I doubt they're going to make existing cross-platform franchises true exclusives. Timed exclusives, maybe.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
I suppose for many people it won't make that much of a difference either way. Bethesda games have always been best on PC, where modding them is easiest, so that's where people will preferentially buy them if they have a system that can run the game. I can see why they'd go for an exclusivity deal like that - from their perspective, it probably doesn't cost them much.

Yeah, why throw $ away when the bigger player base is on Sony. I guess they could gamble that a bunch of people would buy xcrap if they put some title on MS only.

Doom
TES
Fallout

Pretty sure those are the only things big enough that they might be system sellers.

Fallout is and has been garbage for a while now.
TES is very PC oriented and seems to be released for everything eventually.
Doom might be a problem, though.

TES/Fallout being exclusive is literally the only reason I would buy an Xbox and I would do it without question for those. I really doubt they would do that but I mean, I’m proof there are doofuses out there who would dive in if so. I’m the bad gamer. Shame me it’s okay.

It's me, the guy who's put in more time on Skyrim than any other game this generation except for maybe GTA

John Gonzalez who was the lead writer for FONV is now working on some big open-world RPG project with a Spanish start-up studio.

Yeah, they kind of didnt buy the obsidian who made FONV, they bought the obsidian who made Outer Worlds. Or possibly wilds? The bad one.

Outer Worlds is the one that may or may not be bad, I don’t know, I haven’t played it, but it’s not Outer Wilds which is one of the greatest games of the generation.

Josh Sawyer is still there at least, and he didn't work on Outer Worlds. Outer Worlds being bad was totally down to those particular directors.

I thought my youtube problem would fix itself over night but nope.

The thing is, every time i google 'Ps4 black screen when playing youtube app" All the problems have them having sound but no image. The videos won't even start. The player is there if i hit down on the dpad, and i can see the thumbnails and they show a preview when i select the thumbnail.

As I said I've tried reinstalling the app, logging out and back in and deleting personal data, but nothing fixes it.

Anyways, I think i'm going to give God of War a try. After playing GoT i want something a bit more straightforward in the hacking and slashing and dading.

I mean it would move units but probably not that many when all is said and done, and I don't know that these new Xbox players would recoup the tens of millions they'd lose by skipping PlayStation versions.
