“Someone still tell me why I even need an xbox when my pc can do all that shit better.”

Phil Spencer, the guy who was all-in on letting Smash Bros. include Banjo Kazooie? The guy who greenlit Minecraft on non-Xbox consoles, and included the Nintendo Switch in the “Better Together” update (allows crossplay between Xbox/PC/Switch)? The one who went on an Animal Crossing talk show, who said he’d be open to…

Phil has never really liked exclusives or pushed for brand loyalty though.

He shouldn’t realize that, mainly because it’s not true.

Sony owns the movie rights, that’s it. The 2018 Spider-Man game is only PS exclusive because Sony published it.

Odd that the author says multi-player games were better on the competitor but it was generally known that Xbox live was better for multi-player and multiplatform 

Your mileage definitely varies.

Let me sum up this article:

Because of the lack of really any worthwhile exclusives, and the fact that I just like the xbox controller better, my MO last generation was to buy any cross platform games for the Xbox and mostly buy exclusives for the PS4.

from what I’ve seen of the remake so far it looks pretty faithful to the original.

The style looks completely different it does not at all look like the original game in terms of style. 

That’s the difference between “graphics” and “art style”, which so many people fail to understand. Over and over, devs make the mistake of thinking more polygons and higher resolution textures can make up for crummy art direction and an ugly aesthetic.

I really hate the new look. In the original, everything on screen looked like they belong together. The remake looks like multiple art styles shoved together, especially the differences between the environments and characters.

“And if you do decide to blow your Viking attack horn to start a raid, you can’t freely kill monks or innocent people who are running for their lives. Doing so will cause you to fail the raid.”

Those are some bold claims.

False... but bold.

When you have an overwhelmingly superior military like the US, people will generally do anything it takes to level the playing field, even if it involves committing atrocities and war crimes.

This just in: a crime isn’t a crime if the Other does something worse. Film at eleven.

Fuck the United States armed services. I get that the rank and file don’t want to answer for war crimes but these canned responses are disgusting, particularly in how they try to re-position those questions as attacks on them. Our army is massive and massively overfunded, they have no place playing the victim in that…

Can we add one more thing to that list?

I don’t understand how loot boxes aren’t gambling. You pay money to buy a loot box and in the hopes of getting a rare item. Or you can say, you put money into the slot machine in the hopes of getting more money.
