The way those retards talk about companies like greedy weasels shouldn't surprise me, but it does creep me out. "An opportunity just dropped on our lap!" and all that shit sounds like the way people talk when making fun of business men.

Stereotypes, corporate speak, pencil-fucking, and such things exist for a reason. Dude I worked with in a casino was so hardcore into it, he never had a problem, he had opportunities... and it was really fucking weird getting a phone call and him telling me "We have an opportunity!" Nigger what? The only opportunity when the credit card devices go down is the opportunity to break out the old-school carbon paper card sliders or lose money. Stop sounding like a fucking corporate drone.
 
I'm just here waiting for an industry crash......

In all seriousness I haven't played a single modern AAA title since millenial trannies took over the industry in the 2010's.
 
Niggers remastering Fallout 3 instead of New Vegas, I'm about to sneed.
Arguably Fallout 3 'needs' a remaster more than New Vegas. Fallout 3 runs like shit on my computers and crashes regularly even with bug fixing patches. New Vegas meanwhile runs very well for what it is, with only the community bug fix installed.

Is that why they're remastering it? Of course not, but Im trying to find the silver lining.

Plus none of them seem to think about whether they'd be even allowed by the FTC etc. to buy these companies. They're having trouble with Activision - there's no way they'd be allowed to buy Nintendo or Valve. You'd think.
 
>American multi conglomerate thinking the japanese government will let them take one of their biggest cultural influences away from them
lol
lmao even

It needs a remaster in the sense that it needs better writers and game designers, but they're not gonna do that. Instead, they will outsource graphics to Indians to make 100,000-polygon sandwiches.
 
How naive do the heads of Microsoft/Xbox have to be to think that Value and Nintendo can just be bought. Value is in such a good situation, so why even fuck with that and Nintendo, well that's the obvious no. Seems like another case of money talks, and bullshit walks.

The FO3 remake and ES6 during the same year? I don't know. If that's to happen, FO3 remake will just be assets flipped from FO76 and ES6, I just don't believe. Doom Eternal getting new DLC is cool but I liked the first game more than this last one.

The Xbox Alexa is :story: :story: Wow.
 
The sad part is that this isn't even the first time HexBox tried to buy Nintendo, they tried to do this shit back in 2000 and got laughed out of the room:

(Also LMFAO at Nintendo's hardware always being worse than the competition. The SNES for the most part was more powerful than the Genesis, the N64 was more powerful than the PS1, and the GameCube would eventually be more powerful than the PS2, their only issue was they kept hampering themselves by using smaller storage mediums for games)
 
The only thing that exists inside the head of that obese retard Phill Spencer is the idea of buying companies. He doesn't know what to do with them, they are all incredibly unproductive, but he still wants to buy everything.

That's the only strategy this moron has.

They bought Activision because fucking King. They are still trying to get into Mobile shit. My sides.
 
I don't know what's crazier: that Bethesda thought they could actually have that release schedule, with all those games out by FY2024, or the idea that Nintendo or Valve would allow themselves to be bought out by anyone, especially Microsoft.
 
Who the fuck was negotiating for Microsoft in 2000? You don't invite a possible business venture partner over, tell them their shit sucks, then try to sell them your solution. There's a lot of problems with Japanese culture and shit; but anyone with common fucking sense should know not to insult your guest. And yes, that's what they are, you invited them over for a talk, then spat in their face, and tried to sell them your handkerchief to wipe themselves off. I'm glad they fucking laughed at you; I hope their lead council at that meeting sent a Katana to Microsoft's lead council with a note that read "There's only one way to retain your honor."

I'm also willing to say, with how desperate Microsoft is looking to buy up as much as possible, they're looking scared. It's one thing to buy out / starve out the competition, but these optics make it look like you're struggling to survive, and I'm not saying you are, but you look weak, and I wouldn't sell myself to a weak master.
 
So let me get this straight, Xbox has had the biggest gaming leak in history not from any l33t dark web hacker group or pissed-off jaded employee, but because they are just massive retards instead?

:story: :story: :story:

Such corporate negging is sometimes used to get a sale price down. The problem of course is it doesn't even work in the West most times.
 
There's something really funny about American corpos jerking themselves off to the concept of "opportunities" while nuking their companies line of credit on acquisitions that go nowhere after Microsoft restructures all the talent out of their new slaves and forces ESG scores on them, basically gelding them
 
What's the point of a no-disc Xbox Series X, though? Other than more storage, I see no advantages whatsoever. You may as well just get a Series S for half the price.
Digital Series X is a massive no for me. Most of my Xbox games are physical 360 and Xbox One titles and if I were to ever upgrade (which I have no interest in doing to be honest) I would not choose a console where I would lose most of my access to my library.
It's a small miracle that both Microsoft and Sony didn't go discless at the beginning of the gen, since they clearly want to. They must have needed to ensure that they can do business in regions that still have bad Internet connectivity. That will be less of a problem around 2028 or whenever they launch a completely new generation. They could offer an external disc drive that connects to the refreshed Xbox Series X by USB.

These days, games are bloating to above 100 GB, and most of them are "shipping" broken and being fixed later. And of course, they want to sell you things you don't actually own and push the lucrative subscription model.

Optical discs as a consumer format are on the decline. Xbox Series X and PS5 do function as Ultra HD Blu-ray players, for what that's worth. It doesn't look like there will be a big industry push to release 8K movies on discs. It's technically possible, and the industry could release 8K movies and big games on larger 300 GB to 1 TB Blu-ray discs if they really wanted to. They would prefer streaming services and digital distribution with DRM up the wazoo.

The larger SSDs in these refresh consoles are the least they can do, since SSD costs have plummeted in the last couple of years. You pay as little as $30/TB, they pay less. They will also move the chips from TSMC's N7 (7nm) process node to TSMC N6, which requires no expensive redesigns and lowers power consumption a little. -15% according to Microsoft. Reducing the power consumption allows the conslows to be made smaller and cheaper. I want to hear their explanation for the dumb trash can design.
