Yeah, the nicest guy (appearance or not) is usually the scariest.

By the way, if Sekiro ends up on Game Pass, everyone must play it. Best FromSoft game, hands down.

We did y’all, we survived almost 2 years of “we back” and “it’s over” lol. I know there is still the CMA but I’m sure it will get resolved soon somehow, as the CMA doesn’t want to be an island when the other 3 big regulators(well the courts in the US lol) approved the deal. We almost there lol

Also (for me) the most agonising, lol. I am not a fan of some of the boss fights with multiple phases. You die, you do it all over again.

For me it’s the first Dark Souls.

Yo will destiny 2 be back in gamepass?

I know a lot of folks here have focused on the Game Pass implications of this deal (And why wouldn’t you? Diablo 4 plz!), but let’s just underline the fact that CoD will still release on PlayStation for the foreseeable future, will still be the highest selling title each year unless GTA pops up, and Microsoft will be collecting 80 percent off every digital PS4/PS5 copy.

It’s hilarious!

The cultists will fund our games.

Truth be told, I did not fall in love with Sekiro until I gave it a second chance earlier this year. Once you really get into the rhythm of combat, it is the most satisfying thing ever.

In all seriousness I think that Jim Ryan could lose his job over this cluster when the Sony Japan ownership really assess what the heck he pulled here.

He won’t. PS5 is selling gangbusters around the world. The biggest issue he has isn’t the ABK acquisition, it’s the trend of software not selling as much consoles are selling. The PS5 is now selling at a profit, so Jim Ryan has hit his targets.

This year has been crazy y’all, we had our ups and downs as Xbox fans. The hifi rush to Redfall and doubts about ABK deal to a great notE3 and now this, it’s been a wild ride but glad that we as fans has something to look forward to and Xbox is here to stay.

God I wish people would not post Schreier tweets. He loves to throw cold water on the celebrations.

Excluding COD, every game that Activision/Blizzard release will be exclusive to the Xbox eco-system as they should be.

Pardon my language but to me he’s the definition of a b*tch boy
