Re: 'I Much Prefer PS Plus' Lifecycle Management Strategy': Devs Chime in on Xbox Game Pass Impact

lazarus11

@Scribedby I just want good games i don't care about game pass to be honest , its 90 percent crap anyway that I would never play , ive got a series x but I see no reason to buy microsofts next iteration , all the games will come to ps6, I know some people think the new xbox will have some sort of steam intergration,but they also think that will allow them to play ps5/ps6 games available on pc , they're stupid enough to believe that sony will allow that , they will block any games coming to a plastic box with the xbox logo on it,i really can't see any future in the xbox as a console , they may as well rebrand it and call it GP

@Barry_vV in interviews hes always come across as a likeable chap , I really don't see what the problem is with him, im sure if i sat down with him and had a chat ,we would have very different views about certain subjects, but the world would be a boring place if we all agreed, no need to hate someone because of that , yeah they can be annoying, but hate is a bit much.

I've been gaming for about 45 years my first experience was a binatone tv master at a friend's house, e33 is one of the best games I've ever played,the story,characters , gameplay loop are all superb , and its their first game,quite remarkable really, shows what you can do with a talented team passionate about there product , excellent stuff.

Re: Romero Games Allegedly Met with Microsoft a Day Before Funding Was Pulled

lazarus11

@mazzel it was an xbox exclusive,microsoft said they would fund development, then told them the day after the meeting, nah we are stopping funding we don't want it anymore , arsehole trick , and the devs should have had a better contract drawn up , so now the game is stuck in limbo , I hope sony takes over and its a massive success and a big FU to ms,wonder if the deal was made before the acquisition, that would be interesting to find out

@Runex2121 God mate don't say that, im 56 this year I've got a full time job and I work split shifts weird hours , ive got 5 kids and 2 grandkids , and i still find the time , never let life get in the way of something you enjoy, its short enough as it is , you can always find the time, ive used holidays from work to play a big game πŸ˜‚ im looking forward to the gears release on ps5 , ill have the controller in hand , cig in my mouth and a bottle of whisky on the table till 4am πŸ˜‚

Re: 'I Much Prefer PS Plus' Lifecycle Management Strategy': Devs Weigh in on Xbox Game Pass Impact

@Scribedby oh i would much prefer for ms to be in the situation they was with the xbox one , major competition for Sony, us gamers are better off for that , just look at sonys releases for 2024 2025 , they're few and far between, if it wasn't for 3rd party deals they would have astrobot, no way that would've happened in the ps4 days , just seems like that's the future of gaming now , which is kind of depressing

Re: 'I Much Prefer PS Plus' Lifecycle Management Strategy': Devs Weigh in on Xbox Game Pass Impact

lazarus11

@Scribedby no it won't go anywhere, xbox is dead without it , gamepass is far more important to them than any new xbox console , its just working out to be far more expensive than they actually thought , it will increase in price as well ,before they release anymore big hitters from their studios, most of the games are just throwaway 1hr gaming sessions, people aren't as invested in a game as much as they would be, if they paid for it in full, e33 would've made a fortune on pc if it wasn't for gamepass , i kind of think they probably regret that decision now, they shouldve had more faith in their product.

Re: 'I Much Prefer PS Plus' Lifecycle Management Strategy': Devs Weigh in on Crippling Xbox Game Pass Impact

lazarus11

@Ricky-Spanish theres more than a few to be fair, id say its yourself that's in the minority , its not just pure xbox its most xbox centric web pages that echo this sentiment, the sales figures of new games not available on game pass is all the proof you need , I know ps has the bigger install base , but even taking that into consideration , xbox sales are dreadful, after the success of expedition 33, I'd wager that the sequel will not be day one on gamepass.

Re: 'I Much Prefer PS Plus' Lifecycle Management Strategy': Devs Weigh in on Crippling Xbox Game Pass Impact

lazarus11

@Ricky-Spanish difference being sony exclusives sell consoles, the only reason ms started up gamepass was because their console was failing ,for years devs and gamers alike have been saying gamepass isn't a viable solution, that's why its full of indie games,they want to get some instant money and rely on ps sales to make up the shortfall, and xbox first party because ms has made their bed with gamepass first day releases, if it was sustainable they wouldn't be releasing their games on ps, you only have to look at pure xbox comments section, they always ask is it on gamepass or I'll wait for gamepass , they simply don't buy games, as time goes on you will see less big hitters on there , it will just be ms first party and the deluge of copy cat indie garbage , its full of those now.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Death Stranding 2?

lazarus11

Gave it a 10 , its superb , kind of wish they would have made getting vehicles a bit harder ,and the fact you can fast travel to most deliveries ,makes them kind of obsolete,im on chapter 7 with 38hrs , the atmosphere is superb , like all the characters but I think fragile is dodgy πŸ˜‚

Re: Best inFAMOUS Games

I loved second son , that special move he does , jumps high into the air, does a backflip , smirks to the camera and decimates whoever was on the ground , it was like a marvel film before marvel films , geat stuff.

Re: 'Sure, Here's a Revised Version of the Text': The Alters Taken to Task for Blatant Use of Generative AI

lazarus11

I quite like AI, I think its a marvelous thing and will improve every single year, I dont like the idea that it will replace anyone's living,but some of the creatures created with it are really imaginative, its only a matter of time before a full movie is created with ai, with regards to the alters its a great game and this was a bit of an oversight , but they're an indie dev and ai probably helped them keep costs down, in that case I'm all for it, just don't be sloppy next time.
