Oh well no offense but if this is true there's no xbox only only exclusive left.

Kribwalker2056d ago

sunset overdrive?

Even with that MS has stated from early on that they were trying to unite their PC and Xbox platforms, and they have even made their play anywhere initiative, which blurs the line even more by only having to buy one copy to get a copy on both PC and Xbox. So why wouldn’t they put Halo 5 on PC as well?

What are your thoughts on sony losing exclusives to PC with their PSnow service, including recently Bloodbourne?

XiNatsuDragnel2056d ago

Well my thoughts are Bloodbourne is sadly not an exclusive anymore, but I can name a handful that are exclusives for PS platform at least.

Elda2056d ago

It's still a PS exclusive,no matter what BB can not be played on any XB or Nintendo gaming console & PS Now is a PS service.PC is a personal computer.

Ceaser98573612056d ago (Edited 2056d ago )

I dont understand how people can even comment that BB is not an exclusive . DUDE Bloodborne is a PS EXCLUSIVE ... PS NOW is very owned by Sony... Jeez!! I cant imagine i have to explain this to some xbox fanboys here...

Kingthrash3602056d ago

Bb is a console exclusive...but no longer a true exclusive. Just like tlou knack killzone and others on psnow.

Sony will always have true exclusives but nobody was buying these games on ps4 anymore so the put them in a service making it possible not to need a ps4 to play these games.

Let's not get on xbox about exclusives and then ignore the BB thing...no facts are facts.

It really shouldn't offend anyone at all. Microsoft has already been combining Windows 10 gaming and Xbox. If anything, Xbox one is what people imagined the Steambox would be when it was announced. Xbox's aren't marketed toward people with high end PC's anymore.

starchild2056d ago

Who really cares? Console gamers only care about what games they can play on consoles. PC gamers get to the option to play a great game. I don't see any significant downside here. Certainly nothing that outweighs the positives.

Ceaser98573612056d ago

" Console gamers only care about what games they can play on consoles. PC gamers get to the option to play a great game."

lol! PC gamers write petition to release games on PC ...but if you look carefully Both Console and PC gamers are alike ... No one is different from one another .

Vandamme212056d ago

Rumor: Halo 5 ODLC is coming to Xbox one and PC.

EmperorDalek2056d ago

Trust me, Xbox users don't care if PC users can play it or not. Only the Sony cultists will make a big deal out of it.

CarlDechance2055d ago

You are deluding yourself if you think Xbox "cultists" don't absolutely abhor Play Anywhere.

King_Noctis2056d ago

I don’t think MS care about “true” exclusive anymore. What they want is to sell their ecosystem, which mean getting people to play on both the X1 and Windows 10.

I for one ain’t complaining about that. I don’t own an X1, so I’m happy that they release this game on PC as well.

agent132055d ago

Windows is a Microsoft product so why don't they release their games on it? Xbox one s and x are are actually two awesome and affordable PCs

Pantz2056d ago

80% of all games play best on Xbox One X, so they might as well all be exclusives. PC games are usually filled with bugs and hackers and can't even do HDR most of the time.

CarlDechance2055d ago

You keep lying to yourself if fiction makes you happy.

Liqu1d2055d ago

Are you a compulsive liar?

Psychotica2055d ago

A good gaming PC will outperform an Xbox One X for any game.

jagermaster6192056d ago

@Ceaser9857361

So how does it feel? You PlayStation guys bitch and moan how Xbox play anywhere games are not exclusives even though you have to buy it from the Microsoft store. When Sony has a similar situation going on you back peddle and say no it's a console exclusive for Sony. Man this is why Sony fanboys are the worst!

Doabarrelroll2055d ago

WAHHHHHHHHh! Those big bad sony fanboys WAH!!

Dude shut up, the only people who complain about certain fanboys being the worst are fanboys themselves

And what about it? At Least MS is the only company to have their games at native 4K and 60fr for those that have the cash and the system for it, for those that don't like gaming on PC they Have Xbox, options are good.

AizenSosuke2055d ago

I agree with Natsu's viewpoint here, because it's not focused enough on Xbox. Options are great and makes the value less and less, and finally saturated compared to PS4 only exclusives.

