the shadowdrop of HiFi helped the critical reception but hurt the actual sales for sure
So Sony Fanboys make the rules and now they don't like the way the game is being played because of the rules that they made like my father say it's all fun and games until the rabbit gets the gun
definitely disagree with Kendrick Star. Starfield and Halo Infinite are excellent games, let me explain. [slight/vague Starfield spoilers] I'm still finding pivotal new story content in Starfield after multiple NG+ playthroughs (I have 19 NG+ playthroughs and 2 characters). Also if you are in New Game Plus and replay the main story, you can make a unique choice that significantly changes the story. It was mindblowing to me. None of these other games out here gives me what Starfield gives me and for that reason Starfield is my personal game of the generation.
Regarding Halo, before season 2 of Halo Infinite, I had over 10 days of play time already. It was missing some content and had some flaws but I knew that 343i was preparing for bigger things with Forge which is way better than previous Forge modes. Now we see the fruits of that labor with a ton of Forge maps in the public playlists and we see why they needed that time. Infinite is a much larger experience than previous Halo games right now
Casually hit Jayrock with pony alert ๐๐๐
I genuinely liked the discussion at the end. Even tho Im a Bot and like my echo chamber Kendrick Starr was being fair in criticism. These Ponies/Ponybots just being assholes.
Phil Spencer alone was CEO as long as Jack Tretton, Shawn Layden, Jim Ryan and Totoki combined. You wonโt stay that long as an executive by being โsoftโ.
Digital Foundry admitted that the Xbox wins most of the comparisons even with the parity
Guys like Starr are talking about holding Phil accountable for the here & now, which I get. We all know the buck stops with the leader at the top whether itโs the leaderโs fault or not. But we also all know, the leader is often not the reason for every shortcoming. We need to look at the context for every so-called โLโ under Philโs leadership; in fact we have clear explanations for what happened to Redfall. As far as other games that are โLโsโ, most are subjective or were impacted by COVID. We canโt forget about that. When you make as wide variety of games as Xbox does, youโre not gonna please everyone. But youโll have genres to explore and a game for every type of player.
Overall those critical of Philโs leadership are forgetting that Phil & his team are currently navigating a business environment (consisting of the media, casual consumers, and some development houses) that is hostile, or at least extremely critical & cynical, toward Microsoft and the Xbox brand. A lot of that hostility stems from Xbox losing last generation.. As you know, the Xbox One/PS4 generation was the worst to lose because most people transitioned to digital-only ownership for the first time ever; cementing the PlayStation as the preferred platform for the casuals, โinfluencers,โ media, and developers. Couple that with the skyrocketing of social media/virality and โclickbaitโ journalism in the last 10 years or so..
The uphill battle Phil & his team have to navigate with every decision they make is unprecedented. IMO, since Phil took over, I donโt think any first party platform leader has ever had to deal with as many double-standards, as much negative press, & as bad of a residual stigma left over from a previous regime.
That last segment with K. Star was bad. Had to dip out. If I wanted to hear complaints I would listen to Gaz.
Whenever I start to judge Philโs performance I remember that I would probably shit my pants if Satya Nadella asked what I think we should do about anythingโฆ
29:28 lol
I have a massage for xbox guys and alot of y'all folks Phill is not your friend he's a business guy that's all im gonna say.
Phil Spencer made Xbox go from the saying: "Xbox has no games" to "Xbox is a monopoly". How is that killing Xbox? Make it make sense.
Sony pony dont play games, they rather spy on microsoft๐๐
Metacritc is flawed but I think in general the way we look at a 7/10 game is also flawed. 7/10 is a good game. 8/10 is an excellent game. An 8 and up should be considered an excellent game with a 9 and being a masterpiece.
Saying Phil Spencer is soft after he took two major publishers off the market is ridiculous. Bethesda and ABK games will go where Phil Spencer decides, at whatever time frame he decides and how he decides. How is acquiring the publisher your major competitor depends on โsoftโ?
At this point, it is literally impossible for Sony or anyone else to force Xbox out of the industry. They are in a position to exert serious influence over the industry.
Yes, there are issues Xbox needs to hammer out but this idea that Xbox is in a bad position relative to their competitors is nonsense. Xbox is still the second largest store for third party publishers and developers, which is why the vast majority of games come to Xbox despite their lower console sales relative to PlayStation and Nintendo. Nintendo doesnโt have anywhere near the reach or influence on the industry as Xbox. Check out the charts the CMA produced showing which platforms publishers depend on the most, Nintendo barely existed in those charts.
