I'm pretty sure you can blame PlayStation for the complication. They've made it quite clear that they want control of Call of Duty for as long as possible.
@fabisputza007 the reason you would pre-order this is for the collectibles. Those are limited, so I would be okay with people preordering for that reason alone. I hope no one is preordering just the game.
Phil's absence would give weight to some of the concerns that have been going around. I love what Phil has done for Xbox and I hope we can put the pedal down once more after these delays. I'm not too worried about the future, I see these delays as a speed bump.
While the graphics and music were amazing, the combat and puzzles were annoying. It was okay and I was slightly disappointed by it. I am glad that others are enjoying it more than me though.
Tom Clancy's The Division 2 as chosen for my Backlog Draft. But also Gems of War, Riverbond,. and Tracks - The Train Set Game for some quick completions.
I am in the middle of a Backlog draft. I will be completing Deus Ex Human Revolution and then the Missing Link DLC. If I manage to finish those, It I will be looking to at least complete the story for The Division 2.
@Kopite my own thought process comes from a combination of first party game prices, Sony's arrogant and anti-gamer behavior over the last few years, and the information that has come from the court documents. It may not be true, I'm not in the business, it is just my observation.
I will not miss it. Ubisoft already does too much to pad their gameplay time. I'd rather just get a great campaign one and done than to get modes they won't support after release anyways.

Re: Assassin's Creed Mirage Collector's Edition Pre-Orders Now Live
@fabisputza007 the reason you would pre-order this is for the collectibles. Those are limited, so I would be okay with people preordering for that reason alone. I hope no one is preordering just the game.

@GunValkyrie They had to remove the purchase capabilities due to Google and Apple's in-app purchases restrictions.
Re: EA Confirms Battlefield 2042 Will Have Bigger Maps And More Players On Xbox Series X
@Kopite my own thought process comes from a combination of first party game prices, Sony's arrogant and anti-gamer behavior over the last few years, and the information that has come from the court documents. It may not be true, I'm not in the business, it is just my observation.
Also, there's this: https://www.ign.com/articles/ps5-full-priced-first-party-games-will-be-70 and this: https://www.ign.com/articles/housemarque-found-out-about-returnals-70-price-tag-the-same-time-as-everyone-else
Re: EA Confirms Battlefield 2042 Will Have Bigger Maps And More Players On Xbox Series X
@Kopite Can you explain why EA only charged $70 for the Xbox Series X and PS5 versions? Steam is still $59.99.
Re: EA Confirms Battlefield 2042 Will Have Bigger Maps And More Players On Xbox Series X
@Tharsman From my understanding, you would buy the gold edition for $99.99 for the cross-gen bundle.
Re: EA Confirms Battlefield 2042 Will Have Bigger Maps And More Players On Xbox Series X
$70 on Series X thanks to Sony. No campaign, and nothing particularly new in the trailer today. What are they smoking? Yikes, hard pass.
Re: Sorry Folks, Far Cry 6 Won't Have A Map Editor Or Arcade Mode
I will not miss it. Ubisoft already does too much to pad their gameplay time. I'd rather just get a great campaign one and done than to get modes they won't support after release anyways.
Re: Poll: Would You Like To See The Return Of Snap Mode On Xbox?
I know I am an outlier here, but I play my Xbox through one of 3 computer monitors and the other two are my "snap" screens. Do I want int back? No.
If they can bring it back without compromising games since other people want it back, I wouldn't be against it.
