No man. When you start calling the other guy names, that's when you lose the argument battle and feel the need to resort to petty insults.

Plus, it's rude. Especially when the other guy hasn't insulted you in kind.

that is not how I see it in this circumstance I am afraid. I have seen that guy operate in other threads, in fact I recall once telling myself to stay well clear of him of seeing the way he operates.

normal joe blogs that come in and starts a conversation, then fair enough.

Someone who comes in with the intent to bait. No

I am tired of seeing the same bullshit unfold day after day here.

i saw it with sleep doctor, eastwood, dynamite cop, the list grows.

sorry if u feel offended by my remarks, you can report me if you think I have crossed the line. i won't mind.

 

[THE:MILKMAN]

I'll bet Sony will stay silent. As champions this gen, they should. They will say something when its time

I think this will be right simply because sadly these days Sony don't have anyone publicly facing that seems to like engaging with the community (Even Sid Shuman is hardly ever heard from or seen!). I hope they do something

Sony have been very smart and shown their experience during the Covid-19 disruption. Not confirming or committing to dates for launch games but still being confident in saying at their investor/financial meetings they don't expect any issues or delays for launch. After all most of their own games this gen had various delays. They learnt the lesson the hard way.

Did it ever occur to you that every time he sees us making fun of Series X he feels baited himself?

he came to this thread of his own free will, did he come into discuss something, no he went on the offensive calling people children because he did not like the reaction halo was getting.

You need to be a simpleton to think that halo getting canceled is not going to have some blowback from sony fans.
He knew this and he came here anyway.
How is it suddenly my responsibility for the way he feels?

Your conversation with Nick doesn't half read like the aftermath of an intervention gone terribly wrong.

 

[JonnyMP3]

And yet he makes boasts and claims that he's PC and not bothered by Xbox... When clearly he is bothered and calls people out for being in a 'Cult' meaning he's full of shit. And if someone's full of shit... I won't respect them.

Edit: Well if he feels baited because of others mocking the Series X... The issue isn't with us at all.
The issues and problems with him all lie with him. Getting defensive over a plastic box and yet we have to somehow be extra mature and considerate?

 

[Gediminas]

Thank you for proving my point so impressive like, same with many of you. Keep upping my reputation score with the smilies.
Fact is you have had it your own way for too long in this thread, and someone comes in and give you differing virewpoints, and you all look at each other with a 'urgh what do we do now?' face.
And the thing is, you know i'm right about this thread due to the amount of times its been locked and mods have issued warnings.
Anyway goodnight, and enjoy.

different viewpoint? xboys spread the FUD here and derailed this thread for hundred of pages. stop acting like a victim.

 

[IntentionalPun]

Not really seeing that to be honest (been pretty mild) but certainly no more childish than say some of the Xbox tweets lately.

Let's see if any Sony people rub it in on Twitter or stay silent.

Thing about twitter is I don't use it lol

You're not responsible for the way he feels, but you're responsible for the way you address him. But I think we've stretched that topic far too wide. We each made our case.

 

[mckmas8808]

I'm really hoping MS gets on their grind and turn things around. The last thing I want is for arrogant Sony to come back.

 

[Killer Sakoman]

You think Phil will keep his job this gen?

I don't think he will make it to Q1 2021.
The launch looks like a disaster. Many reports talk about PS5 production. Sony increased PS5 production 3 million units more by March. No report about xbox production suggesting no significant production.

 

[JTCx]

I think at the end of the day a person who comes looking for a fight deserves what he gets.

i went to the halo thread made one post, something like the delay is good, the game will get polished.

That was support for the normal gamers, normal fans.

He came in here with a bone to pick.

no other reason

I mean...dude likes ass creed...enough said

LMFAO

 

[Nickolaidas]

Holy shit ... you're right! Phil Spencer is purposefully screwing up again and again in order to lull Sony into arrogance and lower their defenses ... THEN GO FOR THE KILL!!!

A masterstroke, if there ever was one.

All I know, is this.

this thread was humming along all fine and Dandy. No issues, no bad blood, zip nadda.

The mood totally changes by someone entering it, trying to derail it, he succeeds.

I tell said interloper to fuck a duck.

Now I am the Antichrist.

I think I am done for the night.

fuck this 35 degree heat at 11 o'clock at night.

Tbh they could just delay launch to 2023 when moat their games would show up. I cant see any reason to choose platform with nothing extra to play.

Dude, c'mon. All I said (to Johnny actually, not you) was not to call the guy a cunt. No one's calling anyone the anti-christ.

seems like the pricing of next gen is not this month.

You’re not wrong, but just don’t get banned or the thread closed. It’s more fun to keep the thread open and you in it. Maybe just ignore the guy at some point, idk.

Kinda liked the title, fs

Why are Sony games seemingly unaffected by this?

Or am I opening my big mouth too soon?

 

[Reficul]

Pure gold.

 

[Grodiak]

Heya everyone. Seems like heated as ever around here Been gone for a minute but had to curve back to see how people are taking the Halo Infinite delay. I mean - it wasn't the largest of shockers... even though it was an "old build". MS in deeper waters now without a heavy-hitting launch title.

 

[Mr Moose]

Did it ever occur to you that every time he sees us making fun of Series X he feels baited himself?

Why would he? He's a PC gamer

 

[MasterCornholio]

Guys when we try not to get this thread locked?

Pretty soon people are just going to down the report button and thats what the mods will do.

Let's try and keep the petty bickering out of this. I know it's hard but we have to at least try.

 

[JonnyMP3]

Dude, c'mon. All I said (to Johnny actually, not you) was not to call the guy a cunt. No one's calling anyone the anti-christ.

