Where does Microsoft go from here?

@pc_rocks: I see and agree to a point with Ryse. But lets not pretend Crytek were still incredible devs at this point (did you play Crysis 3?) or they had great experience at making an action, hack n slash game.

I never said YOU said anything. I was speaking in general terms. A low investment, safe GaaS version would be making a Destiny/Division clone with Halo or Gears imo.

I've made my points, I was never arguing with you here. Good talk.

@cainetao11:

Oh I get that we are not arguing. From your other posts I know you're not a typical SW fanboy. We were discussing things which I believe is not a SW thing. :D

And I don't believe Crytek are incredible devs after Crysis Warhead but until and after Ryse they had their core team still with them and I'm one the guilty people who actually enjoyed Ryse for what it was and whole heartedly believe that a sequel with proper time in the oven will fix most of the issues. Actually I'm of the opinion that Ryse was shitted on more because it was an X1 exclusive at launch rather than on its own merits, it seems so especially after I see the same media lined up to praise and defend the new GoW and Hellblade.

Understood. Sometimes I unintentionally rile people up. Really wasn't trying to sow wanted to make it clear.

My favorite part of Ryse was the coliseum MP. I agree that it could have been worked and turned into Xbox bloody H&S. Shame Crytek wouldn't sell it. It'll be interesting to see if the quotes around the X1X launch stating now they are going in on games, come true.

• Continue to innovate in XBL
• Invest in software, and game studios
• Prepare themselves for next gen

Microsoft can do great things for gaming, but it'll take some time.

that is another ad hominem

When you're on top and king of the hill like they are just keep on keeping on... baby!! :P
