Re: Redfall 'Deluxe Upgrade' Leak Gives Us First Evidence Of Xbox Price Increases

Gamingforlife

@Seioni well i found it funny when poeple says "you dont have to buy it when its out wait for discounts" ...wow thats something i didnt think of...if most of gamers around the world wasnt wating for discount to begin with to purchase their games!!! you know how those will be affected? discounts are counted by percentage ...so you still have to buy them more expensive on discount comparing to old times!!! if you were to buy games brand new for 60$ and 30$ after 2-3 years (not COD tho) now you will get it 80$ new and 40$ after 2-3 years

@WallyWest how old are 10? You dont understand metaphor?
For buying studios they always can and they will lets wait fpr this to finish even phil said were not done... So you know better than phil you Mr. CEO?

Games will sell but you dont understand how large companies dominate an industry MS will endure a lost to dominate the industry!! You lose todat to win tomorrow

And they can always buy 3rd party exclsusivity and create studios from veterans...
Its you who just dont want to beleive that microsoft now means business and this is a free world yes you cant buy half of the industry but you can take control of most of it..ask windows

Re: Report: EU Commission Preparing 'Statement Of Objections' Over Xbox Activision Blizzard Deal

@WallyWest i said if activision didn't go thro!!!
70 billion can buy half of the AAA gaming industry!!!!! Let me feed you some big publishers worth:
Ubisoft 2.8b
Take two 17b
Bandai namco 13b
Capcom 6.9b
Konami 6b
Square enix 5.8b
Sega 3b
Cd projekt 2.8b
Koei tecmo 5.8
Embracer group 5.8b

Imagine microsoft can buy these with that money and still have change....
You underestimating money power...
Let me tell you something... Microsoft wasn't serious about gaming with xbox it was like a small side business for them but now with how much gaming make.... Microsoft is going full in starting with bathesda activision and we will see more... In the 4 gens of gaming i never saw microsoft serious about xbox till this gen.... They will buy and buy till they get blocked and will grabe every compititor into an endurance war of loss (gamepass) to grow fast

This is the thing... Microsoft will buy there way up like it or not... For me as long as gamepass is fed i don't care but it maybe come a day we regret being fans tho if xbox is in total control

Edit: they call MS the sleeping giant for a reason... Microsoft (bill gates) go the company to the top with bad blood watch a documentary about the past but his now a good guy so microsoft is nice too but they still ruthless in business and grab compitition into endurance war and buy them in the end... Sony pissed them off and i dont know if microsoft will take it personally

Re: Report: EU Commission Preparing 'Statement Of Objections' Over Xbox Activision Blizzard Deal

@WallyWest they cant buy others..... Rejecting a world record aquasition in gaming doesn't mean you cant buy smaller ones... They wil buy many publishers still... Maybe 2 like ubisoft that is suffering and sega.. And they can buy as many studios as they want... Lets not forget how much money they can put on 3rd party exclusivity and exclusive contents as thats like money change for microsoft

Re: Poll: How Would You Grade The Game Awards 2022?

Gamingforlife

xbox series x is a great console and i loved it last year ... but it was gathering dust this year i only now play on my gaming laptop...
man microsoft have 25 studios and 2022 was so emptyyyy so emptyyy and they now raised the prices and 2023 seem ok but i will be honest starfield maybe the hugest game in years in xbox system... but redfall looks like an ok game....that the issue their is no WOW experience in xbox and they are not good at choosing 3rd party exclusivity deals aside of indies
i love xbox but i think im moving on

Re: Unity Shows Off 'Gorgeous' New Tech Demo Running On Xbox Series X

Gamingforlife

@gamma64 from all 5 generations i was in this is difinitly the slowest I've seen...and it still didn't feel like next gen... You know even with the ps4 lunch we felt like wow look at those gorgeous graphics and then huge rich world came in with the witcher 3.... Now unreal engine and unity making some increadible showcase for their engines but devs aren't jumping in so they can target the 140 million of last gen users

Re: Pick One: Which Is The Best Xbox Game Studios Release Of The Past Two Years?

