Coming to Xbox on August 26th.
>>714376858 (OP)>All that Xbox doomposting the past 24 hours>Completely washed awayWE. FUCKING. WON.
Me coming inside squid war brides
>needs a 2 minute stream to announce this
might as well make a tweet
>>714377290Yeah, what a waste of time. Real bizarre decision. Not even a new warbond or anything.
Everyone who tuned in for the stream already owns and plays Helldivers 2.
>>714376858 (OP)holy shit, its real. i cant believe it. something to look forward to. trying to run this shit on pc has sucked ass
>>714377508At least there's a nonzero chance we get an ODST crossover or something
>>714377290After telling everyone to tune in for the ARG that was timelocked for multiple days I muted the server and gave up. I'd rather just hear from /v/ about an update
>>714376858 (OP)Helldivers is one of the few good modern coop/GaaS games aside for Darktide since DRG. I'm glad Xboxfags finally get a bone.
>>714377290I'll chalk it up to whoever runs their youtube account as being unfamiliar with scheduling premieres. Besides, it got you fuckers to actually tune into it, so it must be working.
>>714376858 (OP)What is the point of owning a ps5
>>714377608My nigga, we need Halo aesthetics.
If you read this far you must post your gunfu.
>I fucking LOVE reloading
>>714378062My nigga
Vertical foregrip makes this thing accurate and it hits like a truck. Need the black and red colors on other weapons.
>>714378304It's a shame there's no real reason to one hand any weapon in the game so the SMGs get shafted for no reason
>you can carry the alien eggs which you can instead drop instantly and use a 2 hand weapon at any moment and nobody bothers carrying anyway since they give like 5 samples
I'm kinda surprised this is coming to Xbox. Many said it won't because it was published by Playstation.
>>714376858 (OP)Thereโs a decent chance more console exclusives come to Xbox now that they waved the white flag on the console war
>>714378542yeah if many xchads buy it, so Sony will notice it and release their exclusives to Xbox for making more cash.
>>714376858 (OP)>famously incompetent studio>now has to port their unstable mess of a game to series S>a famously underpowered and hard to develop for systemOh yeah this is going to turn out great.
>>714378542Playstation sees the writing on the wall, Xbox will open up for Steam on its consoles and exclusives will be a thing of the past.
I think only Nintendo will hold on to that business model.
>>714378776>I think only Nintendo will hold on to that business model.No reason not to, they have the japs and their fanboys locked in safe.
>>714376858 (OP)Sony is going full 3rd party?
>>714376858 (OP)>snoy releasing their game on xboxIsn't this the very first time it happens?
>>714378445Got a friend who always brings an SMG on intel carrier missions. I respect it, but he's just doing it for rp purposes at this point. Setting the stuff down at your feet is such a nonissue.
Might be worth taking if there's a dedicated "you can't set this shit down or you start over" item, but that doesn't sound particularly fun.
>>714378062I always gas.
Give me a gas primary gun.
Give me a gas primary secondary.
>>714378759Kek I hadn't thought about that. They suck shit at version management too which is only going to get worse.
>>714379090>Sony is going full 3rd party?bro they've been doing this for a while
MLB The Show is on gamepass
Death Stranding too
>>714379090yeah, it is very lucrative.
>>714379169It's simple, let me akimbo guns. I do not care if it's unrealistic.
Or maybe some handling bonus for two handing an SMG, or something else to do with the extra hand.
>the consolewars are over
What will /v/ do now?
>>714379120MLB The Show was the first, but the MLB itself forced that. And Marathon has not been released yet, but was announced for Xbox too.
>>714379309Nothing. It will get better and better. No more retarded fanbois throwing the shits each together.
>>714379090Xbox is turning record profits since doing it, so the suits at Sony who don't understand gaming at all probably want the same thing.
>>714378062>Now we can BOTH lose.
>>714379279>Dual-wield introduced>It's an armor perk>The armor is ugly as hell
>>714376858 (OP)(SAD NEWS)
Playstation is going 3rd party.
Now that Sony has given up, who is Nintendo's competitor
>>714377879There has been zero good reason not to move to PC since the PS4/Xbone.
lol. Iโm definitely selling my ps5 now. Luckily I didnโt buy many games on it. Got it because the astrobot bundle was dirt cheap. Just gonna trade it in for credit and buy Xbox cards
>tfw want to use the anti material sniper rifle more
>no real reason to since the commando/EAT/eurptor does its job a lot better
>>714377879Playing their games a year early. I usually stop caring about modt game after they're 8 months old.
>>714379736If Valve drops a next-gen Steam Machine, consoles are finished. Pack it up, Sony, Xbox and Nintendo.
>>714378542Sony and Microsoft know where the industry is going and you're going to start seeing more Xbox games on PlayStation and more PlayStation games on Xbox. The timed exclusives ending will no longer be just "it's on PC now", but "it's on anything that can run it. Especially if there's an audience for it". Meaning a lot more PS/Xbox/PC games and a lot more money to be made.
>>714378776>I think only Nintendo will hold on to that business model.and they're still going to win in the end.
