Two days later when Sony gives old games:

God Xbox threads just keep delivering.

I didn't even know Octopath Traveler was coming to other consoles this is great news.

I think its just GamePass. Microsoft paid for the port so doesn't look like its coming to PS4 or PS5

I thought Nintendo was involved in the development, how is this possible?

Nintendo publishes Team Asano's games as first party titles in the West, and they get timed exclusivity in return. After that SE is free to do what they want with the game (at least that's what I'd guess, maybe Nintendo has a clause that says the games can't go to PlayStation platforms.)

Octopath Traveller on Xbox wtf. I literally never thought I'd see this game as I got rid of my gaming PC and haven't bought a Nintendo device since a drunken and regretful Wii purchase. Very cool.

Source on MS paying for the port? Big get if true.

If something is coming to GamePass then Microsoft is paying for it. Square won't be paid directly by people playing the game, and they won't have ported it to Xbox without getting a financial benefit from it.

Octopath is garbage sadly

Perfectly fine opinion to hold, but the vast majority disagree given the critical response and user review average.

It has no mainstory. It is just 8 different sidestories. Some of them are decent and some of them are boring.

Ok. How does that change the fact that it’s enjoyed by a lot of people?

 

[CrustyBritches]

I'm looking forward to playing Octopath. I tried it a little on Yuzu, but this is a much better way to play.

Yeah because JRPG stories are totally hype right?

 

[fighterman101]

These games suck. Microsoft needs to do a better job or game pass will flop hard. We want AAA bangers Microsoft.

Spoiler: spoiler

You fell for my bait, didn't you neogaf.

 

[Pallas]

Is this part of that partnership between Microsoft and Nintendo? I can’t find any mention of a PlayStation release yet.

 

[Edokataki]

I guess so, it is frustrating and short sighted.

What are you talking about, isn't Sony putting every month new good games at ps plus? Giving free games because of Corona even if you don't have ps plus? Or it doesn't count because they are old games but if these old games come to gamepass is like new release ehh? And the comming 3 months you have BRAND new games each month but apparently they don't do anything, why you don't tell us what more you wanted them to do?

 

[Edokataki]

Ain’t gonna lie I might gotta pick up a series X soon. I haven’t had much to play on ps5 and I don’t really care much for most of Sony’s exclusives.

Just wow, the lie of the decade. There are two consoles one more powerful from the other at the same price, one has a service that you like and the other no and one console has some exclusive games that you don't like that much and you end up buying the console that is weaker, does not have the service you like and has games you are not interested? Something does not add up, either you are complete Id...t or selling propaganda.

Maybe he got a PS, because most of his friends got one? Maybe he bought many digital games last gen and didn't want to leave the ecosystem?

Or simply he just saw an opportunity to say that he will buy an Xbox because he does not like PS5 he has already. He find the moment and he tries to sell like a salesman would do. I want to buy this summer an Xbox series s because gamepass will allow me to play some games with better loading times (what is bothering me mostly) without spending much money and if I am better financially next year I will buy a playstation also. I enjoy playing games from time to time and unfortunately I don't have enough time to play more so I have Xbox one and subscribe to game pass when I want to play something interesting without paying much. But I dont work for Microsoft to advertise their business with blatant lies, I have playstation and I bought it because I don't like their exclusives, give me a brake.

Well, i'm gonna buy a PS5 although i don't like a single one of their Netflix 3rd person action adventures. Why? Affordable VR. I don't ge why you are so agressive towards that guy and call him a liar. There are reasons to get a PS even though you don't like their exclusives.

That is good a good reason to buy a device because it has a future that you like or want to try even if you don't like their games at the moment. But you did not clame to have something because you don't like it and want to buy another device. I just don't like this new trend like cancel culture or everything is racists or we have to sell Xbox to everyone no matter what. I love my machine, I love comming from work at 23:00 after 11hours of work and play little bit when everyone is sleeping so I can enjoy one hour in peace my hobby. But please you can see everyone is acting like they have to sell Xbox no matter what, just enjoy your platform of choice and don't shit on others. About why I call him a lier, yes maybe it is not correct but when he start his sentence I am not lying I want Xbox because playstation sucks for me it seems like I blatant lie and attempt to sell a product.
