"Nearly all the Xbox first party games are stuffed full of microtransactions."

Debatable to say the least.

@lazarus11
You're saying people on push square are unhinged? 😂
Just not as much...🙃

@UltimateOtaku91
It seems if someone defends Xbox/MS they also get ganged up on.

Unfortunately it's the state of things and there is likely no leniency either way, it just appears that way depending on how your specs are tinted.

Hope the controllers look better in the flesh.

The black one looks like the guy that's been setting up the barbecue sneaked a shot with charcoal still on their hands.

As for the "gold" (light brown) one...

"Why 007 First Light Is the Most Exciting Game of 2026"

That's quite a statement and prediction @get2sammyb

That level you got to play must be pretty special.

@UltimateOtaku91
"And people can't use the excuse Xbox is more digital focused when over 83% of Playstation game sales are digital."

Though digital can be gotten much cheaper on Xbox than PS.

@dskatter
"But Microsoft..."

Microsoft live in your head rent free 😂

Was sure this was going to be a @get2sammyb article 🤭

But, but, aren't Xbox owners 'trained not to buy games'...

A 9 on PureXbox.

Xbox Bias there for it, Xbox bias here against it?

An 8 is probably where it's at.

Great to read comments on this that are just about the game and not console wars.

@get2sammyb

"but we reckon we’re well within our rights to call out Microsoft’s approach to physical game releases."

Still waiting on you calling out Sony's shabby practice and treatment of their own customers by not including physical media of any description in the super expensive collectors editions...

Not even a "disc with a few MB" on them.

@RobN
" I loved FH4 [set in England]."

Partially in England.
It's set in the UK with lots of it in Scotland.

@Paranoimia
Have you tried any of the traffic mods?

They can help with traffic AI.

@Northern_munkey
Indeed.

Surely the main point of playable demos is to encourage sales. You'd think therefore that the more accessible to players the demos are, the more potential sales there would be.

@AdamNovice
"Can't stand him, a glorified Xbox."

What does that even mean?

@SystemAddict
I see what you did there with Lynch Mob.

See what you've started @get2sammyb with that tenuous Dokken link.

This one makes its real money on DLC. Think I've spent roughly £35 on 6 packs, each of which has about 90 mins of playthrough time to complete.

Wish they would put players with cartoon skins on dedicated servers, although they do stick out like a sore thumb making them deservedly easier to spot and shoot, enjoyably so.

@AhmadSumadi
"Even more proof that Xbox is dead! It’s now basically a machine to own if you’re completely loyal to the brand."

...or own a catalogue of games, like it's extensive backwards compatibility and enjoy getting games cheap from digital key resellers.

@Oram77
Agreed 👍

@Oram77
Sony were the big fish and opened their huge corporate wallet and put the squeeze on Nintendo and Sega (contributing to their downfall).

You don't get to now cry about it because the next big fish is splashing the cash.

@Oram77
Because Sony also "bought their way into the market".

The passing of time doesn't change that.

@Dodoo
"As is usual Microsoft bought their way into the market."

As did Sony - remember they had zero studios when they launched PS.

@johnedwin
"all the xbox youtube trolls are saying sony putting everything on xbox.."

An easy target, just look at the amount of pearl clutching from PS fanboys at the thought.

At first I thought this was a given.

Crazy how quickly it's becoming 'normal' to see Xbox games coming to PS.

While I don't agree with the big brother nonsense (a sledgehammer to crack a walnut?), the sentiment of trying to stop children accessing "harmful content" is a good one.

Not sure if celebrating a way to bypass it on the PS5 is the win some people think.

@MrPeanutbutterz
"Also, you know... the entire point being made in the article"

An article authored by Sammy 'Console War' Barker...

@Dodoo
Even stranger is collectors editions at 4 times the price that don't have any disc at all, like GOW Ragnarok, DS2, Ghost of Yotei...

@NishimuraX
Maybe you shouldn't base sweeping generalisations on a few comments on here and PureXbox.

@NishimuraX
Labelling an entire community as freeloaders that add nothing to gaming and don't care about job losses is a lie.
End of.

@NishimuraX
So do lies...

@NishimuraX
#227 Vile comment.
Your views on Xbox owners is just nasty.

It's you who's showing "their true colours" with that hate filled spiel.

@JohnHalo
"Anyone saying that this is good is 100% a hardcore Xbox fanboy"

Can guarantee you that there are people, right on this page, saying it is good that are nowhere near being an Xbox fan, nevermind a fan boy.

Shooting the players who wear the out of place skins is especially satisfying.

@Lowdefal

Fair enough.

Yeah I played GT. With a 'rumble' steering wheel in '96.

A stretch though to say they were "consistently pumping out first party games for 30 years".

Took a few years to get to that stage.

@RawnDawn
"I hope everyone who lost their jobs get a new one soon 🙏"

Amen to that brother.

@Dodoo
Don't think Sony owned a single studio 30 years ago. Releasing first party games, they weren't.

@get2sammyb @Lowdefal

PushSquare ran previous articles on Xbox layoffs before they started publishing games on Playstation.

Layoffs are a good reason to give MS a kicking.

"Sony Still Does Physical Gaming Properly, Death Stranding 2 Fully Playable from Disc"

Unless you buy the collectors edition @get2sammyb

No disc in there, not even one with 85mb...

"which, irritatingly, only includes a digital version"

Come on @get2sammyb you can do better than that.

When MS did similar or even at least have an near empty disk, you had 2 or 3 articles on it, stamping your feet exclaiming that it "simply wasn't good enough".

This is Sony doing it to it's own customers and all you have to say is that it's "irritating".

Such double standards.