>>714379901Nintendo will be fine, they have their audience by the balls like Disney, they're willing to pay 500+ hardware tax.
>>714379090I'm guessing they're testing the waters since it has helped Xbox with some games and Helldivers is a secondary/co-owned IP.
Plus AH was likley begging Snoy executives to release on Xbox since their is a whole Halo audience that has been watering their mouths for this exact thing. There is a genuine argument the Helldivers IP becomes the true "Halokiller".
>>714379823Do it because it's fun, anon. That's reason enough.
Are there more sensible ways to take out enemy infra than running in with a portable hellbomb, arming it, dropping it and running away? (Last two steps optional) Sure. Will I do that anyway? Yes.
>>714379120lol no
Both consoles release their """exclusives""" on each other's consoles.
Xbox got FF7 remake, Death Stranding, MLB The Show, will get Marathon, etc.
PS is getting Gears, got Forza, will eventually get Halo, etc.
People don't buy these things for exclusives anymore
>>714379901No because the people that purchase Xbox/PS are a distinct market that isn't interested in steam or PC.
Nintendo is also another market. Mobile is another.
This just confirms the next xbox home system will be a closed windows machine with steam support. Sony's trying to make some money before everyone just starts using their steam libraries on xbox.
Sony fucking blows.
It's hard for me to justify owning an Xbox while I have a PC but as an idort I have found the Xbox userbase significantly more chill than snoys who constantly act like it's still the 2000s console wars every time they open their mouth.
>Have HD2 on PC
>Now I get to play it with my 55 year old dad who has a Series S
>>714376858 (OP)How long until a Switch 2 version?
When Sony loses exclusives there are literally zero reasons to own a playstation. When xbox loses exclusives they still give you reasons to own the console from the series s cheap price to gamepass for poorfags. I don't think Sony got the memo and they're about to tank their brand harder than ever before once they port all their biggest games to xbox. This is just the beginning of the end of console gaming in general.
>>714380584I own a x and a ps5. I can 100% say Xbox has a better console. I donโt understand brand loyalty and I hate the console war bullshit and wish no games were โexclusiveโ.
>>714380742Can't see it happening any time soon, since apparently Nintendo is being very selective with their dev kits, and I can't imagine Sony was high in the priority list.
>>714381063yeah SeXbox is comfy
>>714381063you should play Halo with /hg/ some time
>>714380924Xbox also gives you a ton of backwards compatibility. Sure itโs not perfect but itโs a lot better than PlayStationโs backwards compatibility. I was playing left 4 dead on Xbox the other night and there are still a ton of lobbies.
>>714380924That is the smart move but the general vibe Microsoft seems to be giving is they are slowly giving up on Xbox.
>>714381536That is the vibe but none of their actual actions yesterday indicated that.
They didnt cut anyone from the next console team, committed to making a next gen console again, and only really cut 3 games nobody gave a fuck about.
>>714380742Not happening. You're going to be getting shafted a lot this generation.
>>714377512It's even worse on console and you can't even mod it, tweak the settings or use DX11/Vulkan
>>714376858 (OP)>dead game coming to dying console brandCool
>>714376858 (OP)does it have crossplay with sony and pc?
>>714377879For whatever 3 moviegames are currently exclusive for a couple of years
Now xbox however has absolutely NOTHING whatsoever
>>714380584The best justification for owning a Xbox and PC is that the library will supposedly be eventually carried over since Microsoft wants to effectively make Xbox a software platform instead of a hardware platform
>>714380742>muh miracle portNever happening, stick to low poly bing bing wahoo. HD2 is already unoptimized enough for real computers.
Do not pity the xbox for it hath wrought this upon itself
>>714378062I almost exclusively use the DILIGENCE COUNTER SNIPER and I exclusively refer to it using the its full name of DILIGENCE COUNTER SNIPER when I do
I just want cross-progression
i think sony and the helldiver devs have been in talks about their next game and arrowhead said, fine we will allow sony to publish but it has to be multiplat (same as bungie deal)
>>714380924Sony is in the if it isnโt broke donโt fix it stage for now, if Xbox can become stabilized with this grand pivot then Sony will probably follow suit
>>714381536>That is the smart move but the general vibe Microsoft seems to be giving is they are slowly giving up on Xbox.Weird that you say this considering they're the only one out of the two talking about next-gen hardware in official sense (console + handheld) and have literally rebranded from Xbox and PC to Xbox Console and Xbox PC. All signs show they're doubling down on the Xbox brand and chomping at the bit to beat Sony to the punch with more hardware (likely a console PC hybrid).
>>714382990Aren't they making Magicka 3?
I prefer playing on my Xbox over my PS specifically for the Quick Resume feature. You don't know how nice it is until you're using it.
>>714383817It's true.
4 distinct video game markets.
>>714385581That's true, it was interesting to see the praise for Death Stranding 2's fast loading, which is impressive. Meanwhile the quick resume feature solved most of that years ago, at least for booting up a game. Sony needs to implement it for the PS6.
>>714385581Itโs nice for single player games but for any online game it usually boots you back to the main menu
Finally they'll be able to play a good game for once.
