@MigGui: I do care about a console. There are tons of mobile games, that I mostly just don't care about and don't want to play. I own many PC games that I just don't even even download and launch. I play on my console and I like the ease of use and convenience and to be AWAY from my pc.
I just wouldn't support and give my money to cloud based or service based games, even if you can magically see the game in your head with any device whatsoever!
@MigGui: This is a snowball effect, the more games they release on other platforms the less relevant they will become and less need for an XB. So in essence they have already killed the X Box. No more point of wasting money on next gen xbox and they are making this very clear!
I have not played, but I love Starship troopers, EDF and Terminator and this looks like a mix. Graphics are nothing to write home about but the gameplay looks like it is fun...for how long is the question. This is an online only game with microtransactions and I cannot help but wonder if MS had released this game that they would have had their assess handed to them just based on graphics alone.
Yet this sold 12 million so far. Is this a double standard or is Helldivers 2 really this good?
I would love to see dozens off COD off-shoots. Make sci-fi thriller one, like the FEAR series too. Make another Alien, Halo-like one. Make a zombie-aliens one in another wold. So many possibilities in the sci-fi arena.
Of course their greed will bring them here. I am going to spell it out for ya. MS is DONE, with all caps!!!! Yes, they will chase their clouds and mobile gaming, but this will not be for many of us here and is fine for the casual gamer. They cannot handle larger studios and game development, simply CANNOT! Their the type that want to create a product and squeeze the living hell out of it for all eternity without a whole lot of effort.
They will show their non-E3 show on June 9th and with our bitter tastes we will be very skeptical and reluctant to bite on new games. The suits will come to the stage smiling and lying their teeth off with their catch phrases and they will once again talk down to us....we love working with our partners and want to make so many average games accessible to everyone.... They will mention gamepASS 50x and continue to want to standardize the industry into least effort and average games, because that will be the only way they can makeup for low sales...is to lower the time, effort and cost of games.
This is a snowball effect, so that by 2026 they will release their new hardware and the sales will be so low, that by 2030 they will basically give up on XB and push Cloud gaming earlier for the gen thereafter.
Most of their games will be non-single player and online games that can be taken away from you at any time. Why would I want to pay hundreds of dollars for that, to a company that will most likely not be relevant to hard-core gamers in a few years?
I don't want this to happen, but I don't see a way out of it. They are digging their graves faster and deeper!!!!
Well, unfortunately even hardcore XB owners are realizing that there is no reason to own an XB. I don't like this or want it this way, but they forced us into a corner with all their greed and anti-console actions!
Gonna be honest if you gave me these games for free, they will probably just be sitting there. There is nothing honestly compelling enough to waste your time on removing existing games from your internal XB hard drive for these.
I wonder if they dropped the prices on internal HD's and I had enough space would I still even try, maybe 1 or 2. But honestly there are more compelling games to play on the Switch than here!
