Re: Xbox Wants To Provide A 'Steady Flow Of Great Games' Moving Forward

Stocksy

@lokozar halo was a flag ship game and campaign was 8 hours. Netflix shows are longer. Unfortunately the poster was spot on with their analysis and Xbox themselves here agree. They need a constant stream of games. Good games. With the occasional monster
Game mixed in. They want to appeal to all gamers. Not just ones that like 30 plus hours on a game. They’ve moved so people can play on devices whilst they sit and watch TV. Competing with the mobile games. THey know times have changed. They are doing the right things IMHO. We just need to see how good they are at seeing more and more good games in a continual stream. Not a continual stream of big named games that disappoint. We haven’t see disappointing games yet. But who knows when the volume cranks up

Re: Soapbox: Live Service Expectations Are The Issue, Not Halo Infinite

I have GPU. I have a XSX and I like others have said would rather pay for Halo. Get more content and a “beefier” experience and not have the F2P model that is being called GaaS here. That’s the issue with GPU getting ALL the games I’d rather a balance that some bigger hitters can still sell themselves and not have to have all the extra mechanics to get more money from me.

Genuinely always surprised when people celebrate sales figures of a product they own like a sports team winning. Especially when it’s clear this is about supply. But YEAH GO XBOX. Back of the shed. (Niche joke).

Re: Samurai Adventure Trek To Yomi Is Coming To Xbox Game Pass Day One

Stocksy

I’m not being funny but Xbox do the same and only advertise a game as coming to Xbox. Why is everything a console war. They are bits of plastic. Buy it or don’t buy it. Don’t be silly enough to feel like it’s a team activity. They a massive multinationals they just want your money.

On topic. This looks great. Really decent looking game.

Re: Halo Infinite's Multiplayer Lead Has Left 343 Industries

@InterceptorAlpha exactly. Nail on head. Focusing on delivering a rich Halo that players that want to play halo would keep playing should have been key. F2P market is companies constantly chasing that Fortnite gold which no one else gets close to. Especially in a similar game.

Whilst some may “take time to recharge batteries” between jobs reality is most people don’t leave one job without another in place. We have bills and mortgages - I suspect even higher paid guys like this - it would suggest he may have been politely shown the door. Allowed to keep his dignity and own narrative and avoid bad PR for all but yeah you don’t just walk out of jobs. Anyone reading this disagreeing is either very privileged or very young.

Re: Kenny Omega Provides An Update On The New AEW Console Game

Stocksy

None of these comments make me feel confident really. I remember the TNA game. 20 or so wrestlers and so so limited. It obviously didn’t play brilliant either. Even if this plays brilliant if it doesn’t have replayability and certain features it will be disappointing. With the roster AEW has and the legends it now has feature regularly the roster itself should be amazing.

It sounds more like they are aiming for a NO mercy tech demo for the first game.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Has Everyone Praising Xbox Smart Delivery Again

Stocksy

@Would_you_kindly I know. I smashed my ps5 up early after reading comments here and the replies telling me I’m doing my hobby wrong.

Shameful the way I’ve acted I should only buy one plastic box and worship it.

Just liking gaming is so uncool…. You have to like one games console producer.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Has Everyone Praising Xbox Smart Delivery Again

@Medic_Alert I play a lot of driving and sports games and with storage as a premium I’d rather have the option to have more games installed than less. You are kidding yourself if you think the leap for PS4 pro to ps5 for many games is massive. Same with xb1x and XSX and I’d wager on some blind tests not knowing which was which you’d struggle to tell them apart

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Has Everyone Praising Xbox Smart Delivery Again

I think it’s far better to have the choice of versions. With space being a premium having last gen versions for some games on external drive is brilliant. Much better than being forced to have a version and the physical disks have issues offline. I own a ps5 and XSX and have had zero issues with ps5 system. It’s a few mins and a few clicks to Copy save data and chose ps5/ps4 version and you get the power to decide. Lots of people amused by this seem to be Xbox only people that haven’t used both systems and are just reading people on stupid street having issues relishing the fake console wars. Honestly you picked Xbox only well done. Don’t hate on another plastic box.

Re: Talking Point: 10 Days Later, How Are You Feeling About The Activision Blizzard Acquisition?

Stocksy

Didn’t like it then and don’t like it now but I’m not blindly loyal to one bit of plastic and cables over another bit of plastic and cables. I just want good cinematic first player games, deep sports games and fun racers with a smattering of platformers and collectathons and competition - less 3rd parties games is bad for all of us. Nothing was stopping MS releasing more games and more IPs. They don’t need to keep buying companies.

Re: UFL's First Gameplay Trailer Is Here, And It Actually Looks Brilliant

Stocksy

It looks exactly like a cut and paste of FUT. The fact they’ve recreated the exact same goal over and over makes me think you find a way to score and repeat over and over like old football games.

Honestly all the media types seem to be hyping this game up and I’m not seeing what they are.

A Free to play, FUT clone with no solo player stuff and MT galore….

Everything that’s wrong with gaming.

Massive football fan and this is a hard pass

Re: Microsoft Is Buying Activision Blizzard, Reportedly For $70 Billion

Stocksy

@Bdbrady EXACTLY. MS has so many of its own dormant IPs - let alone now all the bethesda ones we have heard nothing about or no sign of since they bought them, i honestly dont see how this is a good thing... more old games for gamepass.. but i own all the activision games I want so - all this means is less games going forward

Re: Microsoft Is Buying Activision Blizzard, Reportedly For $70 Billion

Stocksy

@themightyant Nail on the head.

Xbox are building a monopoly buying up third party companies and then they will charge silly money for GPU. They arent doing this as charity work. They think they can make money on this.

For those of us at own all three major consoles and sub to services of all three... this is bad news.

Yes short term we get more games on GPU but long term its only going to result in less games. Anyone who thinks Xbox plan on releasing Activsion and Bethesda games at the same rate as if independent - they are out of their mind.
