XboxEra Community Hangout |OT11| It Goes To 11!

Using it as an metric is obsolete at this point. I was getting rare achievements for simple ass achievements on the first mission on Gears 5 lol.

It’s just completely diluted by it being on Gamepass due to the sheer amount of people.

It pissed me off when Moriarty said Microsoft just can’t be considered a “creative” company. Just because.

And Sony the TV manufacturer somehow can???

And both Jez and Rand in silence.

Yeah, this was pure nonsense. Even if Xbox is just 8% of MS, in absolute numbers it’s still a $16B/year business that appears to have large autonomy within MS. In terms of games publishing, it underwent restructuring in late 2017 with the goal of creating high quality titles, with very few misfires.

I thought Rand did a pretty good job considering this was his first time being in a “combative” environment. Jez isn’t built for that at all though lol, doesn’t debate his points with enough conviction to match Colin.

I hope they don’t bring him back though, he argues in bad faith and doesn’t enter these discussions willing to learn something new. It’s all about dying on the hill and being dominant as possible.

Yawn, I might as well watch a political debate if I want that.

So he accomplished his mission. Getting you angry is exactly what these debate bros want.

You don’t need numbers or complicated strategies to rebut Moriarty bullshit. just common sense. Sony invested in creativity in the past why can’t MS do the same now?

Moriarty’s point was forum crap.

I love Jez and Rand but I wish they had the brains of SpeshalNick, Destin or even OhnoitsAlexx

Had not seen this before. This would be a reason to get a PS, some stuff just won’t come to Xbox.

Someone posted the fallout TV teaser from gamescom.

It was just a mistake! /s

:rofl:

Also for some reason Colin seems to be very “concerned” about Xbox completion rates huh? because comparing completion rates on platforms with games that you can only buy and games available on a service like Game Pass with millions of subscribers completely makes sense. What a clown.

It looks good, from the 3 minutes I’ve watched. The gameplay seems to be about just smashing through the enemies guard as fast as possible.

The bar on screen(in the middle) is a resource bar to use an attack/technique.

Enemies aren’t super aggressive so likely a lower difficulty if the game has them. Enemies are also not damage sponges, but that can fall under difficulty as well.

Healing items? Or a limited healing system?

On the left hand corner the other white bar seems to be another resource bar for some sort of enhancement. They said the enhancement grants an auto block.

I was told it was washed out.

On the real, this is not a coincidence and they need to investigate how this is happening. You can’t be the biggest video game media website and have a fanboy as an editor. This is like the 5th time this month it happened. I also don’t want to hear an apology from somebody like Destin and want to see what actions they’re going to take to avoid this

$200. Not bad of a price. No bluetooth and force you to buy their products to use headphone is crazy. Battery life is undetermined. Can’t stream cloud gaming, including PS Premium.

How is $200 not a a bad price for a device which can only do remote play ? Not even Playstation cloud streaming is working.

I think the battery life of the PlayStation Portal is about 3 hours long, compared to the ROG Ally’s battery which it is about 2 hours.

Price won’t matter anyway or features, as long as it has a PS logo on it that’ll be enough. :sweat_smile:

3 hours battery life for a screen and controller with no internals is wild
