Don't forget KinectimalsIf we can count old games that play and work better can I count all the 360 backwards compatibility games?

What? Forza horizon 5 scored a 92 on metacritic and was the highest scored game last year.Yeah but his point was they aren’t in the same league as GoW and Zelda, and he’s right. Luckily for Xbox Bethesda games (IMO) are in that very top tier.
And as someone who’s played a lot of Halo, Infinite can not be classed as anything close to ‘must have’.
Irrelevant.Influencers are a complete waste of time whatever the brand. It serves their own purposes and certainly not the consumer. I’d rather listen to old people shagging than any of their shite.
So?What? Forza horizon 5 scored a 92 on metacritic and was the highest scored game last year.
We are not sure when the clause would end, but 2025 will not be near the end of this generation. Look at how ps4 and Xbox one is still being supported 9 years later.
Not true, the COD casuals will only play COD for a short while 3 to 4 months. That is why we see a pretty huge drop off. So it would be cheaper to subscribe instead. Not to mention they wouldn’t even need a console to play it.
Xbox has game pass, the best deal in gaming. There never seems to be a lack of things to play. Sonywill never be able to match this service unless they put their games day one. Until then it's Xbox for me
Grounded was in early access on Xbox One in 2020.Grounded is a killer game.
Second best game I played this year.
You proved my point, people don't consider these games and just want God of War type games from them.
Not gonna happen.
Facts don’t care about your opinions. Fact is the game sold well and I would be surprise sold better than elden ring.So?

Look at some highly rated games from this year. Half of them are shit in my opinion, but that’s beside the point. It’s one thing getting a high critic score, it’s another thing to become a phenomenon like BOTW/The Witcher 3/Skyrim/Elden Ring.
Yeah good point. I mean fuck, ubisoft only put out two new game this year, and its exclusive to the switch. The other is just dance. Thats pretty wild considering how stacked their output typically isSony did to be fair to them, but lets not preted this year has been anyhting other than a ghost town game wise, and one of the worst years i can remember.
Casuals usually don’t buy gaming PCs, they buy consoles to play COD. However, MS can put the game on xcloud and let you play it and save 400-500 dollars.People who don't have consoles can and do already play call of duty.

The fact is that Forza or Halo don’t have the same mind share as Zelda, TES, or even From Software. Sorry.Facts don’t care about your opinions. Fact is the game sold well and I would be surprise sold better than elden ring.
This is where everything is going. SQEX just told investors they can't continue business as usual. AAA is going to be more and more troublesome as time passes, and the recession deepens.All you can eat Chinese buffet for $5.99 the best deal in fine dining! There will never be a lack of things you can eat
Most gamers play GAAS games. Look at what games dominate the charts most of the time. Even Jim Ryan sees this and why he is investing into GAAS.Grounded was in early access on Xbox One in 2019.
Either you're missing the point or you're pretending to.
The problem is that by pushing that logic that everything is equal you basically say that Microsoft don't need AAA games. First in a commercial sense they do, but outside of that, most people won't only play games like Grounded on console. People saying "you only care about AAA" when it's basically the complete opposite, i feel i've been playing indie games forever on Gamepass and i want something ambitious that can push the hardware (because who else than Microsoft can provide that for its own console ?)

Pipe down buddy.Facts don’t care about your opinions. Fact is the game sold well and I would be surprise sold better than elden ring.
you’re missing the point. It’s not that Xbox doesn’t have exclusives. It’s that it doesn’t have a must have exclusive game. Nothing on Xbox right now is in the same league as God of War Ragnarok or Zelda BOTW.
People don’t care about anything you listed, they care about content and Xbox is lacking on it.
Spoken like someone who’s never played an FPS game (or any competitive game for that matter) online. Either that or your KD is normally 0.3.Casuals usually don’t buy gaming PCs, they buy consoles to play COD. However, MS can put the game on xcloud and let you play it and save 400-500 dollars.
That is how it is for everyone.I bought a Ps5 for exclusives. I bought a Series X for GamePass.
So? No one is dying to buy an Xbox to play forza, just facts. But people are buying switches to play Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.Umm forza horizon 5 sold a shit ton and pretty sure halo infinite did as well. They both scored well too on metacritic and won GOTY awards.
Basically: If we ignore all MS first party games, they have no killer exclusives
Their first party output remains lackluster.
Regarding the AAA and AA games that you’re getting, well more power to you, but I’m an old school gamer. I prefer to own my games.
I’ll play this bad boy when I’m done with Ragnarok.
That is why I said earlier about games on game pass might as well be exclusive for many consumers.This is where everything is going. SQEX just told investors they can't continue business as usual. AAA is going to be more and more troublesome as time passes, and the recession deepens.
If I could get into a buffet that had the food equivalent of Wo Long and Plague Tale 2 and dozens of other games for $5.99, sign me up.
lol...fortunately for us this industry has way more value than just Naughty Dog, Insomniac and Sucker Punch, even on the western front. Otherwise it would be pretty shit...ppl underestimate how absurd it is to release an actual GREAT game. That shit aint easy. And if Microsoft had bought Naughty Dog, Insomniac and Sucker Punch....this conversation would be completely different.
It also has to be that the good devs go with Sony...and Xbox is getting some of the scraps. They are working with what they have. If ur a great studio with an idea for the next big IP.....are u going with Sony or Microsoft? Likely Sony
Vice versa.Different tastes. There are people that would much prefer Halo or FH5 over God of War, and for most these exclusives don't matter at all (even with the big sales these games are absolutely nothing in comparison to Fortnite or Warzone, etc.).
Halo is bigger than skyrim or dark souls. I think i've heard maybe 2 ppl in real life every mention a From Software game. Everyone knows what Halo is. There is a halo action figure sitting on the shelf of ur local walmart right nowThe fact is that Forza or Halo don’t have the same mind share as Zelda, TES, or even From Software. Sorry.
If you’re saying that Forza Horizon 5 sold more than the 16.6m copies that Elden Ring did (as of June), then it’s time to lay off the crack pipe.
Lol Forza horizon still sold a shit ton. In fact, I typed forza horizion in the google search bar and one of the search queries was asking if it was on PlayStation. Turns out people want the game.So? No one is dying to buy an Xbox to play forza, just facts. But people are buying switches to play Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
Forza is not in the same league as Pokémon. Not even close.
They've been feeding you Halo and Forza since the 360 days, so no these are not "killer exclusives" otherwise I would have bought a Series X to play them.

