I own both Xbox and PS5 because I’m not a poor loser. I also don’t own a PC because I’m poor. Still not a loser though.
I think this is mostly problem with the gamers. If any game’s meta score is not 90+ is considered “mediocre” which is beyond fucking idiotic.We over hype mediocre games,
Certain types of people annoy me.Why is your identity tied to which plastic box you decided to buy though? And continuing to do it even when they are doing terribly by your own admission?
I’ll just never get it.

Most of the time is not about money and more about the time. I only own PS5 and Switch and still very hard too keep up with amount of games coming out.I own both Xbox and PS5 because I’m not a poor loser. I also don’t own a PC because I’m poor. Still not a loser though.

When we kids we all the time in world but lacked the money now we have the money not the time to play all games that coming out.
Because 60/100 and 90/100 game costs exactly the same. The industry is deaf to the need of $30-40 AA games.I think this is mostly problem with the gamers. If any game’s meta score is not 90+ is considered “mediocre” which is beyond fucking idiotic.
Is that part of "console wars", though? A response to what a competitor is doing is fine.Right after the PlayStation showcase.

Fiat doesn’t sell for the same price as BMW even though both have 4 wheels and a steering wheel.
You guys put waaaaaaay too much value in scores, games can score 10/10 its no guarantee its gonna be worth my money while there games score 6/10 that I had fucking blast playing and worth every penny.Because 60/100 and 90/100 game costs exactly the same.

It makes my skin crawl when anyone uses the word "win" in anything console that's comparisons and sales etc. Must be real losers in real life.I'll never understand people wanting consoles to "win". We need healthy competition in this space to keep everyone honest and get us - the customer - the best deals the market can provide. When Microsoft thought they'd "won", that's when they dreamt up the Xbone's DRM non-sense. When Sony thought they'd "won", that's when we got the PS3 - and I'd argue Ryan thinks he's won today, so we're getting unjustifiable price increases. Competition is a good thing.

If you are not sure you have a hit on your hands scale your budget accordingly, especially since your bonus depends on Metacritic score.A *huge majority* of AAA games review less than 90, even less than 80 and can't / won't be priced for $30, $40.
But if you don’t know if you will enjoy it you look at review consensus.Also I dont give rat ass if the game AA or AAAAA if I enjoyed it then worth full price, very simple.

That's not console wars. Developers don't give a shit about console wars (I work in the industry), it's something players do. But I think is inevitable, it's something human. We always have done it for sports, religion, politics, whatever thing. So I think it's something we need to accept as part of this hobby.Right after the PlayStation showcase.
Well said and very true.You guys put waaaaaaay too much value in scores, games can score 10/10 its no guarantee its gonna be worth my money while there games score 6/10 that I had fucking blast playing and worth every penny.

In my case I perceive Sony as the brand that fuels more the console wars. Nintendo as neutral, and Xbox, thanks to Phil Spencer, as the most friendly. But, as usual for humans, this perception will vary depending or your personal tastes. So a Sony user always will perceive Sony as the good one and Microsoft as the Evil. The opposite the same.
I have the three consoles by the way.
Wait what? Microsoft, the prime example of astroturfing, doesn't need warring fans?It's not so much going to war for your console, MS don't need me to help them. They just want my money.
It's not that I love Xbox, it's that when people talk shit, I might call it out. It just so happens that I have an Xbox and know what they say isn't true.

It goes like this. Some people will say "Starfield is mid because it didn't get 90+ Meta". I know that's stupid and then will comment saying "GOT, Horizon and Spider-Man must be mid then as well because they wernt 90+". A couple of other people then reply to you with something and you reply and there you go.

90% of the time I know I’m going to enjoy the game long before the review comes out, do you think I need review tell me I’m gonna enjoy AC6 or not? I preordered that game when they first announced the game.But if you don’t know if you will enjoy it you look at review consensus.
I enjoy AC as well, but I’m not going to buy 20th entry if it’s the same - material fatigue and all that. So I wait for reviews to know if they really innovated this time around.90% of the time I know I’m going to enjoy the game long before the review comes out, do you think I need review tell me I’m gonna enjoy AC6 or not?

If you played games long enough know your taste what you enjoy, you rarely need reviews.
So, you have a PS5?Do you think Phil Spencer actually is friendly and sincere though? It's just a contrived act, we know what Microsoft's executives are like when the cameras aren't rolling.
So, you have a PS5?

Yes, it sounded better in my headNo (I am missing the point of your post, maybe it's intended to be humorous?)
I guess I just trust my own taste over other reviewers. At end of the day reviews are noting more than other person’s opinion and taste.I enjoy AC as well, but I’m not going to buy 20th entry if it’s the same - material fatigue and all that. So I wait for reviews to know if they really innovated this time around.
Of course this comes with a problem of some reviewers factoring the past entries into the score (similar to Starfield being “Skyrim with guns”), others don’t.

I remember when us Spectrum fans in school made fun of the sole C64 owner and called him 'Billy no mates' LOL.
Those were the days, we would go to school and be able to swap loads of ZX Spectrum games and poor Martin was the only kid at my school with a C64 and couldn't swap his games. So he was given the nickname Billy No mate's
You've just acted like a fanboy and the point the XBox PR was trying to counter for added irony.I'm sure this has nothing to do with them getting absolutely destroyed in sales by Sony and Nintendo, their big titles underdelivering and Gamepass going to shit over the past 12-18 months.
If my IRL friends didn't play on Xbox I'd rarely turn on my XSX outside of the odd time every few months that something actually interesting shows up on Gamepass.