>>714385581It's the main reason why I want an Xbox handheld. If Xbox manages to get quick resume working on a handheld, it would probably be the best handheld on the market.
>>714376858 (OP)>online only game>paying for onlinethis really needs to stop. They already have gamepass money is that not enough for them?
Who the fuck is even left on xbox that would play a game not on game pass?
Even playstation baseball has to be on game pass every year or else no xbox fanboy would care.
>>714376858 (OP)>I CAN ACTUALLY PLAY THE FUCKING GAME NOW.I tried to run this on PC two years ago or so and my shit almost froze at the fucking tutorial. Thank you dorito pope.
This is going to flop so hard on Xbox. Microsoft have conditioned their fanbase not to buy games and only have game pass.
>>714387426it's a live service game
if they put it on gamepass then it'd have to be there forever
>>714387547But will Xbox owners actually buy it? You don't hear about games selling well on Xbox these days.
It would make more sense to have a switch 2 release and just put the entire game (so far) on the cart for free brownie points.
No one on xbox will buy it.
>>7143877287 days to die actually sold better on the xbox than on ps
>>714387808Switch 2 overheats trying to run Gamefreak's slopemon and those games have fifty polygons combined
>>714385913>Xbox>Playstation>distinctYou're delusional
>>714387426Itโs gonna have cross play with PC and PS5 apparently. So at least there wonโt be a lack of people to play with?
>>714387808People will buy games if they're cheap enough
Except Concord
We don't talk about Concord
>>714376858 (OP)you mean pc? we already have this
>>714379309It's been over for close to two decades and anyone clinging onto that shit is a mong.
>>714376858 (OP)>implying I want sony's sloppy secondsLet me guess, it's gonna be $40 for a year and a half old game that is either filled with players that have all the shit or has no playerbase. Wow, what a fucking deal, where do I sign up?
>>714376858 (OP)Hopefully Marvel Tokon next, they can keep Niger-Man slop tho
>>714388845It's a multiplat.
>blue halo man (ps5)
>green halo man (xbox)
I'm too busy having fun on Halo multiplayer which is free to bother paying for this
>>714388982It's a very delayed multiplat
>>714389305Released on PC the same day.
>>714376858 (OP)I'm sure all 5 Xbox users are excited
>>714389368And not on xbox. That day was a year and a half ago.
>>714389368Released on PC a year ago.
>>714390169If it's a game is on any console and PC at the same time, it's a multiplat, not an exclusive
>>714390894Yeah but any xboner buying it is still paying full price for sony's sloppy seconds anon. We all know PC climaxed before they even stuck it in the game.
WHERE THE FUCK HAVE I HEARD THE ILLUMINATE MUSIC BEFORE
IT'S AT THE BACK OF MY MIND AND IT'S ANNOYING AS SHIT
https://youtu.be/dU84A6TD_Oc&t=311
I KNOW I'VE HEARD THIS BEFORE
>>714392063>illuminateshit I mean bots i'm retarded
>>714376858 (OP)We're gonna see way more Sony games on Nintendo, aren't we
>>714378062>take flamethrower primary>EVERYTHING is my bitch>try a different weapon to mix it up>instantly miss flamethrower Everytime!
>>714378062knight, revolver, directional shield and I throw a coin between railgun or anti material rifle, the last two slots for either strafing run or rocket pods and any of the orbitals
gunfu is cqc saber
>>714376858 (OP)What the fuck are Microsoft and Sony even doing anymore?
>>714397093>>714397093>He isn't excited for a world where consoles have to actually compete on USPs and hardware quality instead of holding games hostageI hope Nintendo does it too
>>714381063I don't understand the reasoning to owning either, what's the point when Switch, Switch 2, and Steam Deck exist? What's the point when the Steam Deck 2 will exist?
>>714398595>I hope Nintendo does it tooI hope you get hit by a train, commie
>>714380924Xbox is dead, Sony has the console market all to themselves now, throwing xbots a bone isn't going to hurt them.
>>714376921Game was already playable on a Windows OS
>>714377991In the mean time there's already a lot of halo mods
>>714376858 (OP)stopped playing this after the nerfs, is it good fun again?
>>714377608After the Killzone crossover I'd say ODST is a sure bet.
>>714388386They're the same market retard
>>714400823Xbox is dead, PlayStation is dying, Nintendo and Valve won. both of these retards spent themselves out of the console industry like the retards they are.
>>714400257>selling a product to more consumers>pushing real competition for better products>"FUCKING COMMIE!!"
>>714387426>>714387728Palworld sold a lot on Xbox, being that it was on gamepass, plus Helldivers 2 will be a $40 game, and the first Playstation and PC only game, it will sell, and a lot
>>714402387this is not the first Playstation game on Xbox
>>714402278There isn't any competition anymore if you have the same fucking games, nimrod. You might as well get a Switch 2, a Steam Deck, or wait until the Steam Deck 2 hits and get that while letting Microsoft's and Sony's hardwares rot.
>>714402805the competition hasn't been about exclusives for over a decade now.
