This. These marginally upgraded consoles have taught be that the next generation is an utter failure if all it has to offer me is more teraflops. We have all the horsepower game development budgets can handle; this generation should last until someone comes up with something that CAN’T be done on current hardware that…

I think an Xbox One to Xbox One X is more “sunk cost fallacy” than it is any actual value, but sure.

No hostility here! Not sure where you’re pulling that from. Trying to walk on eggshells with language considering Microsoft’s disastrous showing with the Xbox One is disingenuous at this point so I don’t see the need to mince words is all.

If you honestly don’t think that exporting all their games has essentially murdered Microsoft’s Xbox division then are you even paying attention? And the reason Sony is absolutely killing it this gen is BECAUSE of their stable of unskippable games that can only be played on their platform. Period. The Xbox One X is a…

People still make MMOs?! That is honestly news to me, haha. Are they still hideous and handicapped technologically because they have to run on every refrigerator and toaster oven like back in the WoW days? Can’t argue with that though, MMOs are PC games and even though I wouldn’t touch one with a 4,000 ft pole, I…

The problem with your logic is that none of the GOOD PS4 titles come to PC. Given the state of gaming and 3rd party companies these days, I’d rather have a PS4 and NONE of the cross platform games than a PC with superior versions of these games but missing almost every single one of the best games this generation. For…

They’re expensive so that you’ll CHOOSE one. Microsoft and Sony have no interest in being anyone’s “secondary console,” so they don’t intend on making efforts to make owning both appealing. Fortunately, Microsoft isn’t motivated to get anyone to buy an Xbox at all, so the choice should be reasonably simple to get rid…

I always love the Stockholm sundown that comes with owning Apple products. Even the second paragraph contains the “it just might be worth it to pay the Apple tax” line that shouldn’t make sense to a reasonable consumer.

Gambling is gambling is gambling.

I’m so, so, so, SO GLAD that Activision/Blizzard is just as caught up in this as anyone. The hubris they showed when trying to separate themselves based on... reasons? That was enough to make sure they needed knocked on their asses too.

This is fantastic news! Now I don’t even need to look into whether the game is any good or not (it won’t be) before I skip it!

Heather, Heather, Heather... Tsk tsk. I’d thought we’d moved outdated terms like “Unfinished” and “Broken.” Now they’re just called “Games before their day 1 patch(es)“ or, if you’re using ye olde English, “Bethesda games.”

“I accept missing textures, buggy landscapes, etc in a day one release or an early access title (to an extent), but shit that makes it to a finished game”

Well those PUBG fans are in luck! I don’t think they have any intention of making that game into one that ISN’T an unholy broken mess of a tech demo!

Wasn’t playing this already but, according to my strict “No Loot Boxes” policy, it is officially on my Never Play list. Still, being free to play, it still stands head-and-shoulders above full priced virtual casinos like Overwatch, PUBG, CoD, Battlefront, etc. I’m just going to pretend mobile gaming doesn’t exist…

Wait, so you think that you should just be able to plug whatever the hell you want into your Switch and expect Nintendo to just take care of it if you screw it up then? Nintendo cannot possibly account for the quality of whatever garbage product you decided to buy in lieu of their dock. Literally, they can’t possibly…

It’s not bias to call an inferior product inferior. There is literally no “non biased” way of pointing out that, as far as redeeming qualities goes, the Xbone is running on fumes. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with bias, it’s literally an opinion, which is ACTUALLY what we’re here to discuss. The rest of it? A…

Yep, and I hope MS makes their next console focused solely on the 8 people who would kill to play a far lower number of the generation’s best games and pay a large premium just to say that their games look the best... Except for the PC which is FAR better supported, looks better and has more functionality. That way…

See, that’s only half a thought really though. A game made after a book consists of a fully fleshed out book with plot and motivations and all those other things while Overwatch has a bunch of marketing materials (glorified commercials) and a game that has no discernable purpose at all from a narrative perspective.
