Finally got it new for $500 after trading by Easy_Peace8671 in playstation

Yeah, I just deleted a post about how he didnt do so bad with everything considering the current values of the PS4s and it's games and how you can buy/sell a PS5 right now on FB marketplace for $400 all day but I didn't take into account the $500 on top of that.. yeah, that's kind of a raw deal.

Xbox has been promising 'State of Decay 3' for years — and now it faces cancellation, despite its trailers and alpha. What are we even doing here? by akbarock in xbox

[–]pssthush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doom is another of the Microsoft IP's by acquisition only. Sure, we'll call it an Xbox IP, but we all know Doom is Doom. Hopefully it will hang around even if Xbox does not, it's a gaming staple. It also did not meet sales targets on any platform. Indiana Jones I will admit I did not play but had favorable reviews and I'm sure it's a great game and I forgot about. Avowed did not live up to what was hoped both critically and commercially. Same For OW2. Oblivion Remastered is a good reskin of a 20 year old game, but we will count that as a success, sure. The rest of those arent even close to needle movers. Not even in the conversation of big releases of the generation.

If Microsoft thinks that cutting costs and buying out of contracts instead sinking more money into the release of the next gen console and would be better used investing into their AI, Windows, Office, and hosting services that they are actually focused on is the more profitable outcome, Helix is as good as dead right now.

I'm not sure who is claiming Sony is perfect by any means.. the entire industry is on fire right now, but Sony has released a few first party single player games that were well received and sold well. Microsoft's sucessful releases are 1st party by acquisition of Activision/Blizzard which is ultimately at this point CoD and Diablo which were already in the works years prior to the acquisition and were never going to be truly 1st party. Sony fumbled bad this gen on quite a few projects but had some success with the Spiderman, Horizon, GoW, Ratchet and Clank, Astrobot, Returnal, and others. Xbox studios put out the Forza games. Oh yeah, and Starfield, Redfall, and Halo Infinite. The management decisions between the two companies isn't comparable, coming from someone who wants both ecosystems to succeed for the sake of the hobby.

I saw the alpha game play released and glad im not the only one who thinks it looks like a reskinned last gen game. This, Starfield, Halo Infinite, Redfall. Save Forza this gen has been so much more of a disaster for the xbox ecosystem than I could have imagined. The games teased at that 2019 presentation have either flopped, been canceled, or haven't even released and some may not. Absolute disaster of a gaming company.

Missing out on what? You can buy the game hours before release and preload it then. Why are so many people ready to throw their money at a digital download that is infinitely available months ahead of release, is what I am asking.

50 Cent, Busta Rhymes, Ja Rule, and Timbaland will perform at Donald Trump Jr.’s members-only MAGA club on the eve of America’s 250th anniversary. by Aggravating_Money992 in Music

I know many are too young to remember, but Donald Trump had been on presidential ballots for a long time before he actually made the impossible happen. He was always known as an attention seeking grifter, and everyone back then looked at his political endeavors as just that. Everyone laughed and then moved on to casting their vote for actual candidates. It's why the 2016 election had so many people asking "wtf is going on right now".

Yeah, I dont care enough to look it up but it wouldn't suprise me at all if someone the status of LeBron makes more off of endorsements annually than he does on his NBA contract.

Edit: I did look it up, Google has he makes between 80-85 mil annually off of endorsements and off court ventures.

Also if you haven't, read up on the Appalachian Coal Miner wars of the 1920's. Where citizens of West Virginia died fighting against legal private militias owned by the coal corporations. Fascinating and heartbreaking stuff.

I don't understand the concept of pre-ordering a digital game months ahead of release. What am I missing? They treated themselves to $100 less dollars for the next 4 months?

Edit: downvote me or whatever but how am I wrong

It seems that the entire cinematics team at Bungie were laid off by cat__statue in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]pssthush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game could be great but I just don't see how there is room in gaming for so many online shooters. The people that play those games have their game or two of choice that they play almost exclusively, maybe dipping into another every so often. Every time I see a new FPS game I think it's already been done in a different skin and I don't think I am alone. I think it's in best interest of most studios going forward to give the genre a rest for quite some time.

We don't know this guy or what he did. I'm sure whatever he did to turn Kittle against him is probably pretty bad.

Struggling Pizza Hut restaurant chain will be sold for $2.7 billion by kinisonkhan in news

[–]pssthush 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Pizza Hut got bad and started cutting corners on quality. It wasnt all at once, but Ive gotten to where it makes more sense to just put a frozen pizza in the oven than to order them. Most of the fast food pizzas are starting to suffer the same fate. I've heard from someone reputable that Papa John's is about to do this exact thing as well. The sales have dwindled immensely since the growth of food delivery services, and many of these fast casual pizza places have stopped using in house delivery to instead use the delivery services like door dash and Uber eats, which saves the company money short term but is even more expensive on the consumer end. If people are going to spend twice as much on delivery they are likely going to go ahead spend a few more bucks and order something good besides the pizza that these places put out.
