@eddie429 I agree. I doubt they'll go the exclusive route anyway. They'll have to make $7,500,000,000 in profits, just to break even on this deal. That will take years. Maybe even a decade.
It was definitely a smart move by Microsoft. Bethesda has a lot of popular franchises and exclusives are a big part of why Sony makes up over half of the gaming market. Losing Fallout, TES, Doom, and Wolfenstein is gonna be a kick in the nuts.
@djlard IKR? Online fighters are no fun anymore. It's nothing but a bunch of wannabe pro gamers and streamers who obsessively play until they can juggle you the entire match.
When you account for inflation, video game prices have either gotten cheaper, or remained in the same ballpark. There were plenty of NES games that were at least $40 at launch. That's $100 in 2020. Even a $50 SNES game would be about $90 by today's standards. When you consider the incredible difference in graphics, physics, controls, storytelling, etc., you're actually getting a great deal. An extra $10 for PS5 games is no big deal.

Re: The Lord of the Rings: Gollum PS5 Trailer Looks Better Than Screenshots
@Matroska At least Fat ***** got laid and was hilarious. I think it would be more like playing as a nameless henchman waiting to get judo chopped.
Re: Marvel’s Avengers Trailer Proves Sony Aren't the Only Bad Guys
I'm glad Spider-Man is a Sony exclusive. The salty tears of crying fanboys is the elixir that grants me eternal youth.

You say all like it's more than the usual two games.
Re: PS Plus June 2020 PS4 Game Announced
Better than farm simulator.
Re: The Lord of the Rings: Gollum PS5 Screenshots Are a Glimpse Into the Future
Hard pass. I can't imagine a scenario in which I would ever want to play as Gollum. The graphics aren't even that impressive.
