Xbox has no other games to play.Complains if game is delayed.
Complains is game is early but with bugs.
Bruh.
Go play something else.
They're one of the very few developers that have a community of gamers that bug fix for them in mod patches. And look forward to doing it.
I’ve played Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Fallout 4.They're one of the very few developers that have a community of gamers that bug fix for them in mod patches. And look forward to doing it.
Even when they repackage Skyrim on every platform for over 10 years, the day one OG release bugs were present in every ported version. Not hating, just stating.
Still looking forward to Starfield though.
Yeah it’s weird. Like when Ninja Theory joined MS, they built that ridiculous GaaS brawler.My big fear about Microsoft taking control of Bethesda was one thing: Arkane Studios. One of my favorite studios... Prey, Dishonored... fucking amazing games. Now they are making a fucking trash ass coop game for Xbox...

Sometimes it's better to not say anything especially when your head of PS. It's like these execs don't live in reality....At least he's not talking about abortion.
Of course it hasn't yet where did all those games they have released come from then?Phil needs to get someone to mange these studios. He is a great help to Xbox but he just is not good at managing projects across the different studios.
Series X/S launched with no games, Halo infinite got delayed and is still struggling to produce new content despite being a live service game and now this.
Xbox has to really lock in on understanding how to manage everything, especially if they plan to keep expanding.
The PS5 hasn’t been the most consistent with new game releases either so this is a big missed opportunity for Xbox to get more market share.

This still hurtsLook what he said about Crackdown 3 for example and how that turned out. It’s stuff like this and on top of everything else that irks me.

Seems obvious but people want to blame Phil and MS for everything right now. MS aren’t to blame for the too optimistic release dates either, Bethesda has a thing for 11 after the success of Skyrim which was released 11.11.11, so that’s why they wanted the 11.11.22 date for Starfield. No idea what’s their plan now to get a ”cool” release date.Didn't they start working on Redfall or whatever WAY before the Microsoft acquisition?

Well yeah that’s how it is. Sony has released more AAA quality 1st party games on PS5 but I still play more games on Xbox Series X.It is funny to imagine though, if Microsoft didn't have Gamepass and were charging full retail for these games, how these constant delays and first party failures would go over with their base.
They can sort of get away with it because, well, most people are getting these games (at least in their minds) for "free".
As if the incompetence is acceptable because the Gamepass deal even in spite of all of this is still so good.
Imagine having a job where you get kicked in the balls by the press, then turn around and get kicked in the balls by the gamers and then turn around and get kicked in the balls by the shareholders.
This can't be a fun place to be.
Based on that tweet, the Xbox Division must really hate their audienceLook what he said about Crackdown 3 for example and how that turned out. It’s stuff like this and on top of everything else that irks me.

In Spencer's defence, Scalebound was a fuck up by PlatinumGames alone. Master Blocker himself confirmed that.Similar sounding apology around the time when Scalebound was cancelled. At this point and with all his apologies sounding so similar, it feels meaningless.

Many of their studios has been working for years on different projects, hopefully they’ll show something in the June event.
One of your favorite studios..yet you're not looking forward to their next release (without even seeing or playing it yet)?
Sounds believable.
I’ll give you that.Yeah it’s weird. Like when Ninja Theory joined MS, they built that ridiculous GaaS brawler.
I'd wager your post isn't going to age well after the 12th, Bethesda are running as they have before Microsoft took over, its just missed its target unfortunately. What about all the games Microsoft shipped last year? Or is that not fitting in with your biased opinion?Phil should control his anger. He has 23 other studios, not all of them are trying to make their first new IP in 20 years. The reality is that all Microsoft’s studios are just struggling at reaching the finish line and just like in 2020 when MS put all eggs in the basket for Halo they learned nothing and did it again in 2022 for Starfield. Bad planning. They need to start having backup plans, always plan 3 big releases every year, spring, summer, fall, at the least.
That was in production before the acquisition dopyMy big fear about Microsoft taking control of Bethesda was one thing: Arkane Studios. One of my favorite studios... Prey, Dishonored... fucking amazing games. Now they are making a fucking trash ass coop game for Xbox...

We'll probably get Forza Motorsport, that Contraband game is another possibility and some third party exclusives as well as smaller first party titles.So in a twist we’ll get Avowed this holiday right????
*cries*
Does xbox have 1st party games though? With steam day1, it no longer has any 1st party games. Its multiplatform 3rd party publisher now.
Xbox has no other games to play.
End of last year was great but launch year was awful and here we are again. There is no consistency. All we’ve seen from Microsoft’s 1st party studios on Xbox Series since launch is Bleeding Edge, Psychonauts 2, FH5 and Halo Infinite. 3/4 games came Q3/Q4 2021. Do we have to wait til 2023 for the next 3 games?I'd wager your post isn't going to age well after the 12th, Bethesda are running as they have before Microsoft took over, its just missed its target unfortunately.

This does feel a bit less Nice Guy Phil than usual… one of the first time where “I want to give devs time to work / release when ready” is met with a stern “but… we expect consistency in output”. A bit threatening…Spencer's tweet reads, "[…] While I fully support giving teams time to release these great games when they are ready, we hear the feedback. Delivering quality and consistency is expected […]"

It’s Bethesda who’re giving their games more time in the oven, and it’s good if it’s needed. Microsoft is mocked for not having anything else there when a delay happens.Xbox shouldn't be mocked an ridiculed for giving their games more time in the oven.
Forza Horizon 5 was awesome but I could’ve waited for Xbox Series Pro tbh, the games output is incredibly inconsistent on Xbox, it’s sad to see when all things seemed to align perfectly before launch.Borderline insulting at this point.
There’s only so many statements a man can make without backing it up.
I fear we’re going to be waiting for Avowed and Fable to be the first great Xbox games of this generation.
