I would like to see the Thalmor get destroyed in an Elder Scrolls movie.

That's a lot more than I figured it would in all honesty.. a franchise that's never clicked with me personally. Well... I guess one of the games I played wasn't too bad..

Give me a break... It's called world history for a reason. I like different takes on culture and alternative realities. It's a nod to that culture and a compliment whether it's completely accurate or not, as long as it's not blatantly trying to make the culture or history look bad, and especially for political reasons. Neither of the games is question meet that criteria.

I don't see anyone getting upset when Japan or other countries make games based on Western culture and philosophy. It's a double standard people make up to pretend to be mad about something that is in actuality imitation which is known as the greatest form of flattery.

Depends on the game and how frequent they are.

As a family we watch movies at the theater and stream new movies at home.

I'm thinking somewhere between an 80 and 84 meta. I also predict (with the crystal ball Phil lent to me) it will eventually be announced for PS5. Either way I'll either try it on Gamepass or wait for a sale on PS if and when it ever comes.

I have Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 to play through first either way, so I can wait a while.

Are people going to continue acting surprised every couple/few weeks an Xbox game or two are announced for the PS5 (or the upcoming Switch 2)? Phil quite literally said it's not in their best interest to keep games off other platforms moving forward and they don't intend to do so.

Like I said before, I'm not sure I really like this, but... if both have their own service, but I can only play all the games on one console then I'm moving forward with just PS, and if they offer gamepass on the PS eventually I'll sub to PS Extra and Gamepass.. hopefully they can bundle them into a package at some point.

That said I will buy another Xbox if they are the first to make a console/pc hybrid with the power and features of a next gen piece of hardware. If not however.. well unfortunately it's time for me to stop purchasing Xbox hardware and just support their software... which is what they want either way, so whatever.

Either way Xbox (MS) staggering their game releases is brilliant to keep the hype going. If they did it all at once there wouldn't be as much self advertising and hype. A LOT of people will buy first edition physical, or day 1 digital, games on Playstation like Forza, Halo, or Gears just to say they were there... and at the end of the day MS makes more money for their Xbox division which in turn can continue buying devs and publishers and cornering the software market with the extra sales, which in turn strengthens gamepass so they can offer even more and continue growing their service until it's almost essential.

@Litchie: Interesting, thanks for the heads up. Perhaps I should print one out from online if I can find one.. or just buy a different copy.

Astro Bot is way better in my opinion. Then we also have Mario Maker 2 which is probably in my top spot.

All I know is that dude you posted in the OP looks like JB Pritzker.. lol.