Doabarrelroll2055d ago

Too bad xbox doesn’t have the options when it comes to what matters most games. But hey another controller am I right

Imortus_san2055d ago (Edited 2055d ago )

@Doabarrelroll
Last time i check they have nearly 600 retro compatible games from witch more them 50 running at 4K, they have more optimized games for the One X then the PS4 Pro that relleased 1 year before, they Have Xbox preview, Xbox Game Pass, GwG are 4 games every month plus the Free Weekends, last month they had 10 games free, EA Acess, Cross Play with PC and other consoles, 120hz, more HDR Support them the competition, this year they have put more them 10 MS published games on Xbox One, the ability to play all there games at 4k 60frames on a more expensive system, I wonder about options.

Wouldn't surprise me at all.

Poopmist2056d ago

Cool, maybe they'll add MCC too.

shuvam092056d ago

That needs to come first...
With future sequels coming to PC, it makes sense...
Would also love Gears 2, 3 and Sunset Overdrive on PC too...

TheColbertinator2056d ago

Better late than never but I'd rather see Halo MCC and Reach first on PC.

MadLad2056d ago

Would love both. MCC is a fantastic collection, and Reach is my personal favorite of the series.

Blu3_Berry2056d ago

Allow it on steam or gtfo. Not gonna bother with Windows 10 exclusivity crap.

starchild2056d ago

I, too, would prefer Steam, but I'm not going to miss out on a game I want to play just because it's not on my preferred digital platform.

2055d ago
King_Noctis2056d ago

It is their game after all. They have the right to release on whatever storefront/platform they want.

Blu3_Berry2056d ago

That's fine. It is their choice like you said. If they want to limit their customers to one specific OS then by all means go ahead. I don't have Windows 10 and I have no reason to anytime soon. Windows 7 works great for me. At least EA, Ubisoft and other publishers allow their apps to run on all different OS and not just tied to one specific version.

Imortus_san2055d ago

@blu3_puls3

Just Wait until Steam stops suport for Windows 7.

shuvam092056d ago

Even if it's effectively free???

Master Chief Became More Than A Machine In 343's Halo

In Halo 4, 5, and Infinite, Master Chief became a more nuanced, human character.

In spite of the Halo series’ struggles, 343 deserves praise for adding nuance and characterisation to the ever-beating heart of Halo - The Master Chief. Playing through Infinite, it's abundantly clear that the events of the current and previous trilogies have irrevocably changed the iconic hero. He’s no longer the ‘blank slate’ that was previously presented by Bungie. He’s a fatigued, damaged and fallible protagonist, and one who is meandering through currents of grief, while reveling in his newfound agency. Giving the Chief a compelling and meaningful voice was no small feat, and 343 should be proud of that victory.

kingnick409d ago

This article completely misses part of the appeal of the original iteration of character in the original game trilogy. It was the Chief and Cortana vs an entire alien collective. The blank slate Bungie displayed in their games was genius, he was an mysterious hero a wide audience could identify with because he wasn't as clearly defined as most characters.

The books added a lot of lore and backstory but most Halo players just want a fun game with exposition that doesn't get in the way of gameplay, it's why the Cortana level in Halo 3 was derided.

Not every character has to be a damaged soyboy, a soldier has to suck it up and do his duty.

BandarHub408d ago

A lot of people give the 343 version of Master Chief a lot of slack.
But Fundamentally he is still the same character, he just has a couple more dialogues. He has not changed in terms of attitude.
"Not every character has to be a damaged soyboy, a soldier has to suck it up and do his duty."
And that's what he has done at the end of the day, he did his duty. Watch his partner die, and was ready to destroy the weapon in Halo infinite....he is still the same soilder that everyone remembers

Halo Infintes one was a nice balance between both.

slate91408d ago

Chief and the halo franchise became a joke under 343

Sciurus_vulgaris408d ago

The 343i Master Chief has is based on the books. However, in Halo 4-Infinite, the Master Chief overtime become. gradually becomes more willing to show some emotion.

Obscure_Observer408d ago

"However, in Halo 4-Infinite, the Master Chief overtime become. gradually becomes more willing to show some emotion."

