Haha it’s the current trend but I don’t see it as much as i did 1-2 years ago. It’s at least more interesting than “British person reacts… / Japanese Person reacts…”

I totally agree that this is unacceptable, but I also have no sympathy.

I actually think Colin is a smart dude the way he absolutely destroyed Saltiest Gaming was hilarious, but aside that the the guy has been taking massive L’s lately, Bethesda games being on PS5, MCC being on PS4, Microsoft wanting to show a Halo Battle Royal in 2018 but scared off by Battlefield…they also claimed Deathloop would be a permanent exclusive…these guys have gone off the deep end lately.

Dustin tho…holy crap he’s unbearable…At least Colin makes an attempt to be as objective as possible but Dustin absolutely uses bad faith arguments against Xbox

For example…why mention Crackdown 3 as an example of Microsoft second party…but disregard Ori, Forza Horizon 1-3, Flight Sim etc? By that logic is Sony bad at second party games because of Order 1886, Destruction All Stars etc?

Why mention Scalebound when Platinum flat out said not to blame MS for it entirely?

Why mention Halo but ignore Gran Turismo…which is Sony’s most legendary IP and now a 70 rated franchise despite taking years and years between releases? At least Halo has the benefit of having a new developer where GT is still made by the same team for the last 25+

Sony’s management isn’t a magic bullet…if that was the case every game would be high quality and there wouldn’t be games like Days Gone, Gran Turismo etc…

If Microsoft’s management was so bad…why aren’t there issues at Coalition, Turn 10, Playground Games, Mojang etc? MS for the most part lets these studios management themselves otherwise by Sacred Symbols logic all of MS games would have development issues.

I have previously used your name in some post and would like to apologise

However, I do agree with your stance and believe your estimates for many of the games would end up being true

It’s definitely not out of the realm of possibility what Hindle thinks about multiple big RPGs in a year. I can see Avowed being the one and only big one in 2023. But it’s different when it’s a smaller RPG, like the Sawyer project. I can definitely see one big RPG in that year and also the smaller one.

That being said, I wouldn’t be happy if it turns out we indeed won’t see two big RPGs in a year, GP should mean things change and that this doesn’t have to be like that anymore. I’d love to have InXile’s Cobalt at the start of say…2026 and holiday TES VI.

Fable in 2024 shouldn’t mean that ToW 2 can’t come out.

@Hindle don’t take it personally, but I would avoid using that exact phrase, because everyone I’ve ever interacted with who unironically use the term “Woke PC Culture” turn out to be giant shitlords.

You seem decent enough, so I’ll say you probably break the cycle, but that term is a red flag for me.

Hey excuse me, it’s Ice Nice Kills, there’s a difference :stuck_out_tongue:

Also I only go into the acquisition thread now to post memes. Learned my lesson in there.

@Hindle Look dude, I get where you’re coming from, and I’ll try to limit the “Hindle Time” jokes since it does bother you, but I say lean into it.

I mean, I’ve made the :clown_face: thing part of my gimmick now. Bothers me less when people actually call me a clown.

Ah yes, the inevitable end to this story. Led everybody on with the SIlent Hill train, backtrack on Kojima stuff, then double down on it when nobody’s looking, whip the internet into a frenzy, then when everybody realizes what you’ve done, the death threats arrive.

Folks, don’t death threat devs.

But everybody say this coming with Blue Box a while ago.

Decided to ask Xbox support Reddit about the problems my brother has with launch XSX and also the brand new one. The launch XSX that had total shutdowns during CoD beta last year and this year and also the BF beta. And worse, the full game of Avengers. The brand new XSX that worked for 15 minutes and then shut down and doesn’t power on anymore.

I received replies with advice and also someone that told me he has these issues too, except that it’s with NBA 2K22, Madden, FIFA, MS tells them they are investigating but it’s been months and nothing. Personally I’ve had the XSX shut down multiple times with the Cold War and Vanguard betas, but nothing else yet.

But what is causing these shut downs? According to this site this year there have been many complaints about shutdowns.

Now I wonder what they mean with many, because if it was widespread many sites would have catched on with articles and I didn’t see them. That being said, this shouldn’t happen.
