This. If Game Pass was on PlayStation 5 and I can download Microsoft’s first party games, all Microsoft’s eco-system would get from me is a $10 monthly rental for each game I want to play in the generation. I would spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars in the PlayStation eco-system because without exclusives, there would be no reason for me to give Microsoft any extra money.
This is exactly how I look at it. If your exclusives are available on your competitor’s platform while their exclusives are not on yours, why would anyone jump into the Xbox eco-system? If I had Microsoft’s exclusives on PlayStation 5 via Game Pass and can download them while im still getting Sony’s exclusives as well as other full/timed exclusives, I would trade in the Series X and Xbox would be done for me because I would no longer need a second console and eco-system to invest into when im getting everything I want on the other console and eco-system.
Because having games available via Game Pass is more important to some people total number of games available. Don’t see how paying $70 on one console is less desirable?
The next battle is services, having games exclusive to your service is important.
Agreed. First, most people would be overwhelmed with Game Pass due to it having hundreds of games so that’s a turn off because most people will never touch 95% of those games due to not having the time or it simply becomes just too much. Second, those who are PlayStation only owners are not buying a $300 or $500 console just for Game Pass. Instead, they would just buy the few games they want on PlayStation and call it a day. Third, if you’re getting everything on one console/eco-system, why would anyone want to jump into the console/eco-system that doesn’t have everything?
As @anon98342452 pointed out, this thread is about Crisis Core being remastered and released on Xbox. Take the exclusivity/ecosystem complaints elsewhere.
After watching that and seeing the graphic glow up, it’s clear that it’s more than a standard remaster. I think there’s more to this game then just to catch people up on the story.
FFVII Remake itself isn’t a standard retelling of the original story, from what I’ve heard. Makes sense that that same concept would apply to this game.
You will see one of the worst characters in gaming. Nomura was probably star struck by a japanese artist he wrote him a role for this game. GACKT !!!
The potential for memes are endless.
And for the game ?
Story sucks
Gameplay is okay
Sephiroth shows human side, Zack & Cloud interaction are good
Aeris writing sucks
The new important characters are just bad
GACKT is the worst character
There is a reason why Sony didn’t moneyhat this game
Edit: Its not a bad game and FF7 fans will probably like it. Just don’t expect too much.
Great post! I’ll sheepishly admit that I liked Crisis Core (still have my PSP copy), so I’m pretty excited for a potentially-better version that more people get a chance to play
