From a slide at ID @ Xbox

For comparison, PS5 sales were at 38.3m as of April 2023. So should be well over 40m by now

I don't care for either actor. Kind of fucked up to say but glad Majors is having legal issues with that woman that could get him kicked out of Marvel movies, he acts the same in everything he's in. Same with MBJ

 

Creed 3 did suck, despite my least favorite actors being in it I still watched it one night expecting it to be worst, but what makes the plot so unbelievable? That the guy gets out of prison and becomes the next big challenger of a world famous fighter?

fuuuuu i thought the thread said Team Asobo and immediately thought this was about Plague Tale 3 

Asobi >>>>>>>>> Asobo 

Can't wait for whatever their working on. Literally the only studio outside of Nintendo that seem to have that little bit of Nintendo magic in their platformers. 

Tell me someone has played Inscryption? 

Randomly started it cause I love Slay the Spire and wanted a chill card game and have been absolutely blown away. I really don't want to say much but if you even remotely enjoy card games you gotta try it....and try play a little deeper into it too.

The first season of From is free on prime for the next 3 days for anyone interested. 

Not in Aus

It's on a different streaming service which literally has nothing else that would interest me outiside of From. Frustrating.

Was it actually a hit though? This game came and went, and I don't recall many people playing it.

It was arguably one of the GP's first major third party Day 1 releases on GP. 

Half own a Swtich

Less than 20% own a Xbox Series X/S

Rumor has it they're panicking because allegedly low peeorders

I hear UK physical sales were also low.

The number of failed GAAS has really puled up in the last few years. Sony will probably suffer the same fate.

This wasnt really a GAAS though. That was it's selling point. It was a looter shooter with a story/campaign and an actual end point. 

Thought this was interesting cause we rarely get a proper insight into how larger games that launch on GP perform financially.

But Outriders was considered a big GP hit and was constantly spoken about how GP can help a games sales on other platforms.

However the developers themselves state that the game as of March 31st 2023 has still not returned a profit:

"Furthermore, in accordance with the development and publishing agreement signed on February 16th 2016 between the parent and Square Enix Limited to develop Outriders, since the game was completed and released on April 1st 2021 the Group is entitled to receive consideration in the form of royalties. Their amount is directly linked to and represents a percentage of the profit earned on the sale of the game.

"The Group received no royalties from the publisher for the period to March 31st 2023, which means that as at the reporting date net proceeds from the sale of Outriders were insufficient to recover the costs and expenses incurred by the publisher to develop, distribute and promote the title."

That means that the GP deal didn't even get close to covering costs as GP deal + sales on PS and PC have still not turned a profit in the game.

Saw Creed 3 last night. Lol I am a fan of Micheal B Jordan but I can see what Sylvester Stallone didn't even want to see this. It's not that it's so bad, it's just so not as good as the previous ones and tbh 2 wasn't that great. 

 

Majors is great in this movie. He could have carried the movie too if Jordan didn't try like five times in this movie to win an Oscar or something. The plot is the least believable of every movie in the Rocky franchise. 

I actually just watched it last week also and thought it was incredibly average to say the least. Easily the worst creed movie and like you said has such an unbelievable plot line that it nearly completely takes you out of the movie.  

Big big budgets, basically like summer blockbuster movies. 

Makes it the fastest selling PS5 exclusive to date and just behind FFVII Remake's 3.5m which was released on a significantly larger install base with PS4.

Great result and hopefully figures that can now encourage more devs to do next gen exclusive launches.

did you watch the season 2 finale of From? DOPE AF!

I never started FROM. Watched S1 of Yellowjackets instead and havent seen S2 yet.

But you guys gushing over FROM and saying it has Lost vibes is getting me keen to see it.

@-GD-XYou might like The Devil's Hour on Amazon Prime. Im on ep3, and while its a slow burn it has a strong 'the fuck is going on' type of vibe similar to mystery shows like From/Lost.

Literally my fav vibe in shows/movies and unfortunately my love for  the show/movie usually nosedives when I find out exactly what the fuck is going on 

This is excellent material for MS' case.

'Look, we are so irrelevant that we are practically not even part of the gaming industry'

Alright watched all of Black Mirror and that was by leagues the worst season of the bunch. Interest at near zero if that is the future direction the show will go in. 

Best ep was ep2 imo but even that wasn't really Black Mirrory.

Luckily its a massive RPG and not just doing NMS shit.

 

 

Yeah hopefully that shines out. It being a Bethesda RPG is the only reason I'm still interested in it. 

Always assumed so. Disney don't seem to have any issues with some of their IPs being system exclusive anymore. 

Hopefully a return to form for Machine Games

I mean it could be boring if you think its boring. Or it could be a bunch of fun, space exploration. 

For me it's definitely looking like it's gonna be boring. Found No Mans Sky boring, I hate all those giant realistic space games and this game seems far too big and random for my liking. Usually enjoy Bethesda games for exploring every little part of the specifically designed map and discovering everything they created in it but this just doesn't seem to be that at all. Still hoping it hits but the more and more I hear about it the less for me it seems to be. Maybe I just mainline the main quest. 

How does this compare to the other systems it's on?

Yeah its actually good design, especially since it means there's an element of surprise when you discover a planet because you don't know if its going to have life or not.

It is, but that as a positive is also something that will only last for the first couple hours or sessions. After that it's just gonna be tedious dropping in planets to mine resources No Mans Sky style then traveling to other random planets. 

Things that sound cool or real very rarely translate to fun gaming. Usually same goes for games that incorporate eating, or realistic healing (think MGS3) or exercise (think GTA San Andreas), etc. Cool in theory and for first couple times, much less fun over time especially in games of this size. 

Never a doubt 

I'm still balls deep into Diablo IV though