>>714388845Don't forget the game is very buggy.
>>714402805No, they just have to compete on the hardware itself retard. You don't have DVD players with exclusive movies, same idea here
>>714376858 (OP)The absolute state of this fucking industry. Burn it all down. Hope the Switch 2 sells 200 million.
>>714379090They did in 2020.
>>714402805>There isn't any competition anymore if you have the same fucking games, nimrod.People don't buy Xbox and Playstation for Exclusives. They haven't for a while. They're two machines that both operate in the same market space. For some reason terminally online people don't understand this, but normies don't give a duxk about Bloodborne or Halo Infinite or whatever.
They all play the same shit. No, they're not interested in playing on PC.
>>714402873Then get out of the console market if you're not there to compete
>>714404272There's no longer a reason to get their hardware, faggot
>>714405484Cope.
You don't keep an ecosystem alive just off the normalfags. Why do you think PlayStation's profit margins are lower than what they used to be when they had actual exclusive games even though there's a lot more casuals nowadays splurging their mom's credit card on live service trash?
>>714405484I'm glad both of these pieces of shit will cost $1000 or more next gen. Gaming needs a cleansing to get the normie trash out.
>>714405639>Cope.>You don't keep an ecosystem alive just off the normalfags.Who do you think buys these consoles retard? It's overwhelmingly normies.
>>714405639the profit margins are lower because all the games people want to play still play "fine" on PS4, which is why half the install bases for both consoles are still on 8th gen machines.
GTA5 will change this because it's a relevant game people want to play, but not because it's muh exclusive, which it isn't.
Stop thinking like it's the 90s. Even in the 2000s the PS2s success was mostly due to riding the DVD wave as opposed to exclusive games lol.
>>714405973Learn to read before replying, nigger. It doesn't matter if they buy the consoles if the profit margins are lower than before. They buy the console but don't buy games because all they play is F2P trash. The hardcore sony fanboy did buy all exclusives/controllers/PS+subs, and so on. But they're kicking them all out of the platform with these constant retarded decisions.
>>714406261Sony and Xbox make MORE money selling their games on as many platforms as possible. You have no idea what you're talking about.
>>714406428No, no they don't. Xbox is officially dead and PlayStation are slowly heading the same route. And even if they did make more (they don't), I don't give a single fuck. All I wanted was to be valued as a customer. They pull this kind of shit, I'm out.
>>714406261>The hardcore sony fanboyHas never been the thing keeping Playstation afloat. Playstation is not Nintendo. The overwhelming majority of North American PS2 owners jumped ship to the Xbox 360 and then to the PS4. It's not about much exclusive games, it's about whatever the relevant console that your friends have is, but the games are almost always multiplats.
>>714406561>No, no they don't.Market data says otherwise
>>714406428why don't nintendo do it if it's that easy then?
stfu, you are the one that doesn't know shit.
>>714406561They're both doing it retard. So where are the so called fanboys going to go when both consoles have all the same games, because they're not gonna buy a gaming PC lol.
You have no idea what you're talking about. Imagine being mad that more people can play more games.
>>714406593No one ever said that they kept it afloat by themselves. But losing that kind of customer will be the thing that will put it under, though. Anyone with at least a brain cell should be looking to get a PC these days.
>>714406656>why don't nintendo do it if it's that easy then?Nintendo is a completely seperate video game markets Notice how 3rd party multiplats sell poorly there.
Mobile is another seperate market.
>>714406796>But losing that kind of customerWhere are they losing the customer to retard? Lol.
>>714406775>Imagine being mad that more people can play more games.Oh, you're one of those faggots. Took you long enough to show. Fuck off.
>>714406796>people will just stop playing games because now everyone can play themThis logic has never held up.
No sizable group of people have ever stopped using a console because the game is not exclusive anymore.
>>714406876Steam, you fucking dumbass nigger.
>>714406894>literally no argumentI accept your concession.
I've saved your posts though for when both companies are still making consoles next gen.
>>714406993Console players don't play on PC
Pay attention.
>>714406948i didn't stop playing them, i simply pirate them on pc now
>>714406993>Steam, you fucking dumbass nigger.Normies that use consoles are not migrating to PC gaming lol
Did you also think the steam deck would outsell the switch 2?
>>714407081That's fine brother, but people en masse don't care to do that. They're sheep.
>>714397093Theyโre in the business of making money and it turns out exclusives donโt sell as well as third party games and their budgets have gone crazy in recent years. Xbox will own half the top selling games on PS5 in any given year now, they may as well do the same
>>714406993>console players will start using steam because they don't have an exclusive game that only they can play anymoreThey already are not playing exclusive games.
Playstation and Xbox players don't want to play on gaming PCs. Period.
>>714407007Good job, schizo. Can't wait to not be in the thread where you post the screenshot, because I no longer give a single shit about what these two retarded companies do. But be sure to post the one where I said they wouldn't make more consoles.