Which is awesome! I love how Master Chief become more John and less soldier.

I didn’t even notice my typos,lol

roadkillers649d ago

I mean, the deal is alright… Unfortunately for me the Serious S doesn’t have a disk drive and unfortunately for Gamestop a lot of those games are on or have been on Gamepass/PSNow.

Sgt_Slaughter649d ago

Given the nature of backwards compatibility on new systems, this is a great sale in case you missed out on some gems from last gen.

Mandingo2020649d ago

Most of the games on Xbox are on game pass. The Switch games in this sale are trash c'mon farming simulator that's laughable. The PS4 games should be cheaper. I can't wait for the GameStop going out of business liquidation sale.

neutralgamer1992649d ago

Seriously man I don't get the hate on GS and I guess you want even less options and give more control to the publishers

And you want thousands of people to lose their jobs because you don't like a company. One thing I have noticed is how most who hate on GS haven't shopped at the actual stores in years. Many who hate on GS have also done so listening to others negative stories or experiences. People on YT want clicks and hating on GS is the cool thing

SurgicalMenace649d ago

It's not people's hate that would lose people's jobs, it's the shady business practices of the company. So what you're saying is that because people work there individuals should just support what they don't want to? Sound advice; Hitler too had supporters, employees, and advocates but people go around hating him too. They only hate because of other people's bad stories or experiences; they only spoke bad about him because they wanted attention. It's been decades; lets give his way another go. With your logic anything could be made to sound good.🤷🏾‍♂️

neutralgamer1992648d ago

SurgicalMenace

Seriously you used Hitler as an example to say company has shady practices

You don't have to shop at GS there are many other retailers. I shop there and vast majority of my experiences have been positive and most of the employees are super nice

SurgicalMenace648d ago

Just having some fun, bro.🤣🤣

Mandingo2020648d ago

There are other places to work besides GS. Plus, their benefits are trash so why not work somewhere else?

REDGUM649d ago

And none of those game you speak of you actually own as they are digital not physical & would cost more than $20 as the subscription costs more than that.

Mandingo2020648d ago (Edited 648d ago )

You know you can get game pass ultimate codes for the low on cdkeys or g2a right? You don't need to have a subscription 😂. GS is trash and I'd rather support the mom and pop game store here instead.

BlackTar187649d ago

Why are you people so full of hate? GameStop gives people jobs and provides a physical appearance to see things in the flesh and not just some soulless online experience.

Mandingo2020648d ago

You can get physical at mom and pop game stores plus you can get it online. GS is trash

neutralgamer1992648d ago

Because Mom and Pop shops cost two to three times more for the same product Angie the answer

BlackTar187648d ago (Edited 648d ago )

Mom and pop stores cost more and have even harder time competing against the internet. Also lie to me and tell you have a couple mom and pop stores near you selling games then lie and tell me you shop there.

IanTH649d ago

These sales, while potentially great, really struggle to be valuable given you can't easily parse what games are in stock. You can't just say "only show what is online & what are in my nearby stores". Probably 60-75% of these games in these massive lists are out of stock for shipping, and out of stock locally. It makes it a chore to find anything you'd want, much less 4 of them, much less enough if you wanted to get to a free shipping tier. It's a bummer.

10 Best Halo Games

NoobFeed Editor Joshua Burt writes - There are many games in the famous Halo Franchise that are stellar titles and need to be revered. And some that do not. These games stand out from the crowd and deluge of colossal Halo titles. Games that made Halo great. We do need to iron out what qualifies the game for this list. They have to be in the Halo franchise… Obviously.

Halo CE over Halo Infinite anyday

Not to mention the impact it had at the time

Flawlessmic719d ago

Halo 3 at the top is correct the only thing id change is swap infinite and halo ce around.

AuraAbjure719d ago

Halo 4 best campaign and multiplayer. Halo 3 best story.

ChubbyBlade718d ago

Are you trying to give people cancer?

AuraAbjure718d ago (Edited 718d ago )

Halo 4 has the hottest Cortana too which explains why the MC is the hardest in that campaign and why H4's multiplayer is the illest. Chief ain't afraid to take on teleporting enemies that can one hit melee kill.
