There are plenty of things players are upset about with ESO monetization - the completely optional monthly subscription to ESO Plus isn't close to being one that pisses players off. For $15, you get access to every single piece of non-chapter DLC released for the game since 2014. You also get enough Crowns - the currency used in the ESO store - to buy any set of the dungeon DLC you like so you can play them after your subscription ends.
Gunfire Games also released Darksiders 3 in 2018 and Chronos: Before the Ashes - the non-VR version of their 2016 game Chronos - in 2019. That is the same amount of games that Sony Santa Monica developed since 2010. They definitely are producing their AA games faster than most AAA studios are releasing games. One exception is Insomniac where we are getting the third Spider-Man game in 6 years.
"Do you think they got there by not knowing what they are doing?"
Yes, that is why everyone has a Zune, a Windows Phone, a Surface Pro, uses Hotmail, and relies on Internet Explorer.
Seriously, Microsoft is good at one thing and has failed after everything else they have tried since Windows. XBox is the closest thing to being a success in the last 20 years and it have been outsold by every major console competitor since it started. Gamers are ...
The minds behind Redfall and Overwatch 2 together under one roof - adventure awaits...
Boo says the party is only big enough for 1 animal companion. All others will lose their eyes.
Boo would not approve.
Hopefully all the concerned Sony fanatics can sleep easier tonight now that it has been confirmed that the Standard Edition of Starfield for XBox Series X does come with a disc and the reason that the tweet was "mysteriously deleted" was that it was incorrect.
Meanwhile Sony is selling collector's editions without discs, digital-only PS5s, digital-only PC games yet it is just Microsoft that is against physical ownership. Grow up. Neither company is your frie...
@Abear21
Is that why Sony isn't including a disc with the Spider-Man 2 Collector's Edition?
Someone is never sleeping again.
Ahh, the YouTuber behind the whole Spider-Man PuddleGate downgrade is back. I'm sure N4G will react the same way now as it did then...

The only "ultimate" thing Bungie will be able to do with Marathon will be the amount of MTX that they the game with. Destiny 2 Lightfall has a 66 Metacritic score and the game has gone from 315,000 players to just 62,000 daily Steam average in 4 months. Marathon is PVP only yet Bungie cannot even get PVP right in Destiny 2 after 9 years. Last week they broke Trials and both teams spawned right next to each other - and didn't even bother to fix it.
I like how they are trying to rewrite history as if the only problems with Cyberpunk 2077 were with last gen console optimization. Missing features and broken game-play led to every version of the game being vastly inferior to what was advertised.
The Forza series has been the highest rated racing franchise the past generation yet Microsoft barely mentions it in this press release. It shows that they can make good games and also that the people in quality control don't play racing games since otherwise they would know what a good game looks like.
Nothing Microsoft has written here will make gamers forget Redfall. They probably wrote the same thing after Crackdown 3 and in the last 4 years they have released almost no good games to brag about. The only dependable thing with XBox is the PR and its constant spin.
"historically multi platform"
The last 2 Bethesda games Sony paid to keep off of XBox so don't act like there are any good guys here.
The one thing Destiny 2 developers are masters in is "lazy." After 1 expansion and 2 seasons of content, the only weapons that are not reskins are the six from the raid. Plenty of new Eververse cosmetics designs though.
As for difficulty, these same devs just changed Destiny 2 so that you are level-handicapped in most content and will get one-shot if you even step into the new patrol zone before you are max level.

When was the last time Microsoft released a good game that they talked about? XBox 360 generation?
Talk is definitely cheap when it comes to XBox. While the showcase did have a lot of games I am interested in, Microsoft's track record means I have little confidence in them being any good.
Yet PlayStation Studios is more than happy with releasing Destiny 2: Lightfall and its 66 Metacritic score - and this is from the studio Sony just paid $3.6 billion to tell them how to make good GaaS.

Destiny 2 is hardly free. The base game, which Bungie stripped half of it away and hasn't updated the other half, is free. The expansions are not free. You want to play Lightfall - that's $50. You want the current season - that's another $15. You want to play the new dungeon that just came out - that's $20. Cosmetics from the seasonal event - that's $10 for the privilege of grinding away at them.
You clearly don'...
Pikmin is a RTS that lacks PVP multiplayer and sells poorly as a result. I also find the single player campaign lacking in challenge and replayablity. It is fun to play through once and that is it.
