Dear lord; what a sad little life Veeva.
I shouldn’t get baited Into this but I think it’s massively unfair. I haven’t seen a toxic playerbase anymore than I have on Xbox or PC. The benefits of PC gaming you don’t have to sell me on, I can see why they would be brilliant but do we really have to be making up false arguments to win some internet points?
I fancy Horizon. Ghost of Tsushima looks pretty but from what I’ve heard it’s fairly meh. None of them are enough to make me want to move away from Xbox, Game Pass, the best controller, cheaper games, and what is now gonna be the more powerful console (more so than the usual minuscule difference. Whether that makes any difference in reality is yet to be seen).
I have enough to get on with without the exclusives to be honest. Before lockdown I’d only picked up my Xbox controller for Red Dead 2 and a bit of fifa in the last few years. I can be an avid gamer at times but go long stints without feeling like picking it up.
@VeevaVee trying to be the new @ciderman1000 here...
Yeh I do get you especially on the time constraints.
Nope. Ciderman just loved Kinect. I doubt he even played any games. All he kept going on about was how Kinect was revolutionary and how it’s going to change gaming. Winding up Weaste in the process too.
It’s kinda odd that you can’t accept anyone not loving the PlayStation as much as you do, even when giving very valid reasons
I’m going the Xbox route the next gen. if Sony had a proper version of Game Pass then it would be the other way round - as my favourite games this gen have been on the PlayStation e.g. God Of War, uncharted, Bloodborne etc
for me there’s so denying Sony have the best exclusives
but I’m going Xbox as the monthly price will mean I’m guaranteed games for ‘free’ (can’t afford to buy games every so often now)
I’m confident that Xbox first party content is going to be much better as well. Obsidian and the other new companies etc. Plus Fable.
i love Ori too and Wasteland 3 has been fun. Looking forward to Halo too - the reason I first bought an Xbox back in 2002.
exciting times for all of us!

It'll take them some time to get going but I feel that Microsoft will eventually have some great exclusives from their new first party studios. At the very least it'll give Sony parties some much needed competition. As much as I like their output I'm starting to getting bored of waiting for the next Naughty Dog/Santa Monica/MM/Guerrilla game on rotation. Would like to see them mix it up (funnily enough, like GG did by moving away from Killzone and going on to Horizon).
Agree with that! I felt that way watching that playstation event every game was like 5th edition plus, more new IPs please!
Erm, I was enjoying the juxtaposition to @esmufc07"s budget WeasteDevil... Don't particular care about who loves what.
Nice attempt at arse licking. We at Xbox do not want you anywhere near our games.
Nobody wants to wait 10 years for the next God of War. I rather they work on that. I agree Naughty Dog should create something else now Uncharted and Last of us appear done. Sucker Punch also moved away from Infamous games to Ghost of Tsushima. So you were wrong again.
I want Insomniac to make another Resistance. You probably have a problem with that because you got something against shooters. You can’t shoot your load or something?
Bojan, pal, seriously. Feck off. I'm trying to have a discussion and you're like that annoying wee bairn who runs into the room and shouts "BANANA" to disrupt everyone because you have to be the center of attention at all times.
I had to look up what bairn means. Yes, I am younger than you and for the last time we are not pals. We will never be pals, so get over it.
You spent all day writing that shitty cringe essay about Xbox names and I was the only one to take notice. You should be thanking me.
Oh great the cavalry has arrived. Haven’t you got more shit threads to create about scummy Liverpool players?
Exactly! I want more original IPs like Tekken 3 or E.T. The Extra Terrestrial.
Tekken 3 was a sequel. The number 3 gives it away. Tekken tag was much better.
Thanks babe
I hope so! I like that there's variety, not all third-person action/story driven games. Fable, Avowed, State of Decay, Gears, Halo, Forza, F Horizon, Everwild and Hellblade is potentially a cracking line up with lots of variety. Add some of what the B tier studios are doing plus The Initiatives game (which will be the hero, 3rd party story driven narrative) and I'm pretty hopeful.
It's clear they are going down the Netflix route. Pad gamepass with lots of quality, varied third-party titles and then push 'Xbox originals' and shift focus to first party once strong exclusives are in place.
I'd love to play a game on Xbox that gives me the same rush I had playing Halo 3 or Gears again. Maybe it's just because I'm getting older and tastes change but I haven't had anything on the One that has caught my eye like those games did.
The whole vs thing is always going to be subjective. I prefer Sony due to the exclusive releases but just as likely really enjoy the Forza developments via Microsoft. Also the platform that Xbox has to replay older titles clearly is a big draw (360 table tennis is a must) but playstation has always been my go to since the PS3.
Shouldn't you be 'loyal' to the teams that develop the games, then? Sony just happen to be the multi-billion dollar company that paid the most for the exclusive rights. It's the equivalent of movie-buffs shitting on Miramax because they're loyal to A24. Tax avoidance, terrible working conditions for factory employees - that's what these companies (Sony, Microsoft) represent. I'm not saying boycott them but to be loyal to either one and to enjoy shitting on the other seems strange.
I know you weren't asking me - but must admit I do have a slight 'loyalty' feeling to Xbox. Growing up I was a SEGA kid, not Nintendo. I never quite felt the same about PlayStation - and when Xbox came along in 2002 I jumped right in. Hard to fathom the feeling - but yes, I always want to see Xbox do well etc
Having said all of that - I fully acknowledge that Sony have the best exclusives right now - and with the sole exception of the 2 Ori titles - all of my favourite games this gen were on PS4.
When you've got a little box sitting in the corner of your room for 25 years, with you through some of the most impressionable years of your life and bringing you countless hours of joy, then it's understandable that you form a connection with the company that's name is on it.
I had a sky box for 25 years, I still hate sky and I definitely do not want to have a connection with them.
That sounds like Virgin Media fanboy talk to me.
For me it's a mixture of the quality of their hardware and software. Reliable consoles + great games = loyalty. That doesn't mean I'm not averse to buying other consoles (I've always bought a Nintendo console for the same reason), but with Xbox I've always had an issue with either the reliability (360) or finding quality games that I couldn't play on another console (One S). So for me I've no reason to buy into the next generation Xbox yet. They've acquired new studios so hopefully that will change.
I don't understand those who would never contemplate buying another console and stick rigidly to the one.
I think this echos my exact thoughts.
You're literally ruining Playstation for people. Let that sink in for a second
Umm so Microsoft just entered a deal to buy Zenimax Media, the parent company of Bethesda. This could mean Elder Scrolls, Wolfenstein, Fallout etc are all Microsoft exclusives in the future. A 7.5 billion dollar deal. That’s absolutely huge.

Big news. Will definitely help Microsoft step up its exclusives game.
I’ll be absolutely gutted if elder scrolls becomes an Xbox exclusive.
Yeh that would be the worst news. Part of me hopes that there’s a deal in place to allow certain IPs to be multi platform. If not I mean Elder Scrolls will be coming out in a goood good few years when hopefully a second hand launch Xbox series x won’t be too much.
Yeh can only hope that’s the case! It’s a big deal though no doubt!
Even if they do allow their games to be cross platform £70 on PS5 vs free on GamePass is a convincing argument for a lot of people to get an Xbox instead.
Theoretically if Microsoft allowed the big IPs to go on PlayStation, does that mean they'll be making money off PlayStation owners when they buy those games?