>>714407252added to the list
>>714406428They don't, they make less. Nintendo is dominating because they stuck with the old ways, Microsoft and Sony should just go third party, at this point. Nintendo has more freedom than they do because they were smart enough to not spend all that money. Valve being PC and dealing with their very successful store allows them to just let others give them the games. Both Nintendo and Valve are eating good while Sony and Microsoft changes strategy every month or week.
>>714407287Cheers. Enjoy the (You)s.
>Console players will switch to PC because... THEY KUST WILL OK?!
1. This will never happen. This has been obvious enough to see for decades now. Console Normies don't want to game on PC. They want a normie box attached to their TV.
2. Why do you even want them lol? Keep them far away from me.
>>714376858 (OP)Sonyxisters...another exclusive...lost...
High School teacher here.
>>714407396 is correct.
Teenagers don't want to play on PC. It's kind of a social negative almost. They just want the PS5, and a few sometimes want an Xbox.
You have to realize most kids are retarded and don't realize PCs are better. They never will.
>>714407227That's their own fault, why doesn't Nintendo have this problem?
>Xbox will own half the top selling games on PS5They're killing half of the top selling games on PS5 because their gaming division is failing. Theirs and Sony's strategy isn't working. Short term gain, long term pain ALWAYS FAILS.
>>714406201But it is. It's essentially a PS5 timed exclusive because Xbox is already fully dead thanks to the retarded shit they've been pulling lately. It will move millions of PS5 units, but it you won't see Series sales increase much.
>>714407965Xbox is in the shitter for stepping on as many rakes as possible. It isnt because Playstation users can play forzam In fact the game has only been more played on Xbox since that has happened because it's more relevant now.
>>714408307pathetic.
People don't buy Xbox or Playstation for exclusives. You don't have to like that, but it has been the reality for over a decade. They don't move units. They're not the most played games or even close. For every thread arguing about Bloodborne coming to PC, there are 10,000 people playing Madden or CoD on Playstation or Xbox and they're never going to move to play those games on PC. Fundamentally different gaming market, just like Nintendo.
>>714408602Correct.
Just watch he'll keep going now even though he just claimed his participation in the thread was over lol.
>>714408602The Steamtard mind cannot comprehend people owning consoles for convenience. They will literally suggest to you with a straight face to lug your rig downstairs and hook it up to your TV as if any normal person wants to do that.
>714408678
I didn't post since, but schizo's gonna schizo. Could you imagine more than one person in this thread having the correct opinion? Crazy.
>>714405583>There's no longer a reason to get their hardware, faggotThen they should make one. Make something unique about the HW to give it a competitive edge
>>714408602just wait until GTA 5 comes out.
People will buy consoles in droves even though it's exclusive to neither.
What? Why? PC makes sense as there's a sizeable market and player base there. Literally no one has an Xbox these days in comparison to PC PlayStation and switch and those who do are almost all game pass monkeys. This is such a weird decision but ok
>>714376858 (OP)The 14 people that own an Xbox, but not a PC or Playstation, must be overjoyed
>>714411736cmon now, there are 30 mil xbox series sold. This is nowhere near as bad as wii u
>>714411923>This is nowhere near as bad as wii uLMAO talk about digging up a corpse and giving it one last kick
gran turismo on pc fucking when? and what about kill zone and resistance?
Harder levels when? 10 feels easy as fuck now with all the buffs

>>714377047This is how much one good game means to Xbots.
>>714408602I literally use to buy both PlayStation and Xbox because I got games I couldn't get anywhere else. It felt like I was missing something when I skipped a console, now I feel like buying either would be worthless, PC and Switch get the same games and more that don't come to PlayStation or Xbox so why should I bother with another PlayStation or Xbox when neither Sony or Microsoft offer me anything anymore?
>>714409368Microsoft tried to do that but were so incompetent that they canned it because it would have released in the 2030s or 2040s. Microsoft removed all the smart people from their companies and the last time Sony tried to innovate they made a boomerang. Only Nintendo and Valve know how to innovate.
>>714415351that's fair anon
But the market as a whole doesnt think like that
>>714417264The market will start once it shrinks.
>>714412484Just fucking emulate.
>>714415741>Valve>NintendoNintendo turned their successful handheld into their home console because they kept getting btfo with their traditional home consoles. Their games are not innovative, they're almost entirely nostalgia bait.
Valve hasn't made an innovative game in years, maybe decades(?). These two companies aren't some shining examples in an otherwise awful industry. They're in the lead because someone has to be.
>>714418068that's what these niggas don't understand. they think that it'll happen overnight lmao
>>714377608Alright letโs say this happens and itโs a full fledged warbond
Pick three Halo weapons to put into it, one of them has to be a stratagem.
And also, pick an armor bonus for the ODST set.
>>714418256Nintendo and Valve knew where the wind was blowing and followed it, Sony and Microsoft ran into a wall.
>>714412484Kill zone and resistance won't come until they do a 'remaster' if they ever do. Gran Turismo idk why not.
>>714418614Valve did for sure, but Nintendo did not and famously made the wrong call multiple times. Cartridges over CDs, fucking mini discs, ignoring online gaming during the GameCube era, then again during the Wii, half baked Wii U that somehow took the worst part of handhelds and home consoles and combined them, then finally they realized what they were good at and just gave their Gameboy an HDMI cable.