Hey yo how you doing dirt just wanted to let you know that that guy that was trying to steal my account and texting you that dumb s***got me suspended for a year I got my account back but I'm not allowed to talk to anybody for one year LOL
It makes no sense they literally know that somebody was trying to steal my account and you know I went against the ruling of you know suspending me and they said I'm still responsible LOL
Also I'm just about to watch your show I watch Marlon first because I wanted to see if you was going to act like a pony why is nobody talking about the Nvidia deal with Microsoft how their next system is just going to blow the doors off PlayStation pro how is going to be a Sony bloodbath I went off on his channel these ponies getting excited for updated PS4 games LOL love you brother take care
Honestly dirt and Sean it would be really hilarious if you went and clipped what I said on the Marlin gaming channel his last stream like so funny๐ฎ from the comments I mean trust me
I actually agree with Kendrick Star. Iโve made these same points before.
Iโve said it before, Xbox lacks focus. It is unacceptable that XCloud has been around since 2017 and somehow PS Cloud service is superior in almost every aspect including allowing you to play games you purchased outside of PS+.
The Xbox PC Store and Play Anywhere has been around since 2016, how is the Epic Game Store that launched in 2018 in far better shape than the Xbox PC store. I guarantee you when PlayStation PC store launches, theyโre going to have full developer support and most games will be available there.
Now theyโre moving on to a mobile game store. Why?
The only experience that is complete is the Xbox console experience. The rest of the ecosystem theyโre trying to sell us on is fragmented and in serious need of attention and work.
Thatโs poor project management. Xbox also needs to take a page from Apple and do better with branding and making their brand and ecosystem seem like a premium experience.
It takes 26 core days or 43 regular days to climb mount everest and 2and half minute to fall to sea level. Falling is easy and fast but ascending is a different game. Phil has built Xbox into a power house regardless of console sales.He is CEO of gaming not consoles but gaming as a whole his move and job involves gaming on all devices which directs the moves he makes.
Phil said he doesnt have the luxury of not being profitible as XBOX. I think that is a reference to people like Timdog and some other Youtubers who think they have the best strategy to get XBOX back to greatness. As a consumer you should look at what Phil has given you as an XBOX gamer since he took over and look at the future roadmap. Kendrick and some other people are trying to stack XBOX against Nintendo and Playstation but its not an apples to apples comparison. I think the only fair criticism is having to wait for the games which starts in May with Hellblade 2.
Ponies are full steam ahead, doubling down, they're attacking Xbox constantly saying it's dead, so some Xbox fans are believing them, and also they're constantly attacking Xbox YouTubers, trying to discredit them, so that there's no one to defend Xbox.
the gaming world would be quieter and more peaceful if these pigeon-chested hoooos selling they buns in the street corners GTFO!
Crap has completely lost it. Flipped yet again. Crying on twitter all day, harassing Sarah Bond. The dude needs help.
Oh, shoot, RNB/DEV are on notice!
It's official! Dev and RNB are two different people. I retract my statements from last week ๐๐
You guys let me down big time, you don't really know how to defend Phil vs Don, firstly KINECT was introduced by Mr XBOX PETER MOORE, DONNY D, only released KINECT 2, and KINECT games, NONE of the games that came out afterwards were green lite by DonnyD, so just stop.
I was called "poor" by a PonyBot (the same one who said Mattrick needs to come back), because I use Game Pass. Situation was funny because he admitted to being on government assistance and I just recently surpassed a net worth of $1m.
You're gonna have to remove toys for Bob from your intro.
The last part was a good debate on Phil vs don ponys and pony podcast should take notes instead of making up shit and lie
Dead Rising 3 did get a Sequel

Xbox games flop in playstation i love it. Worst decision in xbox history to port some games to playstation
Maybe thatโs why PlayStation game sales suck. Their users will only buy high metacritic scored games. They better get used to buying lower scored games since they donโt have nothing coming for a year.
Sea of Thieves is going to sell great on Playstation. I'm a huge Sea of Thieves fan and I always read comments in Sea of thieves videos and forums of ps gamers asking for the game. On every single video, tons and tons of people asking for it. It's a unique and fantastic game that will grow on PS with Word of mouth
Booty's quote wasn't that they were going to spend Sony out of business. His quote was that general sentiment in the industry is that Microsoft COULD spend Sony out of business, and its about time that Xbox starts acting that way. Essentially, Xbox has been acting way too weak for the financial backing they have so its about time they start actually trying to fight Sony rather than continuing operate on a shoe string budget.
