To be honest agreed. Though if they can make 50-100 of them have significant levels of human crafted quality content, then I’ll be happy enough to have the remaining planets be more barren provided that the proceedural generation systems they used at least makes them somewhat interesting. I’ll konly ever visit a…

Yeah. It’s a case by case basis for xbox when it comes to games and their DLC being included. Some do, some don’t.

Who’s going to tell them that 90 minutes is more than “nearly an hour”

I could see MW2 staying off of Gamepass due to pre-existing marketing deals for the CoD franshise with Sony, that are in place for at least another year or so.

I think we’re in for a bit of a quiet period from Sony. They’ve somewhat shot their load the past few years, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they were in for a minor lull in new releases (though not for too long). Whereas I think Xbox are gearing up to really start their own release schedule Late 2022/2023, after…

Besides, it’s still getting plenty of day 1 games, many of which have been great. Even some of the tiny ones all the way up to the larger games, I’ve yet to regret playing a game on Gamepass, and mostly I’ve had awesome times

Yeah, but the difference is that guns were designed for the specific purpose of killing. Modern assault rifles are the pinnacle of THOUSANDS of years of human warfare when it comes to man portable weaponry. Sure they can be used for sports, and hunting is something that’s important for many. But You don’t need AR15s,…

I’d even argue that the Series S is proof of this. Despite being low powered for a next gen console, it’s flying off the shelves. Most people are happy with games running pretty well, as long as their stable. Us videophiles who want FPS, resolution, settings etc... turned up to the max are really a minority.

There is no SPECIFIC definition, but it is usually defined as at least 3, though usually at least 4 deaths.

“There’s no constitutional right to X” Is a stupid argument. It’s like saying you have no specified consitutional right to draw breath. Or to decide whether or not you like the colour blue. They go without saying for the most part, and for the constitution to define literally every action would be insane.

Ummm, no they’re not the only people complaining.

“Admittedly, this isn’t really why you want people playing your game, but it’s a far cry from the “colonialism” or “indentured servitude” or even the “pyramid scheme” you’re accusing these players of perpetrating.”

You mean the thing which is all about using western world dominance (this time financial rather than military) to get workers producing revenue for them at a vastly disproportionate rate compared to the remuneration those workers are receiving can’t accurately be described as colonialism?

Yes, you can ask the same about all those games, except the difference is that people can give you actual answers as to WHY they’re FUN to play. Dungeons and Dragons lets you use your imagination to go on adventures with your friends. It’s a social experience that requires you to think on your feet and get in…

Reminds me of Konami trying to explain Quiet from MGSV as “a serious story choice but also for cosplay opportunities”

I thought it was specifically Disney, as they have some of the oldest copyrights going (That anyone cares about at least). Everytime their oldest characters (aka Mickey Mouse) is getting close to the “free usage” point they lobby for an extension.

Of all the launch buzzwords and jargon, I think “Smart Delivery” was the one we all laughed at and ridiculed the most. That team must be feeling mightily vindicated right about now however...

Exactly. They did make a bunch of updates to the controllers firmware when the XBS launched, but they rolled out the same updates to older XBO model controllers as well.

Yeah I’m in a similar boat. Series X was always my first choice and I got lucky at launch. I’d always planned to get a PS5 around the time Forbidden West came out, but with the difficulty of purchasing one..... I just don’t really have it in me yet. 

My more cynical side thinks those games were all always going to be cross platform. You can’t just suddenly add back in PS4 support to a ground up PS5 developed title. Sony wanted to drive hype for PS5 by announcing the games as PS5 exclusive, but was never going to leave sales to a 110+ million console base in PS4 on…
