Framerate drops to single digits. JonB: This is fine. I can't even with you... LOL

Shitty performance and being a bug fest is like the trademark for Bethesda games but how does it STILL happen after MS sent a team of programmers and engineers to help? Just... unbelievable.

I meant games I can't play anywhere else. We are in a thread about exclusives, didn't think I had to specify. My view on PC gaming not existing is because there is no such thing as PC exclusives worth a damn anymore and there hasn't been for a long time. Last one I can think of is StarCraft 2 and that was 2010. PC gaming is just more expensive console gaming.

I have no recollection of this conversation. You seem pretty sure though so I'll just your word for it.

Okay... still not exclusive.

What game is that? Baldur's Gate 3? That ain't PC exclusive.

Yeah, I don't give a fuck about PC gaming because there's no such thing as PC games anymore. So I dunno what better PC games you're talking about. PC gaming is just more expensive console gaming.

I don't really care for Sony 1st Party stuff so I don't pay attention. Rise of the Ronin is suppose to be dropping early 2024 though. This game is like the main reason I even got a PS5.

Why the hell would anyone play FF XVI if they want a good RPG experience?

That's a whole lot of... nothing.

LOL Fuck off, Sony...

I forgot there was a demo. Guess I'll check it out this weekend just to see what the game is like.

That definitely wasn't me. I love Witcher 3, one of my top 3 games for last gen, but I've never said anything good about its combat. I think the nicest thing I've said about it was that it was serviceable and functional. I don't think it's terrible but it's definitely not good. Doesn't matter to me though, what I loved about Witcher 3 was the writing and how the game would constantly surprise me with the unexpected.

Maybe they should've made an actual Saints Row game instead of making whatever the fuck that last game claiming to be Saints Row was.

I've been enjoying it. Too early to really give a definitive opinion but so far I'm pretty positive on it.

US is by far the largest market for gaming and has been for decades. Keep trying, though.

This game couldn't afford to have ANY negative reviews, especially not negative reviews from major review site. MS NEEDED this to be a bona fide hit. GS isn't the only one that flopped it. IGN did too. Verdicts still out on Eurogamer. These are the 3 biggest review sites with the farthest reach. Two of them flopped the game. That's not good, Jon. Not good at all.

For people who already own a Xbox, sure. But there aren't that many Xbox owners... Starfield was suppose to be the system seller. They are never going to catch up to Sony, the gap is too large at this point. But this game would've at least made them a contender and yet it failed. Xbox ain't no contender, it's just a pretender. Are we pretending 7/10 games are system sellers?

This was suppose to be the game to make the Xbox worth a damn. MS NEEDED this game to be its champion. And it failed... Just like all the others. This isn't just another failure though, this is THE failure. Considering how important this game was for MS and how important it was for this game to be a absolute 10/10, this game could not afford to fail. MS gave it the time, money AND help (MS literally sent a team of programmers and engineers to help Bethesda), MS was banking it all on this game to turn things around for them. And it failed. This is easily the flop of the gen.

Bethesda games have always sucked. About damn time reviews stopped playing softball with this overrated developer.

Last 3 JRPGs I've played are Like A Dragon, P4G and Chained Echoes. All 3 are different from each other and each had something unique to them. Did you completely miss the point I was making?

Graphics are nice but gameplay seemed pretty standard. Nothing about it to help it stand out from a very crowded pack. These types of games are a dime a dozen now. Why should I play this?

I'm going to play it after Sea of Stars.

It's a gacha. 👎

I mean DMC 5's art direction. Didn't like it. I'm on the other side of the fence when it comes to its gameplay as well. I did not care for DMC 5, it was pretty meh.
