I mean I'm literally subbed to gamepass and bought in to the XBox ecosystem, I just don't think the Series X is the winner this gen, I'm still betting on Sony having the better exclusives until I see game announcements from XBox other than shooters(I don't like shooting games).
Don’t worry, a Sony fanboy with an Xbox is going to become the new norm.
 
Oh well if VR comes to Xbox then obviously VR will be the absolute shit (meaning good, cuz I know u r old)

They did just replace Mixer with Facebook Gaming so maybe that's early signs of an Xbox-Oculus partnership.

Hopefully if they do support it, it'll be with multiple third partys.
Yeah XBox is likely to get VR support next gen unless they don't think it's worth it since it's still so niche.

As far as MS are concerned they won (regarding you)

They don't care where you enter their ecosystem so long as you stay

They're not bothered if Sony sell more PS5s (which is good since obviously they would regardless just through brand loyalty alone)
 
You might as well have directed it to me because @VeevaVee is a very good friend. I would take a bullet for him, so yes it was awkward how you came in this thread demanding peace talks and then start getting involved yourself.

The worst thing is like a pony fanboy you started spreading mis-information. I can’t be having that.
Dude you're dumb. :lol:

Great post <3
 
We need to get lambs back in here, who scared him off?
@Redlambs

Between the Xbox fan boys acting like they'll have more exclusives (yet seem to concede it's quantity over quality) and the Sony ones living off past glories and overlooking some rather dodgy decisions from Sony, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be contributing :lol:


Aww they need back up

Wait, am I supposed to be team Sony now?

No thanks!

Well quantity is guaranteed

But lots of positive signs, experience and creds to suggest we'll get quality too.

Just this year we've had Wasteland 3, Flight Sim and Ori. All great games.
 
Dude you're dumb. :lol:

Guys why can't you agree that each group of you have a different taste in games and just go on with it, I'm sure none of you are getting paid by Sony or Microsoft to defend them

You really are deluded, even the big launch exclusive Halo is delayed, Yakuza: Like a Dragon "performance" mode on the Series S is 900p, honestly other than Gamepass, XBox have nothing, Sony already have announced more exclusives and Demon Souls alone gives them the launch "win", the difference in power will be barely noticeable, let's wait for XBox new studios to announce their games before saying they will have better exclusives which I highly doubt knowing XBox history.

Why are you being so hostile about it? This thread is weird.

This is really beginning to be awkward for you. Are you paid by pony?

My main issue with MS games is that they don't have variety, not that sony 1st party titles have, however for me as long as Japanese devs don't put all their games on MS I can't buy into the console, like I spent around 300hrs between Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal, I don't see any games on XBox like that, Yakuza not being an exclusive anymore is a good get for XBox though it's still multiplat and not enough to convince me of the console.

Have you been paying attention to their studio acquisitions the last few years? Quantity and variety is absolutely guaranteed.

Yakuza is multiplat but delayed on PS5 if you weren't aware
 
Sony first part variety -
Boring racing game living off past hype
Uncharted 15
Assassin’s Creed Samurai
Couple of kid’s games
Zombie game that was quite good with a meh sequel, by all accounts

Doesn’t seem all that.

And no doubt another couple of walking simulators in different skins

I'm aware it's delayed but I don't mind the wait, I meant variety in their big titles, I'm yet to see that other than Ori which I played on PC and Cuphead which I played on the Switch and I didn't actually like, I want to see more than that.
 
Yeah Sony have shite games

And yet let's not forget that of all these games, just because Sony have announced them yet they'll likely have the bigger hitters as usual.

MS have made more moves, and should be applauded, but I think overhyping things like the Bethesda purchase is a little early considering what they've become.

Should be interesting what happens, but for me there's no difference between one side refusing to show gameplay and the other side refusing to announce games we know for sure will be coming anyway. It's all a muchness.


I think deep down, like me, you somehow aren't as excited for these launches as in past gens. Covid has obviously played some role, but all in all these machines and line ups are pretty mundane. Right now if I had to pick just one to start, it would be the X for the games pass I think that's a no brainer. But even though as usual I'm getting both day one, I'm not counting the days as I should be. It's a shame, but a few years down the line when the real next gen games are flowing I'm sure I won't regret it.
 
Was you around for the PS3/360 launch? I was no.1 MS fanboy on here according to Weaste and an army of newbies :lol:
I wish I was. I’ve never gotten involved in this silliness til I saw Elvis giving it the big one :lol:

Doom, Wolfenstein, Dishonoured. All great games in the past few years.

Even if Bethesda don't have another game of the generation or anything as influential as Skyrims and Fallouts again, they still have many studios capable of producing high quality games.

In Obsidian, Inexile, Playground Games they have big potential. I know a guy who just left Rare for Ubisoft who has glowing things to say about Everwild and Rare being back on the up (he was very down on things pre-Sea of Thieves but they've really turned that ship (intended)).

Forza is always strong, even if you think it's dumbed down or nothing on the early games, it's still clearly a strong series.

Initiative is the one I am a little unsure about. Apparently big hires and budget and on paper should be great but who knows, so many things can go wrong.

It's quite clear Halo and Gears won't be relied upon this gen. I'm really curious to see what happens with those franchises and the devs.
 
I wish I was. I’ve never gotten involved in this silliness til I saw Elvis giving it the big one :lol:

He had access to the noobs and I absolutely destroyed the Sony fanboys over GT5/prologue and he went to the noobs and started whipping them up. It was hilarious.

Last gen I went the other way, but only to mock Cider and Alock's love of Kinect 2.0 and all the Bullshit MS were coming out with. (I do wish Spark succeeded but it was as clear as day it wouldn't with how easy the MS fanboys on here thought it actually would be to make games! I remember one talking about making a zelda game on it :lol:)

Those were fun times, there's not a lot to get our teeth into this gen on the piss take front.
