    Rumor Extas1s: Xbox Game Pass is set to introduce new tiers

    The most expensive streaming service is Netlix at $23/month. I wonder if MS is gonna have the balls to price the CoD tier higher than that.

    Discussion SENUA’S SAGA: HELLBLADE 2 ACHIEVEMENT LIST – ALL 11 ACHIEVEMENTS (SPOILERS)

    What was the budget for this game? They must have went way over budget on development, which is probably one of the reasons Xbox didn't want to spend anymore on marketing.

    This dumbass is publicly telling them he'll give a biased review in exchange. Can someone teach this moron how to actually be a shill properly?

    News Ghost of Tsushima broke the Steam CCU record for any Sony SP PC game

    PC gamers would have a bigger meltdown over this than they did over Helldivers 2/PSN

    News Take-Two FY24: Net Loss $3.74 bn ; FY25 Outlook: Net Loss $674 to $606m; GTA V 200 m units, Franchise 425 m; RDR 2 64 m, Series 89 m; NBA 2K 149m

    I definitely see a GTA6 PS5 bundle in the works. They're gonna need to milk every penny of revenue, especially with the PC/Steam release not coming for a long time.

    Discussion Cultural appropriation, revision of history or just appreciation of the culture. What are your thoughts on Yasuke in the new Assassin's Creed.

    I care more about the game and if it's gonna actually be fun or a bloated snorefest like Valhalla

    Xbox Plan to move Xbox games to other platforms codenamed "Latitude" internally. Nate the Drake says more coming holiday season..

    I didn't like Starfield, but I can't deny that it sold pretty well (at least on PC) considering that it was on GamePass. I have a feeling Todd Howard probably somewhat resents XBox and Phil for artificially limiting Starfield's sales by not releasing it on PS5 on it's launch year. It severely...

    Review Senua's Saga: Hellblade II Review & OT "The hardest battles are fought in the mind, not with the sword" |UP| Embargo ends 1 hour before release.

    The audio stuff was interesting and novel. Graphics were nice enough. Storytelling and premise was decent but not great. The combat was as sophisticated as Infinity Blade on iPhone 5. I'd say the metacritic scores for it were very generous.

    Looks like Satya is finally putting his big boy pants on and putting Phil in his place. Took fucking long enough.

    Usually review embargos that end so late are often a sign that the publisher expects mediocre reviews, but I'm still holding on to my prediction for a "Save Ninja Theory" campaign via inflated review scores in addition to the usual 10/10s from all of the Xbox fan sites.

    Review Senua's Saga: Hellblade II Review & OT "The hardest battles are fought in the mind, not with the sword" |UP| Embargo ends 1 hour before release.

    Yes, but there's levels to it now after they shuddered Tango. You're gonna see crazy some over the top and cringe inducing praise for HB2 regardless of how good it is. Reviewers and gamers think they'll be sending a message to Microsoft executives to keep Ninja Theory open. Now that I think of...

    Discussion Now that FY23 is over, what are your hopes and expectations for PS during the next midrange plan?

    The fact that they haven't officially partnered with From for Bloodborne 2 is a travesty. Fuck a remake of part 1 - give us the new installment that is exclusive. That needs to be at the top of the list for Hulst and Nishino.

    Review Senua's Saga: Hellblade II Review & OT "The hardest battles are fought in the mind, not with the sword" |UP| Embargo ends 1 hour before release.

    I have a sneaky feeling that reviewers are gonna overcompensate and inflate their scores because they'll think they'll be helping Ninja Theory stay open. I'm betting this has a chance to sneak into the high 80s to low 90s and a few loud Xbox morons will champion for it to be GOTY.
