@BlueOcean @UltimateOtaku91 Just to contextualize this er, debate? The comment made by someone was insinuating people are saying Xbox has no games, which is an old rhetorical argument that no longer is true, hence why myself and Blueocean were like "who says that?" Because clearly nobody can say that anymore. Then Ultimate otaku said PlayStation has more games than Xbox. which is also true when taking in account the JrPG's etc. I'm summary, we all agree Xbox has games, so the comment that Xbox has no games is debunked. Let's not make it about who has more lol, it's a pointless argument.
@UltimateOtaku91 So really, the argument here is PS5 has more IF you're into JRPG's. If you're not that heavily into JRPG games then Xbox provides more. Guess it comes down to personal taste in games
Double fine, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Bethesda. These are just some of the reasons why Xbox is gonna kill it. Can't wait to see what's next for all studios but especially double fine!
@Blessed_Koz He makes me cringe lol and I honestly think he was pandering here as people were accusing him of being paid for praising Halo, also when he praises Xbox he gets moaned at for being a fanboy so he'll make a video criticising Xbox just to keep his other fans happy.
That aside he's just always wrong in my opinion lol
@UltimateOtaku91 Poor stadia lol. Yeah it would be nice to see a new player enter the game so to speak. Things would definitely get more competitive. It would be exciting regardless and I think you might be right, with all their acquisitions it does seem like they're building up to it.
Halo infinite for me but that said Pyschonaughts 2 came very close (I wasn't paid to say this lol, there seriously are some people saying halo reviewers were paid to say it's good LMFAO)
I heard a preview praising it but seeing as this is Destin (who was convinced metal gear remake was gonna show up at state of play) I'll be sure to wait and find out for myself. Destin is a weird guy, he has weirdest complaints and is always off target with predictions.
I remember making the choice to go PS4 after having owned a 360. I was certain Xbox was going to go down like Dreamcast, but then one day I see a Xbox one S going for cheap and as I'm buying it the sales assistant tells me about gamepass. Well, my PlayStation soon was devoured by dust. Series X was a no brainer for me, especially after hearing about them buying Obsidian and Bethesda.
@Fenbops Sounds hideously like forced scam drenched digital capitalism which in on itself is poison to the whole concept of video games. This makes me sad.
@Trmn8r That, that is exactly the kind of thing I expect Michael Scott from the Office to fool for lol. What a dreadful idea. I see why people would be against it
Such a massive shame seeing as the campaign was so much fun and such a hit and you know what, they could make money with story DLC, they don't need to do this overpriced cosmetic stuff and I know it's only cosmetics and it doesn't ruin the experience but it does feel greedy and unnecessary
I don't play multiplayer but I can see why this would disappoint players
Also can I add that I'm really liking this website. I use to haunt trueachievements for my Xbox news and stuff but found this during a Google search. What you guys do here is brilliant and I really like the layout. Have a happy Christmas
I think it's starting to hit home now good Xbox has become, with games like Hellblade 2 leading the front of next gen gaming. You know I was thinking about why have certain fanboys taken to the comment section to shout downgrade or to try convince everyone it's rubbish because it's on Xbox and all I can think of is, fear. I think they're scared that Xbox might change things up too much and change can be scary for people. Buying games and playing the traditional blockbuster use to be Sony but now Xbox is stepping up, like they did in 2001. They're not dreamcast, they refuse to die off, but with their aggressive tactics and heaps of money it must scare certain fanboys that they'll dwarf the competition. Why else be so angry about Xbox getting better at games? Game pass is video game of Netflix and we hear a lot about comedians joke about owning physical media now, I recall people saying DVD's were a fad, and VHS won't die. I'm not saying Sony will die, I think PlayStation will be around for a very long time but I do think Sony fanboys don't truly believe that themsleves. With game pass and Xbox exclusives looking as good as hellblade they don't have much room for justified negativity like, remember Xbox has no games, funny how that argument went deaf. Then it was Xbox has no good games, huh, that's gone too. Now Xbox does have good games and now they're revolutionizing gaming with cloud gaming and game pass, it does seem like a massive shift and people aren't good at adapting to massive shifts.
