  • CBTDesigner posted a message on the post PS5 Has Outsold Xbox Series X|S 2 To 1, Newly Revealed Sales Data Suggests.

    This is a bit worrisome, strategically speaking...I worry about collusion between Sony and Microsoft, against the consumer.However, cross-platformi play is long overdue both in titles and on-line ba...

  • CBTDesigner posted a message on the post Epic Games Cuts Almost 900 Jobs In Video Game Industry's Latest Mass Layoff.

    It's an overdue correction. Video game fare, even with the latest graphics are mainly cash cow titles.You know Final Fantasy 9K, Forza in even greater detail but lackluster content, Madden 2042...As...

  • CBTDesigner posted a message on the post Starfield Review - To Infinity, But Not Beyond.

    I'm reserving judgement, until I have a few hundred hours in. Oblivion was my kind of game but I thought Skyrim wasn't much of an improvement.While the mechanics are similar, the artwork stands out....

  • CBTDesigner posted a message on the post Starfield Being An Xbox Exclusive Means Millions In Lost Sales, Microsoft Believes.

    Somehow, the big 3 (Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo) should arrive at a compromise where everyone wins.That means much less exclusivity but more satisfied customers, profitable gaming companies and Game...

  • CBTDesigner posted a message on the post Major Nelson Is Leaving Xbox After 20 Years.

    I think he had a great gig but 20 years IS a career.I too wasn't impressed with him but he did his functions without being too smarmy or over-the-top with his descriptions. I won't miss him but wish...

  • CBTDesigner posted a message on the post How Starfield Is Similar To Red Dead Redemption 2, According To Todd Howard.

    Unfortunately, the persistent practice of releasing reiterated games as original has me concerned.Also, the (apparent) use of preorder customers as Beta testers guarantees I won't order early...if at...

  • CBTDesigner posted a message on the post Review Roundup For High On Life -- Here's What The Critics Think.

    I can't help but wonder how a game that's not even released, scores a 9...but High on Life's (HOL) review isn't anywhere to be seen. Is this commercial bias? The developers didn't pay "Tribute" to ...

  • CBTDesigner posted a message on the post High On Life Behind The Scenes | Xbox Games Showcase Extended 2022.

    I may be too excited for this game, as trite titles have been flooding the marketplace. I wish the developers SUCCESS!

  • CBTDesigner posted a message on the post Get a Steam Deck, No Reservation | GameSpot News.

    @DocMARs: Valve's direct distribution point, instead of shipping to retailers.This will be alleviated, if this Christmas the platform takes off.

  • CBTDesigner posted a message on the post Get a Steam Deck, No Reservation | GameSpot News.

    This will be where the "rubber hits the road" for Steamdeck. I am uncertain, especially being the first to comment, whether it will be a viable platform. I may get one, just as a novelty.

  • CBTDesigner posted a message on the post Madden NFL 23 Review - High Upside.

    (Sigh) O.K., I'm giving you this idea for free: Instead of making minor tweaks and milking the franchise year to year, make a subscription model.Create features that allow for variables, like real-li...

  • CBTDesigner posted a message on the post The Most-Anticipated Xbox Games Of 2023 And Beyond.

    Ancient gamer here. I wouldn't necessarily be listing all of the titles. I remember all of the "vaporware" of the 1980s game crash debacle. I think you should have pared the list to the titles wit...

  • CBTDesigner posted a message on the post Microsoft Claims Sony Pays "Blocking Rights" To Stop Games Appearing On Game Pass.

    Thanks for this article. Folks don't realize the BIG,BIG money video game revenue generates. A lawsuit in BRAZIL???!!!! Times sure have changed in the past 40 years! Personally, I perceive this as...

  • CBTDesigner posted a message on the post As Dusk Falls Review - Family Matters.

    This is a "twofer" article: It's an in-depth review and a DEEP perspective I greatly appreciate. I will likely acquire this game at some point, thanks mainly to author's accomplishment.

  • CBTDesigner posted a message on the post GameStop Will Have Xbox Series X Bundles In Stores Tomorrow.

    My patience and obstinance finally paid off, as I picked up a Series X last week. It was at one of my local chain grocery/department stores, Smith's Marketplace (Kroger/Fred Meyer). It's stores lik...

  • CBTDesigner posted a message on the post Super Bowl 56 Winner Predicted By Madden 22.

    The Great Prognosticating Seer has spoken!!!!!! Seriously GREAT video!!!!

  • CBTDesigner posted a message on the post Steam Deck May Be Larger Than You Realize.

    O.K., nobody has addressed the elephant in the room - Supply vs. demand. Will this be another Series X/PS5 debacle? I am interested in this as an alternative to a Series X. My perception is this MIG...

  • CBTDesigner posted a message on the post Firearms Expert Reacts To MORE Battlefield 5 Guns.

    While I appreciate the effort and expense of this video article, it fails to be constructive. It's a fanboy piece of fluff, regardless of the expertise of this armorer (armourer).If you want to get ...

  • CBTDesigner posted a message on the post Five Years In, Nintendo President Says Switch Is "In The Middle Of Its Lifecycle".

    Nintendo has a wildly successful product line, I am certain it is constantly (I hope) learning from. Their family friendly ingredient component is what I perceive to be their secret sauce. I don't ...

  • CBTDesigner posted a message on the post Have A Nice Death Gets March 8 Release Date.

    This one sounds intriguing. I hope it eventually comes to consoles!