>>714420546Nintendo literally predicted everything that's happening today would happen.
>>714418397BR (with single/3 round/full auto shot selector)
Magnum (the super powerful Halo 1 version)
Maybe spartan laser strategem? Or sniper rifle strategem. Both of these things basically already exist in HD2 but I can't really think of any halo weapons that are really strategem worthy
>>714418397Warthog skin for the FRV
Plasma rifle (the old school one not the nu-one)
BR
Plasma grenades
SPNKr strat, HE oriented rocket launcher that fires slow thermobaric rockets with heavy armor pen
Armor trait vastly increases walk speed while aiming/shooting
It's only 1 game. Sony is fine.
>>714423460Just 4 games, right, Phil?
Always-Online will be illegal in your lifetime.
>>714423749That's different. Xbox will never get Bloodborne or God of War.
>>714424495Just like PC would never, right?
>>714379226I got the gas gun then realised it didn't leave gas clouds behind and was pointless.
>>714418397Needler (one handed)
Battle rifle
Support weapon sword
Armour bonus lets you dual wield weapons listed as one handed.
>>714424534PC is different
And it never did get Bloodborne
>>714424534PC has an audience, Xbox does not.
>>714376858 (OP)Okay, but why? We know these Xbots don't buy games and won't touch shit unless it's on Game Pass, which is why Microsoft completely went all in with becoming a third party publisher. Don't believe me? FF16 didn't even chart in the top 50 on the most played Xbox games when it came out, nor did Forza Motorsport (which is on Game Pass). Other games like Indiana Jones, which was a solid game, also failed to do well.
Not to mention the Xbox Series is a dying platform. It would be like porting Grand Theft Auto Vice City on the Dreamcast in 2003.
>>714426023Xbox players like shooters. HD2 is a shooter. They will buy the shooter. They will buy warbonds. They will enjoy themselves. That's why
>>714376858 (OP)Is there even a sizable user base on Xbox? I thought it was a dying brand and console and also being downsized at MS.
>>714425472If it doesn't then why are devs who've never supported xbox before or abandoned them last gen going back to supporting xbox this gen? Why did FFXVI get shadowdropped on xbox a few weeks ago? FF7remake is also coming to xbox. Genshin is coming to xbox. Atlus now market their games alongside xbox including their last 4 releases being on gamepass. Yakuza was also never on xbox but now is a big gamepass partner. And now Sony are porting their biggest game ever to xbox. If the platform has no audience why is dev support growing instead of shrinking?
>>714426023That FF16 news was a blatant lie spread by Sony fanboys on twitter. It was in the top 10 most played on xbox.
>>714426529No it fucking wasn't. I know who you are talking about (he's done Britfag named Nib, who is indeed a Sony corporate slave), but I checked those charts myself when he posted those tweets and he was right.
>>714426180Explain why Halo Infinite failed, then?
>>714426794If you say so

>>714426938Top Paid games on a platform where most people use Game Pass isn't a hard achievement. But nowhere on the "most played", which is what I originally stated in my original reply.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/most-popular/games/xbox
>>714378542sony has long stated intentions to release live service games on competing consoles so they can profit more from microtransactions. this game is years old and dwindling in popularity and was always MUCH more popular on PC than playstation, so they are expanding the audience now that anyone on PS who would've bought it already has. this game eventually releasing on xbox has been a foregone conclusion and constantly rumored since it came out.
besides all that though, rumors are afoot that multiple playstation studios games are coming to switch 2. sony might actually throw in the towel on exclusives soon.
>>714378062For me, it's my raifu Diligence CS
>>714427182I doubt square enix cares about who has their xbox connected to the Internet to see who is playing the game as opposed to how it ranks in the sales charts which show it did very well globally on xbox and became a best seller instantly despite being a shadow drop with no marketing. Safe to say square enix FF games won't be skipping xbox going forward unless there's an exclusivity deal. This is another massive win for xbox.
As for the game I pirated it on PC and its fucking garbage so my condolences to anyone who spent money on that trash.
>>714426364MS bribed those companies to put their games on Xbox, that's why.
>>714378542Arrowhead's contract with Sony is done. They already announced that their next game will be multiplat and that they want as little as possible to do with Sony in the future.
>>714427636Microsoft bribed Sony? Lol
>>714427801Sony fully owns the Helldivers IP.
>>714427861No what I said, retard, MS had to bend over backwards to get Asian devs to support Xbox. You don't do something like that without offering a financial incentive,
>>714428424So you're saying Sony didn't do shit and had another company make a game they couldn't? Okay then

>>714418397I'd take a SPNKR strat, shit would be sick. A multi-shot rocket launcher with the power of a RR. Just needs a drawback or something to not replace RR AND the commando.
>>714428915The financial incentive is sales from consumers. Microsoft aren't a charity and none of these JP publishers or any insider like schreier have come out to say MS are bankrolling ports which aren't doing well. The publishers are publishing their games off their own back and they're evidently doing well enough to get further ports.
