I know this deal is about the money Microsoft will make ( look at king etc) but I really hope they put some of that money into making new Xbox games ( and a few older titles like crash/spyro) and not just good for the shareholders to fill Thier pockets
I don't in theory have a problem with not having exclusive dlc but ...... It's not like the others will play the same game ,which can still move players to other platforms
If after all this they don't at least get some games exclusive to Xbox I won't b happy ...at least a crash or spyro game or even both in one game that will pull in the players
@Meehanuk_1987 they are damned if they do damned if they don't ...starfield exclusive ...no we can't have that Sony was going to pay for exclusive... we will buy acti ....oh no u might make cod exclusive
Xbox has no good exclusives ....the problem is others don't really want Xbox to have exclusives .. as was tweeted earlier from Tom Warren as a quote from brad smith Microsoft has 58 games already running on PlayStation, Sony only has 2 running on Xbox. We've said that if this acquisition goes through, we're happy to make sure that there's a #59 with Call of Duty and no doubt others." Does that number seem fair at all ????
@Would_you_kindly you don't get the point do u ? The 10 year contract is to silence those ppl who say Microsoft will give then take away blah blah blah ,and they say one thing and do another ,it's not about whatever Nintendo's consoles can run cod or not ,it's about we plan to keep cod on other systems here's the proof a 10 year deal
@Bionic-Spencer this is it though they have been offered 10 yr deal (some sites are saying 15 years in the last few days ) and Jim saying in the beginning that they are fighting to keep cod in the hands of ps players,them saying no to that 10 yr deal is doing the complete opposite, why ? Is it cause then they can say see we knew it's what Microsoft wanted to take cod away blah blah , just cause the won't accept a big 10 year deal
@Kaloudz I hope this don't end up with ps cod players losing Thier loved game, but if it does they should thank Jim but they won't it will all be Microsoft's fault as usual
Smith has produced an envelope containing the deal paperwork he hopes Sony will sign - but it hasn't yet. He's waiting with a pen, or with Microsoft Office to print it off for them.
@GuyinPA75 the worst part for me is it's not about competition ,it's about the money Sony will lose when they won't have exclusive cod stuff ,if it was REALLY about keeping cod for the ps players a 10 year deal would be amazing for the ps cod players
Wow at this rate the only place cod won't be Is on PlayStation, thats it Sony u keep your ground saying it's for the gamers you'd doing it etc etc lmfao
I remember my daughter playing alien isolation on the Xbox one with kinect support for sounds , and me getting her killed by crunching on a Pringle ,she wasnt happy
@WallyWest it really isn't, Spencer said on the day they announced the takeover that Nintendo would b getting cod and that was before all the ***** from Sony so for all them kicking up a fuss has done nothing
I'm also not a Harry potter fan but I've gotta say this game is amazing ,it has everything i want ,plenty to explore and stuff to collect and it seems like I've only hit a small fraction of what is available ,it's gonna keep me busy for a while
I've just joined the purchased deluxe edition club, I hope it's brilliant and worth it ,then again it was purchased thanx to Microsoft rewards so no big loss if it's not as gd as I think it will be , just 3 months to get the points back lol
@cornholio005 I hope it's gd , from what I've seen so far it looks gd ...and it better be I've just got the deluxe edition, thank you Microsoft rewards
@PhileasFragg Part of me is hoping with all the talk on twitter about starfield being next half of 23 , is that they do a showcase about march and shadow drop the game at the end of the show ....I know it's a leap but I can hope
@UltimateOtaku91 Amazon dont own all of James bond only 50% of him they purchaed MGM not the full rights to all of James bond so not fully Thier choice , the rest is owned by eon productions and they are no pushover when it comes to the character
I can't fault the elite series 2 , I know a lot had problems but I love mine I can't go back to using a normal Xbox controller now it feels like a toy in my hands
The thing is about the ps edge ,its just come out and a lot of reviews are saying they are only getting 4 1/2 to 5 hours per charge ,what it's gonna be like after 6 months of use ?????? Luckily my elite goes for days when I'm gaming heavy and it's nearly 2 years old
I'll wait till later down the line for a really big price drop and see how the battery goes before I decide to purchase
Jim ryan : happy birthday , now your at that age where u shouldn't buy stuff ,how about you cancel the acti takeover ? Not that we are scared or anything u know
In other words oh no upper management has messed up yet again with Thier decisions let's take it out on the ones that do the hard work and do what their told by upper management ....next step letting some of those poor ppl go instead of sorting out the management
@cragis0001 you serious ? If you are .....This is news for ppl with disabilities that could help them , just because u are fine as you are ud prefer other stuff ? Wow it must be great to have the world revolve around u
@NEStalgia I'm not on my own !!!!! I buy ...will play soon , forget about it then see it elsewhere and find out I own it ....its the circle of life lol
@Tharsman thank you I'll check out the gameeye app , at the moment I have to go through my owned games library , the Xbox store is dodgy sometimes it doesnt say I own when I do ,eg Lego star wars I got the deluxe but the normal /deluxe pages on the store says I don't own it ...weird
I need to stop buying games badly and play the ones I have ,the problem is I forget what I do and don't own ,I'm at the stage now where I see a game on a website and think that looks good I'd like to play that ...then find out I already own it and have done for a while
And don't get me started on dlc ,I buy too much and don't get around to play em ,I just forget I own it
Edit : library says I own 685 and according to my friend last year I had hit 500 so deffo purchased over 100 this year
All the ppl saying it's cause of the relationship with sony . Ha no it's not it's money plain and simple, Sony pay square to have games excluded from Xbox platform
the see more doesnt work for me so if it doesn't for you ,after u have done the 10 guesses and got some wrong ,open a private tab do a correct one again and the sign in ,that way you can get the full 100 points even if u miss some
I loved it ...just pity they haven't fixed the last achievement I need for the full 1000,but saying that they have been pretty quick on fixes for the game so hopefully soon
Netflix are doing it , Disney plus are about to do it ,it makes sense Microsoft would at some point ,I won't b paying by ads but I can see how some low income families could benefit from this
I've beat the game but can't finish all the achivements till some fixes come out so I can finish them all , taken from ta
Your tracker for this achievement breaks any time you die or select ‘load last checkpoint’. That’s right! Any of you that loaded your checkpoint back for Globo or that robot TV ad unknowingly borked your percentage.
I am loving it , I've never watched rick and Morty so I haven't got anything to compare it to , I like the sick humour especially how they put it in to the achievements ( Complete the game with Stan's product in your inventory" ) That is sick but funny
@Sol4ris I agree with all except the buying up exclusive IPS ...then the narrative will change to. Microsoft paying all exclusive IPS that bad for the industry .... Goal posts moved yet again
@uptownsoul I'm not saying it's Sony fault I'm saying it's exactly the same acti owned the game rights taht was multiplatform then Sony stopped him being multiplatform
But Microsoft do it with say elder scrolls and it's bad
@Titntin because Spiderman was multi platform when acti owned the Spidey games license between 2010 to 2014 , just like IF elder scrolls was taken from ps it's exactly the same , one company held the rights it was multi then another company owned em and took em away
