Re: Xbox's Phil Spencer Says Console Wars 'Don't Help The Industry Grow'

FriendlyOctopus

@UltimateOtaku91 If they didnt, then Sony would have. Making Xbox smaller. Making the availability of the games shrink. It doesn't take an expert to understand his point on this, and unless you're looking at it with a bias pair of goggles, you should be able to fully comprehend the notion of business.
You'd be fine with Sony having times exclusives but as result it would shrink Xbox ecosystem which in turn would limit the work Xbox is trying to do, and that is making more games.more accessible. Like PC, and cloud. This is whining considered you tedious

Re: Reaction: Halo Infinite Caps Off An Incredible Year For Xbox Game Studios

I think it's fair if not overly obvious that anyone giving it a C is bias to a favourite system and anyone giving it lower is here in vapid hope to negate all the success of Xbox. it's become painfully sad to witness some of the most pathetic and poorly covert gamers scurry on here to try downplay everything Xbox is doing right. They know who they are. Is it insecure issues or is it just the need for attention? To constantly look and nitpick problems so that they can feel better about whatever it is they need feeling better about is kind of, well, tragic. Either they're trolling or they are genuinely of a negative dispositions which in turn leads to a propensity for whining and baiting and indulging in a disputatious desire to climb some metaphorical superiority high ground. It's strange, and God imagine knowing them in real life, energy vampires the lot of em. Furthermore tho it must be hard for them seeing Xbox games overall score surpassing PlayStation 😂😂😂

I just think, every time I see their comment, "wow, they made time to write that, they come here to actually complain and argue"

Tragic

Re: Halo Infinite Dev Issues Lengthy, Passionate Response To Multiplayer Criticism

FriendlyOctopus

Y'know, this is the exact issue with the gaming community. Something is offered up free to play and still, a volume small or big, consisting of self entitled gamers, produce a deafening scale of complaints that though some might be valid, are more often than not, petulant and ignorant and arrogant and greedy. Books, films TV and games are all mediums in which creative minds have made for our enjoyment but at some point it's got to be recognised that your choice to play or purchase a particular medium doesn't immediately warrant control. it's a contract, right? You see what they're offering and decide whether you want. If they don't meet your expectations then don't agree to possess or play the thing they're offering.

it becomes this digital mob mentality which wouldn't ever have happened in the days of analogue. It's nice that we can comment and they listen but it should be illustrated strongly how they don't have to listen if they don't want to. I fear that when any developer tries to open the hand of communication many gamers will bite the fingers off in a ravenous foamy fit of self entitlement 🤔

You'll always find no shortage of things to complain about. If you ask the internet how you can improve you'll find no shortages of outraged players. I

Halo has been a main focus point for the ever changing bipolar opinions of critics and gamers and it's not out of passion, predominantly it's popular to leap from one wagon to the next, whichever harvests the most views. You got disingenuous gamers who review bomb and leave dirty comments here and there, you got self entitled fans who feel like they're owed met expectations and then you got gamers who enjoy a game for what it is. The internet has most certainly been a helpful platform for the first two.

And breath. 😂😂😂

Re: Halo Infinite Just Gave Us One Of The Best Live-Action Trailers In Years

@SpaceSamurai I left the site, well, I left commenting on it 😊 I avoid the comment section on truth.

Can I just say to the admin though, as someone who has left the comment section so I don't get bogged down in negativity AND so I don't get drawn into the drama, having articles literally showing comments from other sites was depressing. I started to feel really positive about gaming and your website has been really helpful with latest game pass news and reviews, reminded me of the old xbox magazine and I enjoyed that. I do hope the reddit stuff stops. If it doesn't I understand it's your show, your call. But yeah, that's just my two pennies 😁🙂😀

Re: Bethesda Unveils Launch Trailer For Skyrim Anniversary Edition

FriendlyOctopus

So far, I've learned that you can upgrade on the game pass version and that although the graphics aren't that specially enhanced the game does play a hell lot smoother.

You have to go into the creation club to make sure they're all downloaded and installed. Luckily press Y, downloads all. I

Personally for me, it's revitalised the game yet again, having so much more to do has made me once again obsessed with Skyrim. From a courier handing you a mysterious dinner invitation to finding some badass oblivion armour on a dead guy. There's more to explore and more to do, I'm loving it.

However you might need to go into the creation club page and find out how to find these things which, is sometimes a tad annoying.

Either way really glad that gamepass allows you to still update it

Re: Reaction: Looking Back At An Excellent First Year For The Xbox Series X|S

FriendlyOctopus

Walked into GAME the day pre-orders were being gobbled up. Managed to pre order the last one. It was a smooth transition and have been playing my series X ever since. First game was Valhalla and loved every second of it. 😀 then it was Watch dogs and the Ray tracing blew my socks off

Thanks to game pass I've never had nothing to play. I buy more games when they're on sale, too. Or, seeing as I knew Forza was coming out I knew I could spend the money on a non game pass game and got Lost Judgement. 😍

My wife got my Xbox S and she loves it 😀

Re: Bethesda Is Still 'Absolutely' Focused On Making Single-Player Games

FriendlyOctopus

@chicken_chaser Same here. It would be awesome if they were to allow someone like Obsidian or Inexile to develop a fall out game. Seeing as Bethesda inherited it themselves, it'd be nice to share the IP with other talented Xbox studios. Alas, either way I'm super excited to play Starfield and to see what awaits in the next elder scrolls games.

Now, if only there were images of the enhanced graphics for Skyrim 😎
