Microsoft is gonna drop the Xbox One X Two and it's gonna have no disk drive but it'll have a crank on the side that will make your games look and run better while you crank it.

I'm wary of the PS5 launch since the PS4 didn't have anything worth buying it for until Bloodborne a year and a half after launch. Bloodborne 2 as a launch game would almost force me to buy one for sure

It's what forced me into eventually buying a PS4 after the price dropped a bit and they would probably get me again with the HP Lovecraft Dark Souls W/Guns

they just have to have something exclusive worth playing and I'll likely fork over the 250 bux or whatever whenever it gets that low

I don't think I've ever seen a company burn so much good will so fast as Blizzard has over the last year.


Btw COD Mobile is pending approval for release in China.

I don't know if there's any ambiguity in translation here -- the NBA message for China had some weasel words that sounded more conciliatory, but Blizzard's statement is just abject groveling

It kinda makes sense for From. Lets them learn the ropes of next gen development with the technical support and funding of a platform holder.

Maybe they’re so much bigger now that they don’t need it.

After DS3/Sekiro I'm not sure From would do a great job with BB2.

If you're talking about Quantic Dream / thatgamecompany stuff, those games didn't really have direct involvement from Sony the way that Bloodborne had SCEJ development infrastructure

Yeah, Quantic Dream just went independent from Sony and thatgamecompany always was, I don’t think it’s comparable. Bloodborne is gonna be stuck on PlayStation for the rest of time.

Also aside from the DLC being a little overpriced for what you paid for at launch, Dark Souls III was fantastic.

You don’t need file size as an excuse to never download a David Cage game.

The PS5 being backwards compatible anyway, makes it the most attractive new console for me. I have a friend that keeps swearing that the Xbox is going to completely turn around and leave Sony behind, but idk, the Sony console will have things on it I can't just buy on my PC anyway.

I've had an Xbone for a year now, and I never turn it on compared to how much I use my PS4, Switch, and PC.

"My brain is amazing! It's full of wrinkles, and... Uh... Wait... What am I trying to say?"
oh gotcha

To be serious for second: My actual issue with Sekiro is that I didn't find the ways in which it used/appeared to prize difficulty to be fun and several decisions they made in design seem to make the game less fun in the interest of making it harder. By the time I finished it I was just glad it was over, not like I overcame an interesting challenge. Even if you don't think it should be compared to Souls games, I had less fun with it than other action games like DMC5 or Monster Hunter. If I'm not trying to cause arguments, then for me Sekiro is like a 7-8 out of 10 game. I liked a lot of the story, it looked fantastic, and there were a good amount of really fun areas and boss fights. My actual frustration is that what From seems to want to do, going off later-game and DLC DS3 and Sekiro is not what I liked about their games. Which is fine obviously, they can make whatever they want and I'll just replay DS2 over and over like a dork.
