@Daleaf I've not heard of halo being bugged but it is definitely missing a lot of features. Bethesda RPGs are a different beast entirely.

@Martsmall PlayStations profits consist largely of subscriptions. An extra tenner for a game that's pretty much done with minimal microtransactions and industry leading polish and production values is a win in my book. And in a lot of people's books.

@Martsmall Prove they will stick to it in the face of incoming Spartacus, horizon2, god of war2 and psvr2 and older PS generations being added. What we may see is an attitude that gamepass and the ps equivelant become defacto subscriptions. All boats rise.

@Daleaf Halo has proven that Microsoft will release an unfinished product with a lot of the features missing but a thriving microtransaction shop. What makes you think any Bethesda RPG isn't going to be absolutely riddled with bugs and microtransactions? A lot of people got over that by calling it 'charm' 😂

@Martsmall Most of the Xbox s consoles were sold because their was little to nothing else available. S consoles sitting on shelves and gathering dust for a whole year helped that dynamic.

@Th3solution You won't really be able get access to the data because Microsoft don't publish the data. But let's for argument's sake say that gamepass subscribers buy a lot more games than non-subscribers, this is a dynamic that will be totally mirrored should Sony's Spartacus be closer in conception to gamepass. Like somebody said above 'Rising tides affect all ships'

@Martsmall Sony's profits are not slowing. They are having a great cushion to deal with transition. Early PS3 was worst Sony ever had it in terms of profits, price of console, performance of console Vs 360 and barely any exclusives. And that became a draw(some would argue Sony even took that gen too). And that too was Vs Microsoft. This is the most successful Sony have ever been. This will be a much more interesting fight than any kind of clean sweep. Also,love all the microtransactions in the ms games! Tactics and methods are being noticed. And Sony games are still the creme de la crème. Watch!

@JAMes-BroWWWn Yes, UK has always been a strong market for Xbox. One of a few.

@Martsmall it also needs to be said that. Sony haven't even started advertising ps5. They showed the video of chess being played with multiple pieces in play and people thought it was wierd. But Sony are up for the game.

@Martsmall @Martsmall There will be a gamepass competitor I think sooner than we think. If anybody thinks gamepass is going to be a reason to just stick to Xbox while Sony offering closer to gamepass type services plus emulation is not going to sway people at least back to also include playstation is being very deluded. The trend for gamepass popularity will have been noticed and will be being adapted to. Sony have a huge wedge of cash at this point to weather a transition no problem. They are selling their own software a lot and have about 50m psplus subscribers. If you think sony are about to put their hands up because loads of series s machines that went unsold for a year now sold because other things werent available...well...watch!

@Martsmall It should be noted that ps5 stock will still have played a part in keeping it down. Spartacus will turn a lot of heads back. As will horizons2 and god of war2 and psvr2.

@fido i know. I wonder if he's actually angling for his job back...

@lolwhatno How can I further clarify it? I don't know.

Im not Christian but some of my spirituality is based on it. I'm also not the best person to argue in Christianity's favour regarding what the divine nature is and what the divine nature is not. I think God can't be less than the highest ideal humans think of. He's not just a big one of us, he created the entire universe. I don't think he's impartial to any of the children(peoples) in the earth or in the rest of the universe but this realm has been so created as to offer negativity. For the sake of free will.

I can't see the opinion that God doesn't love us is in any way a moral victory.

@lolwhatno It can be very disheartening to see somebody who has suffered in life and been at some point dismayed at the human condition choose not to indulge in the humor of living in this world and becoming so thoroughly intolerant in response. We all have to deal with the absurdity because none of us are perfect. Even when our own ego is clamouring for status and power. This is not any kind of statement about anyone on here.

It sometimes boggles my mind that my attitude that God loves us ALL is at one so unifying and also so offensive at the same time.

@KayOL77 I don't think it would destroy the NFTs, but it would dilute them into insignificance. And the only saving grace would be the faith that they are still worth something. Even though they are everywhere. "The receipt said it's MINE!!!" would maybe be more acceptable if the machines that created the receipt weren't simultaneously creating more carbon dioxide than can possibly be reversed by climate change policy? But it IS complicated.

Well...if people got into trouble for right clicking and sharing it then that would maybe make clear that digital scarcity is being prioritised. Even though it's not actually a thing?

@PossibLeigh Regarding the tweet, type it out into a small box and take a screenshot of it and send it around the internet. Nftbros LOVE that! 😂

@Kalime78 Also, please define 'keep control of their creation'. Thanks

@Kalime78 I'm not averse to the right people making money from their own art. I'm pointing out the absurdity of it being owned by one person who buys it despite it flying around and permeating the digital space. Also, people are minting other people's art, and it's on the Blockchain that the new person now 'owns' it thank you very much. Original artist had to disown and accept the loss and he can't afford to uphold his copyright. The result? It's absolutely NOT his anymore. This whole thing seems to rely on the 'owner' having faith in the receipt they will recieve and nothing more. I'd rather the artist make that profit but that's not going to happen is it? Thanks for the polite discourse.

