You could make the disciples into mini bosses to pad things out.
If we're being honest here I think that Samson could be an interesting enemy for "Christian God of War". He is a merciless killing machine whose lust for blood is powered by anger, making him a copy of classic Kratos. One can easily write a reconstruction of original GoW with him as an antagonist.
 
MK8 cheats by counting bundles. So do almost all other games on both lists, to be fair, but MK8 was Nintendo's big Christmas bundle for years and had a much higher rate of bundling than the others.
Same play that bumped Miles Morales and Last of Us 2 numbers. Call me cheeky but I could see most switch owners buying MK8 separately, Miles and TLoU2? Not so much.
Try to ignore your bias toward the company for a moment. They own the biggest IP's in gaming history. IF their management is competent enough, then the Goy Pass could overtake the PS5.

In my post I never said that their management is competent. I stated that Xbox is at a position to outsell Snoy by a lot. Insomniac's own internal docket said this. I am not going to pretend to know whether or not Microsoft will take advantage of this. I actually hope they don't so Xbots can keep seething and coming up with funny conspiracy theories. But saying that there isn't even a 1% chance that Xbox could make a comeback is not a logical argument to say the least.
They may own the biggest IPs but that means fucking nothing if it doesn't translate to anything. Also, XBox pass can be played on PC directly, They don't need to play the console market and are already with a foot out of it. They just need to shit out decent closed model computers (which is what a console is now) for the people that can't be assed to build a rig and focus all of the business model on their subscription model and also putting it on the steam and epic store when relevant.

All 3 main competitors are now playing very different games now and Sony seems to be the clear loser in all of this since they are still playing the traditional console model but don't have the exclusivity appeal that the Switch is packing in spades to make it worth actually considering over other alternatives. Microsoft? They don't give a fuck if you have an xbox or a PC as long as you have a subscription plan with them.

Both Xbots and Snoys are total losers, but I gotta say the biggest losers right now are the Snoys. Those fuckers don't even play videogames anymore. They just watch 20 hour long movies.
 
Xbox has potential, but I don't think they can capitalize.

How many years has it been and we still don't even have screenshots of the Perfect Dark reboot?

I think there is some weird shit going on behind the scenes. For some reason The Initiative (the studio that Xbox created for this Perfect Dark reboot) couldn't make the game by themselves and they needed the help of another studio (Crystal Dynamics) which weirdly enough is the one that director of The Initiative was in charge of before he was hired by Microsoft.

Oh no. They're going to ruin yet another badass female vidya character. *sigh*

Xbox fans have been wishing this since the last year of the 360. Two generations later and the console brand is in total decline. Kinect. HD-DVD. No physical game support. Tons of abandoned 360 titles no longer on XBLA store. Tons of titles not backwards compatible. Emphasis on 'Gamepass' and removing ownership from players. Dearth of first party games and original titles. Lack of official wired controllers. Patches to deliberately brick third party 'cheating' controllers that end up hitting legitimate controllers. Overspending on dead and dying studios. Starfield being the premier game of this generation. Franchising every single IP with terrible movies and television shows.

The next Xbox will probably be without physical media, forced always online with forced subscription to Gamepass, and the games will be worse than Starfield and Diablo 4. But will still sell just enough that Microsoft will keep the brand alive for one more generation. Before retiring Xbox and going fully into Gamepass. They probably have one more generation to turn things around immediately.
 
For real. God of War 2018 should've been "Kratos destroyed all the Greek Gods in a trilogy, so now he's going to beat all these fucking Norwegian nerds in one game." Once that's over move on to Egyptians and maybe take more time with them because there's more of them (and they're way more fucking interesting than those stupid Norwegian Gods).

Plan it out. Make a trilogy. End it with an anti-pagan/pro-Christian message. This idea could've made Insomniac literally billions.
They'll always be too pussy to make the fun ideas. Killing arab/egyptian/aztec/hindu gods would make things interesting. "GANESHA YOU FAT CUNT!"
they'll never do it because only white people can be the enemy even if they're fictional gods
 
There is one non-tendo example. GTA V wouldn't run on base, non-hard drived 360s. Granted, that was a model that hadn't been sold in years and a game released in the last year of the console's life. It was also the biggest game of all time and could easily swing its dick around.
Clarification, you could not play GTA V on a 360 without a hard/flash drive containing at least 8GB. Your wording makes it sound like a compatibility issue with the various 360 SKUs. It's a space requirement that any 360 could handle.

Killed off almost a decade ago.
That thing that was mildly relevant to Microsoft over 15 years ago?
No physical game support.
???

Not a Microsoft-specific issue.
Tons of titles not backwards compatible.
Tons more support for backwards compatibility than Switch and PS5.
Emphasis on 'Gamepass' and removing ownership from players.
Optional.
Lack of official wired controllers.
And? Same goes for Switch and PS5. And just like with those, you can plug in a cable to make it wired.
Overspending on dead and dying studios.
Sure, but that doesn’t make the console itself worse.
Starfield being the premier game of this generation.
Not a Microsoft-specific issue.

That’s Playstation.

I’m not even trying to be a Microsoft shill, but at least try not to pull nearly every single point out of your ass.
 
No, the browser comes with a memory expansion that uses the GBA slot, there isn't actually a GBA browser. I don't think anything else used it.

Oh, I misread your post. I remember this thing, never used it but it's neat. PSP sure was a leap ahead of DS, it had a perfectly functional browser built-in, I recall it being even better than the 3DS', which was unusable even by my own low standards.

He was fairly clear, but it's interesting to know the exact GB necessary I guess.

Random, but was 360 the last system to support traditional memory cards? I never had an XBO, but I can't imagine they kept the slot around just so people could use its backwards compatibility with their old save files.

It is unless you count the Wii supporting GC Memory Cards for GC games or the PS3 having the Memory Card Adapter accessory to read/write to PS1/PS2 memory cards.
 
That did not kill the Xbox brand. They just backed the wrong media back then.

He's referring to this leaked Series X concept from MS.

That's a rights issue not exclusive to MS. If you want full backwards compatibility, you'd need to have previous console infrastructure built into the new system. The Wii could do that because it's not too far off from a GameCube. The 360 itself achieved BC through emulation. Even so, not every title could be compatible for a number of reasons.

MS is better with BC than Sony. They don't have you buy PS2 titles TWICE if you bought it for the PS3.

You can plug in your One/Series controller to MAKE it wired.

It would say so in the back of the box.

Interesting, didn't know PS3 had an adaptor like that. I guess I'd still count 360 as the last, since the cards were intended for the system's contemporary library by default.
