Discussion Ben Kuchera: If you ever questioned a Polygon review score, you were right.
Looks like several pro MS channels were bought out. We know Digital Foundry was bribed before by MS (a known member on GAF provided proof and even mods validated it) and now Polygon was cheating too. A lot of Sony games got low scores on Polygon (like the infamous 7.5 to TLoU) so they were... -

That would be another option yes, increasing drastically the number of copies sold... Or microtransactions I guess. Game costs must stop increasing that fast anyway, or they'll have a hard time keeping the same profit margins. -

Discussion My Opinion: Xbox should buy PlayStation and end the console wars
Microsoft owns FPS with what? Halo Infinite was supposed to last 10 years and it's already dead. You apparently can't even launch some game modes because nobody plays it anymore. Give me a break. Xbox is still 3rd and last place like it has always been. Gamepass was supposed to change things... -
Discussion What Are You Playing Right Now?
There are new squad modes where you can play with 1 to 3 friends as coop vs the rest of the players. It's still very similar to the first season. -
Discussion What Are You Playing Right Now?
I'm ashamed to say I play Volta Fifa mode with my friend in London these days. That, and a bit of Fall Guys too. -
Discussion Why there’s so much negativity and hatred in gaming right now?
Agreed. A lot of gamers should try having a more positive attitude. It's a lot healthier anyway.
