I’m pretty sure many people who discovered spider man in the 60s and 70s and are now 60-80 years old themselves today, are probably not gaming spider man on their PS4/PS5.

Also Marvels Avengers kind of negates your point because that game had more brand recognition , yet still failed.

Buy the PS5. Subscribe to Xbox GamePass Ultimate. You won’t regret it. Just my honest recommendation as a long time PS only user and my experience the past 6 months since I’ve tried it out.

With Ultimate you get access to the Cloud Gaming which has run great on my Samsung Tablet. I’m excited for it to come to PC as well and being able to stream on there as well. I don’t have a gaming PC so that option will be invaluable to me. Get access to Exclusives and some decent relea...

@Darkwatchman

That’s not true at all. Here is a direct quote from Mac Walters of BioWare. They have been transparent in saying they aren’t touching next gen because it’s a bridge too far without a complete overhaul:

Though Mass Effect: Legendary Edition will be forward-compatible with PS5 and Xbox Series X when it launches this year, BioWare currently has no plans for a dedicated next-gen release or an eventual optimization patch.

I mean this is a PS3/360 era franchise so I have no problem with it being optimized for X1/PS4. It’s a generational improvement. That’s where they are going to get most sales. If they spent time optimizing it for next gen it would be more work for less returns. I hate when people complain about not getting stuff on Next Gen consoles in the first year after launch. This is normal and you have to understand the previous consoles will always be priority until year 2. This is a personal problem n...

Too bad Godfall did absolutely nothing to show us the power of the SSD.

How about less talk, make a better game

Microsoft pays the developers to put the games in their service. Sony is pushing this multi platform because I think they understand it’s a chance for additional profit on a video game product that’s not super personal because it’s a sport and not a franchise like say Ratchet and Clank. Maybe they are just dipping their toes in exploring the idea of cross platform franchises.

If MS went to Sony and said “Hey well give you a boatload of money so we can offer this in GamePa...

Lmao they wouldn’t reboot a franchise just because the lead writer left. Like you think this is the only dude in the industry that can write for this game? Hell even outside the industry? Or no one at Ubisoft is worthy of a promotion?

AC is like a top 5 selling franchise on the market over the last decade and probably already have 10,000 applications for this position.

iplay1up2 The Medium was not a “great” game. If you want to say you enjoyed it, cool. But to say a game is “great” when clearly it wasn’t, is idiotic.

I find it funny you have the $$$ to purchase both next gen systems, yet you held out on buying Squadrons after proclaiming you loved the demo. And it’s actually a good game, original gameplay, and reasonably priced at $40 at launch and has been $20 recently. Yet you bought the same recycled sports games?

Makes me think if you even own any of these things and you just commented for the hell of it. Because if you were holding out, why didn’t you purchase it at $20?

What are you talking about? Their Japan studio made games like Knack and nothing they made was profitable. And sometimes they helped out on other projects. Just because Sony is a Japanese company doesn’t instantly mean that studio is important lol. And that has nothing to do with Japanese games

Can’t even get the enhancements on the Series S...shows that console version is pointless. No point in getting it if you have a One S/X. I know it’s still more powerful, but these developers aren’t going to risk bad performance designing for it, and are going to treat it like a last-gen.

I applaud People Can Fly though for making this game playable on all consoles with cross play and look forward to supporting this game. The fact they are releasing a demo also with about 3...

I kind of agree and think the GamePass model is dangerous if it becomes the norm. It could easily become a “live service” model fiasco in future where the quality is sacrificed for quantity in the form of “future promises”

And especially considering the first big swing Microsoft has taken in exclusive games was The Medium, and it was kind of a dud. I’d rather them pump more effort into the quality of those games rather than the ability to stream games anywhere.

What do you not understand about a SECURITIES Class Action Lawsuit on behalf of PURCHASERS OF SECURITIES Aka Investors

This has nothing to do with whiny consumers. This is not about the people who played this game on consoles. They are being sued by INVESTORS. The reason companies like EA don’t get sued is because their investors already know they are trying to screw consumers. And they are okay with It.

CDPR lost BILLIONS because they lied and misled co...

@PertySlick - If a game is rated E for Everyone, like FIFA and Madden, and has predatory MTX, that's bullshit and they need to be came down on harshly. No game with stuff like this should be E and not even have warnings.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I think the bigger issue at hand is the fact that the companies are able to target and profit off of stuff like this without it being regulated. Whether it's kids, teens, adults, grandparents who are doing ...

While you're not entirely wrong, you have to understand that the dynamic has changed over the past 10 years with our world transitioning into a cyber dominated, transactional environment.

I personally put PINs on all of our media devices, monitor what our kids are watching, and require approval for all purchases. However, I'm human, and something could easily slip through the cracks through 18 years of raising 3 different children. That's 54 years worth of r...

Yeah well the original quartet consistently got worse each game, and the series converted to a Handheld system franchise with bad ports. So maybe best for a change of the guard anyway.

I just don’t know if “espionage” types of games are in market anymore. If they were I think we’d see Ubisoft pump out Splinter Cell every other year like Assassins Creed games. Even that series has evolved to more of an RPG like. You have to really nail them (Metal Gear Solid, Deus Ex, Disho...

@seanpitt23 wow “everyone” should do something is a pretty strong statement. There are many factors that go into making a game 18+. Nudity/Sex is not something that shows up in all “M” games so having the option is a nice feature.

I personally don’t care for nudity/sex in video games or really movies/TV now that I think about it. I don’t look down on people who like it, or prefer to keep it on. Just not my thing when I’m gaming or watching TV. I think sometimes it can ju...

Bro, you’re worried about 4K streaming when these services can’t barely get cloud streaming steady at 720p!? I’ve tried Stadia, GeForce Now, currently subscribe to PS Now, and GamePass to use for X Cloud. It’s so hit and miss with ALL. I can be right next to my Gateway and I have 5G with 1Gig internet. Sometimes they run Great, other times the resolution takes a huge hit or Framerate tanks In my honest opinion, X Cloud has not impressed me so far. Sometimes I have to re-boot it 3x just to ...

It is his job, and people need to quit acting like Executives are supposed to do anything different. Phil Spencer does the same thing just in a different style. He talks a great game, but has not delivered anything exciting to the video game industry in 7 years since he took over. And it took him a whole lot of cash just to wow anyone. Good job bro. I’ll be impressed when you release 3 very good new games that’s not Gears, Halo or Forza or any continuation of an IP that you bought.
