Sad. Gaming used to be this:

Now it’s this:

This is unironically the best descriptor of the modern state of vidya I've ever seen

Ginzeen just needs a little cum in his life

Banjo64 , do the guy a solid and at least eat healthy for a day or two. No reason to give the man a sloppy mouthful of mangoo. Give him something he might enjoy.

Banjo64 - I hear that eating a bunch of pineapple will make it a little less bitter …

So James Cagney was just being thoughtful.....

That was such a joke comment by Phil... That his career moment would be getting to use other divisions resources and money way beyond what his division can even dream of to just acquire Nintendo or whatever else. Not to release back to back GOTY or the highest metacritic or critcially acclaimed game or most played game... NO... Not that... but what company he can acquire. Should tell everyone all they need to know about Phil and MS

 

[The Pleasure]

We now got weird folks like Ginzeen going through this thread and posting emojis on posts from several months ago. The most deranged fanboys, can't convince me otherwise.

edit: You're sick in the head lil boy

 

[Heisenberg007]

My guy is going through an entire thread that has 1651 pages. Talk about literally having no life.

Sheesh (young thug voice).

 

[Dick Jones]

I was replaying Grim Fandango and never realised how talented Phil Spencer was. Xbox fans are lucky to have someone who has so many career moments.

Well, as of now this isn't true. One could assume of what may happen, of course.

They can't yet. I guarantee there will be xbox exclusive skins and probably gamepass skins. The question is will they hoard extra modes like Sony has recently.

Not sure why anyone would complain about the 2018 purchases. Outside playground who was already second party all were in rough shape financially. Obsidian was relegated to AA games. Brian Fargo was ready to retire because he was sick of spending all his time fund raising and not being creative. Undead labs was basically a second party studio who needed money to improve technology and move to AAA. Double fine almost went bankrupt during physco naughts 2 development. Complution was a complete fixer upper.

Good thing no one is complaining then.

Thoughts on it now?

50% the last sentence, which I was expecting. The CMA claiming the false victory, and 50% the inquiry group feeling like they've got backed into a corner and need further ammo to get to move to a phase 2. The latter of which(feedback) was something I said I wasn't going to send.

I haven't sent any feedback throughout the process, yet, but it is clear that after this acquisition CoD games will all be transposed to Windows native APIs at the expense of the games' current Android, iOS, MacOS, PlayStationOS NintendoOS, SteamOS and WindowOS agnostic position. A position that has allowed Activision to remain agile to market changes and actually bring games to more players, ironically. And although the move to DirectX/Windows threading, etc, etc might seems like a mere detail of the acquisition, this is actually both Microsoft's and Nvidia's prize: Microsoft get to convert their AAA PC gaming OS monopoly to nascent cloud gaming, because anyone wanting to carry those games for the next 10-15years with release and feature parity, never mind the cost that will be asked for a linux version, will need a Windows OS license and be at the update cadence mercy of Microsoft, something that Nvidia won't, because they implement DirectX for Microsoft, and by extension will have less driver problems because of it and will naturally win out a massive market share for their GPUs in cloud gaming servers that run Windows.

The idea that the pathetic non-structural baby sitting remedies will stop a nearly $3trillion and £1trillion company working hand in glove to corner the cloud gaming market while leveraging CoD as a must have piece of content to compete is highly unlikely, and on that basis I am currently thinking of writing something to that effect in hope that when they investigate for a phase 2

With Intel having brought additional competition to the GPU market, the ability for everyone else - that isn't Microsoft or Nvidia - to independently compete in Cloud gaming - free of Microsoft licensing deals - with any choice of hardware using open source open standard APIs should be at it most competitive, currently, and yet in the next few weeks, the nascent market will be wrapped up from other gate keeping trillion dollar companies and market leading console and hybrid consoles, and market leading PC AAA game stores, never mind any other would be new entrants.

Well that depends on what they do with it. Kind like you and your threads.



Don't say I didn't warn you.

Well that's the problem. Now go and fix it.



Also clean up your language instead of trying to sell us something you don't own.

Oh so you have a sex problem then. That explains everything.

Maybe switch to Viagra instead of using that witch doctor stuff.

 

[Edmund]

Ginzeen Why didn't you send me a PM too? I'm one of the biggest Sony warriors here. Am i not worthy of your time???

What are you on about ?

Or you can use that GP stuff if it gives you a boner.

Gp is legit a huge reason why I don’t even use my ps5 tbh

 

[MasterCornholio]

What are you on about ?

What are you selling?

Give me a good sales pitch and I might buy it.

 

[havoc00]

Damn the deal isn’t even finalized and people are already big mad, sad!

 

[MasterCornholio]

Then your missing out. Because GP isn't a part of a lot of things.

There i proved you wrong. Now say your sorry.

Or else i will paint you with blue stuff.

 

[MasterCornholio]

I wasn't even talking about that. I'm talking about you selling me a PS5 Pro.

I think i bought 2 games in the last year everything else I’ve played has been from gp or stuff i had in my backlog from my one x

 

[havoc00]

I wasn't even talking about that. I'm talking about you selling me a PS5 Pro.

Hit up Jimbo he’s for the gamers and a good guy he’ll get you one asap, you will have one even before Cerny gets one

 

[MasterCornholio]

See the thing is not everything is on gamepass. A lot of high quality games that I buy don't show up on the service.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Hit up Jimbo he’s for the gamers and a good guy he’ll get you one asap, you will have one even before Cerny gets one

Doubt it I just want good games to play. I don't mind buying them. It's how I support developers. Your not against that right?

 

[havoc00]

If I want a game I will buy it, I have such a back log from gp I rarely feel the need to buy something.

 

[Little Chicken]

Well now maybe we'll get a sequel to Singularity.

 

[MasterCornholio]

If I want a game I will buy it, I have such a back log from gp I rarely feel the need to buy something.

Problem is you don't want games and instead chose to sell a service.

See what I mean?

I already pre ordered mw3 and nhl 24 so I buy stuff that I want to play. Those will last me all year if not more plus my gp backlog and what’s still coming so it works for me

 

[Varteras]

The good guys have won !

Doesn't the psychology of evil tell us that everyone thinks they're the good guys? Even when they're huge douches?

Except for me. I'd molest a man just to hurt his feelings. Evil isn't someone else's label. It's my goal.

So what's wrong with buying games like I do?

Who said it’s wrong lol I said I love gp and it has offered me tons of value personally

So why do you push it so much?

 

[Dick Jones]

So why do you push it so much?

 

[MasterCornholio]

I mean I don't go around and try to sell games to people. I'm definitely not bothered if someone uses a subscription but it is weird when they constantly try to sell it to us.

 

[havoc00]

Those socks are nice af

 

[adamsapple]
