Oh, it’s you

It has nothing to do with messaging. It is simply the case that one company has a better policy than the other with this whole cross-gen period and people see it, and no amount of spin can rectify it.

Wow, this was a huge surprise!
I didn’t know anything about the character, but I did see a trailer and didn’t think much of it. Just saw it and I’m pleasantly surprised, it was awesome and there was very few that I didn’t like. One slight annoyance is that I wish the director had went all the way. With that I mean some scenes that are spoken in English which don’t make any sense at all.
Even in some flashbacks they spoke English when it really should have been Mandarin. They didn’t know any English at those points yet. Or the bit in Macau, they mean to tell me everyone speaks English there?
Minor little thing for me, because otherwise awesome. Loved the fighting, the characters, the CG, the story, the music (excluding the pop shit). One thing about his friend though…
Katy turns out to be a pretty good shot, as soon as she shoots some arrows. And near the end of the movie her arrows fully hits the dragon. So basically she’s a natural? Unlike Shang she didn’t have any training but the post credits make clear that she’ll be part of the team now.
You know, with the PS5 paid upgrade cost complaints (or lack of option even for the standard version for Forbidden West) gaining some steam, now would be the perfect time for Xbox to announce the end of Gold.
That would really propel the conversation forward for comparisons between the two platforms and could start a more significant shift in mindshare and push people to enter the Xbox ecosystem. Though they probably haven’t quite met their Gamepass subscriber goal yet and might want to wait for xCloud to be more available.
Nah, you save that for after the PlayStation Showcase to steal all the thundarr. But yes, such a move like that this year would have a large impact.

if they eliminate gold then that means I would downgrade my gamepass ultimate to regular gamepass because I don’t game enough on PC or cloud to justify ultimate. I think that would be tricky problem for microsoft if they scrap gold. Also I feel it could potentially mean some drop gamepass and possibly buy games instead of using gamepass. Anyways, would be very interesting to see what happens if they drop gold. Also I feel they could gain back some of the casual audience that just play sports games and shooters

I love that you have been clinging to me so much since the beginning of this summer, simply because I remain neutral. You continue to do this further 
Going live with more No Man’s Sky

Did you feel that? Somewhere, something…shifted.

they are not eliminating gold this year, nor the next year. They don’t need to react to PS showcase in any form, just announce the next Halo flight around mid to late Sept and watch that do all the work necessary.

Wonder if they’re are trying to avoid BF2042’s september beta, which has no actual date yet
idk but they sure are gonna evade that CoD beta around mid Sept. I’m thinking late sept is a lot more likely, or if that isn’t an option, early Oct at max.
Exactly, the need to give af about what Sony does or doesn’t is less important than ever. Xbox can do its own thing. The desert period is over.

I agree for the most part but I don’t think COD will be on the showcase or Ghostwire. Also, subtract Death Stranding DC launch trailer as that’s being shown the day before according to Kojima himself. I don’t see Goodbye Volcano High either due to it being delayed into 2022 with no release window a few weeks ago. Rest again, I agree with. I do think we’re getting at least 2 unannounced games/surprises.
The Sony upgrade shit sucks but thankfully, I have a PS5 so none of it applies to me. My suggestion to those who don’t own a PS5 would be to just wait until you do. Plus, the game would be cheaper when that time comes. I simply wouldn’t go through that hassle and I would want to play the best version which would be PS5 until the PC version releases.
Ubisoft has 3 versions - base/deluxe/ultimate. It only appears more because they vary based on region. Sony and Nintendo pretty much get away with everything. It is what it is. All anyone can do is what’s best for themselves.
Hahaha. Only if it was a live showcase. I didn’t care for the flute guy for Tsushima but the orchestra for God of War was fucking awesome and fit perfectly since Bear McCreary did do the soundtrack.
Sony gameplay trailers are setup but they do happen in the game. I didn’t notice any downgrades with Uncharted 4 or Tsushima as they were easy 10/10 in the visual department on PS4 and PS4 Pro respectively. It wasn’t a Watch Dogs level downgrade, that’s for sure. lol.
For me, GAMEPLAY > in-engine > CGI. To be perfectly honest, I would much rather WAIT to see a game get revealed/announced with gameplay instead of getting a CGI trailer because CGI is fake as the game is never going to look like that. State of Decay 3 is a perfect example. No way the final game is looking like that trailer.
Also, when I go back to E3 2015 where Sony debuted Horizon Zero Dawn, it was perfect. Cinematic story trailer followed by actual gameplay. I wish every company showcased every game like this for the first time. Logos and CGI is a no-go for me. Doesn’t get me excited at all.
That’s a great idea but im not expecting Gold to be gone until Fall 2023 at the earliest.

Dont know why people think Xbox needs to counter EVERY Sony showcase or news drop.
Not expecting it until Game Pass subs go to like 35m-40m.

Another month went by with no FPS Boost News nor the return of the backwards compatibility program.
I think some people are simply still stuck in the past.

Like I said, Fall 2023. I’m expecting 30m+ as of Decemeber 31st, 2021. And 40m as of December 31st, 2022 so around 50m by the time Gold is gone two years from now.

Yeah that sounds fair to me. Just gotta keep chugging games into game pass.