>>714426882343 fumbled the bag, it was doing really well in the pre-release until people realized that was all the game had.
>>714379486The nerf made it really hard to love these days
>>714428424Most likely is that Arrowhead will just make a ip since I don't think Sony is willing sell Helldivers ip
>>714429483MS paid Atlus for marketing rights, that's the kind of financial incentive I'm talking about.
>>714429849That doesn't make sense because all companies have marketing deals for games but not all games. Final fantasy doesn't have a marketing deal with xbox yet XVI just got shadow dropped on xbox and remake is lauching in a few months. This is all still while Sony has the marketing deal for the franchise and will continue to do so through till ff7 part 3 comes out and possible beyond. Where is the financial incentive in your scenario? Its almost like its just as I said where the sales are the incentive, not any kind of deal.

>>714424495This is a start, more will come. Xbox and PlayStation are done because Microsoft and Sony are too big and never really cared about video games, which is why both try turning them into entertainment hubs. If you're a Nintendo or Valve fan, you're a true gamer.
>>714376858 (OP)remind me again, is this the first time a playstation studios game becomes available for xbox?

>>714432085Video game consoles were never meant to be entertainment hubs, they were meant to be fun toys for kids and nerds. They're like the toys you played with as a kid, those fun games you played outside with your siblings and friends, those family board games including board games that require strategy. Everything about them were meant to be pure gameplay and fun. Sony and Microsoft are trying to kill this, Nintendo and Valve kept this alive. Microsoft has already given up on hardware, Sony is next. Nintendo and Valve know how to reshape gaming without strong arming devs with monopolistic practices like Sony and Microsoft constantly do. Those evil ass mother fuckers.
>>714432560To add to this, Sony and Microsoft are even trying to kill the arcade spirit which is also returning. Nothing can stop the old ways of gaming returning and the death of AAA.
>>714432560>nintendo>not strong-arming people
>>714433373>Nintendo>makes fun games that inspires allMaybe Sony and Microsoft should learn something from them but that will never happen.

Why is this a big deal? There are Xbox games on PlayStation. There are PlayStation games on Xbox. Both want to make money and both know how stupid it is to pass up on money by keeping a game off of a capable console. I see PlayStation continuing its timed exclusive thing for a little bit, but just opening it up to also coming out on Xbox rather than just on PC. Eventually, they'll do day and date for certain games like Xbox is doing now and when it happens, the only people who will have problems will be the 40-45 year olds STILL holding on to console war bullshit while everyone else just enjoys playing the games and Sony and Microsoft enjoy making money.
You play games on PlayStation because of the PlayStation experience, the UI, your digital library is there, you like the controller, it's an all in one media machine, etc. You play games on Xbox because it has Quick Resume, Gamepass, you like UI, you like the controller and just the Xbox experience. The sooner you stop playing this ridiculous game where contracts are the only reason why exclusives even exist anymore for games (which is growingly becoming a useless and monetarily wasteful idea), the better. Also if you're honest with yourself, there hasn't been an exclusive game worth its price in many many years now.
>>714433832I have no idea why they called this a punisher when it's a magazine fed grenade launcher.

>>714376858 (OP)Are they going to allow the Chinese to play?
>>714436106They'll move out of gaming, which is what I want.
>>714439293>Why is this a big dealPlayStation fans pride themselves on exclusives. The only reason PlayStation exists and why consoles exist is because of exclusives according to them. What this means is that, by their definition, PlayStation no longer exists. At least in the way they once were.
I hope they all move to Nintendo. Switch 2 fanatics are already pathetic and nu-Nintendo fanatics are basically modern-day Sony roaches so they'd fit right in.
>>714379309Nintendo still exists
>>714379309Get a Switch 2 and then a Steam Deck 2 when it comes.
>>714379028The lore wants you to think that superearth is really not the good guy in this story but at the same time you have shit like this.
>>714446138It's a warhammer 40k kind of situation where the human government is the last hope for survival, but the only reason it is a fight for survival is because the government started it (partially). The bugs came back because SE got lax with their breeding programs, bots exist because they enslaved the cyborgs, and nu-illuminate only went full evil biomancy after SE attacked them unprovoked.
>>714445618>Steam Deck 2That's still years away.
>>714446138The lore was written by cosmopolitan shitlibs who don't understand that their comfortable Scandinavian existence thrives on Americans bombing the ever-living shit out of brown people so free movement of goods can happen through the Strait of Hormuz and along the African coastlines.
>>714446489That logic kind of breaks down when the same people bombing those sandniggers also fund them.
>>714378062my trusty pummeler with my jugger build for bots
>>714446462From what i can tell the cyborgs adn the old illumniate both wanted to destroy super earth, so they had to fight back.
But then there is also the lore that claims that super earth is the homeworld of the illuminate and they want it back.
Or that the cyborgs where a faction from super earth who wanted to run away from super earth.
But not that the devs will ever explain any of it.
>>714446907Cyborgs were terrorists but SE didn't help by discriminating against people with implants, especially once said terrorism started and SE did internment camps. SE unironcially struck first against the Illuminate with an obvious Iraq War parody where SE claims they have WMDs.

