays, broken games, and no sense of direction either, hurt the studio also. Being the rich kid on the block dont mean $h1t if you cant be creative with their own organic IP's.
Indies provide fresh new ideas and variety to games where AAA is sometimes the same bs you played a few years ago.
Dont get me wrong AAA games are important too, but, if thinking you need more big names to account for your subscription value, you feel extremely disappointed with gamepass.
This still hasn't come out yet? Are they going to play that video sequence again where that giant dude is wrecking her crew, because they spammed the hell out of that ad.
No bias here, you will enjoy the main story of the game, but, once you beat the game their isn't much to do which makes endgame really boring. You will definitely meet some good ppl who will help here and there and getting random loot to decorate your house will get addicting until it doesn't give you the same feeling. If you're starting now, the content will be there. I've played since day 1 and been in and out of the game since then because the content is so little.
Still think Fallout 76 is mediocre and it not all that impressive, the community is what sells the game in my experience with it. The Pitt was atrocious.
The merger should go through, on the basis that ActiBlizz games are going to be exclusive to the xbone. So in that sense, it will definitely make Sony more Pro-exclusise to its own games and even third party games. Meaning better competition. I just want to point out Microsoft getting the deal is good FOR xbox players not the whole community. With Microsoft proving that Bethesda games will be exclusive moving forward I assume most other games will too.
(Except for; COD, Tony Hawk, WoW, and Overwatch because why lose on easy money).
Says the boss that only 3 games that are exclusive and arent very good except for Forza.
I get it that ppl dont like them but in imo, exclusives is what gives the console/brand a identity. I get Xbox hasn't been popular in that front as of lately or for the past 10yrs really, Xbox saying gives it less credit. I am definitely supportive of crossplay and such for live services.
If Nintendo said this or Sony I would pay attention.

No. Its done.

Re: Xbox Activision Blizzard Deal Approved By Chile Authority
Who cares if the smaller markets approve it. Their big money comes from America & Europe and they're on the fence about it.
Re: Fallout 76 Continues To 'Grow Significantly', Now Boasts Over 13 Million Players
@Kilamanjaro
Fallout 76 is good way to get into the lore because it keeps the story simple(imo). I am also getting Monter Hunter Rise been waiting for it.

Re: Talking Point: Could Microsoft Be Interested In Acquiring Netflix?
I hope they dont, Microsoft will have way too many things to handle. Maybe buy shares and get exclusive content.

Not surprised. I am sure Sega will eventually patch it.
It just sucks they have to wait a bit.
Re: Activision Confirms 'Premium Release' Planned For Call Of Duty In 2023
Not full price honestly.
They would have to release or showoff this "extra content" because it sounds like BS, so they can charge us $70.
Re: Halo Infinite Developer Talks In Depth About Why Local Campaign Co-Op Was Cancelled
That's not the only thing they cant commit on.
343 should just surrender the franchise over to a development studio who can do it better.

All I gotta say is, I hope it doesn't feel outdated.
Re: Xbox Wants To Know What Needs Improving About Microsoft Rewards
PlayStation could learn from this, except they think about cash and not the reward.
Re: Two More Games Added To September 2022's Xbox Game Pass Lineup

They should rethink that launch window.

Re: 343 Explains Lack Of Communication Over Halo Infinite Season 2
How many times is 343 going to get a pass?
I dunno, sounds like they admitted to fuc**** up.
Ever since Halo 4 they been "over promising" and "under delivering" for quite a while.
Re: CrossfireX Continues To Suffer Outage Issues On Xbox Game Pass

And my poor Switch being neglected 😔
Re: Gamers Warned To 'Choose Console Carefully' By Retailer After Xbox Activision Deal
I see no bad intent here. If anything, is it the truth if you're going to play COD games 3 to 4yrs down the line.
Re: Sony Acquiring Bungie For $3.6 Billion, Studio Will Remain Multiplatform
@GADG3Tx87
I bought the collection and all I have to say is it was worth it.
I like them by this order
Persona 3
Persona 4
Persona 5
I thought 3 & 4 had the better tracks to play over and over.
Re: Sony Acquiring Bungie For $3.6 Billion, Studio Will Remain Multiplatform
I very curious to see if Sony will use Bungie to breath life into Resistance or even Killzone(Guerilla games are going to milk Horizon for awhile).
Bungie's experience could help alot of small Sony studios.

Re: Talking Point: Will Call Of Duty Become An Xbox Exclusive In The Future?
I dont think so, Cod makes too much money to be put as a exclusive.
Re: Activision Blizzard Games Will Come To Xbox Game Pass As Part Of Acquisition
Xbox making that big splash to bolster the gamepass.
It just says alot about Xbox and their creativity, just buy companies should be their new motto.