Honestly... If a person stops acting like one... I'll stop calling them one!
I call a spade, a spade.
But the way he was acting... I called him out for how he was being.
The C word.

 

[SlimySnake]

Not a fan of how Stuart was baited. you call sleep doctor a sociopath then turn around and do the same to all his posts and reply with passive aggressive memes.

if this thread gets locked again, you all wont get any sympathy from me.

 

[Nickolaidas]

Why would he? He's a PC gamer

I was under the impression (especially nowadays) that whether you game on PC or on X-Box, you're a MS supporter. Same thing.

I miss the hype train. We need the PS5 teardown or price ASAP, please Cerny save us

 

[kyliethicc]

Changing topic would you say Cyberpunk has next gen graphics?

On expensive PCs or next gen consoles, sure. Bit worried we haven’t seen it on PS4/XOne yet, might be rough

 

[Moridianae]

MEGA oof.

Just got home from work and see the Halo news. That's...absolutely devastating for Microsoft. But yet, they go back to hinging on playing BC.

That's not what people buy next-gen systems FOR, though it's a nice and robust feature they have.

No wonder they are so coy on price. Going to be REAL hard to justify that tag with no major hitters to show for it.

Here's the kicker--a bungled showcase, a lower powered SKU and ecosystem that developers don't seem keen on, and now the delay of your biggest title for your upcoming system.

Through all that? Sony has basically said NOTHING and next-gen just keeps falling into their lap. I don't know what exclusives they may have lined up, but when those are announced..it'll be

 

[MastaKiiLA]

People get way too emotional about gaming. Just enjoy what you paid for. No one can take away your enjoyment.

 

[yewles1]

Yeah, I like shutting down FUD and delusional fantastical claims from the Xbots... But even I feel bad enough not to kick them when they're down and being hung out to dry by Xbox.

I genuinely feel sad for the gamers who just want their preferred system to have games!
And that Halo thread is full of sadness...

PS3 14 years ago...

 

[Delpij]

I stopped caring about Halo ever since Bungie left, so I might be biased, but considering Microsoft’s platform strategy for this generation, I really think this doesn’t change anything for the battle to come. Not to mention Microsoft is being challenged as the gaming OS, by Proton on Linux.

It’s not a bad call to kill two birds with one stone using Game pass.

At any rate, looks like we’re in for 3 very different experiences from Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo. 128 bits vibes... that ended with one of the console manufacturers disappearing.

 

[BlueXImpulse]

On expensive PCs or next gen consoles, sure. Bit worried we haven’t seen it on PS4/XOne yet, might be rough

It looks good. I wonder if they are using different assets for the PS5/Series X/PC versions.

 

[MasterCornholio]

What's worrying as well are the rumors of the huge timed exclusives as well.

We have to wait and see what happens.

Yeah... That lack of Rumble lol

I absolutely hate the fact I'm not hyped at ALL for this game.

 

[BlueXImpulse]

What makes you not hyped?

 

[Nickolaidas]

What makes you not hyped?

The campaign setting, I guess. It gives me a vibe of Grand Theft Auto with a Cyberpunk flavor on top. Plus, the bestiary is probably going to be all humans/cyborgs, and that gets a hard pass from me.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Shinobi on Xbox "Stuff that was planned for this month pushed to next month."
HeisenbergFX4 what does the bird say?

Birdie knows more about Sony stuff though he had thought we would be getting an Xbox show very soon.

The writing has been on the walls for quite some time this delay was incoming and the reveal was the final blow.

The talk was Xbox was going to have a show pretty early here this month but it seems to have been pushed a whole month back.

Dont blame all this on COVID btw, 343 has been a wreck for awhile.

 

[Andodalf]

Why are Sony games seemingly unaffected by this?

Or am I opening my big mouth too soon?

Did you miss TLOU2 and Iron man and Ghosts all being delayed?

And with only MM looking like a launch title rn, theres no way their didn't hope to have other games ready.

 

[HawarMiran]

Changing topic would you say Cyberpunk has next gen graphics?

Not quite there yet. And the melee combat looks wack

 

[kyliethicc]

The campaign setting, I guess. It gives me a vibe of Grand Theft Auto with a Cyberpunk flavor on top. Plus, the bestiary is probably going to be all humans/cyborgs, and that gets a hard pass from me.

It is literally next-gen GTA 5. (I liked GTA 5 though.) Same 3 protagonists, same big city and desert around it map. except it’s first person, which I don’t like as much as 3rd person. And Witcher 3 combat was the weakest link in that game, so how are they going to make fun FPS combat now? Plus nothing in their showcases has wowed me yet, but it does seem like a cool game.

Just feels like the real version will be next-gen and like in 2 years from now. Witcher 3 changed so much after launch, they even patched in a new way to walk/move in the game, added way more content, etc. I just know the launch version of CyberPunk on PS4 will be the worst way to play it. CyberPunk 2077 in 2022 on PS5 though, that should be worth the wait.

 

[Nickolaidas]

Those stories about 343 being a mess in development are all true, aren't they?

 

[JonnyMP3]

Changing topic would you say Cyberpunk has next gen graphics?

Looking at the video properly through YouTube... I'd honestly say late current gen/early next gen.
Graphically, it looks stupendous.
But I think my mind is stuck on the notion that Next Gen is when we get massive big sprawling worlds like in Horizon Forbidden West or the Unreal demo.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Those stories about 343 being a mess in development are all true, aren't they?

100%

 

[jimbojim]

Did you miss TLOU2 and Iron man and Ghosts all being delayed?

Tlou 2 was already finished then. Delayed from Feb. to May was before Covid appeared globally. GOT was pushed automatically 3 weeks further as TLOU 2 from May to June. GOT date was in June too. They would be so close each other. It doesn't make sense
