It is simple math, 2 exclusives (if) a year for 140$ (which will be available on PC later) vs. 200 games for 5/10$ a month, in a year after a global pandemic leads to a depresion. Xbox wins... Fatality!
@No_Cartridge This. Exactly this. BRs are just a code to download the game from the cloud. Try using your Days Gone disc to see if you can play anything. The disc just orders the console to download a 40+gb file.
@themightyant THIS!!!!! So much THIS. I stopped buying games day1 BECAUSE of the bugs/patches/dlcs/goty editions. I just wit six months when the game is ACTUALLY finished.
@Col_McCafferty NO, man. It's a good deal for everyone that does NOT toss $60+ on day one for a game that needs three patches. I know almost no one who buys games day 1 to keep. Most of my buddies just sold TLOU2 to afford GoT. Look at all the used copies on E-bay, man. Gaming is an expensive hobby. And if you buy Day 1 at 60+ you won't have enough money for ALL the good games. This year alone, there have been at least 9 must-play titles. That's 540$ in day 1 purchases. With 300$ you get to play more than 130 slighty older games, and you wait for PS "exclusives" to hit pc. And you're saving big bucks. Which given the economy these days it IS a big deal.
@Col_McCafferty Let me remind you that those "exclusives" will be arriving on PC with better graphics in a couple of years. MS has the upperhand all the way. Specially in the middle of a pandemic economy.
and GHOST of TSUSHIMA is the ONLY BRAND NEW IP from those 4. THIS IS HUGE. It should be compared to Horizon Zero Dawn, The Last of Us 1 (the good one), Uncharted 1 or Ratchet & Clank 1. It is far and away a huge achievement/trophy.
I'm more of a Denzel Washington guy myself. Denzel IS THE MAN. He takes no ***** from anybody and never bows to mobs or trends. He was on the trailer by the way.
@nessisonett Dude, check out videos on youtube where they research the review history of the people who gave 0 and 1 to GoT. All of them had only 2 reviews on their profile. Wanna guess which was the other review? tlos2. And of course it was a 10/10. I don't understand why it's so hard to admit that GOT is a 8.5/10 and tlous2 a 6.5/10. In the end they're both interesting pieces of software. And neither one is GOD OF WAR. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlpGKCDp54o
@GADG3Tx87 Amen!!!! This so much. Why spend time, labor and resources on something that it is not your market? AND THEN go about spending huge cash on time exclusivity of third party stuff. HYPROCRITE much?
If you believe for a second that big corporations are going to abandon a proven revenue source that requires almost no investment I have a farm to sell you.
@MarcG420 @Kidfried I agree with your posts. And yet, I have been deemed a hate-monger for posting exactly those 3 things on social networks. You have proven my point. I agree what I wrote ISN´T hate speech and yet I have been reported on those 3 things online. I have never thought we as a society would confuse criticism with hate BUT IT ACTUALLY DOES HAPPEN EVERYDAY.
@get2sammyb @sketchturner But then again who decides what hate speech really entails? If someone says I'm fat (which I am), is that hate speech? If I say Sony sent an email to VICE about their negative review of TLOU2, which they did, is that hate speech? If I complain about corporations nitpicking who can review their games to guarantee good reviews, Is that hate speech? Trash smells bad, and yet if I say it, someone is bound to get offended.
GOOD FOR THEM!!!! Companies make products for consumers. It is in their best interest to listen to their customers and make adjustments to satisfy their clientele.
@get2sammyb This is it. I haven´t redeemed or downloaded a lot of the best ps+ games as I had already bought them on previous sales. But it´s great for those who haven´t.
@djlard Iwould choose to buy a new tv. Prices are really affordable now for a medium size hdr 4k tv. And the difference is really remarkable. If you catch a sale it'll lower than a ps4 pro. Good Luck.
Of course if it's not the official access media score it doesn't count!!! Need I mention that TLOU 1 has a 9.2 from user's? Maybe, just maybe, consumer's opinions matter, I think.

Re: The Elder Scrolls, Fallout Developer Bethesda Bought By Microsoft
Man, if XBOX decides to make all of Bethesda IPs exclusive, plus game pass it is checkmate. Or at least a draw. I'm gonna need to buy an Xbox.

Puny SSHD. Install 6 games and that's it. it's gone. No way anything less than 2TB is enough.

Re: Report: PS5's Price Could Be $50 Cheaper if You Go for the Digital Edition
For a paltry 50 bucks difference I preffer to keep my options open to any media.
Re: Report: PS5's Price Could Be $50 Cheaper if You Go for the Digital Edition
For 50$ less, it is not worth it to lose all my ps4 discs or the disc retail option. NO WAY.

Re: Of Course The Last of Us 2 Is Being Review Bombed
This game is a 6/10 and that's just because of technical proficiency. Nothing about it is new or innovative. And the writing is crap.
