I see this topic is going the full r*trd way: if a game isn't 100% gameplay from the second you press start up until the credits, it's a movie game.

Did you guys even played MSG4? Yeh, and that s**t ain't a movie game.

Not defending TLOU, cause screw that game, but...it is a SP game that never had a MP in the original plan that got a MP... Halo is a MP game from the start....without MP stuff that's been done in the past...IN HALO GAMES.

Those on copium thinking that Forge will be available when 343i says so need to wake the **** up. Be happy if its available by Q3 2023.😅

where is tlou2 multiplayer?? We've been waiting 3 years now.

Coming out next year, and its season 2 won't last a year

so you waited 4 years for the multiplayer portion to release for a game? Let that sink in for a minute.

@gifford38: See the problem is that I already have a PC that can run those games higher than 1080p and more than 60frames or at 60. Absolutely no reason for me to buy a PS5 to play games I already can.

So we have Spider man and ratchet and clank, which are hardly system sellers. Maybe the Horizon 2? Did not like the main character tho...

@gifford38: I don't want a pro. I want a smaller system and I am willing to wait for it because there aren't that many decent exclusives that justify early adoption. Always bought the original console and this time I think its justified to wait.

What games aside from ratchet and clank do you think justify a PS5 right now?

It's not about reviews, it's about Halo 5, Gears 4, Gears 5 selling way less than Halo 3, Gears 1-3. Their first party sales figures were definitely down between 360 and One, yet the costs of game developments are more expensive now than ever. They simply couldn't sustain having their biggest hitters not selling millions of units.

You have numbers for your claims?

Kind of hard when Microsoft doesn't release sales numbers. We know games like Gears 2 and 3 sold well (Gears of War 2 sold about 2 million opening weekend) and games like Halo 3 sold like 15 million copies worldwide.

https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/gears-2-sells-2-million-in-opening-weekend

Halo 3 sales:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/video-games/2022/03/24/halo-series-infinite-future/

Halo 5: Guardians is said to have sold 5 million which is terribly low for a Halo game, the flagship franchise of the console. That is like if Uncharted 4 had only sold 5 million as the finale of the franchise.

https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/8i8d45/halo_5_the_problem_of_no_sales_numbers/

Halo 5, lowest selling game in franchise history for the UK:

https://www.gamerevolution.com/news/11970-halo-5-is-the-least-selling-main-halo-game-in-uk-history

Gears of War 4 sold....617k units in its first week. A little over 25% of what Gears 2 accomplished in a single weekend:

https://www.vgchartz.com/article/266448/gears-of-war-4-sells-an-estimated-617k-units-first-week-at-retail/#:~:text=Sign%20up%20today!-,Gears%20of%20War%204%20Sells%20an%20Estimated,First%20Week%20at%20Retail%20%2D%20Sales&text=The%20third%2Dperson%20shooter%20from,retail%20according%20to%20our%20estimates.

Sure it's VG Chartz but the devs (including Phil Spencer) claim Gears 5 sold better than Gears 4 despite Gears 5 launching day one on GamePass, so what can that tell us for the overall sales figures for Gears 4?

https://screenrant.com/gears-war-5-outsold-4-xbox-game-pass/

Halo Infinite and Gears 5 are going to be more speculation than sales ever because they both launched deep into Gamepass being a thing, so we will never get any real numbers for those games, just "active players".

Damn for someone that replies several times per thread page, he sure dodged that one pretty good.

Jesus Christ, I haven't been around here in a while and I see shit is exactly the same it was 20 years ago.

@hardwenzen: you already bought one? Oh you sweet summer child. I think I won't even get the original and just wait for a revision of the hardware . Hell if they release it gow2 on PC in a manageable time frame I think i might sit this one out.

**** Pro. I want a slim PS5 for god of war because I dislike the white mammoth design.

If I want to play the prettier version of it I'll wait for the inevitable PC release and shred it as 1444p 100fps.

@dzimm: I already explained that leaving a job is not possible for a lot of people. Living within our means, ah yes, I could live in the sewer, but at least I have 1k cushion in case my rat gets sick. Don't you understand that in a free market like america, what matters is the bottom line, if you pay just enough for that person to eat, then you control that person because leaving is not an option, because starving and missing utility payments is not an option.

They maybe not take your money from your account, but they sure as hell will make sure you won't gain more then the bare minimum. Socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor. Amazing setup. The rich get richer and the poor get to choose between heating and water.

@dzimm: you didn't answer to anything I said. You simply gave examples of people screwing their budgeting while I gave an example of someone who can't even set money aside unless they starve or live like Diogenes, in a barrel with a wooden bowl.

As much as I am a defender of social causes not being a zero sum game, this case it kinda is https://inequality.org/facts/global-inequality/. To be 100% clear I am NOT against rich people, I believe people are entitled to make money and become wealthy, but I do not believe that one singular person deserves to have so much money, they could house every single veteran in American, pay for one year of chemotherapy OF ALL CANCER PATIENTS and STILL be incomprehensibly rich.

https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/

Scroll that and read some of those lines. 400 people have so much wealth they could cure the world of malaria and hunger in one go AND STILL BE INSANELY RICH, beyond comprehension.
