@danzoEX I’m more interested in how the character work was so overwhelmingly positive that it negates the absolutely craptastic side content and filler other games would have been absolutely dinged for in their scores from the ten reviews. I def think nostalgia is doing some heavy lifting here for reviewers because this feels like a open world game from a decade ago
@sanderson72 the ps5 has way more diversity than ps3 since indie scene really blew up during ps4 gen and most fans agree the first three and half years of ps5 as been a lot better than ps4 was
@sanderson72 Jesus Jim Ryan was a major positive force for Sony and he was beloved by a lot of developers and people in the industry. All he did was take Sony from strength to strength with a few bumps along the way. You want to see an “accountant” look no further than Totoki and pray he quietly goes away after they name a new ceo and pray it’s not him
@CallMeDuraSouka man just the amount of movement options DL 2 provides smokes DI 2 and the level design also. The verticality of DL 2 is super impressive especially how many interiors there are and mini puzzles to solve to get into some of them. DI 2 was a fun time but I just feel it wore out it’s welcome long before it’s end while DL 2 with its movement,combat and exploring lasted a lot longer before hitting the point of ok let’s wrap this up
@lacerz MS and especially Phil Spencer are the masters of double speak too bad they aren’t masters at getting people into their ecosystem lol. I kid but it is annoying how many times Phil and MS have been caught out lying and yet hardcore Xbox fanboys still fawn all over him like he’s their friend
@Wilforce I’m pretty sure MS has talked about gamepass being a loss leader right now and you’re right about people subscribing and forgetting that’s me but I don’t think that makes MS happy because that person isn’t telling friends and family how awesome gamepass is and getting them to subscribe which is why the numbers have stagnated
@Wilforce obviously it’s a bad deal if MS is looking elsewhere to make up the money they are losing. I also bet those numbers are slightly inflated and the majority of those subs probably don’t engage enough. I have Monthly gamepass yet I haven’t turned on or touched it since the 10 hours I put into Starfield at launch
@Deityjester I’d argue consumers too because it’s putting gaming into an even more precarious position than it already is in. Gaming has always been an expensive hobby and I find it funny that gamers think they should get these 300 million dollar games for Pennies not realizing that isn’t sustainable and could make gaming that they supposedly love crash and possibly go away
@Godot25 yes some fans didn’t think Sony would release their games on pc but they come like two years after and some still aren’t in sight like GOT or tlou part 2. Sony was very clear a year or two ago whenever it was that all their gaas titles would be day and date on pc so nobody is moving goalposts. Just like Sony needed to do what gamepass does which come to find out isn’t ***** and they didn’t they don’t need to release their sp games on Xbox and won’t anytime soon because once again just like Nintendo they sell software to move hardware and unlike MS they are very successful at doing that so they have no need to release games on Xbox.
@Godot25 yeah no Sony had already made it crystal clear that their live service games would be day and date on pc but there’s no way in hell they will release their single player exclusives on Xbox because unlike Xbox exclusives PlayStations review well,sell well and their console sells
@Coversnail they weren’t and I guarantee they will come to ps as well as blade in a few years. MS knew what they were doing with their double speak and having these games as the first four to come. It gives time for the hardcore Xbox fanboys to get over their anger at which point the heavy hitters will start releasing
@Kienda MS is slowly but surely going into becoming the biggest third party publisher in gaming since their console sales have cratered two gens in a row so I feel after next gen they will be probably quit making consoles
@stu123 yeah so rich that they now need to release their exclusives on ps and switch smh. Just because the company MS is rich doesn’t mean the Xbox gaming division is
@Godot25 if you’re looking at it through fanboy googles than I could see how you perceive the article to be that but it’s just showing that Sony made the right business decision not to do day and date
@Jayslow same here I beat hi fi but I’ll def play it again on ps5 for trophies and started pentiment and loved it but got sidetracked by other games only like three hours in so I’ll def buy that too
Well verge just had an article where Xbox is calling this Xbox everywhere with hi fi,sot and pentiment being the first to release with others on case by case basis. Gamepass has absolutely stalled and sounds dire. So this sounds like MS easing into going multiplat with some great but “smaller” titles to get the hardcore Xbox fans to acclimate then start porting the rest
@BeerIsAwesome wow Xbox fanboys are really in their feelings lol. Don’t blame Sony blame MS and their horrible marketing and not being a desirable product
@NinjaNicky that isn’t what the rumors say and it’s because MS needs to make the money back on that 90 billion they spent and since their game pass subs have stalled and their console sales have cratered this is what they think will help that
I actually really enjoyed the open missions in MW 3 but I don’t play mp or war zone so I didn’t see the reused assets. I’ve played every cod campaign there’s been so I’ll be there day one for this one too especially since it’s raven making it who made one of the best fps ever with singularity.
