  It’s a consistent issue for Microsoft releases. You would think a company that sells cloud services would be capable of having a smooth launch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rumors of Sony Acquiring FromSoft’s Parent Company - GAMESCENSOR⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t disagree with point 1 or 2. My biggest issue with Sony releasing games on PC has been recent. Trying to force their login is stupid. It doesn’t work for people not in their target regions. I’m not one of those affected people. I would also prefer if they would reduce the delay porting from console, but at least the ports are usually well done.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rumors of Sony Acquiring FromSoft’s Parent Company - GAMESCENSOR⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll be honest, I was in favor of Microsoft acquiring ActiBlizzKing. I didn’t have faith in the existing leadership and Microsoft has mostly taken a hands off approach with its developers. Since the acquisition, things have been mostly OK, at least on the Blizzard side. The biggest issue I have seen has been increased monetization, especially for WoW and D4. Not game ruining, but concerning.

  For this acquisition, FROM doesn’t appear to have management issues. I also do not like the direction Sony has been taking things, especially with their PC releases. They are also the market leader on Consoles, so I do not see this as required to stay competitive.

  Please no.

  I think the cost of WoW has been fairly reasonable over the last 20 years. The subscription has stayed the same price of $15 per month the whole time, and if you know you are going to play WoW for the whole year, it is just $13 per month with an annual sub. The only thing that has gone up in price is the expansions which have gone from $40 to $50.

  I think another point that you are missing is that WoW players often spend most of their game time playing WoW, which means they spend less on buying other games.

  I bought the PS4 Pro as well, because it didn’t feel like a bad value. It felt like a mid gen refresh where we got some extra power for no extra cost. Sony thinks players care about the extra performance for another $200, which is ridiculous. Up until this generation, consoles got cheaper over time as they become cheaper to produce. This is the first generation (that I remember) where the cost has stayed the same/gone up.

  I fully agree that at $500, this would be a no-brainer for those wanting the extra power. A $350 base console would be a good pairing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨World of Warcraft adds $90 mount to in game store⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing is, they won’t be able to sell a Mount like this again in the future. This is kind of a “break glass” type of situation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨World of Warcraft adds $90 mount to in game store⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s going to sell like crazy. It’s not just that it’s a Mount, but it also has an auction house and mailbox that you can use anywhere at any time. The only other mount that has the AH is no longer attainable regularly, only on rare occasions for gold cap.

  I am going to get it, but I’m going to use my gold in game to convert to bnet balance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zotac Zone review: Display galore with class-leading inputs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Could always install Bazzite on it, which would fix the UI issues and bring it on par with the Steam Deck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lego Racers- Intro⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess I usually skipped the race part, because I don’t remember that nearly as much as the guy walking up to turn on the lights.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No doubt it will come to both consoles. I just wonder what upgrades there will be on the new console.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IGN Entertainment acquires Eurogamer, GI, VG247, Rock Paper Shotgun and more⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Are there any other major publications not part of that group now? Seems like a blatant monopoly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Marvel Rivals | Official Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The beta starts soon but this game doesn’t give me much hope. It’s a cool idea to combine all of the heroes, but it’s being made by NetEase. The combat also didn’t feel very impactful and the environments felt a bit bare.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Report: A Marvel 6v6 Overwatch-Style Shooter Is Coming⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Marvel copy of an existing game developed by NetEase? Nope

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spec Analysis: PlayStation 5 Pro - the most powerful console yet⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s like when Apple says iPhone n is the fastest iPhone ever created at their announcement event. I would certainly hope so.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Total War Warhammer 3 devs will remove Steam users starting boycotts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The series is still great, but decisions by the company recently have really been bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck users can now play Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 offline⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like they could have avoided this problem by not requiring a remake of a 25 year old game not require an always online connection.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft expected to finally buy Activision Blizzard next week⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  With Diablo IV arriving soon, I wouldn’t be surprised to see most, if not all of their games on Steam over the next few years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cyberpunk patch 2.01 now available⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  • Automatic Love - The distortion effect caused by talking to Johnny and selecting a specific dialogue option at the end of the quest will no longer persist on the screen.

  This bug was driving me crazy. I am glad they finally fixed it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Next Console Coming 2028⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would they need to release a new console for game streaming? The advantage is that it can run on anything. It would also guarantee that Sony wins that generation before it even begins.

  RX480 is an AMD card that came out 7 years ago, not the GTX 480.
