At the end of the Xbox has to answer to Microsoft and all the good will in the world from fans or Asha hoping otherwise isn’t going to change that…i just don’t see them backpedaling with there exclusives stance at this point

As a huge Shovel Knight fan I’ve been following this closely and for me making it a Souls like was a match made in heaven but I can understand the people who have Soul fatigue from so many releases adopting the style…not everyone has the time or patience for these types of games and that’s perfectly fine to each there own

Unfortunately it seems this may be the beginning of the end for Bungie “not with a bang but a whimper”

Damn I wish we had an Alamo Drafthouse in Philly cause I would totally hit this up…I could take the train to NYC (which I’ve done for some concerts) but I’ll just watch from home instead

I always do re sub to a year of Premium when they do the Black Friday discount…prob the best time for the other tiers as well except maybe the summer sale (can’t remember if they do PSPlus deals then as well)

I have to check my backlog but I’m pretty sure I haven’t played one or two of the middle entry games in the series so yes

PS5 - Saros

Series X - Forza 6 (so much for patiently waiting for the Gamepass Ultimate release)

Switch 2 - Pokopia (still lol)

Gacha - Neverness to Everness (NTE)

@KeyPlayerMaek All the recent Call of Duty games going back the past four entries into the series or so are all bundled together into one “COD HQ” launcher so the player numbers are a combination of anyone playing the recent titles which artificially inflates the numbers quite a bit since it’s not just the latest entry’s player base being shown

Now all they need to do is add the Master Chief Collection as well

I’m all for it especially if this success helps to secure the future of the franchise

As much as I love great single player games…Gacha games are a guilty pleasure of mine so I don’t care where there being made as long as they keep cranking em out I’ll be playing them

A half naked dude skin for once…guess there trying to balance the scales

I played Nine Sols on Gamepass since it was a day 1 release and it was really freakin good….ill def play Wuchang at some point

I’ll give anything a shot especially since it’s the Horizon IP but I’m not holding out hope that I’m gonna like it or better yet that it’s gonna succeed

This prob cost them a pretty penny…which begs the question is it worth it considering the game is basically gonna sell itself

I’m def enjoying it but I’m juggling enough gachas already so we will have to see whether I drop it in a few weeks or not

I noticed Xbox adds Early Access games somewhat regularly (often to Gamepass) and there usually in a buggy, half baked state (at least the ones I have tried) so honestly ur better off waiting a bit anyway

Doesn’t surprise me…Pokopia is the most I have played my Switch 2 since launch

I imagine most players didn’t care if it was sustainable or not, they were just happy to reap the benefits of it all these years…well at least up until the last price hike (I was guilty of this myself)

I ordered that Youtooz Astro Bot figurine (ratchet and clank collab) which u needed a code for that was released to PSP Premium members but it hasn’t shipped yet…these a pretty cool too but not nearly as nice

U can add it over on Xbox as well if anyone’s so inclined to have it on both platforms…it’s free so why not

I was just playing Dead Cells Castlevania DLC and the similarities are striking (which I guess makes sense)

Ahh yes the old “trust me bro”

It’s no secret that the PS3 is notoriously one of the most difficult consoles to emulate due to its complex architecture so it’s great to hear of any improvements on that front

I just watched a gameranx video about a new Jesus game that came out on Steam recently that’s getting positive reception called “I Am Jesus Christ” but it’s a legit game not just some shovelware title

If I didn’t take public transportation to work (I ride the subway and a bus) I’d barely use my Steam Deck and Switch (in handheld)…nothing beats the couch and a big OLED at home…I use my handhelds in bed sometimes but that’s a rare occasion

I beat LotF last year before it left Gamepass and it was a ton of fun but if u don’t like Souls likes this game isn’t going to change ur opinion plus its apparently in a way better state then when it first initially released…def will check out SAO tho

I’m very curious how Darwin will be plus I was a big fan of the OG Super Meat Boy so I’m looking forward to this new 3D game…also South of Midnight is worth a try, I played it when it released on Gamepass and it was pretty fun actually

I got the PS5 at release and skipped getting the Pro this gen…so I would honestly probably pay $1,000 for the PS6 if it came down to it

My buddy got his PS5 this past Black Friday from some wholesale club (BJ’s? Costco?) anyway he got the PS5 disc slim bundle (w/ extra controller and the dual charging dock) for $475….im going to send him this price hike article cause he thought he should wait for a bigger price drop and I convinced him to get it…so it’s nice to be right once in awhile lol

Killer haircut…I was rockin that in elementary school

Im surprised how much i have been enjoying it…i had dropped Arc Raiders by this point but im still going strong with Marathon…I can’t pinpoint exactly why I like it better but it’s def got its claws into me

Well so far on Steam reviews are Mixed at only a 55% with almost 1,500 reviews so seems to be pretty divisive to say the least

Well u had to figure with the insane amount of hype built up for this game that it was always gonna be an up hill battle

I really loved this game but the glazing over it is unreal

I really liked Tsushima’s Legends when they added it so I’ll be def be playing this

Space Marine 2 was recently added to Gamepass so I just finished it on Xbox…as a Persona fan 5 Royal has long been completed…and Blasphemous 2 (as well as 1) are both easy recommends for anyone who hasn’t played them…I’ll def be checking out Metal Eden tho

I’m def still enjoying my time with it….i haven’t dropped it yet so that’s saying something…tho if im still playing it a month from now ill be surprised

Well it’s coming from a leaker so probably best to take it with a grain of salt but either way I’m not really convinced that Nintendo is really much of a “direct competitor” for Sony

I played the server slam on Xbox and it was pretty fun…I also liked Arc Raiders tho but ended up dropping it pretty quick…still I’ll prob pick it up on my PS5 cause i think it looks a little better on it then it does on Series X

I’ll give it to Xbox…for what will most likely be there last console there gambling on an interesting hardware move

Damn what a bummer! This is going to break my PC friend’s hearts…one of them lives close enough where he can come over and play it or borrow my PS5, the rest are gonna be SOL!

@SMJ ur not alone…I’m still pissed about the Bluepoint closure…they should have never had to go forward with that GoW live service game…they were such a talented studio and I’m still having trouble wrapping my head around why Sony thought it was a good idea to close them down…talk about mismanagement

Bummer…it sucks cause I have a few friends who are PC only gamers and it was great seeing how much they enjoyed God of War and shared in our love for Ghost of Tsushima…but in the end it’s not going to affect me in the least but I do think exclusivity is worse for gamers and the industry

Gacha games are one of my guilty pleasures…same with watching magical girl anime’s lol…so I’ll def be trying this out regardless

“Taste the meat…not the heat” - Hank Hill

The writing is and has been on the wall…the downfall of Xbox unfortunately is this long, slow, excruciating process thats painful to watch as a fan…Microsoft should be merciful and just put it out of its misery

That’s very cool…now maybe as a honeymoon gift they could offer to fly them out to play test Wolverine or Intergalactic…lol jk

When it comes to high profile releases I’ve come to always expect the worse…this way I’m not setting myself up for disappointment lol

I’m not crazy about the gacha system…guarantee doesn’t carry over to the next banner and the pity system is overly complicated in general
