By NiceGuy Go To PostWhat if I think the things that made the wii and the ds different also made them worse?Then you stick with whoever has the games you want to play, as always.
By reilo Go To PostYou're too good for this world, KibI'm not naieve enough to think everything would be sunshine and rainbows. Both Sony and MS are trying to drive the other out of the console space so they can have it all to themselves. Neither are willing to coexist.
It's nice to dream
Nothing about this purchase really changes anything about the industry. Even if it extended to every third party being bought up. What would materially change in users' experience that doesn't already happen with the purchased exclusives? If you want to play all the games, you'll have to get both consoles, just like now.
Exclusivity that isn't driven by meaningful differences in capability to experience a game as intended is always awful.

It's almost as-if Microsoft a) coulda done the same or b) has done the same in the past
Microsoft pays $100 million for tomb Raider timed exclusivity
Sony goes for Starfield and FF16 (previous entry MS also paid for)
MS: it’s not fair 😭
Maybe make better decisions?
So they learned that paying 100m for third party exclusivity didn't make business sense, and made a better business decision by buying the studios instead.
Shocked

By s y Go To PostNot sure how far you're into but more hunts unlock as you progress through the game but the iirc the drakeslayer doesn't even need hunt specific materials to craft.thought you needed to do 2 specific hunts for the gelatinous stuff and the electrum
The Diofield Chronicle on sale for like $20… so tempted. Apparently the post-launch patch made it a lot better. Stop me lads, already too much to play.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostThe Diofield Chronicle on sale for like $20… so tempted. Apparently the post-launch patch made it a lot better. Stop me lads, already too much to play.What if it NEVER goes to 20 again
By C4-621 Go To PostWhat if it NEVER goes to 20 againThat is the opposite of stopping me! 😭
Worth considering. I already picked up The Kaito Files DLC so I wouldn’t touch Diofield any time soon regardless. Definitely think it’ll continue going down though, those 2022 Square releases are on sale so often.
By C4-621 Go To PostYou know how Square is always disappointedonly when they had western branches, tomb raider and deus ex need to sell 15 million or it's a failure, but ff17 can sell 1000 copies and it would be a success

But no now they get to use their multi-trillion dollar advantage to make the largest acquisition in history because they didn't want to spend a marketing budget on timed exclusives.
Yes they do get to use the wArChEsT
Remember those memes
Now y’all wanna cry when it happens lmao
Maybe tell papa Jimbo to stop trying to buy exclusivity for every major third party game in existence and then you wouldn’t have this “problem”
Bethesda actually shopped around, but they chose PlayStation over Xbox for exclusivity.
Maybe if Xbox wasn’t now essentially just a gamepass machine where people don’t buy games anymore, third parties would be more interested in it. That’s the real reason why MS is buying publishers, they can’t convince third parties to put their games on gamepass or make them exclusive to Xbox.

And Bethesda shopped around to be bought. Found an audience of 1. So did Activision. Doesn’t matter what the “real reason” is when you own it outright. You and your folks like sy and reilo were loling about the warchest for years.
The game is the game. Y’all were lucky MS didn’t give a shit about Xbox until Phil and Nadella came along. Now them checks getting written, it be like that.

Damn. Dy was right. Trouble Shooter is living rent free in my head, atm. I had that game sitting in my steam account for mad long too, and never installed it.
Remember anyone rooting for MS's acquisition spree is the enemy. Anyone pretending that MS could not compete otherwise is being disingenious.
Anyone pretending that Sony exclusivity deals, timed or otherwise were only their forte and that Ninty or Xbox have not and do not engage in the exact same tactics since their inceptions is willfully stupid and ignorant.
Xbox enters the gaming space roughly 7 years after the PS1 debuts, they make a nice first foray with the OG xbox and get crushed by the behemoth that is the PS2. Release the Xbox360 earlier than the PS3 and thus cement themselves as a legit competitor for the entirety of that generation. Through no fault of anyone else they fumble with the Xone in biblical ways, yet we are to believe that it was exclusivity deals that really put the dagger in when it was their own dev mismanagement and poor product that sent them backwards.
And now using their parent company's infinite cash flow, MS's own side project is set to disrupt a healthy industry and turn it upside down under the guise of "we sucked but it was Sony's fault" "competition".
Pay to win works when you actively lobby in the courts.

By data Go To Postshould i be excited about remnant?Absolutely.
It looks soo good.
not sure about the console performance tho
I think the only reasonable course of action is to crack Microsoft's executive's heads open and feast on the goo inside
people losing their damned minds because their plastic box is missing out on a couple games they didn't even like going forward
By EldritchTrapStar Go To PostDamn. Dy was right. Trouble Shooter is living rent free in my head, atm. I had that game sitting in my steam account for mad long too, and never installed it.Prophet Dy peace be upon him
Gonna buy Aliens DD too ngl
By data Go To Postshould i be excited about remnant?If you have a group absolutely! I had some 6/10 fun with 1 and this already looks way better

Was this video ether that made your soul burn slow?
What does trolling having to do with anything anyway?
Xbox fans should have been mad at Xbox Game Studios for under delivering for over a decade instead of looking across the isle in envy. Demand better.
It's genuinely awful crack. I'm starting to think a bunch of it isn't even tongue in cheek anymore either, it's that fucking bad.
Everyone chill out and play the video games.
I just finished Alan Wake - that guy is fat and can't run. But I enjoy the connection to Control.
Now to finish Ghost of Tsushima.

By Daz Go To PostEveryone chill out and play the video games.Max Payne and Control I thoroughly enjoyed (MP is a classic), didn't really connect to Alan Wake as much I'd hoped. I love the Twin Peaks vibes but something felt lacking.

As for Ghost, how far into it are you?
Smokey in here praying checks make up for the long awaited and system seller exclusive but really really shitty Halo 😂
We cant do anything about this page its too late

By Hentai Samurai Go To PostI hope nobody is mad, not my intention to make anyone upset. Just want to discuss how short sighted the people that cheer on this acquisition race are. No more.
What we really oughta be mad about is Pro Evoluton dying and Seabass not being asked to revive it.
What we oughta also be mad about is that Blooper is putting their prints on Silent Hill 2.
This timeline has only had one positive aspect and its not gaming related. (Messi winning the World Cup)

Starfield will atone for all past wrong doings.
Can’t wait to hear your PS5 impressions.
I’m mad but not at silly slaent trolling but rather Larian delayed the PS5 Balders Gate.
I’m kinda mad at myself for buying tears of the kingdom too
