I'm glad that the Xbox community are prepared to stand up and speak out on the companies Shitehousery and hold them too the fire. It was people like Jez, Colt Eastwood, and Rand al Thor 19 got the attempt to double price of XBG reversed. They spoke out and made so much of a commotion that the increase caused so much bad publicity that Xbox had to reverse it.Xbox LATAM apparently taking consoles away from outlets in Brazil which reported on the Series S price increase: https://www.resetera.com/threads/xb...-series-price-increase-in-the-country.780320/

It's just a shame that other console communities don't hold their console providers to the same standards.Love ads!
I was wondering how long it would take for that comment to backfire.It's just a shame that other console communities don't hold their console providers to the same standards.
If you are so easily offended that an add triggers you I leave you alone.It's just a shame that other console communities don't hold their console providers to the same standards.

Longer than I thought.

Making devs redundant so you can claim their shares not a peep out of any of you but an add on the dash board oh the horror.
Exactly. The perspective of some people. Fancy a company advertising there new shiny purchase. The nerve of them.
You mean the company that cut 10,000 jobs back in January, including an unspecified number across the games division including 343 Industries and Bethesda Game Studios, in the same year they found a cool 70 billion dollars to acquire another publisher?Exactly. The perspective of some people. Fancy a company advertising there new shiny purchase. The nerve of them.
All the creators that I mentioned spoke out about it. Jez even brought it up on a podcast yesterday. I'm not saying that Xbox don't do it, just that you here from the community when they do but not when anybody else does.You mean the company that cut 10,000 jobs back in January, including an unspecified number across the games division including 343 Industries and Bethesda Game Studios, in the same year they found a cool 70 billion dollars to acquire another publisher?
Perspective huh.
I don't find it a very interesting thing to comment on, as companies are all shitty. All of them chase growth and all of them will take shitty decisions to achieve it. Across the entire gaming industry, 6000+ jobs were lost this year. It's been a shit show all around. You just won't see me trying to claim one company is better than the other. They're all as bad as each other.All the creators that I mentioned spoke out about it. Jez even brought it up on a podcast yesterday.

BTW the 10 000 was across Microsoft not just Xbox. It's funny how to two are interchanged to make the company look worse, depending on the circumstance.
The point is that even Xbox advertising their new game gets ripped apart on here like it's a massive crime. whatever the other side does only gets brought up if it's positive. Look back to when MS made the lay offs, I know there was a pile on then. The other side do it crickets.I don't find it a very interesting thing to comment on, as companies are all shitty.

That last part, I specifically mentioned it was 10,000 of which an unspecified number was across the gaming divisions. That's not misleading to make it look worse, that's literally the only information we have. If they had specified the number for Xbox studios, I would've used that.
As I just said I find the whole thing hilarious.I used to think people were being ironic with the console wars battle; turns out there are at least two fully grown adults in here that are fully engaged in an argument you only hear in primary school playgrounds.
Right on cue.As I just said I find the whole thing hilarious.
It's always funny when people turn to insults when they have no come back and think they are the one being the adult.

The main take away is I can't believe that people think Xbox advertising their new purchase is so egregious. It tickles me that everybody thought this was a massive win.
It’s very lame how much people think about it. And there’s a bunch on here that still think bantering them in the actual console war thread because of how oddly passionate they were was everyone else being serious about it.I used to think people were being ironic with the console wars battle; turns out there are at least two fully grown adults in here that are fully engaged in an argument you only hear in primary school playgrounds.
Off course.Slight overreaction?
Dont worry we all know you and Damo are harmless reallyI used to think people were being ironic with the console wars battle; turns out there are at least two fully grown adults in here that are fully engaged in an argument you only hear in primary school playgrounds.
I'm probably grabbing it in the next week or so. It looks amazing.Calm down kids. Maybe take your minds off it by, I dunno, playing games instead?
Alan Wake 2 is being criminally overlooked on the caf, maybe try that for a start.
I feel like i should play the first one before i pick it up. Maybe play the control dlc. Looks great though.Calm down kids. Maybe take your minds off it by, I dunno, playing games instead?

The first was a great game and one of my favourites but I heard this one isn't a console exclusive so there's really no point playing it.Calm down kids. Maybe take your minds off it by, I dunno, playing games instead?

It does look good.Calm down kids. Maybe take your minds off it by, I dunno, playing games instead?

I think it's more that people just can't keep up with the games. This year has been insane, at least on paper (I'm always a couple of years behind, trying to play catch up).Calm down kids. Maybe take your minds off it by, I dunno, playing games instead?

Yeah I loved Control and really want to play this. I haven't even played the first so want to do the remaster of that but feck knows when I'll have time.I think it's more that people just can't keep up with the games. This year has been insane, at least on paper (I'm always a couple of years behind, trying to play catch up).
AW2 is on the Xbox you know. So it's relevant.Is this now the random gaming chat thread?
I'm really enjoying it, I want to to Skylines too but have just got into Satisfactory so there's no way my brain is going to handle two games like that at onceIt does look good.
I want to put some time into City Skylines 2 see if it lives up to the original, but I'm watching F1 Quali then heading out tonight.
It has been a great one!I think it's more that people just can't keep up with the games. This year has been insane, at least on paper (I'm always a couple of years behind, trying to play catch up).
The first one people call "clunky" but I actually thought the combat suited the game and setting. It's a great story/setting though, and so far the sequel is doing it justice. The Control DLC was okay, but made some misteps.I feel like i should play the first one before i pick it up. Maybe play the control dlc. Looks great though.
I did that back to back with The Darkness after a Blockbusters sale. Absolutely brilliant gaming times.The first was a great game and one of my favourites but I heard this one isn't a console exclusive so there's really no point playing it.
It's very good so far, and graphically has taken over Cyberpunk. It's so well done, no wonder it took so long. The fact "Sam Lake" has injected himself into the game so heavily with his weird faces makes it so much better too, it's like Max Payne is back and your sidekickI'm probably grabbing it in the next week or so. It looks amazing.
It’s on everythingAW2 is on the Xbox you know. So it's relevant.
Another mystery solved!It’s on everything
My comment wasn’t aimed at you. It’s the passive aggressive attempts at ‘subtle’ digs about Xbox and the less than subtle weirdos. It’s very odd behaviour for adults.I don't know how I was even supposed to be console-warring when in my first post in this discussion I accused Xbox of Shitehousery.
Any how enjoy the rest of your days guys.
Okay cool.My comment wasn’t aimed at you. It’s the passive aggressive attempts at ‘subtle’ digs ant Xbox and the less than subtle weirdos. It’s very odd behaviour for adults.