Also, I don’t remember anyone making these articles for the PS4 when it launched. 2 years in and the big game for ps4 was blood borne.

I have my Xbox for 2 reasons, and 2 reasons only.That is how it is for everyone.
Take away gamepass, and Xbox is just a boring console.
The only reason why I am on xbox ecosystem, is gamepass.
Vice versa.
But that doesn't mean xbox can't bring out other franchises.
The weakness of xbox, is lack of franchises. They didn't bring any new franchise aside of sea of theives. That is a big problem.

Sea of thieves, Grounded, as dusk falls, pentiment and we know already about avowed, redfall, starfield, everwild, contraband, Indiana Jones (I know these are not out yet) all new IPsVice versa.

Sony know the value of their brand is based on the games they released these last years. They want to make more profit but they won't jeopardize the legacy they have by releasing only shitty GAAS either. They will even use the aura of their solo IPs to develop multiplayer games. They will walk on these 2 legs in the future.Most gamers play GAAS games. Look at what games dominate the charts most of the time. Even Jim Ryan sees this and why he is investing into GAAS.
Single player only games you can beat most of the time within a couple weeks playing casually. Unless it’s a huge RPG it doesn’t have the replay value as a GAAS.
They needed those during xbox one. It would have elevated xbox more, compared to its miserable state right now.A bunch of new IPs have already been announced. With a ton of unannounced things being worked on as well I'm sure. Starfield and Redfall are both new IPs.
Only sea of theives was during xbox one. And grounded as beta.Sea of thieves, Grounded, as dusk falls, pentiment and we know already about avowed, redfall, starfield, everwild, contraband, Indiana Jones (I know these are not out yet) all new IPs
Yeah I agree. Whenever a game launches on game pass whether it's indie or triple a third party there seems to be so much excitement when it launches on game pass. The enthusiasm is muted on the PlayStation side of things. I understand though. Paying 70 dollars when the competition can play it for cheap can put a damper on things.That is why I said earlier about games on game pass might as well be exclusive for many consumers.
Look at how Walmart is so successful despite having no exclusive products. People wallets are tight right now with high inflation and upcoming recession
Fewer and fewer companies will be able to justify the risk of AAA games, as has been the trend for a while now. But I agree that sub services are a great lifeline for AA games, which is really the main reason I jumped on board with it.It’s not where everything is going
Mid tier AA getting squeezed, AAA getting bigger
Games that can’t compete at the AAA level will need help from sub services or just go extinct
Casuals play COD games casually. Even with the slight lag they won’t care as they are saving hundred of dollars. Cloud gaming is defiantly not this huge lagging experience as some people make it out to be here. Just look at some of the tech reviewers like Linus on YouTube for non bias review.Spoken like someone who’s never played an FPS game (or any competitive game for that matter) online. Either that or your KD is normally 0.3.
92 metacritic Forza Horizon 5?Good. More articles like this. Call these pretenders out.
You’ve been in the business for 20 years and still don’t have a stable list of first party exclusives?
Do better or get the fuck out of the console business.
And all this praise for Phil Spendser needs to stop. The guys gaming portfolio is abysmal. What games has he delivered? All he ever mentions is Starfield and Gamepass.
Newsflash, your subscription service is useless without games I want to subscribe for.
Great, that's why I like to own my games.Basically.
I already played that bad boy to 100% thanks to game pass, great game, would recommend.
