The XBX is not competing against the PS4 (or PC/Switch) as no one in their right mind is expecting the XBX to sell 60m units.
What it is competing against is the PS4 pro (it already won on specs) and if it out sells the pro at its $500 price point then it should be considered a success.
@ThePlantain: You are correct the very first article i saw was from Polygon and that lib was definitely mad that it was women/marginalized ppl being harmed not about the violence itself. If it was 3 CIS white males being harmed by a female it would probably been empowering to the author.
On an unrelated note sometimes i think i smell Polygon on this site i could be just getting paranoid though.
Ah the "another zombie game" from Konami has reappeared, well it will probably be the prettiest zombie game to date as the FOX engine is legit. Other than that I don't expect much from this game but who knows could be fun.
Its over ladies and gentlemen it has been for a while. Loot Box based mc will be in most if not all "AAA" games from here on out. Whales, Dolphins, addicts, or just people with money to burn they are spending like never before and pubs dont to be left out. Complain all you want but you know its a lost cause the only thing that will "fix it" is a crash. I do not want to see that happen only cause i don't want all those people to lose their jobs.
Luckily there are alternatives like waiting for dirt cheap sales, renting(not much longer), or just avoiding the game/microtransactions completely. "AAA" is not the only game in town and for me they don't even produce the best experiences any more.
Side note i wonder how long till Nintendo joins the craze.
