The way everyone talks around the actual worst aspects of Musk--the blatant antisemitism, racism, and transphobia--while talking about the other weird silly stuff he does is getting annoying.

I love Game Pass. I did cut my PS+ sub to the most basic (online multiplayer and monthly free games only) tier though. I use my Xbox far more often and I don’t find the PlayStation library big enough to justify the price.

Sovereign Citizens are probably the most deadly law enforcement counter and this is not a surprise. The reality of police shootings in America is that as much as it is often blamed on poor training or racial bias, it’s almost always associated with the staggering amount of firearms owned in this country. Nations with…

Do they talk about how like a quarter of all those guys are neo nazis or white supremacist-lite

To be fair I think most games are terribly written. It’s all relative. That’s why I love games like Bioshock or Half Life where the writing is really there to service the gameplay and build mood. It’s probably not a coincidence that Ken Levine was a screenwriter (or playwrite? Can’t remember) for a bit before moving…

The bleakest part of the Cyberpunk future is how everyone talked lol.

Routinely. It can be anything from a simple error to an Xbox game mentioning PlayStation or vice versa. Modern game dev is really complex and it’s not just about how “good” the product is or isn’t, it’s also how closely the product adheres to each company’s rules.

I think it’s pretty incredible and I’m disappointed how limited so many of the critical reviews seem to be. I get there’s not a lot of time to review a game, but the more time I’ve spent with it the better it gets. After the first several hours, the 7/10 score makes sense. Once you actually spend time playing the game…

Sounds like you’ll have to buy an Xbox.

The scale of this game was always going to prove a bit of a letdown for fans who either wanted it to be as vast as Star Citizen (and equally as shallow in terms of actual gameplay) or as detailed as Skyrim or Fallout 4 and therefore far more limited in scope than a game like Star Citizen or Elite Dangerous. Bethesda…

? PS5 and Xbox have the same access issues with games etc. and online.

I don’t want to turn this into fanboy nonsense but I’ve got a PS5 and an Xbox Series X and I’m begging you all to give Xbox a shot this gen. Sony is getting away with murder with some bewilderingly high PS5 sales. 

Makes sense. I’m a GP user and I love it, I think they’d be silly to let people play through Starfield for free. It’s probably going to be a system seller and GP seller. As will the ABK franchises if and when that deal closes and existing Sony contracts expire.

Fallout 4 was a good game even if it lost a lot of the RPG aspects people liked in New Vegas.

People getting upset in the comments here is peak internet brain. 

Most games piss consumers off by moving to a sequel too soon (MW19; Overwatch 1; Left 4 Dead) but Bungie is annoying players by milking a reskinned grind for an absurd price every year. Seriously they charge so much for each expansion and the content is NEVER worth the price of a full release. I really enjoyed Destiny…

This is pretty funny framing. It’s “just” $200? I’d hope so considering it can’t cloud stream or play anything natively. It’s a glorified wifi device.

I want the AC6 Xbox Series X so badly. My wife would (justifiably) insist I hide it behind the TV but I don’t care.

Consumer-side this won’t impact anything, though it does potentially create a scenario where cost rises for certain streaming products, which is so typical for the CMA. But in terms of access to ABK games on Xbox as first-party titles and day-one Game Pass releases, nothing changes. In theory Microsoft will also…

Oh yes. TS2, and I was also playing Goldeneye and Perfect Dark and getting smoked by my friends’ older brothers back in the day haha. The TS2 bots were great.
