"but once again I feel if this isn't on gamepass then Xbox players won't pay for it (shocker I know)"

Is there actually any proof that Xbox players "don't buy games"?

If not, then you're trolling.

Worth noting that Xbox gamers have the option of buying digital through 3rd party key resellers with substantial savings.

"Although, in that case, we’d recommend using two Blu-rays – this is supposedly a Deluxe Edition, after all."

Still waiting on an article condemning Sony's shoddy practice of not including ANY discs in their uber expensive collectors editions...

Won't hold my breath...

So now we're good with games copying games...

What happened to the Horizon type rage?

There's obviously a muddy area in between copying and inspiration - hopefully the opinion on it is not swayed by who owns the IP.

I would have needed a few guesses to have got it's the God of War controller.

Would have went for a football team, maybe Ajax lol

Some illustration from each game on it would have been better, the key weapons or something...

Edit: The stripe doesn't really match his omega tattoo - it should keep going diagonal and not cut back.

"belatedly arrive on the PS5"

Entitled much? Belated suggests that it 'should' have been realised on PS5 earlier.

Other consoles can have timed exclusives too.

@Artois2
Looks like it!

Was being facetious though.

The author obviously meant the price was absurd rather than the console itself.

"the absurd 2TB Galaxy Black version of the Xbox Series X"

Thought it was a decent console myself...

@get2sammyb

Read your hopes before for a port on this one.

Must be the first of the Xbox multiplats you're looking forward to! 😉

Best played with a yoke if possible 👍

Decent saving.

@UltimateOtaku91
"And that was a time before gamepass I believe so they weren't trained into not buying games at that point."

Such an off-hand view you have of Xbox and owners (presumably that is who "they" are).

Not long after, and still have it.
Needs to be upside down at roughly a 45 degree angle to read discs though! 😄

Wow, COD domination.
Just name the PS6 the 'Pew-Pew 6000'.

@DonkeyFantasy
"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...
