Xbox just died?
(hexbear.net)
I didn't know that. It led an amazing life, what else can you say? It was an amazing console, whether you agree or not. It was an amazing console that had an amazing life.
Looking at all the Youtube thumbnails in my feed in the past 24 hours, Xbox died somehow. RIP John Halo and Mark Fenix
There's a rumor that Halo is coming to the Playstation, which was Xbox's biggest exclusive for a really long time.
Personally, I think Xbox has been dead ever since Microsoft started releasing every game on Windows and Xbox at the same time, which kinda eliminates the point of having a console.
I feel like Microsoft's games especially their exclusives being terrible has had a lot to do with it. Like if you look at Sony and Nintendo, their exclusive game libraries are full of hits. Nintendo has a sort of niche with their IPs and their handheld games to such an extent that Switch still continues to sell very well. Sony has had some very popular exclusives like Last of Us, God of War, Bloodborne, Spider-man, Final Fantasy 7 remakes, etc. A genre that should have been generic---OFFLINE AAA single player games---have somehow become something Sony delivers especially well on.
Meanwhile Microsoft's stuff have been awful. Their latest exclusives were Redfall and Starfield, both shit games. I don't even remember what they were doing before. Microsoft have fully stratified themselves as rent seeking parasites because of which they are not able to look past producing shit live service games and throwing money at their problems.
I feel if they made actually decent games, which they absolutely could with the money and resources at hand, their hardware would sell better even if the games were released on PC and Steam. But Microsoft are gonna live and die by terrible games.
I wanna try Gears 5 too.
As a gears veteran this could not be more accurate (I’ll still drink that garbage tho)
Yeah man I really have no explanation, especially because I’m also Mexican lmfao I don’t know why we love this game so much, but gears was my halo uncontested.
Oh my god are we the same person?
I hate you with the passion of a thousand suns.
My cousin and I grinded Gears 2 Horde mode for like 30 hours in a weekend so we could unlock the golden Retro Lancer skin during the build up to the release of Gears 3. God that was so fun. I loved Gears 3 multi.
They are generic. A good chunk of Sony releases is just versions of Assassin's Creed. Most just don't care, they eat the slop anyway.
Which ones are you talking about? I think Spider-man is somewhat assassin's creed like but I can't think of anything else.
Horizon is even closer to the formula with the "find towers (longnecks) to reveal more icons on the map, then do more boring fetch quests for other boring characters with your boring character" thing.
That is true.
I saw Starfield and the Indiana Jones game mentioned specifically, but it does look like the idea is that Microsoft is maybe becoming more of a third party publisher. Considering they've bought like half of the industry that sounds fair
More like it became super duper dead when they started releasing games on Steam at the same time. Also, this is a 100% positive development and Nintendo and Sony should follow suit
spoiler
though Sony already releases stuff on PC, and every Nintendo game is playable on PC
I hope they never make a Switch 2 lmao
I genuinely don't see the point of having a .ore powerful console. It's fine