>>714447809The writing was on the walls for some years now after MS buying up so many big studios and then failing to make gamers jump ship to xbox.
I'm going to say this again, here on /v/, because a lot of anons still dont understand it.
Outside of the US, nobody really gives a fuck about xbox.
It's PC&sony&nintendo outside of the US.
US has been keeping the xbox brand alive, on life support, but even that is over now.
Gamepass was the last big project to save xbox, but it failed.
>>714446661>That logic kind of breaks down when the same people bombing those sandniggers also fund them.Give a moment. Just think about it. Think about why that is.
>>714448108They lost any kind of momentum they'd built in Japan under Peter Moore when Don Mattrick put the kibosh on their Japanese indie scene because he thought overtly anime stuff would scare off casuals and then the 360 floundered in Europe when they lost those FIFA marketing deals to Sony.
>>714448628The 360 had this small moment of a lot of nip studios showing intrest and porting games to it and then it all died in a second and they all went back to sony&nintendo.
really want to read the backstory on that one.
was it MS throwing money at them for some time?
>>714442281Okay, but the thing is Sony owns the IP and ports still cost money (the PC port for Spider-Man 2 cost over $5 million according to the Insomniac leak). This doesn't really benefit them and they might not even make back however little money they spent porting the game.
It also causes consumer confusion and lack of confidence. Now people are asking questions such as, "Will Sony port something like Spider-Man or etc on Xbox?"
And before you bring up MLB: The Show, that was not Sony's decision. The MLB wanted the game to go multiplat and threatened Sony that they would give the game licensing to EA if they didn't port it to all platforms.
>>714448881Yes, Peter Moore (who was ex-Sega, so he knew how Japan worked) put a lot of emphasis on courting Japan, which is why you had exclusives like Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, the Western version of Tales of Vesperia, Guilty Gear Overture and so on, but also a lot of XBLA indie games (mainly anime scrolling shoot 'em ups).
>>714448694Purity spiraling faggot. :V
>>714377879You get PC exclusives plus certain games earlier than the Must Wait race.
>>714376858 (OP)That's the same day Gears of War is coming to PlayStation. I'm on Xbox and I'm actually excited for the trade-off. Xbox doesn't know how to make games anymore, so I genuinely wanna thank Arrowhead for actually giving us something good.
>>714450465>I'm on XboxAt this point, you have to be retarded. It's not that expensive to get a PC with an RTX 4060.
>>714450724I play on everything. I just mostly play on Xbox because it's been my default console for the last 15 years.

A 40 dollar fucking game that locks actual weapons and other content behind a paywall. Fuck off
>>714446138As the other Anon said, the Illuminate you see in Helldivers 2 are the remnants. Super Earth decided it didn't want to share space and proceeded to attempt to wipe out the species. The zombie shit you see in HD2 is the result of those remnants adapting to fight back. The government brought all that horrifying shit down on the people by being a pack of greedy, violent assholes.
>>714452167>At least PS5 games are exclusive for a yearDoes that even matter when they're putting their shit on PC, Switch, and now Xbox. This is how it starts. It's best you drop PlayStation now before it gets worse, let Sony suffer the same fate Microsoft is. Also, that leaker on NeoGAF, SneakersSO just confirmed that the next Xbox will be very expensive and will only sell in very limited regions globally. It's gonna flop.
>>714443237>They'll move out of gaminglol no
>>714453794Next Xbox is barely going to in any market and will be very expensive
>>714453319. PS6 is going to be far more expensive than the PS5 Pro. The PS5 Pro is currently selling like shit at $700. Tell me, anon, with a straight face.

Except the SE government at the time was busy with dissidents and other issues so accepted their independence, they didn't have popular support to go to war with them. "Coincidentally" some time later a totally not inside job 9/11 happened on SE, the gov pinned it on the Cyborgs, anyone calling it a false flag got imprisoned, and they rallied for war.
Illuminate weren't built for war at all, despite their massive technology advantage they really didn't have advanced weapons to defend themselves with, the WMD accusation was a lie for SE to grab their tech (which they turned into a WMD)
Bugs were just chilling in their sector until SE discovered them and bred them for oil and mutated them into a aggressive swarm.

The writing was on the wall especially when their CEO admitted that they have no homegrown IP. They're not confident that anything that isn't Spider-Man can sell as well as a Nintendo game in the longrun.
>>714381804>You're going to be getting shafted a lot this generationOwning a Switch doesn't prevent people from buying other consoles, and you can probably count the number of 3rd party games that are in higher demand than Nintendo's stuff with one hand.

>>714431576>Nintendo fans>true gamersI've been gaming on PC long enough to feel disturbed at the thought of dropping 60 quids on something like Kirby or Mario sports spinoffs. There's no way they're worth their prices. The glaring problem with Nintendo consoles is they don't have any game of substance that you can play and replay for hundreds of hours. Most of the games are 30-hour once and done shit with simple gameplay, which results in Nintendo consoles becoming more like side bitch gadgets that you'll use to distract your young relatives.