Guess what I'm saying is, the fanboys trying to muddy the waters are just worried about their preferred console. Don't be guys. Sony will adapt too. Change isn't always bad.
I'm excited for this Game, also broken age which is out tomorrow too. The gunk looks like a classic Xbox game as in it reminds me of the classic games from the original Xbox era.
@UltimateOtaku91 Yeah these kind of games are perfect for Game pass I think for that exact reason. I think evolve was the Crystal ball to how these kind of games die out. Fun for a blast but eventually fizzled out. I liked back 4 blood. World war Z too. I don't play them anymore tho lol.
@Richnj I think back at the time it would not have been timed. Xbox were out for blood after Sony released the massively popular PS2, AND, Sony called out MS lol. On top of that Sony dominated so hard the Sega Dreamcast died. Xbox was fighting hard. They just made a bad choice. 2021 really seems like 2001 all over again. Sony has the throne, Xbox is looking to take it from them, which means we all, as gamers, are going to get better deals and better games. Just look at what Xbox has achieved this year, expanding on gamepass, delivering critical hits like Halo, Forza, Flight MS, Age of empires, Psychonaughts 2, and Deathloop. PlayStation has been lucky that contracts were predrawn but coming into 2022, everything Xbox owns is going to be exclusive.
But this point in particular is fascinating because had GTA been a Xbox exclusive I do have to wonder if they would have suffered during the Xbox one era, when Xbox exclusives clearly took a back seat, we might not have ever gotten GTA 4 or 5.
Daaaam. Imagine a parallel world where PlayStation made Halo and Xbox did GTA 3 lol. But really though how weird that gta 3 nearly came to xbox. I loved watching the documentary on youtube, that while pitch where Gates went mental then was all like "I love it".
@KilloWertz I get your point but I just don't think Yakuza is THAT big of a fish. I'm sure MS know more than we do and hopefully they got the right data to work with. My opinion stands dude. But it's just an opinion. I'm no expert lol
@Chaudy What I find sad is how people like him.have an issue with people discussing Xbox on a Xbox site. If I made a comment about why Xbox is better over at pushsqaure I would understand, but it's like he's purely here to try police Xbox fans from being too much of a fan...on a site called purexbox lol. Ah well. Hopefully admins deal with him. If not I'll just ignore and block him.
@WallyWest LMFAO you're surprised of the fanboys on a Xbox fan site? Good for you, you still buy games, here's a shiny medal. Leave people to their own devices dude, we get it, you prefer PS5, maybe you're in love with it, nobody cares. Xbox is amazing Game pass is the future and Sony is a dusty brand of hype. In fact, I'll say ps5 is lame. bare bones games and over priced tosh. Xbox for halo, forza, Bethesda games lol. I always see your comments freaking out at people praising xbox...On a Xbox site lol.
if the reviews are good I might actually spend money on it lol. I definitely think it looks cool going by this preview and you know what, seeing as Halo was day one Game pass (had it not been I would have brought it) I might just take a leap and buy Crossfire X. Either way how cool to have another console exclusive in just two months time. Forza, Halo, the Gunk, and Crossfire. That's four exclusives in just under four months. Wow.
Lol people trying to amount the leaving of Yakuza as a significant loss. Been on the service long enough and there's loads on the service to keep the bar high. naturally the pessimists will want to see this as a calamity but really it's just typical of any streaming Netflix style service. Xbox has already announced tons of games coming next month and many more next year and with the likes of starfield it's safe to say yakuza leaving isn't the end of the world.
I just read that this is made by former left 4 dead developers and writer. According to early testers it captures the left 4 dead soul way more than Back 4 Blood and has a very early valve feel to its gameplay. This seems like a perfect Game pass addition and, just maybe, a really great game
@Agnostic ah yes the mighty prophet has spoken. On the other hand I think this looks fun and hey if it's not then at least I haven't spent any money on it. Game pass keeps giving us the goods
Yakuza games have been on the game pass for aaaaages. It sucks to some go but I'm assuming their player count isn't really that high anymore seeing as they've been available for so long. Glad I played through them when I did though
