Seriously, why should I buy an Xbox Series X if I already have an Xbox One X and a decent gaming PC? There are going to be next to zero console exclusives for it - just multiplatform titles. The PS5 has already shown it's going to have terrific exclusives, and I'll even try to pre-order one if I can. Convince me?

Microsoft will get their rear end kicked if they price Xbox Series X at $599. I mean, rear end kicked worse.

The disc drive is only there in case I want to watch UHD Blu-rays; I'm not going to keep obsolete consoles in my entertainment center. I haven't bought a game on physical media in a decade, and I'm still gonna buy a PS5 with disc player.

LOL how the gently caress does their main system-selling exclusive tentpole flagship game look like so much rear end? Jesus Christ, Microsoft. Next generation console war is already over before they even go on sale.

Is Halo Infinite going to release on PC also, or are they genuinely thinking that it will be a system-seller?

First Xbox (the gigantic one with Duke controllers) was loving revolutionary and brilliant. Not only was it amazing hardware (it had an nVidia GPU and a hard drive) but it had incredible buy-in from Japanese devs. Besides Halo (which *was* excellent) I remember really interesting games like Gunvalkyrie and Panzer Dragon Orta. OG Xbox invented Xbox Live and talking with your fellow gamers. Everything Microsoft has done since then console-wise has only been worse and worse. The first Xbox One was loving garbage. Now they just don't have any good exclusive games.

punk rebel ecks posted:Microsoft is transforming Xbox to a service instead of a traditional console. Everyone who is subscribed to Gamepass/Xbox Live is their primary audience. They want to be the Netflix for gaming. The real money in being a platform holder is in services and royalty. Uh yeah I don't give a flying gently caress about all of that. Do you think the average gamer's primary concern is: "how do I help make Microsoft more money?" I just want to play great video games. I play my fair share of just decent video games too, but if literally all I had access to was "okay" games I would cancel the "service".

The Onion is getting in on making GBS threads on Halo Infinite's graphics: "The muddy textures, flat lighting, and distracting LOD served as an impressive showcase for Microsoft’s latest console the Xbox 360." https://ogn.theonion.com/everything-we-learned-from-the-new-halo-infinite-game-1844498119

ethanol posted:Is horizon forbidden west confirmed coming out on pc? Nope. Releasing Horizon Zero Dawn on PC a few months before the PS5 launch is likely a marketing strategy - and a terrific one. It's a fantastic and stunningly beautiful game, and likely even more so on the latest PC hardware. If the sequel releases in 2021 I imagine many PC gamers might be willing to pick up a PS5 in order to play it. If HFW does get ported to PC it likely would not be for at least several years of PS5 exclusivity.

I just don't think Microsoft demonstrates any kind of awareness of what next-generation gamers want with respect to games. They can scream "12 TERAFLOPS BITCHES!" all day long but that number is meaningless if all their games are multiplatform because absolutely no one is going to optimize for the hardware. They're also arrogant and clueless. Their response to the complaints about the Halo Infinite graphics was basically "how about that music, tho?" I can honestly say that many PS4-exclusive games have moved me on a visceral and emotional level. Those games were life experiences that I will carry with me and reflect upon. I honestly cannot say that for a single Xbox One game.

I actually find the invective and ridicule in the responses to my thoughts that video games can be engaging and emotional experiences to be quite illuminating. Perhaps Sony and Microsoft are targeting different kinds of people as their target demographics - Sony selecting those who might find wonder at the discoveries and reflective narrative of a game like Journey, and Microsoft targeting those who want a competitive gaming challenge and to win the chicken dinner in PUBG. For my part, if you've never encountered an emotional response to a game then I feel sorry for you. Either you're broken inside or you started your gaming experience as a 12 year-old screaming the n-word while playing COD, or we're just playing entirely different games. I'd be genuinely curious to see a political affiliation breakdown by console choice. I'm willing to bet money that more Trump voters own Xboxes than Playstations.

LMAO. The whole association of Trump voters with Xbox really struck a nerve, huh? I played the first Ori on PC, and it was a beautiful game. I have the second in my backlog. They're not Xbox exclusives though.

I just got a Nintendo Switch recently and I have to say Super Mario Odyssey in 1080p (or whatever it actually outputs in docked mode) looks better than most Xbox One games. I know that's down to art direction and a visual style strongly tailored to downplaying the graphics hardware weaknesses but LOL that it's STILL going to look better than the Xbox Series S games. Microsoft is so loving dumb.

LOL I literally can't think of a single reason to buy an Xbox Series X now, and around six months ago I was actually hyped about it. I'm more excited about getting new games for my Nintendo Switch. Good job Microsoft!

It is somehow so appropriately Microsoft to simultaneously offer both the best and the worst values in gaming: Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox Live Gold. Just as they somehow had the most powerful console for the new generation with the fewest and shittiest exclusives. Just as they somehow have the most powerful console with the shittiest and poorest performing multi-platform titles. Just as they somehow have the most powerful and least powerful console hardware at the launch of the new generation. Some exec there is absolutely covering their rear end so they won't get fired.