@Fenbops Imagine someone paying £100000 for a digital pic of a particular situation in a game. And then you play the game and organise the in-game circumstances to simulate it, then an ingame prompt says "You are very close to being charged a £19.99 fee for copying a scenario that has been bought and now owned by ...". 🤔

@Enigk Nothing is off limits. Pump and dump scams happen all the time. 🤔☹️

It's almost impossible not to come up with imaginary situations to completely and hilariously circumvent whatever is apparently attractive about NFTs.

Reminds me of the guy who famously kept selling the statue of liberty to passing tourists 😂. Its clever and all plus it can garner a few chuckles with its deviousness but ultimately you are openly preying on people genuinely not knowing any better.

@Enigk Nothing. You could even morph the picture in stages over time to make it an entirely different image 😂.

@lolwhatno Yeah sorry peeps for helping to keep this charade going. This is a touchy subject for all the right reasons. It should be noted even artists have had their property stolen and 'minted'. The disingenuisness on all levels of this technology is exposing a lot of wolves.

@kingbreww So your all for implementing a grand beurocracy to protect the fact you own some pixels and remove all other instances of it?

@kingbreww if you buy a shed, don't be offended if everyone you see around you also has the keys to it.

@kingbreww Wiping the file the reciept points to off the internet is zero success? The banks are relatively protected.

@kingbreww Thankfully there is a concerted effort by people who go where the file is stored on the internet and then just delete it, replacing it with nonsense. £80,000 down the drain. 😂😂😂

@KayOL77 If I can make a copy of your nft and make it valueless why should we NOT adopt mass censorship to make sure that image remains your goddammit? Especially if you spent half a million pounds on the *****. You'd be PISSED! And somebody's gonna PAY!!!!

@kingbreww How else are big tech going to protect your 'investment'?

@Bingbongboyo The idea is you can own digital pixels in a particular order. And stop anyone else from seeing it. As @Nessisonett points out, you can right click and save as anything you view online thereby creating a perfect copy and thus making it valueless. Until big tech starts attacking your right to save what's on your screen. And indeed using ai to scan what your looking at in the first place and determining whether you have the right to be even looking in that direction. If the answers no then you get a white noise image with the message "You do not have the right to view this particular light emanation."

@kingbreww The great thing about bitcoin is it was seen to circumvent power from banks and give power to people to decentralise. This nft looks to bring back centralisation and class division like nothing before it. Will it be good too when the decision is made to implant babies with chips that distort the signal from eyeball to brain to make sure observation of the outside world is "correctly implemented" for the few?

NFTs are probably going to usher in a new wave of censorship as big tech fight to make digital scarcity a thing. Can't wait for people to fight over somebodies retina illegally processing light emanating from a clump of pixels in a specific order.

@kingbreww That's unfair. Even if I did have a BTC account, it would actually be worth something.

@kingbreww Ok. Tell us what nft you bought. Be specific. Give us the URL 🤔😂

@nessisonett How long till that feature is disabled in all current OS implementations going forward 😬🤔

@MightyDemon82 Neil Buchanan and Tony Hart for the win!!!

@JustPlainLoco I agree with you. Damned if they do and damned if they don't. Meanwhile halo is onto its 8th or 9th iteration I believe 😂

@B-I-G-DEVIL Its a real shame, and Sony need to not rely on reviewers for green lights. That way lies Hella trouble. And it would be a HUGE weakness for sony

@RatmCky Astros playroom says hello!

@AFCC While it's true that a native ps5 will probably always be better than a crossgen I think it would be unwise to just ignore PS4 install base during covid and a chip shortage. These companies won't skimp on PS4 OR ps5 versions and each will top of class for their respective generation expectations.

@AFCC I wonder if there is an equivalent pc community that begs Devs to get their games to please not work on older pcs 😂

@Bleachedsmiles Last big Bethesda RPG, Skyrim.

@anoyonmus So GPU at 1/3 power and half of the ram, and it's still next gen performance?

@Bleachedsmiles And you can try and convince people and yourself that all those game breaking bugs are a "good thing". 😂

@DualWielding The only game that's falling into that category is the last MLB game. Which scored very high in the charts for the multiplatform year(and the stats did not include Xbox version)

@DualWielding Very few of those games are £70 on ps and on gamepass. Watch Spartacus come out soon and offer better comparisons...oh and lots of new back compat of older gens. Can't wait.

@UltimateOtaku91 Also, no rays were cast in the making of this game 😂
