@TJ81 Good point on that. I think most of us are getting options on both ends that we don't really want. This is the rematch nobody wants. But yeah, none of us are likely to win each other over on a gaming site. We've become very galvanized. But hey, screw those Sony guys right?

What? They just explaining the game in the title. You gotta knock them out 2 times to win!...
I still think XDefiant is a dumber name though.

I feel like only the game reporting industry (made up of mostly non-gamers) is freaking out about all this. Like they are trying their best to gin me up... Seems like a lot of nothingburgers being delivered.

@Kevw2006 You are equating high end games with low end indie games. Big difference. These are games that could work on a 360 no problem.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner Very different situation tho. That's a collector's thing with physical copies of games that are already on Xbox. Not the same.
@mousieone you do understand audiences and Japan as a factor too right? A Japanese game on a Japanese console.
A perfect example would be a western game.

@mousieone Source? And if it wasn't on Game Pass you think that would be the sales numbers? Kind of a disingenuous example. And collections of already made games never sell as well as new games because many already played them. Also, they aren't that expensive to "develop" and port.

And here I thought devs would want their games on as many platforms as possible to make more money. Why is porting so hard for them when these games are made for pc and aren't big AAA level games. You can't convince me that you would lose money by porting to Xbox even if you aren't on Game Pass. If your game is even halfway decent, the cost of porting cannot be more than the sales you'd get. I just think a lot of this is posturing for financial incentives by the devs here.

@papafrezz81 we are moving in the wrong direction with this pandering. I don't care about you telling me your identities. Having to slap all these labels on ourselves is part of the problem.

@Markatron84 Here's a novel idea, how bout not give anyone special treatment? Shouldn't that be the end goal, or do we just want to keep the pendulum swinging? This isn't equality...

Enter the Panderverse

Lol of course...

@Widey85 Sony always tries to trick people into thinking third party games are exclusive... Sleezy marketing, just show a game trailer with PS watermark and end with the "Playstation" phrase...

Don't do it! It's a trap!

This was very expected. When companies merge there's always overlap. and failing companies that are purchased are often bloated.

@Kaloudz That's because like 95% of games are on a scale of 5-10

A little later than I was hoping but it's something. Be cool if they ported or at least added the first STALKER to PC Game Pass in the meantime.

End of the road... Again...

@InterceptorAlpha Hah you said furthermore. You do a lot in 5 seconds lol!

@InterceptorAlpha Bummer, you can buy Steam games, play it for up to 2 hours, review it, and still get refunded afterwards. Guess you didn't think of that one now did ya?

People love to "destroy" things for not living up to the hype. Everything Bethesda releases from here on will get review bombed for the foreseeable future.

The Finals 3 Points

Everyone knows only Ubisoft can get away with scamming people with "open world" games...

@ZuneTattooGuy It won from just about every platform but the game awards. And even then, it won awards there. But keep rattling that saber. It can be your opinion that Deathloop wasn't good but referring to it as a "questionable" game isn't going to win you many followers. Guessing you hated Dishonored too? Blade is a character that could totally fit that stealth/action play style.

@ZuneTattooGuy GoTY Deathloop?! Really?!

@ZuneTattooGuy Which Games of the Year are you questioning in Arkane Lyons history?...
Learn your devs.

But like what more can they do? They literally turned every stone with MCC. It is complete and good. Can't a game be complete anymore?

A bland Ubisoft Open World game?!?! nO wAy?!?!??!?!?!@#!@#$ SMH Ubisoft seriously thinks they can just copy paste the same crap and slap new paint on it. Stop buying this junk!

Marvel fatigue, Game won't be out til 2025 or even 26, Exclusivity is still being negotiated, Don't want to toot their own horns early given the bad taste in people's mouths from RedFall (even though a different dev studio, people aren't smart enough to determine the difference given both say from "Arkane"). There are logical reasons.

This game was a blast to play in the beta. You all need to check it out!

Absolutely nothing is stopping the industry leading Sony from expanding their cloud and subscription services. They have both but have no interest in doing so. That is not anywhere close to a monopoly. Even after this merger, Sony will still remain at the top due to console sales and it likely won't change anytime soon. Abyad is a moron and has no idea what a monopoly is...

Microsoft really needs to be more considerate with this and have it setup to give a one month notice. These two week(ish) notices are not good for longer games.

@Decimateh That's exactly why I haven't started Sea of Stars. I wanted to finish Chained Echoes first, but it just keeps going!

@FatalBubbles Seriously thought I had it beat then all of sudden I got Mechs now and a whole new combat mechanic? Lol

I need to finish Chained Echoes. I keep thinking I'm close to the end then something changes. Game is very long, but enjoying it.

First mistake was having a porting company Aspyr do it. Their ports have been hit or miss. If Microsoft did take it, it obviously should go back to Obsidian.

@Rangers420 Guess you should've tried it on Xbox ;P

Too late to the party, and I've heard it wasn't supported well. Pass...

Always some rando reviewer at the bottom that nobody's heard of, who's just lowballing for rageclicks...

This is why you don't release a game that can't even run well. Too many devs think they can and just patch it later. People are getting sick of it.

Sure, don't look that much slimmer, especially with the disc drive. I miss the days of PS2 Slim. Now that was slimmer!

Has anyone even heard of this game before?

ADHD: The Game Trailer

I'm sure they'll find more taxpayer resources somewhere...

@Cherip-the-Ripper @dreadful Was Creative Assembly laughing at something? I missed this.
