They were pretty meh, imo. Insert heavy metal, shoot this monster, move here, oh a new upgrade, rinse repeat.

This describes how I feel about shooters in general.

Shooters are great if you've had a long day at work or spend all day dealing with your kids.

That's actually how I started playing Halo.

I have no hate for Sony. I've owned both hardware versions over the multiple generations.

But the way that Xbox/Msft is throwing dinosaur shite piles of cash at their streaming service and bolstered their cloud streaming tech is what they wanted to do fricking last gen when they announced the Xbox One OG ..but they gaming community was not ready for it..And they did it in a super shitty way that hurt them more and Sony fired back at their dumb asses and sorta one the war in one shot. But no one is batting an eye about throwing 300 down for a console with no disk drive and will be always on...

Xbox has been planning this for way longer and it seems Sony has sorta been sitting back and enjoying being the king and winning the exclusive war and totheir credit they kicked MSFT's arse doing that..

Then MSFT just said..welp, let's change the rules of the game .

I really don't think Phil Spencer gets the credit he deserves. He is doing a great job trying to put the gaming division in the best position as possible


Pretty spot on.

Microsoft is embracing a little bit of that Apple side. Let's think different and see what sticks. The hololens, cloud gaming, always on/digital only, that crazy arse room projector thing they tried

Sony is just evolving and not being revolutionary.

Yea I guess most linear shooters have that same formula. I don't know something just didn't click for me with Doom. Got bored half way through.

Don't forget Nadella.

Phil can't make these kind of acquisitions if Satya isn't fully on board.

People who favor Sony exclusives are the same people that say Fast & Furious is the GOAT movie series.

They will still offer those consoles with physical disk drives but by the end of this console generation both will have a fleshed out streaming option. Microsoft has started this trend with their xCloud platform.