@TrickyDicky99 does it matter those games are playable on ps5 and they sold like 80 to 90 percent of their copies there only console warriors try to discredit them. Nobody says botw isn’t a switch game even though it was on Wii U
@Intr1n5ic yeah that would never go down. Imagine the backlash them going multiplat is causing now imagine them reverting oh boy would that be a sight lol
@TrickyDicky99 they’ve still released more games in the first three years of this gen compared to MS which makes MS look even sadder lol. I mean MS launched a brand new console with no exclusives like who does that lmao
@nomither6 oh yes MS has bad news coming out according to Xbox fanboys so they make up completely wild theories of Sony doing bad things to make things “even” it’s childish. The fact is MS hardware and games aren’t see as desirable which is why they’ve been failing for over ten years now while Sony has continued to kick their teeth in by giving their fans a better plus that yes came with a price increase,goty and goated bangers almost every year,awesome hardware to compliment the ps5 with ps portal and psvr 2 among other things.
@Rayman123 yeah no Sony is only behind tencent when it comes to revenue they absolutely don’t have to do what MS is doing because they have a brand that’s popular and desirable unlike MS.
@DonkeyFantasy yeah like I understand Xbox fanboys not fans are upset and trying to do the Sony will too thing but unlike Xbox the ps is a very desirable console with desirable exclusives
@XenonKnight it helped but that isn’t the main reason it was successful it was the massive mistakes Sony made in the beginning plus launching a year later with a ridiculous price point. After Sony lowered the price,released the slim and started releasing banger after banger exclusive they outsold MS every month besides in the US which at the time was MS stronghold which isn’t true for them anymore
@Rayman123 yeah no lol they were right not to looking at how console and game sales have absolutely cratered on Xbox they were smart not to do day and date with pc or their sub service and if they did they wouldn’t have been able to fall back on going third party like MS because they don’t have enough studios
@XenonKnight maybe because their sales have absolutely cratered in only year three when they should be increasing. I mean I enjoy the console but let’s look at the facts besides the US and UK where the brand is somewhat popular the rest of the world just doesn’t care about Xbox and most of that has to do with MS not caring about them. The 360 was a flash in a pan fluke and had more to do with Sony messing up in the beginning than anything MS did and besides that gen they’ve been a distant third and cap out at 40 to 50 million consoles. Sony and Nintendo are just synonymous with gaming while Xbox isn’t and honestly most casuals think it looks like a early 2000’s edgy brand
@UltimateOtaku91 right and they are also making a push into Africa as well as India and Korea while MS continues to ignore all of them but hey Sony has rested on it’s laurels and have been abusive according to two people in this thread lmao
@gymratAmarillo my dude have you tried xcloud it’s mediocre especially compared to Sonys cloud solution. It’s always talked and joked about on resetera how that could even be possible but it is
@nomither6 really were they the ones to launch their brand new console with not even one exclusive no that was MS. Did MS release more exclusives these first three years no that was Sony. Sony has provided the portal and psvr 2 for their customers while MS as given more controller colors woohoo. Does MS try in smaller countries in regards to localization or marketing hell no but Sony does. So take that concern trolling somewhere else sony hasn’t rested on their laurels for even one second this gen
