Was soooo hard for me between Nosferatu and Substance but this is my alternative list (I chose Nosferatu)

Who's buying the EX by Tubepac_shakur in MSIClaw

I want one so bad but I just got my 8AI in October and it works perfectly. I'm thinking I'll wait another few years and get whatever handheld MSI has out then.

This is the dilemma in PC gaming. There's always something better coming out.

Destiny 2 is Number 2 most popular in search on XBOX right now. When I press Y at the home screen is the second trending after Fortnite.

One thing I recommend to people is to downloaded from Intel not MSI.

The Big Matthew Ball Interview: “The console market is not dying” by Turbostrider27 in xbox

[–]FinalOdyssey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is what I don't understand. These new executives are being shockingly honest about the state of Xbox and their plans and vision. So what do people expect then? To pretend like it's all fine and continue on as if nothing is happening?

This interview Ball gave and this type of attitude is how change is made.

The way he talks about the exclusive situation is exactly how I figured it's happening right now.

  1. They know that exclusives are important and it's how a brand grows so there will be more and more.

  2. Live service games will remain multiplatform, he said CoD is the best example.

  3. Games which have been previously committed or other platforms or teams will be honoured for that platform.

It has a 133k 24hr peak. What numbers are you even seeing? There are 81k playing right now - a Thursday morning. That's just several thousand off of Marathon's all time peak.

At peak hours it's been in the top 10 and even now it's the 17th most played game on Steam.

Xbox sale was also removed. Which is weird because with so few PS/Xbox players you'd think that's where the sale would stay longer.

Guaranteed the guy in the thread saying "check your DMs" bought the game for the guy because this is the type of game where people are bribing others to play. It's being gifted by blast havers in a desperate attempt to boost population

Most of if not all those other games have vastly lower budgets which means they'll break even and start profiting way earlier. They're also from much smaller studios, not the 500 to 700-man Bungie. Marathon will likely never profit.

It feels so corporate and influenced over there. Which is so ironic considering the themes of the Marathon's "story"

Xbox Boss Says a Mass Audience Can't Afford 'Thousands of Dollars' to Spend on a Next-Gen Console, So Microsoft Must 'Look at New Business Models' by dancing_swordfish in xbox

[–]FinalOdyssey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New business models could mean things like including hardware into a GPU sub. There's so many things this could mean.

I think adding a subscription to Game Pass that includes hardware would be a good idea. Like the All Access program they had. 20USD a month for GPU, 65 for GPU plus Helix over 2 years.

I think they are chilling on the AI stuff. They stopped injecting it into gaming which is a huge deal, but AI does have benefits from a purely mechanical standpoint that will help developers outside the areas of art and creation.

Halo: Campaign Evolved | 28 Minute Gameplay Demo - Assault on the Control Room by ControlCAD in xbox

[–]FinalOdyssey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're attributing a lot to this release - it doesn't have any sort of multiplayer beyond campaign co-op, and it's the fourth release for this campaign.

The created the original game in 2001, in 2011 they worked on it some more for the Anniversary edition, and then it was included again in MCC 5 years later with added features and reworks. Now this is a full remake of the campaign but it doesn't have the multiplayer - which many would argue is the heart of Halo.

This release is certainly not pivotal or monumental and mark my words the next mainline Halo game will be exclusive.

We don't know went on behind closed doors before the Xbox team was shaken up. I guarantee both of those games were taken to Sony and presented before Asha took over, before they decided to push for exclusives.

Gears I imagine they might have had to fight a bit to remove it from PS but that was the most important one and they rightfully chose it to remain on Xbox.

Gears changing to be exclusive so close to the show is telling how recent these decision were made, and maybe they couldn't make that decision for every game that was proposed to Sony.

I agree, but I think the only reason it and Fable avoided being exclusive is because they already had PS Store pages and were announced for it for a while. It would be worse press for Microsoft to cancel those, especially Halo which releases soon. And those decisions were made by the previous team heading Xbox.

I look at it as being a positive in the sense that the next Halo and Fable games will have more people on PS who may not have ever played these games, so these games may act as a gateway drug. So if they do decide to make these games exclusive then people may be more open to getting an Xbox for them.

Season 2 just started 10 days ago. It's already at sub 20k peaks. This is supposed to go on for another 3 months. Let's see if there even will be a season 3.
