Xbox studios don't make games anyways so letting them go is probably a better idea than paying thousands of employees for nothing. Nobody does Souls games right. That is true. Except of course From Soft, who eveybody tries to copy. I have not yet once been tempted by a single souls game not made by FromSoft. Do we really need several Souls games per year which we know will always be inferior? I prefer to get a quality title from the genres original studio every couple years (And they didn't miss with this years fantastic DLC again), and spend the rest of my time on some other good stuff like indies or Nintendo games or, wait for it..... Books! My want to play and read backlog is so crowded anyways, I could feed on it the rest of my life. I finished bloody ZELDA 1 on NES this year.. And for some happy reason, I am imune to FOMO sickness. Regarding SONY. We're now at a point where people buy a console with no games for hundreds of $$$ (let's not even mention that 700$ scam called a PS5 Pro) just to then waste the rest of their money on real life cosmetics for that brick and it's controller in order to compensate for the lack of exclusives... And then play shitty sports games and pew pews on it. What a waste of time. I always wonder what that even means to them when somebody says "Next Gen". Do we buy consoles for tech demos that never transition into real games? What have the XBox series X and PS5 done with their next gen tech in regards of games when you compare them to every other era that came before? Every console from SONY and MS before these two brought us hundreds of titles to enjoy. Maybe less on XBox One, but they have been declining for some time now. I didn't even play Nintendo consoles a lot before that even if I bought every available platform. Mostly because they had less RPG's and racing games. But now.. It's like we're back to the mid 80's where Nintendo doesn't even have a competition to fight against and is selling the Switch so much its going to dethrone the PS2 in numbers of sales. It makes me mad to see all those SONY IP's locked away and rotting.. It makes me angry to see MS buy studios and cannibalise them before closing them down.
@@TrynePlague bruh come on the podcast hahaha you have a lot of great takes. I will say this, taking the souls genre and trying to copy just never works. Lies of P was a great game but even still it falls short. I will say a game like Nioh that kind of does their own thing, I like. However there r too many clones that just can’t do it right. I agree with your take on Xbox. They should probably just leave the console wars at this point. It really irks me that people pay all that money for consoles just to play madden and cod. Ridiculous. Look man I appreciate the comment and the time you took to talk about all these. You really have a great and introspective perspective on this industry. We read this and we’re really impressed
@@TrynePlague MS should be ashamed for what they do to these studios. You already know they just make them an offer they can’t refuse yet Sony still destroys them even without the acquisitions
@@WillGame4NoobsPodcast Ahah, I'm way too angry a person to be on a Podcast I think. I'd piss off every single person with my takes. Nioh and Nioh 2 are great! But that's because they try something else. The fusion of Souls and Looter Hack'n'Slash genres is nearly perfect. Divinity II did something similar a long time ago.
@@WillGame4NoobsPodcast I swear, the only reason MS keeps buying studios is to avoid SONY doing it first. And I am pretty sure SONY didn't even think about it because they're too busy having a nap for the last few years. It's like watching two 95 year olds trying to have a fight in a retirement center.
@@TrynePlague divinity 2 really blew my mind when I played it after pillars of eternity. Hey man there’s tons of angry people on podcasts 😂 any controversy is good controversy
