It wouldn’t suprise me because Microsoft had made deals with Riot for LoL and Valorant

Valid point.

Right, I’m assuming simply because they have a deal for every Riot game (and presented it as such). It is possible it could lapse, but I’d imagine with the world’s general F2P / live serviceness…wouldn’t happen,

Tho Valorant hasn’t splashed as much on console as I think they’d hoped.

Now I really hope John will turn out to be right with his guess.

His guess seems pretty much, it won’t but there’s better tech that will give it some advantages over last gen systems. Like a better CPU for one.

Switch 2 will not be more powerful than PS4 Pro in handheld mode. No game on Switch 2 will exist without handheld mode.

More modern features will not mean better performing games. Switch has more modern features than Xbox One already but most games perform worse in resolution and/or framerate.

people should keep their expectations in check.

Oh I’m definitely keeping them in check, but I find it interesting what he’s saying. Sounds like it will be better than expected for docked mode?

Question for you guys:

I understand Xbox gets some unwarranted hate from outlets, mainly ones that are too obvious, but do you believe everyone comment negative thing(s) means they hate Xbox? Like can you separate between out of spite and reasonable criticism?

It’s fairly easy to tell what is legit criticism and what is plain bad faith. Especially when the outlets/Youtubers who engage in bad faith are just so obvious and over the top with it.

Depends on the expectations. Nintendo hardware has been hyped to the heavens since the Wii only to result in lots of disappointments in the fanbase. My personal expectation: this will happen again :smiley:

Nintendo fans can be as unhinged as Xbox fans or more (remember, they are waiting for a powerful console since the Gamecube). Before the Switch was announced there was a rumor and got some traction that AMD accidentally swapped the plans between One X and the Switch chips.

i dont think its hate or fanboy behaviour. its more like desperate clickbait in a dying business.

Literally this.

I would more take it as “these are two different pieces of technology and they aren’t as directly comparable as we treat them with different pros and cons”

I would love to see this, hopefully in future seasons. :crossed_fingers:t5:

I appreciate the answers. I just think people need to relax on calling this or that. I actually went through that earlier and the guy thought I was being a thorn to the community, so he blocked me. I’m here thinking, “Is this really warrant or I just dealt with someone so sensitive.” I have seen others defending me, which is nice. I can’t undo that person’s action. It is what it is. I just believe people need to relax and stop treating everyone an enemy.

This is something you don’t say “nah” to, but hey, who knows, maybe it didn’t look too great? I don’t want to go all “Screw you MS, for this.”

Was this here? Because I genuinely have no idea what you are talking about. :slight_smile:

I always find your posts perfectly normal and fine, and I appreciate them. Just to let you know. :pray:t2:

I think there are enough contentious topics and negative sentiment in the community nowadays that even people arguing in good faith can get the block depending on how annoying I find them. Particularly on other era.

Ah, I’m guessing RE then. Boy am I glad I can’t even remember the last time I visited that place. There are level headed chill folks there and it be great if they joined here, but some others…sheesh.

Interestingly there only seemed to be Ghost of Yotei and Marathon for 1st party PS.

Nintendo has Professor Layton, Pokémon Legends, Metroid Prime and Donkey Kong Country Returns.

Actually, it’s completely different. It’s not gaming related in fact. But yeah, I wouldn’t go there either.
