@BAMozzy Yes, I agree Xbox isn't dead as a brand, I meant as a console its "borderline" dead, not technically dead yet as a console either, but It's very bad. I also agree with you about how exclusives should be handled nowadays, but more for live service/multiplayer games, not singleplayer or flagship titles.
discussing exclusives is like discussing politics, lol
@neillaw Yes, I do need reasons. I didn't think I would need a reason to play console(s), until I got a PC. Prior to PC gaming, I only had consoles around & when I played them, it was for their exclusives, or for which (multiplayer) game had the bigger player-base, or which console had a better controller for the game. With PC gaming being so huge and so varied with games from M$ and $ony, plus the option to use any controller I please, and FREE ONLINE, with superior performance and mods, it's made it super hard for me to boot up console more.
"No, Sony needs reasons for you to use your PS5"
Yes, I agree. Seems like exclusives is the only way for them to do that at this point.
"seems you can use either your PC or your PS5 and your CHOICE would be to use your PC?"
Yes, I prefer PC, but I still like console gaming. I don't want to only have a PC around to play games, I like having options. Even if I don't use those options much, it's still great to have around whenever I do feel like it. I was raised on console, I'm never letting them go.
And I also have much more history on my console accounts vs my PC account thats only like 3 years old. Also friends that don't game on PC.
@BAMozzy The best times in gaming were when consoles had exclusives. Nothing tops 6th and 7th generation to this day, you could even slide 5th and 4th generation in there too.
I consider myself a real gamer because i like all brands and would like to own all three of their toys, but i need a reason to. I don’t like that PC is losing ps games, but if it’s for something better then i get it. This generation of playstation has been garbage and Xbox is borderline dead.
@neillaw I care because i need reasons to use my ps5 more than pc. I like playstation and consoles in general, id like to have incentives to use them. once you go pc it’s hard to play console as much
@Bizzy I have a PC and still voted exclusives should stay on console. Do you know how hard it is to play console if consoles games are also on PC? PC is a monolith. I practically have to force myself to use my PS5
@cainhurst94 Never heard of Hot Fuzz, turns out it’s a british film. I like the vibes i’m getting from it & can see the correlation. I’ll have to add this film to the list of things to watch before i die 👍🏼
I believe you’re looking too deep into it. Micro$oft (well, Xbox) as you said is free falling, they’ve been spitballing ideas and hoping something sticks for what seems like a decade. $ony, on the other hand, has no anxiety or urgency because the PS5 is giving them the best back rub of their life. PS5s are just flying off shelves left and right.
This is the best era for $ony because of third party live service games and microtransactions; the ps5 is a fortnite, COD, Madden machine for tens of millions.
Also because of live service and digital, Xbox former head admitted that they lost the worst generation because of digital data, games, and progress tied to accounts which is pretty ******* major
@Scottyy the movie was amazing! the perfect weed flick back when i smoked; you didn’t like the silliness or the characters? the visual effects were amazing too. the story is whatever, sure, but the characters & visuals are what carries it
@Randomninja have you ever played halo? The games for the time were amazing and there was nothing like it; halo reach to this day is still better than anything’s bungie put out since
This games a joke, where the ***** are the characters at? i’m sick of this games crap roster; 3 years of this crap. it irks me even more because elena and dee jay are bottom tier characters, waste of 2 slots
@Northern_munkey What if Xbox had the best exclusive racing sim you’ve ever seen coupled with a cutting edge steering wheel set that screamed late 2020s? and the greatest extraction shooter ever bundled with the xbox console @ 50% off; would you touch one then?
@Ahoyman fortnite is what started this wave and pioneered an entire generation of flops. fortnite was the first to the punch, so that’s not really a good example
@cainhurst94 you’re really shocked that third parties sell more on other platforms vs nintendo? lol , that’s been a thing since like, what, the gamecube?
pretty much how i feel about all racing games these days since NFS heat. simulators are a slog (foriza horizon is not true arcade to me) i can’t wait until that one anime arcade racer comes out.
@Kierant202 oh. well, xbox has a significantly smaller playerbase so i’d think any new game that’s free would make a bigger splash there by virtue of how much smaller the pool is
literally just found out about this game last night on steam and now pushsquare published an article about it! i thought this game was already available on console, what a surprise that it isn’t. it’s dead on pc so i didn’t buy it, only wishlisted it, and unfortunately i doubt console will help boost its numbers.
Also , Sammy, SM2 flopped on PC because it’s a mediocre sequel. It’s not a good game for the price, the first game was much better to a lot of people, myself included. The release of SM1 was huge, i remember having people on my friends list play it for weeks, SM2 just came and sort of went
Exclusives give me a reason to play my consoles over PC & i’ve always loved consoles, but i also love PC! so what to do? give me experiences on all 3 that i can’t get on the other.
They should keep porting their multiplayers though; even if it’s a game that has a single player campaign, just port the multiplayer half to pc please. i need that FREE online and superior performance for multiplayer 🙏
it would also give me a reason to buy the same game twice too - console for the full game , pc for the multiplayer so everybody wins
@Queesh they don’t even make physical versions of games like they used to, so they were already losing their magic anyway. the last time devs actually cared about physical cases and putting goodies in them along with the full game was the middle of the ps3 era; towards the end of that generation it was practically gone.
SF6 is stagnant and needs more characters; reveal & drop more (returning) characters Capcom, what’s taking so long, it’s year 3. SF4 was stacked around this time. I’m anticipating my mains to come back
@TrollOfWar @Gemini53 I wish there were more people like you guys around. I can’t stand the divisiveness & bigotry amongst the gaming space; i remember the pushsquare community at one point being far less toxic and free from that BS. Like @Gemini53 said, choice is king, and i’m a gamer that loves all my toys: Playstation, Nintendo, Xbox, and PC included.
It’ll always baffle me that people deliberately choose to shackle themselves to one device or platform.
That’s what the reboot (2018/GoW:R) should’ve been.
They should make a new IP now, give the series a break and try something new like SuckerPunch and Insomniac did, and also Naughtydog during their golden years. Or is Santa Monica full of hacks now?
it shouldn’t be this bad, not for a 2020 console. crazy that consumers approve of mid gen upgrades these days; just release consoles up to date instead of outdated
