I really hope Xbox changes their stance on late ports along with whatever clause they have on indie games. I was waiting for The Red Lantern to release but the Xbox version was dropped and is seemingly not even coming anymore. https://twitter.com/TimberlineGames/status/1195089099339661312?t=oNrrWdCfakHVUrnDEtRlJw&s=19

Obviously Iâm talking about the future for Gears of War.
I find it strange on why people keep thinking first party will just drop incomplete games that will be like Sea of Thieves. I know Halo Infinite happened but the circumstance is very different than simply releasing it because game pass. Forza Horizon 5 is a big title. Same will be for any upcoming ones from them.

Exclusive franchises always get hit when the console gets hit. The X1 had a bad image around it and so Gears and Halo suffered

Hysterical that OtherERA basically has the same acquistion begging thread that we do but for PlayStation now.
Sad as well.

Oh, so its not like a shared progression or anything?
Unless you are Forza, Sea of Thieves, State of Decay , etc because those dont count then.
Those didnât get hit because of bad consoles.

Acquisitions are life 
Do not, my friends, become addicted to acquisitions. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence!

For better or for worse I think Final Fantasy might be the only next gen JRPG. With Nintendo owning Japan their hardware is basically going to be what JRPGs are built in mind for. Maybe some Bandai Namco ones too since they seem content with ignoring Switch with games like Scarlet Nexus and Tales of Arise.
I only say better because at least Nintendo doesnât moneyhat them.
State of Decay was an AA project which had a low barometre for success. Forza suffered hence why Turn 10 are taking 5 years to reboot it, Sea of thieves flopped big time initially.

First party wise, everything got hit.
State of Decay 2 was a sequel to the 360 hit game thats gotten over 10M players and did super well at launch too against God of War, Horizon became one of the biggest franchises on earth in the xbox one era and SoT has been played over 25M players and turned into a gigantic IP for xbox. These games/franchises all performed well long term.
I fail to see your argument Hindle.
