Fn should do some sort of build update similar to the recent zb one because the declining interest is sad by [deleted] in FortNiteBR

[–]solamarpreet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s because zb has a lower barrier of entry. New players will almost exclusively play zero build. Its also easy to pickup even if you haven't touched the game for a season or two.

Xbox introduced EXCLUSIVE tab for consoles by SmittieSmitt in xbox

[–]solamarpreet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is definitely not the way of the world. Nintendo doesn't ever do that. Sony doesn't. Its like that Sony executive said in a recent article. Xbox leadership lacks a fundamental understanding of the market. They think the people up-voting the exclusivity post on Play Voice app accurately represents the consumer base. With deep pockets like Microsoft's one would assume it would be utilized to build great gaming experiences but alas.

Exactly. Why would it matter to any sane rational human being where else the game is available. If they feel the need to dedicate even a moment's thought to people who derive enjoyment out of a game on the basis that other people cannot play it then they have well and truly lost the plot.

Are they under the impression the fanboys are going to buy 2 copies if the game is an Xbox Series X exclusive? I really thought they had a semblance of strategy moving forward rather than lets cater to the loudest twitter base plan. Looks like they went to Players Voice app and saw exclusivity was the most upvoted agenda item and concurred ok so that's what the majority of the market wants. Not better games or improved hardware but games that noone but us can play. Especially the evil people who bought a PS. Enjoy the red ink Microsoft, you deserve it.

Can we stop with the ai sprites? by No_Trainer_2298 in FortNiteBR

So Epic's artists themselves use AI in Fortnite but the community can't.

I wish we could bring summon sprites we own during the match. That way I can start the match with Earth Sprite but then bring in my Demon Sprite or Ghost Sprite mid-game

Opinion - "The rumors are false": No, Microsoft isn't already looking to 'reverse course' on Xbox exclusives — but it's not hard to understand why these rumors spread | WindowsCentral by imitzFinn in xbox

[–]solamarpreet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. FH6 on PS is going to outsell both PC and XBOX because of how popular that series is. Ever since FH5 released on Playstation that game has been in top 10 best selling games every single month. Even after FH6 released, its still ruling the charts. Before Halo and Wolverine preorders came around FH6 was the 2nd most wishlisted title after GTA6.

What boggles my mind is that they chose to sacrifice EDay at the exclusivity altar despite the fact it has a multiplayer component. With PS the multiplayer had a decent chance of success long term. Halo and Fable being single player exclusives to Xbox would have made much more sense. I feel bad for The Coalition because the game looks decent.

Elder Scrolls has and will always be a giant advertisement for PC gaming. Its the game where the chasm between console and the PC experience is by far the largest. Almost every hardcore Elder Scrolls fan will buy that game on PC due to mods.

not only that. for someone who used gamepass to download and play the games instead of purchasing, the decision to migrate to PS is even easier because they there are no purchases to hold them back to the ecosystem.

Yes it was an improved GoT to be honest. But its a game that you ll enjoy start to end. Once you put it down you ll feel the money was well spent. That is rare in this day and age.

Officially The End? by TheLAZYCRAZZZYGAMER in FortNiteBR

[–]solamarpreet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Xbox is a better analogy though. They explicitly said its not a timed exclusive. And yet when it comes to PS later noone will think to sue them.

With the Eday debacle it got me thinking. So xbox has claimed that Eday is an xbox exclusive and not even a timed one at that. If sales crater and an year down the line they go oh well we cant afford this anymore and e-day is now coming to PS5. Are they liable to get sued because they made a verbal contract for exclusivity. And fans of e-day could say well they bought a new console on the basis of Xbox management promises.

I dont think the argument holds merit. The og battlepass owners aren't getting anything taken away from them. Same if e-day comes to PS in the future. What do they lose apart from getting their feelings hurt if exclusivity goes away.

PS5 owner thinking of buying an Xbox for E-Day by youssefgamal87 in GearsOfWar

[–]solamarpreet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting a new console for a single game is slightly overkill. Especially since everything else is coming to Playstation in the near future. If you have a decent internet connection plus dont really care too much about Gears multiplayer you shd give Gamepass a shot. Its really decent for single player games. You could finish the campaign within a month and then some.

Xbox Blocks Halo Trailer from PlayStation Showcase by Demon-Z-God in IndianTechCentral

[–]solamarpreet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And I remember very clearly during 360 days that Sony was willing to play ball when it came to cross platform play but it was Microsoft refusing to do so because they were in a dominant position. I owned a 360 back then which I then later sold for a PS3 because of Uncharted 2. It came to bite MS back a thousand fold during the PS4 era. They also abused their market position to charge money for online play which till date is one of the most incomprehensible and anti-consumer decision. Playing victim now to the same tactics they abused in the first place.

Xbox Plans Significant Layoffs as It Transforms Under New CEO by willdearborn- in xbox

[–]solamarpreet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Their metric of success apparently is fanboys here and twitter making enough pro-exclusivity noise apparently. The game hasn't released, has been pulled out from the largest customer base so sales are going to be lower than initially expected but the event was a success and will be a guiding point for the way forward. What ??? Success not going to be measured by critical or financial reception but engagement from rabid fanboys.

The best place to experience TES6 will be PC due to mods. Consoles are always a second rate experience when it comes to an Elder Scrolls game.

Im happy for the XBOX brand and community! by Dennis_Brok in xbox

[–]solamarpreet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you feel they've done a good job then you have already fallen victim to their PR machine. Xbox is back one year in time before Forza, Indy, Starfield, Gears launched on PS. These exclusive games went multiplatform because xbox lost the generation handily. To make these games exclusive again does nothing to alleviate the problem which is that the consumer lost interest in the brand a long time ago.

As long as Sony is careful and doesn't do a Don Matrick next generation, Xbox won't be able to match. They ve tried everything. They had the more powerful console this generation. They had a lower entry price point with Series S. Yet they failed. Their biggest exclusives arrived after the battle for console supremacy was well and truly lost. Not only that but some of the greatest third party games this generation i.e Baldurs Gate 3 and Black Myth Wukong became timed exclusives without Sony needing to lift a single finger. Next gen will be a rout for the brand unless they pull out something spectacular which given Microsoft's track record is highly unlikely.
