Re: Report: Redfall Was 'Immediately Cancelled' For PS5 Following Xbox Takeover

OrfeasDourvas

@Kaloudz When Elder Scrolls VI drops it will be a glorious day. I had a conversation with someone on Reddit the other day and when they couldn't substantiate their arguments, they turned to personal insults.
They called Pentiment and Hi Fi Rush bad and then brought up Spiderman 2 better because of its high Metacritic.
I informed them that Hi Fi Rush and Pentiment had, in fact, higher Metacritic score than Spiderman.
But what gets me the most is that they called Starfield and Redfall a timed exclusive.
It's amazing how people still think these games will come to Playstation when it's been explicitly said that this is not the case.

Re: Reaction: Should Xbox Produce A Mid-Gen Upgrade If Sony Launches 'PS5 Pro'?

OrfeasDourvas

I really don't see the reason. Xbox One needed an upgrade because it was abnormally weak for an Xbox. Series X is a beast.
Besides, Xbox One X made sense because of 4K. What would an X Pro do better? Ray tracing?
I think they should focus on getting a disc less Series X out or a Stream only option.
In fact, when next gen comes Series S2 should be stream only or portable imo.
Playstation could release a Pro though.

Re: Redfall Physical Release Won't Contain A Disc, Download Code Included Instead

Part of me thinks that the only reason they haven't completely done away with the case is contracts and deals with retail stores.
And that's probably not going to last much longer, either.
My only issue is that these giant companies are total hypocrites with stuff like environmental concern.
If you're serious about it, why not incentivize people to go digital by offering better prices that way?

Re: Talking Point: Do You Buy Less Third-Party Titles Because Of Xbox Game Pass?

OrfeasDourvas

Not really sure. There are definitely games I've played on GP that I wouldn't buy but most of these games I probably wouldn't buy anyway.
On the other hand, I have bought tens of games I wouldn't have even played because of Gamepass but on key sites which might not contribute to sales numbers.
So, for me I don't think Gamepass necessarily hurts sales except for first party titles.
Btw, at the risk of sounding like an ass, which I don't want to, the correct term is fewer games, not less. I just see that particular mistake often.

Re: Xbox Boss Still Thinks There's A 'High' Chance Of Activision Blizzard Deal Going Through

@Would_you_kindly Why though? Not only would you get to play games you like but you could play them at no extra cost with a GPU subscription. If more and more games you are interested in are only available on Xbox, and at no extra cost at that, not getting an Xbox to play them is on you.
If Nintendo had purchased Bethesda (in some bizzaro world) I would have gotten a switch.
Or a playstation or an Ouya.
