I know, but I'll be playing it tomorrow on PC. Would have preferred to play it on Gamepass, but oh well

doubt it, PS5 is the fastest selling console ever and they are barely even available. Doubt they leave that much money on the table.

It’s wild that people are gonna push this narrative for the next 5 or 6 years until it finally comes out an Xbox exclusive.

Bethesda Game Studios is a Microsoft first party now. The reason Elder Scrolls won’t be on PlayStation is the same reason Starfield isn’t on PlayStation, Halo isn’t on PlayStation, The Last of Us isn’t on Xbox, Zelda isn’t on Xbox, etc. etc.

Still doubt it. It might be a year later or so but no way Microsoft leaves that cash cow unless they are stupid. Starfield will eventually hit PS too.

You can doubt it all you like but when the guy who broke Starfield as an exclusive says this:

I tend to give it some legs...

I think we could easily see this changing.

Right now Gamepass is growing and making Microsoft a lot of money, but that growth will slow at some point.

When you see that growth slow is when you will see some of those Bethesda games hit Playstation, especially if there are subscription/dlc elements where the title will make substantially more money with a bigger install base.

100% the title will start as exclusives but there could be a lot of money in the future that they might not want to leave on the table.

Or, they see the long term benefits and continued growth of the Xbox platform as the more important play, and exclusive games are the best way to drive sales.

Does it matter anyway? I'm a huge fan of Elder Scrolls and it's going to be one a very few day 1 purchases for me, but we all know it's going to be a broken mess on release

The only way to play it at first is going to be on PC once modders start fixing it

Microsoft also said they would never sell the Xbox One without the Kinect

they are a software company...its an opinion but these games are coming out on PS5 IMO


This is not a fanboy stance I am a heavy Xbox user...check my gamertag its the same as my username here

Fixed your post.

PC is the only way to go and it'll still probably take a year or two. Plus add another 1-2 years for the console version.

Maybe.

Welllll, you say that, but turns out they've included reallllly aggressive anti-piracy software that is basically spyware. It's also causing massive performance issues even with high end computers

Although there can certainly be issues with the game even after getting out of beta, it's still quite the impressive game and they'll continue to work on it. Lots of talk of 'Pavlov's House' in the podcast!
Hell Let Loose popped up in my Steam recommendations.. Is it worth it fellas?

I'd say 'hell yeah!', but it depends on what you're into. It's not as hardcore as squad but in order to succeed you'll need a good mic for teamwork, though you don't have to be that involved if you don't want to. And there is no tutorial lol but many vids on youtube to help beginners.



Here's an example of a squad leader, so he has to communicate a lot / talks a bunch because he's streaming. Other roles require listening more than speaking. But knowing where the danger lies is critical.. if you try to be a hero you'll get waxed for sure

Edit, more up to date review here:

I am about 2 hours in to deathloop and it is pretty fun!

The reviews sold for me and I got it day one. Since Rachet, I need something to play and glad this game is as fun and good to satisfy that itch.

I didn't realise until recently that Death Loop was made by the same people who did Dishonored. Anyone play both and have opinions? I had no interest in Death Loop until I learned that, now I'm at least curious.

I discovered that Cookie Clicker was on steam with a bunch of new stuff since I last played it with cloud saves, so I decided to give it a shot while bored at work. As it is now day 2 with it running constantly and my mind is consumed with cookie math, that may have been a mistake

Lol yeah, those games are great at making me not get any work done. I think the paper clip one was the last one I played.

All that I have read and heard about Death Loop is that it is 100% through and through an Arkane Studios game. So I wouldn't be surprised if you enjoyed it.

Curious on this too.


Anyone got the BETA/Stress Test, of Age of Empires 4? Pretty fun, and looks really promising for the full release in a months time.

Gas Station Simulator is lots of fun especially if you've already play Car Mechanic Simulator.
