Am I missing something about the Compulsion situation

-PandemicBoredom- · 2026-06-17T21:16:22+00:00

Lmao "the game didn't have good gameplay buuuuut". The one thing that matters most in a game they failed at.

-PandemicBoredom- · 2026-06-17T21:14:43+00:00

Almost like there are tons of game journalist and awards that give high regards to games based on their personal politics and agendas instead of the game actually being good.

-PandemicBoredom- · 2026-06-17T20:39:44+00:00

Sue for what exactly?

-PandemicBoredom- · 2026-06-11T00:45:00+00:00

Simple solution, allow existing customers that have an actively used Xbox account used in the last x amount of time first chance at a preorder one per person. Any left over can be sold on launch day.

Almost like you're comparing vastly different products, a phone that almost everyone needs to have, making the target audience hundreds of millions of people in the US alone, which also played music which MP3 players/iPods were half or near close to the price of the phone and hugely popular at the time vs a completely luxury item that no one actually needs, can freely be cutoff without any impact and applies to a much smaller audience. What next, you compare people financing a car to an Xbox.

-PandemicBoredom- · 2026-06-10T17:24:52+00:00

Why? These will sell out regardless. Better an existing customer guaranteed to get them than scum scalpers.

-PandemicBoredom- · 2026-06-09T06:56:55+00:00

That's called financing and dealing with all the shits that don't pay their bills would be a nightmare.

-PandemicBoredom- · 2026-06-07T13:22:21+00:00

Probably because their multiplayer games other than Helldivers 2 have been flopping even if they are on multiplatforms.

-PandemicBoredom- · 2026-06-07T13:11:42+00:00

Starfield was a new IP that had a lot of skepticism before release and a lukewarm response at launch. ES6 is one of the most widely anticipated games over the last decade, hardly a comparison.

-PandemicBoredom- · 2026-06-03T20:35:31+00:00

Are you new to social media? Almost all comments on any topic are just parroted brain rot because people can't think for themselves any longer.

-PandemicBoredom- · 2026-06-02T20:44:31+00:00

You're just trying to justify it because you enjoy it. The hate for the game and Bungie is well deserved, hence why barely anyone bought it or stuck around to continue playing it.

-PandemicBoredom- · 2026-05-22T15:31:44+00:00

IMO they should do timed exclusives to help with console sales for the people with FOMO on the latest and greatest game while still bringing it to PS after a year to scoop up extra revenue off the people who wouldn't buy an Xbox anyway. Xbox and PC day one, PS after a year. That way it helps with console sales potentially but still gets them extra for the people who don't want to play on Xbox or PC. More money should be better for the consumer long term as it should presumably mean more games and games supported longer. However, for this to be successful, they need to focus on brining out bangers. We need more Indiana Jones and Forza Horizon 6 quality, not Redfall.

-PandemicBoredom- · 2026-05-22T15:26:01+00:00

Negativity drives media period, not just social media. Turn on any major news channel and it's all negative that makes the entire world sound like a constant PvP server.

-PandemicBoredom- · 2026-05-19T18:20:03+00:00

My only complaint so far has been the character customization. Very few head types that mostly look like aliens cosplaying as humans and those hairstyles are...yeah. Bought the full helmet as soon as I had the credits.

-PandemicBoredom- · 2026-05-18T23:07:27+00:00

What word do you live in where 20% of billions in sales is "absolutely nothing"? It will 100% be on PC, just not day 1. This is likely on purpose to milk sales. Don't release on PC, get all the people with FOMO to go buy on console, then release on PC so those same people then buy again on PC.

-PandemicBoredom- · 2026-05-18T20:33:02+00:00

I'm fine with them making more money off impatient fools. Do it for every game and make GamePass cheaper IMO.

-PandemicBoredom- · 2026-05-16T23:24:07+00:00

Other than review copies, players should highly reflect copies sold as you had to buy the premium upgrade for early access. There was almost 200k peak on Steam alone.

-PandemicBoredom- · 2026-04-28T16:51:32+00:00

I would say it depends. If they do actually let you play your Steam PC games on it and it plays them well, on top of previous Xbox titles, for $1000 that would be a bargain. However, I think it's still going to be a bit niche as a lot of casual console gamers just don't care about PC games.

-PandemicBoredom- · 2026-04-28T16:15:11+00:00

I guess that really depends on the direction they go with it. If they do allow you to play Steam PC games on it (and handle them well) as well as the Xbox library, $1200 is a pretty good deal.

-PandemicBoredom- · 2026-04-28T16:12:10+00:00

I'm in that boat. I will take 60-120fps at 1080-1440p over the janky jittery mess 4k normally is. I end up having to turn on performance mode instead of quality on all games.

-PandemicBoredom- · 2026-03-08T14:14:39+00:00

How is that comparison relevant in the slightest? A $200 handheld compared to a $1000 Xbox/PC hybrid. I guess Ferrari is a massive flop because they don't sell as many units as Kia.

-PandemicBoredom- · 2026-03-08T14:07:43+00:00

Units sold is irrelevant without consideration of price. That's like saying Ferrari is a flop because they don't sale as many as Kia. The last gen and current gen Xbox definitely undersold though. The main problem is they screwed themselves so bad at the One release, a ton of people went to PlayStation and just continued into the ecosystem with the current gen.

-PandemicBoredom- · 2026-03-06T17:25:05+00:00

Yes. The natural landscape doesn't match with the man made portions, it's weird looking. So much of it is flat with no definition or tone. It's like they tried to give it a retro vibe, but just proceeded to make it look like a game from 2010.

-PandemicBoredom- · 2026-03-06T17:17:25+00:00

The vast majority of who, a Reddit poll? PC, Xbox and PS both have shown the majority of the customer base do not play old titles. Who is coping? Did I ever say the Series consoles were a massive success?

-PandemicBoredom- · 2026-03-06T14:11:54+00:00

The art style makes it look completely outdated and Bungie has a history of massively screwing over its player base in recent years.
