@Bdbrady I deleted my comment because i wanted to avoid the console war b*tch fight i knew it would cause, can't take the moral highground if you also partake in it after all.
Its funny how when MS buys a studio or another corp its nothing but cheers but when Sony buy a studio to clearly boost their VR its nothing but b*tching, talk about hypocrisy. If rumours prove true then in 24 hours you may be b*tching at the news that Sony bought Bluepoint who may be making a MGS remake exclusively for PS5.
@UltimateOtaku91 You think they would sell more? Guess what no they wouldn't or to be more exact they wouldn't sell enough more to actually make the whole thing worthwhile. End of the day why should From change how they make games for people who were never going to buy it anyway, the Soulsborne series as well as Sekiro sell tons and even Elden Ring a brand new IP is getting a ton of hype because its a From game.
I feel the easy mode beggars suffer from entitlement issues in that they want everything available to them while failing to understand that not game is made for them. Wanna know something? I can't finish Sekiro, the last boss is basically impossible for me as it requires you to be perfect at parrying something the whole game is based around, thing is parrying in games is a weak spot of mine so this final challenge i just can't do but that's ok though i got the game knowing what it would contain and i accept the game wasn't made around my skill level.
End of the day gaming like most hobbies usually involves skill, someone who wants to learn martial arts is not going to face off against a black belt on there first day and they aren't going to demand an "easy mode" for it, it takes practice and patience to get there. Not every game is going to be tailored made for everyone and like most hobbies some are harder then others but can be overcome if you practice enough. You have 100+ games to play? and that's your problem not From's , you put yourself in that position not them. End of the day Bloodborne isn't for you just like Sekiro really wasn't for me even if i did get far in it (due to guess what? learning and improving).
@S1ayeR74 Something tells me you're one of those console loyalty scrubs who can't criticize the Corp they have giving their loyalty too. End of the day i go by facts, logic and context and its how my thoughts are based.
Again outside of Flight Sim what big 1st party games has MS released on Xbox S/X this year? You keep ignoring the question.
@S1ayeR74 Not hypocrisy at all, most of the the big games MS shown at E3 this year will be lucky to hit Xbox next year while GoW is all but certain to hit next year especially as it was originally announced for this year. Tell when is Hellblade 2 out? The Outer Wilds 2? Exactly.
You keep saying MS have been releasing tons of games this year but fail to say what. Its funny you call me a fanboy when on Pushsquare today i've been criticizing Sony for how they're releasing Horizon and praised MS on how they're doing it for Halo and Forza.
@S1ayeR74 Horizon is out in Feb next year and chances are God of War is as well.
Tell me how many Series S/X/PC only 1st party games has MS released so far because i can only count Flight Sim, in fact outside of Indies what 1st party games has come out so far this year?
Damn you really are a fanboy aren't you? Horizon, God of War, Spider-Man 2, FF16, that other Square Enix game, GT7, Kena, Deathloop (timed for at least a year), TLoU Remake (not confirmed but might as well be) and that's just off the top of my head.
Sony have nothing? Well they have the sales as the PS5 is greatly outselling Series S/X so i'm pretty sure Sony will want to continue releasing games for it especially for new franchises they started last gen like Horizon and Ghost.
Either way i win though as it doesn't matter, i can be hyped for Starfield for Xbox and God of War for my PS5.
@S1ayeR74 MS games are full of MTX, in fact they are near EA levels and Halo's MP the main draw is clearly F2P so they can go even harder on it.
Also i own all 3 consoles in PS5, Series S and Switch. Unlike some i don't have loyalty to a corporation, i'm long past those days. When you grow up and can afford more then one console you will understand.
@S1ayeR74 and when are they coming? Sony have learnt that lesson and have tried to avoid announcing games what 3 years plus away. Xbox has a good library coming up but its going to be years before we see them, i wouldn't be shocked if Starfield is a 2023 title. Outside of the announced stuff we don't know exactly what Sony has planned but we do know they have stuff planned like Spider-Man 2 and you also have stuff like FF16 and that other SE exclusive. MS shot their load at E3 while Sony are keeping it loaded for now.
@S1ayeR74 Does it? Right now the PS5 has more 1st party PS5 only games then Series S/X has 1st party only S/X games with Flight Sim being the only one. This year has seen a few exclusives as well and next month even has one and then you have a packed next year what with Horizon and God of War. Xbox's big games this holiday is the same as always in Halo and Forza and from the sounds of things Halo's MP is going to be a P2P monetized to hell version.
@pip_muzz Hulk Ultimate Destruction is fantastic and holds up pretty well even now. As a kid i must have spent 100's of hours playing it and replaying it, its one of those games i would love a remake off even if it can never happen. I think the closest we have now to that game is the Prototype series what i think was made by the same Devs.
I know licencing issues prevent it but i do wish all the Xbox and 360 games were on One/SeriesX/S, its been years since i last played Spider-Man 2 and Ultimate Spider-Man and even underrated gems like Web of Shadows.
I do highly recommend the PS4/PS5 Spider-Man games though for those what have yet to play them, it does to Spidey what Arkham done for Batman plus Insomniac just went OTT on unlockable costumes what is always a plus for a Spidey game.
@suikoden Instead of being happy the game is great you're just trying to have a dig at Sony fanboys. Xbox fanboys are just as bad as are Nintendo fanboys and PC fanboys.
I recently bought it again as i got a PS5 and it was £40 on the store, its certainly much better on it then PS4 but the lifeless city still remains. I am liking it more though and i hope that CDPR can turn things around more with the supposed next gen versions.
As a Series S owner i'm happy to hear this, i'm ok if it isn't as good just as long as it still looks nice and is good performance wise. Next week i'm going to lose so many hours to this just exploring England and the county i live in.
The problem is it would have to be pretty powerful to set it apart from the Switch what would raise the price by a lot, i'm sure the hardcore will buy it but i doubt they would bring in the money, People like to nag on at Sony for how they supported the Vita but end of the day it barely sold, Nintendo have completely took control of the handheld market and i doubt MS could get anywhere near.
A better option would be MS trying to get XCloud on Switch.
D+ doesn't release their original shows on DVD/Blu Ray, if D+ was to close down then outside of piracy those shows would be lost. Of course things are very different with Gamepass but you do have to wonder what the future has in store when streaming and services as well buying digital are the go to thing nowadays.
I'm a Series S owner so i hope it looks good on that as i'm really excited to finally play this, being able to see home in the game and my town will be mind blowing.

Re: Bethesda And Xbox Shut Down Speculation About 'Starfield Coming To PS5' (Again)
@S1ayeR74 You do realize Halo Infinite MP is F2P right? Its only the campaign what costs money providing you don't use Gamepass for it.
