I enjoyed Ryse on PC :colbert: but iirc it was something like 900p30 on console, not a good look for a flagship

Tbh it looked great on the Xbone too, definitely one of the best-looking early games.

Too bad it's just a pretty bland game, though it did have many enjoyable parts too.

Way better than the order 1886, but less pretty, tho the order slipped over a year from its launch window into 2015 from delays

im in the whole group of people who got ps4s for destiny, which must be huge considering how many people i know wound up with the white console/ds4. i remember that generally being when everyone was getting new consoles, because while it was a cross-gen game it was per-platform multiplayer and it was the time that everyone was like "well if i wanna play with my friends i know they're all gonna be on the new consoles"

thank god bloodborne came out later so i didn't feel like such an idiot

battlefield 4 was a fun launch title even if it ran/looked like poo poo.

i liked forza 5 a lot but i didnt buy it until well after they patched out the MTX. I actually liked forza 5 much more than 6 because i hate how they changed the driving model

now forza is like........... ugh... for many reasons

I'm converted to gran turismo and iracing. I'm sure ill try the next forza on games pass to see if they improved it tho.

Nintendo isn't launching 2 console SKUs after hitting a wall under the green flag last time. Microsoft REALLY has nothing.

i'm going to buy it and the ps5 (once they come out with one that doesn't look ridiculous) and occasionally glance over at them while i'm using my nt mini to play the same games i've been playing for 30 years.

I mean, it was already simulaunching with the One version and it clearly wasn't some sort of graphical powerhouse that would be greatly enhanced by playing it on the XSX. Sure the optics are bad for Microsoft, but there was already basically no reason to get a Series X. This doesn't really change anything.

im not done with all the amazing games that are already on the switch from earlier this year and idk about launch windows between now and summer 2021 but upcoming games i want: smt6, mario galaxy remasters, botw2, bayonetta 3, upcoming mario sequel.. off the top of my head

I think looking at a small launch window around the other console launches is the wrong way to look at the current state of the switch which imo is amazing.

Honestly probably really for the best that they're delaying Halo Infinite. I'm surprised that Microsoft was willing to take that step though.

Almost like those games were already finished and only delayed because Sony was unsure what the effect of launching a game during a pandemic would have on physical sales.

This actually reminded me I never actually bought a game with my Xbox 360 when I got it, which may have been the January after launch? 360s were so hard to get.

For a few months I only had Hexic installed on it and got Outpost Kaloki X on Live.

I didn't buy a full priced game until Burnout Revenge and GRAW launched.

I don’t expect them to do that

I agree with those that think the Series X is going to be priced higher and that the Series S or whatever they call it will be closer in line with the PS5

Michael Pachter believes that MS is waiting for Sony to announce price first, because they want to undercut the PS5. MS has a lot more cash than Sony, so it can afford to take a loss on the XSX. Sony on the other hand doesn't want to sell at a loss, but obviously doesn't want to price higher than MS.

That's why we're in this lovely stalemate where neither of them will announce the price.

People are going to get their consoles and get home with them and play them for weeks until they decide on a price and finally bill people.

I think that speaks more to how little Microsoft is invested in hardware this coming generation. They're more interested in Infinite pushing Game Pass subs than consoles. I can see MS willing to delay Infinite in the hopes that more dev time will make the game more enticing for Game Pass subs even if it hurts XSX sales today.

Plus, MS could be forecasting that they'll be backordered in XSX sales through early 2021, and so delaying Infinite might not even impact their console shipments.
