thats not for you to decide , or me or anyone else
There has never been a bigger gap between journalists liking something and the audience liking something. Journalists like things based on how many woke points it gets. Sorry to say, but it's true. TLOU2 definitely had its fair share of fans. As someone who despises wokeness, there were some things storywise that TLOU2 did that I respected in terms of what they were trying to do. Making you play as a character the game forces you to hate was a gutsy move. It didn't land with me the way it intended and the game, in the end, made me hate everyone.For every person who didn't like TLOU 2, 10x more people loved it. Forget the "Media Outlets" awards (that's from editors and critics). It won the highest number of Readers' choice awards.
Those awards come from fan votes -- by gamers like you and me who go on these websites and vote for their favorite games. TLOU won 108 such awards, while the next best was Ghost of Tsushima with only 11 awards.
Check the reader's choice awards.
Same. I played it on PS5 and didn't expect anything quite on the level that the game presented. The 45 hours I played went by in a flash. Truly epic.
So…… Gamepass = The gaming apocalypse?
My dude, you are being the Karen of video games right now. None of that is going to happen. Just relax and enjoy some games.
And even if your right (you’re not), then might as well enjoy It while it lasts, no? Because it’s obviously not going to stop, so ride this bitch into the ground with the rest of us and just enjoy yourself.

That's fair enough. Not everyone will like every game.
‘Gamers Choice Awards’ Immediately Cancelled Upon Seeing What Gamers Chose
The hotly anticipated Gamers Choice Awards pulled the plug on their planned event mere minutes after tabulating poll results.
I wouldn't say Sony was an "extremely poor company" lol let's not go that far but indeed MS has a much larger market cap yes. The main thing to Microsoft's advantage is that they have a Monopoly in the PC and Sony has none. The money they generate from the Windows platform is insurmountable to the likes of gamepass overhead. You are correct they will be okay, unfortunately (because I can't stand subscriptions lol)
Who?
Gamepass owner dont buy games, and they wait for games to be release on gamepass.
Since this is a gaming discussion forum it's perfectly acceptable to wonder if giving $100 million games away on a sub service does major long term damage to both consumer expectations and how games are designed.
And I would add to that, users shouldn’t expect the big titles to stay on GP indefinitely. The first party games will be GP day-one, but I would expect aggressive time limits on those to coerce users to buy.
Me too!
I don’t think that guy knows what innovation means. GOTY =/= innovation. I’d love to know how GoW 2018, Spider-Man, Horizon, Uncharted 4 or TLoU 2 are innovative.
As a Gamepass owner I still buy games that are coming to Gamepass that I know I will play a lot.
oh sorry maybe I misspelled .... Sony extremely poor comparing it to ms income / capital. Sony is far from being poor hahaha
That person is silly. Lots of great games don't come to GP so there are plenty of games to buy.
Unfortunately this industry and especially the media of this industry make money based on the fanbase ... for example a Spanish website that talks about PlayStation videogames will have the chance to survive one that talks about Xbox seen the marketshare will have many difficulties. So it is understandable and clear how in the end everyone is oriented to please the larger user base. The Game awards were created by a industry journalist (Geoff K.) who everyone know he prefers Sony to all the others and if this were not enough, the way in which the games are selected and voted in the end (10% by users) will always reward the most big user base (PlayStation in this case). Taking GOTY as an example to prove something is silly and misleading for this reason. Let's accept them for what they are ..... A nice event for the world of video games but never a real prize a some milestone.
Im you're best forum friend and I like you man.
Sony have no multiplayer games and no live service games, but you think they’d have 50-60m subscribers right now when the wait between their single player exclusives is over 8 months (Ratchet in June to Horizon in February 2022)?
MLB the show is on Game Pass and GT 7 isn’t even out for another 9 months minimum? And you think that’s enough online games to warrant 60m subs?
Agree it obviously won't hit 165m.
I think MS will remain tight-lipped until they see what Forza and Halo bring. If both of those are well received I bet we hear about a subscriber bump soon after Halo launch.
I might subscribe for one month for Wasteland and Psychonauts. And I may do a second month for Halo campaign and Forza. But after that I'll probably drop it. The next game that interests me is Starfield but that's 15 months away. I wonder how many people are like that and will dip in, then quickly dip out again. Like I wonder if it's a linear increase they are seeing.
Are you fucking serious? Of the three, it is mostly Microsoft’s MO to buy IP’s, not create them. Here is a small selection pre-Zenimax to jog your memory:
