a while ago someone posted a .jpg or picture of a guy buying flowers or pots of flowers and the flowers all had smiley faces on them. then later they were dead with frowny faces. the buyer had the label microsoft and the flowers were blizzard lol
New Vegas was the best Fallout imo
For Starfield, as a PC player it was hilarious to watch the Console Wars once again, but it was even more funny that neither that nor Spider Man won awards.
Starfield is just a reskinned Skyrim which wanted to capitulate on No Man Skyâs success.
Which was made by Obsidian not Bethesda.
Didnt those two started to kill themself before Microsoft got them? Like, at this point why stop self destruction i guess.
Pretty sure Rare has made some pretty good titles under Microsoft.
If weâre still mad about BKNB we need to rationalize the gameplay is solid, it just isnât Banjo Kazooie as we know it.
That was 343 itself.
Infinite, while massively flawed with a terrible launch, is a return to form in the best way possible especially with the big bads at that company having seen their way out.
As pointed out, Bethesda killed Bethesda.
-
Doom Eternal plagued with petty internal strife
-
Fallout 4/76 being massive steps back from Bethesdaâs design philosophies of their most successful products paving the way for Starfield which is arguably a doubling down on the worst aspects of their best games
Nintendo has a dedicated smear and legal team to stomp out any sort of backlash and/or fan games and absolutely trash the individuals responsible regardless of intent on the individualâs part.
Sony is about as corporately cutthroat as Microsoft is.
Guess what? You want to play games? The gaming industry isnât a good place when you peel back the curtain. Either pick a new hobby or put your money where your mouth is and do better with your game choices.

Because this is big company focused on profit. They take unique gems and make them a âtemplayedâ jewelry
Now that I think of it, arent you the guy who defended Bobby Kotick?
Yeah I got nothing to say to you. Regardless of MSâs reputation its literally 10x better than Blizzards was under Kotick, maybe even 100x.

I would go as far to say they havenât made a solid game since Morrowind.
Oblivion and Fallout 3 were fantastic.
Bliz were doing a good job of destroying themselves without microsoftâs help

Rareware was already in decline by the time Nintendo sold it to MS. Donkey Kong 64 cost a crap ton of money because of a bug that could only be fixed by including the expansion pack, Conkers Bad Fur Day was a commercial flop, and while Banjo Tooie did well, we started to get stinkers like Gruntyâs Revenge and Starfox Adventures. First game they made for MS? Grabbed by the Ghoulies, and went on to make Nuts nâ Bolts. And those were their idea. Perfect Dark remake and Kameo sold poorly too, and Iâd argue, donât really hold up very well.
My point is, Rare destroyed themselves. They had their golden age, and then at the end of their N64 heydays the writing was on the wall and Nintendo saw their decline, stating they didnât see value in the company they sold it off to Microsoft where they proceeded to produce⌠garbage, to the extent where their role was diminished to a helper for a while. Itâs easy to look back with rose colored glasses and say MS ruined the company, but really⌠it didnât. Rare ruined itself, and MS came in and gave them another chance, allowing them to keep making games even today.
The acquisition of Blizzard by MS is nothing but a good thing. Itâs unfortunate people lost their jobs, but this happens every merger, and MS has its own people to bring in, with new ideas and experience that should produce better games than whatever the heck happened with OW, and a 3 or 4 year wait with zero content for an hour long PvE mode no one asked for and no one plays a week after its release (because itâs bad).
How can you kill something that is already dead? The Blizzard that made all the great games no longer exist. It is only a husk of what it was.
this is an opinion stated as if it were a fact, when it is not a fact
Some folks like Fallout better, some like Starfield better
to each their own
And windows phone, and now almost killing XCloud.
After killing the Windows Phone they still said âwow it was a mistake, it had potentialâ⌠And even then they didnât bring it backâŚ
XCloud with servers full of problems, terrible quality, huge queues, bugs that make you restart the game (no sound, no audio, audio out of sync with video, etc. and with that you have to go back to the HUGE QUEUE), limited catalog, they promised to add keyboard and mouse support since 2021 and they never talked about it againâŚ

I have $200 AirPod Pros. Never had 1 fall out. They are much more comfortable and convenient than regular headphones imo.

I think the expression is âaged like wine.â Unless you like cheese. Wine is often associated by its age and apparently, the older it is the better it is.
But on to my response for this topic:
WHAAAAAA?
Microsoft makes similar decisions as Bobby did when it came to âProfit firstâ policies? So the blame cannot be placed solely on Bobbyâs shoulders?
Say it ainât so!
The Forums canât be wrong. They know everything!
