Oblivion was the most balanced elder scrolls. Early ones were too open ended with almost no guidance and skyrim was too hand holding. We all have different opinions but objectively you would have to admit that Oblivion was a good attempt at compromise.

@theduckofdeath: fanboy of gaming in general the game pass will do to the gaming industry what f2p did which i also predicted. If xbox had the 1000+ VR games and a few decent exclusives i would have had no problem going xbox since i know the ps5s innovations are gimpy and will be used just as much as the touch pad by game devs.

If Xbox keeps putting AAA day 1 games on game pass Sony will be forced to do the same. If that happens ALL GAMERS will lose.

If you do not agree youre free to say so but calling me names and demanding my silence just proves you have no point.

@Pyrosa: my assumption is that square is not stupid. Would not take much of game at this point in time to get huge sales. If they did not get a considerable amount up front or a good amount(40 bucks) per download on game pass they are losing out. Guarantee you even if Outriders ends up being a fluster cluck like anthem or fo76 its going to be a huge seller just because of its timing.

I would have to agree with the ban if the accused is over 12 years old. Be amazed how often that phrase is used casually in gaming these days. Has nothing to do with being offensive either just a dumb phrase that has been parroted by dumb kids for years and needs to diaf.

@theduckofdeath: they do huh? When did Microsoft ever try innovate their console? They been copying playstation since their inception. Yeah MIcrosoft is a huge company but xbox has never been anything but a cheap knock off and Microsoft has never even tried to do their own thing.

And game pass is not a gaming innovation it is a business model and it is about as sneaky and anti-gamer as the f2p model is. Nintendo might not of went the direction i wanted but at least they innovated. And although Sony's innovations been crap at least they are trying. But do not worry if Sony does succeed with one of their innovations Microsoft will steal the idea.

@keiser69: good games that were past their prime like I said. Not a day 1 release. Yeah it is an option atm but it is clear with some of the moves they been making recently they trying to corner the market. And if it becomes big enough it wont be optional.

@6t4gp: shortages on both systems was an old hype ploy thats done all the time. But they messed up and it is a real shortage now because of the shortage on microchips. Every ps4 player i know that switched to xbox only did it because they could not find a ps5

@keiser69: yeah up till now game pass was games that were past their prime or just plain bad.

The real issue is with the game pass model and the effect it would have on game development if it becomes the norm on consoles. Also gives shady companies like Microsoft way to much power over the gamers and the developers. And since it is Bill Gates I am absolutely positive he is doing something illegal with all the data collected from subscriptions too.

@Archaicc: consoles sold at a loss but not with the express intent to stifle competition. They sold at a loss but they end up profiting because of their cut of the thousands of games that get developed for their platform.

@keiser69: gta 5 sold 20 million copies at 60 bucks each on playstation that is 1.2 billion for a single game how many games does game pass have? Game like outriders has to be predicting at least 200 million in sales on xbox to sell for game pass for anything less would of been dumb.
