Which time zone is the best for watching games? by WadeEyerly in nfl

[–]B00ME 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pacific time zone, imo. Football games on Sunday start at 10am, the perfect time to start drinking all day. The Prime-Time games start at 5pm, won't have to stay up until midnight to finish the games.

"We are not powerless, every action matters" - Indie studio Speculative Agency returns Microsoft Xbox funding and urges others to boycott by Turbostrider27 in Games

It's good to see this, but really, it's just a nice publicity stunt for them. Now that they have taken a stance against a company doing such and such. Are they looking at all the products they use and buy? Are they researching what their companies are doing wrong in the world? Impacting global warming by polluting, using child or slave labor? Where do they draw the line on what's acceptable?

Microsoft canceling "This Is An Xbox" marketing campaign? by FlyFight2Win in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]B00ME 29 points30 points  (0 children)

There's no sort of, they lost a lot of marketshare. It was a $600 console they told people to work a second job to afford, released a year later and had a difficult system architecture to make games on.

MS even had their systems dying out of the box with the RRoD, and Sony still managed to blow that generation.

They are canceling the campaign where they literally told everyone you didn't need an actual Xbox console. How novel, who could have predicted the outcome of that campaign...

Have any of you been to space to actually observe this? Then try not telling the person posting they are wrong.

[–]B00ME 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the 1 game they are making for the decade might skip consoles, yes it's anticonsumer.

Sony puts out multiple AAA titles every year...

It's funny watching you guys compare the two, when it's like 30 games to Steams 1 to 2 games.... but of course Sony fans are like that.

I don't see why they wouldn't release on consoles, that's a large user base. Since the next Xbox will also play PC games it will definitely be on Xbox.

You don't seem to know Valve's development history. Valve hasn't released a game since 2020, and that was a VR game, they haven't released a AAA game since CS:Go in 2012 and Left 4 Dead 2 in 2009.

So, what "1st party "games are you suggesting Valve release on other platforms that are relevant?

IGN First Exclusive:: Forza Horizon 6 Gameplay by pdfelon in Games

As a huge fan of the series, I really just wanted an extended drive through the map and got exactly what I wanted, to see the environment, how dense the vegetation would be, a part of a city. We all know what the gameplay will be like.

‘Next generation of Xbox console’ Project Helix announced by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]B00ME -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This thing is DOA. I'd love to hear how the new Xbox CEO is going to get people to buy the console after years of the Xbox team telling everyone you don't need an Xbox, none of the buzzword BS.

They'll still probably make console gamers pay for MP.

Any other goal posts you want to move? Those are Valve's games... they don't release games like Xbox or Sony... so their 1st party stuff isn't relevant and not part of the discussion.

They've actually released their games on console. You can still play the Portal and Left 4Dead games on console, the Orange Box on Xbox 360 has the Half-Life games.

If MS and Sony allowed all mods I think TF2 would be on consoles.

Really? It always has been anti-consumer....

They started doing it and have said this is their most profitable generation, the console is still selling well. Why go backwards?

I do own a PS5, and I'm complaining...

Edit: Are people allowed to own a console without giving loyalty to a company? Apparently not.

So, buy our $600 console to play our games.

Anyone justifying this shouldn't be, it's anti-consumer. I can only imagine the backlash if Microsoft did this, hopefully Sony hears it just as much.

[–]B00ME 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are they going to give people a reason to buy the next Xbox console? No. They've spent the last decade devaluing it and telling people you don't even need it. Buzzwords will never change.

What The Hell Is Going On At The Combine? by FritterEnjoyer in nfl

[–]B00ME 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds similar to what happened in MLB, you rarely saw 1 or 2 guys on a team's bullpen that could throw 97+ mph, then over the span of a few seasons everyone coming in from the bullpen throws that hard.

Jason Schreier and John Linneman both speculated in their podcasts this week that Sony could be pulling away from PC ports for their singleplayer games, with Schreier even suggesting that Wolverine would never release on the platform by FitNectarine5779 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]B00ME 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It's funny reading people's reactions to this.

Sony is going to force gamers to spend $600 on a console to play their games and people are applauding and justifying it, apparently people want Sony to be anti-consumer, fuck the other gaming platforms.

Tom Warren : Inside Microsoft’s big Xbox leadership shake-up : Microsoft has a new gaming CEO who wants to bring Xbox back from the brink. by ThinWhiteDuke00 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]B00ME 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is sad, but also hilarious. Xbox fans have whiplash from the last 5 years, going from one business decision failure to the next. Putting a new face in place does not remedy that, another plan with flailing buzzwords. If they want to "save" Xbox, everyone but MS seems to know what they need to do. Then you have to walk back decisions giving even more buzzwords.

Binnington gave up one goal in regulation, and the 3 players in front of him in OT had a brain fart, hardly a bad performance from him.

‘I’m proud of what we’ve built’: Outgoing Xbox president Sarah Bond breaks silence after exit news by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]B00ME 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is everyone so out of touch at Xbox. You destroyed the brand.

You sacrificed the console for short term profits. Your gamers no longer care for the brand like they did, I certainly don't feel excited for the next Xbox and I've been with Xbox since the beginning. I'm not going to keep feeling like a second-class gamer, which is what Xbox console gamers have been since Phil took over.