Gamingforlife

the list is good for 2020 ...but 2021 was bad for xbox 1st party...GP was the only shining star for Xbox this year but they HAVE TO MAKE 2023 "THE YEAR" we need starfield to be great..we need redfall to be great and we need Forza Motosport to be great....and even this isn't enough!! stalker 2 and a surprising game like avowed should be in 2023 ..
You need all of this just to start "competing' with sony, and despite what happens to ABK buy Asobo !!! you need a 3rd party cinematic game for your system and asobo got the talent !
xbox need 4 or 5 1st party or 3rd party exclusives a year with 2 of them being excellent quality to catch up to sony

Re: Hogwarts Legacy Looks Absolutely Stunning In New 40-Minute Gameplay Deep Dive

Gamingforlife

and its even more stunning with all the ''cuted'' Dungeons and quest exclusively on Playstation and you know whats more stunning...their is a hole shop exclusive to PS players.....
xbox i swear to god i was being very reasonable last 2 years as a returned fan to your platform ....no exclusive this year and clapping for GOW Ragnarök everywhere on twitter doing them free marketing when sony is literally punch in you in the balls for the AKB aquesition and with content exclusivity and blocking games from GP .....
you better start punching back because im fed up

Re: Xbox Exec 'Looking Forward' To Playing PS Exclusive God Of War Ragnarok

Gamingforlife

ok MS i was nothing but reasonable as a fan ...i know that you had only 5 studios by 5 years ago and most studios are newly bought or already realsed their games multiplatfom not long ago...

i was happy with Halo infinite and horizon 5 scorn too but you gatta start delivering heavy weight games quarterly to compete !! as reasonable fan thats very aware of the all the problems and love the brand.....you have to stop being bruce banner and transform to the hulk and start smashing

Re: Obsidian Next Xbox Game Pass Title Has Gone Gold

Gamingforlife

@Sakisa i have to agree along playground... I mean obsidian is one of the smallest studios under Microsoft with 300 employees but still just released grounded and will release pentiment and working on the avowed which look amazing from the leaked pre alpha SC... And working on outer world and saying they want to work on fallout new vegas 2!!! Those guys are gold... Meanwhile other studios (except bathesda and playground) are sleping in honey... Lazy and i always picture them eating donuts in hall... 4 years and more no game release no gameplay lot of reboots and bad news

Re: Rumour: Xbox Initially Planned To Launch 9 Exclusives In 2023

Gamingforlife

@InterceptorAlpha you said it...microsoft! not xbox ! dont mix both....gaming is diffrent and the consumer are very demanding ! dont mix it with a profissional software dev were you make a software to be used for business or communnication and thats it!!! in a game you got more than programmers! you got artist designers writers .... this is entertainment business and xbox not microsoft is the on taking charge and xbox had 5 studios that was multip. by 5 in a short time! they need to gain experience to run such a huge numbers of devs and hire people from xbox office to observe and act to keep things under control

remember its xbox devision xbox brand is a part of microsoft group and they even have their own ceo

Re: Rumour: Xbox Initially Planned To Launch 9 Exclusives In 2023

Gamingforlife

@InterceptorAlpha no they just need instant solution business never wait...and yeah they got problems running their studios....but remember that only 5 years ago MS had only 5 studios and now they got 24 studios (without ABK) which is huge, but dont worry they just need experience and they need to establish 2 suppoting studios to help other studios to deliver on time...

MS need experience on running studios it will come with time and also they need more auditors and observers to keep them in check (i bet most of those studios staff is hidding in corners eating donuts

Re: EA Sees 'Tremendous Opportunity' If Call Of Duty Goes Xbox Exclusive

Gamingforlife

@BRT15 ...little we know about business but lets see what we think we know:
microsoft paid 68billion to buy ABK
COD make around 500 million yearly on PS
Microsoft paid soo much and they have 2 options as we can think of as small poeple behind keyboards:
1_ keep the game on PS and get that sure money
2_ make it exclusive and burn PS money but sell more consoles and get more subs on GP and new players that will spend money in COD SHOP and out of COD in xbox store and get that 25% cut on anything they spend...will MS make more money making it exlusive? i dont know...
little we know about huge companies and there priorities is cloud gaming is their eyes is the future and they will do anything to control the cloud market while the market is so open...i dont know....

poeple calculate it like 1.5 billion profit by COD 500m from sony so its 1500-500=1000b.....no its far more complicated than that only microsoft knows what their real plan is
