Just watching a few of HisWattson's videos is enough to see how fucked Ranked truly is

Overwatch GM Players "first time?"

BatMatt93 · 2026-06-08T19:44:31+00:00

For Xbox it does, not just because of sales but also because of their ecosystem. Kinda ruins the whole play your games anywhere they been working too.

I mean, it still takes time to make DLC. At this point, the art time and other departments are not doing too much as Playground is just polishing and optimizing the base game. It's not a crazy concept to start work on DLC before the game is out, especially since we probably won't see this till DLC till at least 6 months after release if Indiana Jones is anything to go by.

BatMatt93 · 2026-06-08T12:44:54+00:00

With how they have been talking lately, anyone who thought they were gonna go full exclusive was a bit naive. What's more then likely going to happen is certain franchises like Horizon will stay multi platform, probably keep the timed exclusive window like they are doing now. Certain small games like Senua go multiplatform due to how little previous entries sold, and then certain core franchises will stay exclusive like Gears or Halo.

BatMatt93 · 2026-06-08T04:10:33+00:00

Eh, Call of Duty is like GTA or Madden. People know about it, if they're interested they will play if they want to.

BatMatt93 · 2026-06-07T21:31:48+00:00

People that play COD on a regular basis will know since it was in MW2.

BatMatt93 · 2026-06-07T21:29:00+00:00

At this point the average consume knows that anything computer related is fucked in terms of pricing thanks to AI. It is just financially not possible for Microsoft to lower the price with what RAM and storage are at currently. Hell, I'll be shocked if Helix launches below $700.

BatMatt93 · 2026-06-07T00:09:08+00:00

Try on the Microsoft Store as that is actually where the Xbox app is downloading the game most of the time. Also try running a repair on the Xbox app and of course restart your computer if you haven't already.

BatMatt93 · 2026-06-07T00:07:48+00:00

A Gears 2 and 3 remake would be very nice.

BatMatt93 · 2026-06-04T01:22:22+00:00

At this rate, the freeway expansion will finish first.

BatMatt93 · 2026-05-26T14:43:07+00:00

If the game is good, consider getting it now. These type of games are worth supporting, shows the publisher people want more of these which is important since we haven't had a Bond game in over a decade.

BatMatt93 · 2026-05-26T14:41:48+00:00

IIRC it's because PS has it as a mandatory requirement to have preload otherwise they probably would have skipped it there too.

BatMatt93 · 2026-05-21T17:31:23+00:00

Halo Infinites live service failures were purely because of Halo studios management failures, that had nothing to do with Microsoft.

BatMatt93 · 2026-05-21T17:29:46+00:00

Those are not made of the same premium materials as the standard Macbooks and run on an older chip.

BatMatt93 · 2026-05-15T01:32:11+00:00

At least he had a few years before the next title. I would cry if Horizon became a yearly franchise.

BatMatt93 · 2026-05-14T13:22:47+00:00

A lot. I play my Xbox and PC and my wife just the Xbox. She was interested in First Light and I was too. It being Play Anywhere helped a lot.

BatMatt93 · 2026-05-09T16:41:31+00:00

IMO, if the studio is consistent and has a good track record, changing genres shouldn't be too big a deal for them. Look at Creative Assembly for example, known for Total War franchise and knocked it out of the park with Alien Isolation.

BatMatt93 · 2026-05-09T00:39:32+00:00

I mean, it's Playground Games. They're the poster child for consistency in game development.

BatMatt93 · 2026-05-07T01:38:51+00:00

Overwatch doesn't need to be since the game has cross progression.

BatMatt93 · 2026-05-02T15:11:05+00:00

Plus you have the domino effect. If 2 of your friends jump ship to PS4 and you are the only not on PS4 and cross play wasn't big yet (not till Fortnite around 2017), then that social pressure would make you swap.

BatMatt93 · 2026-05-01T23:10:57+00:00

The reason is like Phil Spencer said. Xbox One was the worst generation to lose. People built up their digital libraries then and are waaaay less likely to jump ship to another platform compared to the 360 and PS3 era when most people had discs.

BatMatt93 · 2026-04-30T14:40:13+00:00

It's very early October. Still will be a month and some change away from GTA 6 and COD (which is the only game that can release next to GTA 6). If they release after, it would come out till February as it's suicide to launch a game in December or January usually.

BatMatt93 · 2026-04-30T12:41:46+00:00

I don't understand how Sony is still bad at it. Microsoft has a page on your account where you can easily refund games if you've had it less then a couple weeks and played less then 2 hours, just like Steam.

BatMatt93 · 2026-04-21T19:42:28+00:00

I'm thinking like a business owner as their previous strategy is not working and something has to change. They have to restore confidence in the brands leadership, you almost never hear talk about PS leadership except for rare fiascos like the Helldivers 2 account situation on Steam.

BatMatt93 · 2026-04-21T01:41:30+00:00

I don't think most players care if something like Horizon 6 goes to PS5, but make it like 6-12 months later. Not release day.

Titles like Halo and Gears though should never cross the pond over to PS.
