@BrilliantBill id put insomniac into that mix as well,maybe now they will actually make a good game on par with sonys first party ,anyway spiderman 2 is out next week ,im sure playstation owners,will forget about this,when they play that behemoth of a game,I really don't see what the point of some people gloating is.
@JayJ on the surface it seems great ,I feel the more you play, you realise how basic and a step back, from there usual games,some aspects are really poor ,crowd reactions ,have you heard the sound ,sounds like 3 people in a tin can,why is it if I fly up on top of a enemy base and I can see inside ,why is there a loading screen when I go through the door of the same building if the assets are already loaded,why is there in your face loading and hidden loading screens,why at the end of the game there's a couple of people who want to come with me ,and then they don't bother ,why can't I take certain ships,I could go on and on,im starting to think ign was right with there 7/10
@all3forever im playing cyberpunk at the moment just finished starfield, really enjoyed it ,but couldve been so much more ,not to worry,in a couple of weeks.....here comes the spidermaaaaaaaan 😁
@YourNameHere the crimson quest line is the best in my opinion, the side quests are just the usual fetch quests,and the main campaign is terrible, but there's something about it that makes you play for hours ,after 180 hrs nearly ,I kinda think its the false hope that you're gonna find something that nobody has before, you don't, which is disappointing, its not a patch on skyrim or oblivion for that matter.
Loved it ,but felt like it was a step back from skyrim and fallout ,I expected more ,after finishing the game with 180hrs id give it a 7.5 ,why can't I shoot Benjamin Bayu in the face, why is there only generic prisoners to rescue ,at the end of the crimson fleet quest ,wheres all the lore ,in many ways its like a bethesda game lite.
I'll give it a bash ,but watching films in vr gives me a headache and I cant go 20 min, im sure they could convert some of their titles to native virtual reality, starfield ,dishonored, would be great
@Fiendish-Beaver what you changing the narrative for ,your original point was that starfield is the better game ,because it isn't on ps5 ,all I said was that was conjecture on your part ,unless youre a part of starfields devs,which you are not ,as im sure you would have mentioned it,in your 3 day rant.
@TheSimulator there's plenty of issues in the long term ,the last thing we need as gamers, is one company be it ms or Sony, controlling the lions share of franchises ,and dictating where we should play our favourite games ,we get a gaming monopoly, and gaming is over as we know it now.
@Fiendish-Beaver I speak in a civil manner to those that return the favour,if something deserves praise I give it,if you make a comment that others don't agree with ,you get attacked ,accused of being a 'pony' 🙄 and asked why are you on the site if you don't agree with microsoft..how ridiculous,no discussion ,no back and forth on why they think I'm wrong,just a fanboy outburst, that sounds like captain caveman in my head,its not just myself ,its everyone that dares question the decisions made, by uncle phil.
@Fiendish-Beaver by venom,you mean opinions that don't fit in with yours,I own an xbox ,so I come to this site for xbox news, sorry if that upsets you ,but thats the way its gonna be,I do apologise, if I dont brown nose uncle Phil at every opportunity.
@themightyant and the proof of this is what, the truth of the matter is if they hadn't had bought these companies,what first party games have they actually released, that was any good in the last 10 years, that wasn't forza ,gears or halo ,they have all this money and yet couldn't fund the studios they already had,whats gonna change now.
How about they start to make games instead of buying them,invest some of that gargantuan amount of money in the devs they have ,and start to make first party games, on par with Sony and Nintendo.
@Dan1283 I think most people are overwhelmed ,that they've got an exclusive game on xbox thats actually good ,they've released nothing but mediocrity for a long time ,sure ms bought the game ,but just take the win,its a good game, it won't win any awards though,like you said far far better games released this year.
@Dan1283 I treat it for what it is,skyrim in space ,im really enjoying it,ill be moving on to cyberpunk next week though ,and then there's a certain web crawler that will be getting all my attention.
@Sifi those two games where timed exclusives, but some studios just don't want to work for ms ,ms have approached insomniac on numerous occasions ,got turned down ,nintendo laughed them out of the room when they mentioned it to them ,money can't buy everything ,xbox should know this ,they haven't made a decent game for years ,sonys first party studios are a different league
@Sifi i dont know whats more comical,your fanboy response to my comment ,or the fact you believe Sony won't respond to microsofts shenanigans,they will respond in kind
@Sol4ris you mean elder scrolls and fallout basically ,nobody cares about anything else,if I only owned an xbox i'd be worried about Sonys response to the Activision deal.
@cmr_araujo they all do the same thing ,game pass is full of them,nintendo snapped up bayonetta as well as lot of Japanese rpgs,id say the biggest 3rd party exclusive Sony goes for is ff, of course they have silent hill 2 coming up ,which will probably come to xbox eventually,they clearly have a deal with square of some sorts , be it part funded or use of their motion cap studios.
@cmr_araujo itll be on pc not xbox ,they won't release the second part without the first ,TGS was the perfect time and it didn't happen,there's something definitely goin on over at Sony hq,I wish this Activision deal would hurry up,so we could find out what they've been up to
@HonestHick well thats fair enough my friend ,maybe you shouldve stated the reason they suck for you in the first place ,the pad does not suck ,its just unsuitable for your needs, which is a fair comment
