Again. that your opinion and is not accurate.

MS does have bad games but so does Sony and anyone else.
Trying to say that MS make nothing but bad games is false.
Are you doing this on purpose and in bad faith? Where did I ever say Sony and Nintendo don't have bad games? Where did I say MS makes nothing but bad games?

All I said is that Xbox is terrible at producing good games because they are, it couldn't be more obvious than it is now. It's embarrassing how lackluster Xbox entire history in the console market is.

I disagree with almosty everything said by you, because they are not true.

'Digital only' Is the future of gaming, PC gaming is just farther ahead on that.

'PC Ports' Have better options, More graphics mode, Better lighting and Ray-Traced Reflections. Example! Spider-Man PC Port destroy the console version.

'PC Settings' Put you at the forefront giving you almost total control to tweak everything to your liking.
Having more options and control is not a negative.

Maybe you're not good with the Spec's and stuff that goes along with the PC Gaming experience.
It can be learned later, cause when i first starting PC gaming as my two main platform 'the other being Xbox' I did not know enough of everything about PC gaming also but as i used it more and more i learned and now it is my main platform.

So in do time you will get used to everything, and will learn to love it.
I know that digital only is the future and beyond that, streaming. Both of which are great as options but as the only option, I will pass. A lot of PC ports are broken and just don't work half the time. I agree that PC games have more and better options but for me, this is a less is more scenario where I prefer the developers to preset everything to the best they can and that's it. I'm not going through a bunch of options just to get the game to run at a locked 60+ fps. For me, this is just a waste of my time. Insomniac for example, has a resolution mode, performance mode and performance Ray Tracing mode. Give me 60fps, a lower resolution and the best RT reflections you can give me in a preset mode and im good to go.

I know PC is better than consoles and always will be because of the tech and capabilities but I prefer the easy, simple and straightforwardness of consoles. Always have and always will. But for you and those who prefer playing on PC, I hope you enjoy it all to your heart's content but for me, im simply not interested in PC gaming.

Xbox was Publisher of the Year last year.

If they are as bad as you say they are.

How did they produced the best publisher of 2021?

Ok, boomer. Everyone has had a Smart TV for ten years now. Who the hell boots up a console just to use the Netflix app?

TL;DR: your joke is old

Can we replace Netflix with Crunchyroll to make the joke relevant again? Most (all?) Smart TVs don't have a native CR app 😔

I'll allow it. Though the Crunchyroll app on Xbox sucks ass. I moved on to using the website on the PC again.

What's the reason to boot up a PS5?

Hint: it's not any "muh exclusive". Everyone is just playing GTA, Fortnite, CoD and Fifa/Madden/NBA. Same thing happens on Xbox.

Many such reasons
  • Returnal
  • Spiderman
  • GT7
  • HFW
  • Stray
  • TLOU II
  • Death Stranding
Those are the games I played there this year alone. There's a couple more my girlfriend has played herself.

I could list off twenty-ish games I played so far on Xbox this year. But that kinda wasn't my point. People will, for the most part, still stick to the games mentioned above.

EA won that PoTY award twice.

They also won that on the back of a bunch of games that were well on their way before MS bougt the studios. So their best year as a publisher is the one they had the least involvement with the games?

Not to mention that Halo Infinite was somehow well reviewed despite being trash and pretty much killing their main IP.

If you are satisfied with MS output of games and is a big fan, all the power to you, doesn't change the fact that it's putrid.
