Some hit and miss which is normal, as a good % will have played on Xbox/PC while many others will wait for a sale as the games are ‘old’ (even if new to ps).

But there is potential there for MS.

@naruball you will never get them from MS.

It’s a £50 AA game, it’s going to be janky and a mess on release.

That’s my guess anyway.

They are all just still playing monster hunter is all

I understand the devs don’t get the money from second hand sales.

But it contributes to the economy, creates jobs, lets people play things they may never have afforded before.

@heavyartillery56 you do realise it’s sold over 2million copies, that’s substantially better than Veilguard.

But you keep living under that rock

Im happy ubi are getting a commercial win, god knows they needed it

Sometimes I just read what people write on social media and I just sigh very heavily.

I’ll get it in a couple of months.

Let it be patched, updated and down to £30.

Same as I do with every AC

Guess I’ll get it in 3month when it’s 50% off

@themightyant how do you think it would go for MS considering Ubisoft have the rights to ABK stuff on xcloud? (Or whatever the exact deal was in the merger)

You think regulators would let them do more deals with Ubisoft? I know this one’s different but the other deal is still there

I said it on purexbox but I can’t see what Ubisoft have that MS really need?

Rainbowsix/division - they have cod
Crew - Forza
Rayman - banjo etc

Farcry?AC? Probably crazy expensive and can imagine ubi want to keep them.

I think MS have enough available in back catalogue to not need any.

It’s going to sell well. It’s Bethesda, it just will do decent.

But there will be a lot of grumbling and disappointment with it. Just as there was on Xbox/pc.

It was a 7/10 on release it’s probably 8/10 after some QoL

@KundaliniRising333

Unless they are doing the ‘early access’ nonsense. They can shadow drop it anytime (is it even a shadow drop if it’s leaked?!) because MS are releasing it onto a sub service primarily. So they don’t need to build up much fanfare.

If anyone thinks that MS/meta etc haven’t also looked at implementing AI in this way and in games in general then they will have a shock

@themightyant it’s the same few of us who protest on PX that also protest here.

There’s the usual posters who support everything MS does regardless that don’t mind it

It’s a scummy tactic. Whoever does it.

@OldGamer999 except it sells far more than 2:1. That figure is now outdated.

Series consoles sold 2.5m in 2024, Sony sold 5m in the last quarter alone.

This is the reason why MS are going multi platform. If they hadn’t been lucky with PS shortages at the start of the generation then that gap would be much wider.

It’s amazing that people still don’t understand that outside of the few people that post here, they don’t play the games we do.

They play live service. Look at the most played games on any platform.

The live service numbers dwarf anything a great single player game can bring.

Sony want some of that live service money to fund the ever growing expensive single player games.

It’s the reason why MS spent so much money on some of the biggest live service games out there. And it’s the reason why Sony will keep on trying to find the games that do this.

@carlos82 I agree it’s ridiculous and can’t see many people taking this up.

But people often do the same with cars etc.

Wasn’t the rumours in the last week that they were releasing it on ps4/xbone?

I think it should have been £70 complete edition.

Regardless of my personal opinion it is going to sell in bucket loads.

@darkswabber so you are agreeing it’s cosmetic then?

Because absolutely nothing you have mentioned affects anything other than cosmetics.

You can’t buy weapons, progression etc

It’s cosmetic only. Doesn’t affect the game in the slightest so far better than many MTX in most games.

I think most people would be happy if MTX was limited to just cosmetic

I guess that WW had to be a fair amount of time away. If not it would be wild to cancel it so late.

But they do have form with the batgirl movie or whatever it was that got cancelled

@get2sammyb

Genuine question - forza4 got delisted 6-7years after release.

Fh5 is 4+ years old. Are PS gamers looking at potentially only having it listed for 2-3years? Or have licenses been extended?

Super happy that it is getting good scores and Friday can’t come soon enough now. ( if anything it’s slightly higher than I expected)

I’ve only skimmed the review as always I try not to read if I’m going in day 1.

As always it just shows that the vocal are the minority.

@IOI it’s not that they are being complacent imo.

They made a bet on live service games. Which failed. It’s going to take time to recover from that. It’s not like games are made in 12months - we are starting to see the upcoming projects.

Wait really?

The company that owns the most studios, will make the most games?

Who ever would have thought?!

It’s like saying if Sony decided to port all their old games to a competitor they would publish the most for that year.

Plenty of games shown. Some I’m interested in , some I’m not. Same as any show for any box.

The live service cancellation can’t be corrected over night.

We know the studios are working on games. They aren’t sitting there picking their noses. But what use is showing a game that’s releasing in 2-3yrs? - Microsoft did this and it didn’t work.

Look at Astro, announced only a couple of months prior. Yet team Asobi would have been working away a while. It built up hype

@themightyant the drop makes sense to a degree. (Not all of it of course!)

The year prior would include sm2, which outsold Astro not multiple times over, and iirc first party normally sells well physical?

@thefourfoldroot1 with something like monster hunter, people know how many hours they are getting from it. It’s not a 30hr and done. Otherwise you can end up ‘behind’ others in rank.

If it is a one play through and done, I agree better to wait until full game.

@get2sammyb I get with the price and agree it would be great if they could get the sticker price down some.

But I think they are waiting to see what the switch 2 releases at. Because I think the s2 is going to be relatively high compared to the first one.

World was amazing.

Bounced off it first time then second time it clicked and bam over 1000hrs.

Majority single playered it, the end game grind was good too.

I don’t think wilds will be as successful but that’s because the way we consume games has changed

Was a little annoying as I had time to play wilds beta, but I don’t mind missing it too much.

I just played some other games, not the end of the world.

I’m more annoyed about the 5 days, as I sub yearly around Black Friday, so I hope it hasn’t screwed me .

@Decoy_Snake some are already announced for ps so a ‘state of play’ would fit for them, release dates etc.

Just a feeling I have

I can see MS announcing Halo collection at the state of play.

Infact there may well be a portion of it dedicated to MS - halo/forza etc etc

And this is why they will be looking at their own subscription.

Didn’t one of their yakuza games go day 1 on gp also? (Could well be mis remember)

Nothing wrong with a bit of a fun tweet.

Makes a change from the usual crap that’s on there

Come on did Herman forget to put 50p in the meter?

Or has he changed the password to the account since he lost his co-job and no one can log in..,

Do @pushsquare have a list of games with mouse/keyboard support?

It’s the right decision.

But I still think originally they should have skipped fm25, to focus on fm26 with plenty of time.

They could have given fm24 a transfer update with fm25 teams.

@Ralizah there’s a benchmark tool out on steam for it if that would be helpful

@djlard not sure if it’s offline. (There’s an option for online solo lobby)

But it can be single player, and there will be AI hunters you can use to help (or the s.o.s flares online )

No one going to mention the elephant in the room?

The fact EA fc also didn’t do as well as expected… you know that live service football game, loved by millions, filled to the brim with micro transactions and predatory loot boxes?

What’s the excuse for that? The fact it isn’t single player game?

@DennisReynolds halo announcing at the rumoured ps state of play? Could you imagine that?!

(Not that I think it will happen, I don’t think there will be a state of play!)

I’ll be playing it eventually but it’s too big to sink into right now.

Planning to do avowed then wilds

@graymamba you know different reviewers see things differently. PX didn’t mention the camera as a negative, yet it’s been complained about lots.

Excellent. Even if it will be a while before I have time to play.
