Dude, quit being so dense. You’re adding nothing to the conversation and making Hiemoth do all the work for you.

It’s not easy being cheesy.

It also seems that Phil Spencer and others at Xbox might have indeed been disturbed by reports coming out of Activision, but not too disturbed or disgusted to still see an opportunity to buy up the company.

Basically, I blame the people who pushed this out the door to hit a release schedule a lot more than I blame the people who worked through a pandemic to actually make it.

As soon as I saw Halo had grass I got BOTW vibes for sure. What an influential game.

Sucks to be right sometimes.

I think they’d still both be here, but the industry might look very different if Sony dominated that generation

I was a young teenager working at Electronics Boutique in the lead up and launch of Xbox. I remember the $500 million marketing budget, the barrage of materials insisting “the most powerful console ever,” and the whole “we’re so cool” SEGA-Genesis-esque appeal. My older adult colleagues were completely enamored. But Ha…

Can we just acknowledge how incredibly cool it is to release something like this? More of this, please, from all companies. 

Can you imagine those first 15 years, how much they would’ve gutted Nintendo of everything that makes them great? Especially under Don Mattrick, who didn’t have a fucking clue what he was doing.

it’s ludacris and almost predatory.

The co-op elevates them so hard, especially if you can get someone in to play on the couch.

I dunno, man - do you have a guest writer posting your comments, or are you actually trying to come across as kind of weirdly judgemental and entitled?

Are you saying we should stick to sports?
