I've enjoyed my time with #MarvelWolverine this far.

See my playtime via 2 streams and see Omega Red crack my jaw a few times 😂

Don't agree a lot, but we agree here. Series S seems to be sent to brick and morter on demand but your waiting maybe 3 days to get once ordered. Series X, seem easier to get in stores.

Biggest deterrent is price it appears over supply
Stay tuned to thread for podcast on this👇

Where is the Xbox hardware shortage happening? I can buy an Xbox on Amazon, Best Buy, and Target right now. Am I the anomaly?

The issue isn't being able to buy, it's that it's too damn expensive.

In addition why mention CoD and not Gears.... 👀
Both had the most critically acclaimed versions (aggregates like Metacritic and Opencritic) in a while...

Interesting.

[MOS - Sickuvdadumbchit 😐 @MM2K]

I don't get why Asha Sharma mentions YoY comparisons of last quarter vs this one. Year over Year +/- of different quarters are irrelevant.

Thus, it does appear they sold 100k more units vs last QTR. That's somewhat relevant (at least they didn't undersell weakest fiscal QTR🤷‍♂️)

[MOS - Sickuvdadumbchit 😐 @MM2K]

Revised tweet for accuracy - thank you all for the clarification: https://t.co/kje2G8sy2A

Correction: Gears official release was in Oct. Preorders would not be counted until the month of early access, the earliest.

[MOS - Sickuvdadumbchit 😐 @MM2K]

* In prior version of this tweet I mentioned Gears - but Gears wouldn't apply as it released in October not September.

#CONTROLResonant

[MOS - Sickuvdadumbchit 😐 @MM2K]

I'm willing to bet that all the people SO vocal about the state of PlayStation, have no concerns over XBOX's largest IP financially down 32% over last year's version that was day and date in gamepass 👀...

[MOS - Sickuvdadumbchit 😐 @MM2K]

It's the gamepass effect. If you're not a AA title benefiting from the interest of people reluctant to pay full price, you lose stature. AAA gamers become reluctant to buy a game offered in gamepass day and date, ever.

Why day 1 AAA's in game pass must go for Xbox to survive

[Windows Central @WindowsCentral]

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 may have delivered one of the series’ strongest campaigns in years, but the player-count story is looking considerably less rosy.

📉 Reportedly down 32% vs. Black Ops 7 on Xbox
📉 Roughly 30% fewer concurrent players than Black Ops 6’s launch peak on Steam

Is it COD fatigue, stronger competition, or has $70 become a tougher sell without Game Pass?
🤔

[MOS - Sickuvdadumbchit 😐 @MM2K]

There's repetitiveness there, as w/any game, but I'm loving the Control Resonant combat. Personally I'm fatigued w/parry combat. The implementation of the perfect dodge is great a enough defensive measure, w/o slowing down combat. Not what I expected but really good so far imo

[MOS - Sickuvdadumbchit 😐 @MM2K]

I'VE BEEN telling y'all that Eurogamer was a problem... FOR YEARS...

You guys are catching on to this sh*t way too late. Devs are getting punished now. We gotta do better. We have to be that stop gap or the infrastructure falls apart. Let's be more aware 💪

Phantom Blade Zero Reviews ARE IN: Why Did Eurogamer Give it 3/5?

https://t.co/VofSMHOnic

[MOS - Sickuvdadumbchit 😐 @MM2K]

If you're a developer/publisher, you have some establishments that you should think twice about sending review copies to:

- Eurogamer
- Reviewers with 5 point scales in the metacritic aggregate.

Let today be a lesson...
#PhantomBladeZero

[MOS - Sickuvdadumbchit 😐 @MM2K]

Activist reviewers like I always said. Time for change so our devs don't lose out

[Rino🚀 @RinoTheBouncer]

We need to have a serious conversations on what reviews are evaluating about games and who their target audience is🚀

I’m not saying the games on the left side are necessarily deserving 100%, but how did they get a 60% from Eurogamer while Dragon Age: The Veilguard got 100%?🚀

By what metric are these aspects being judged, because I’m sure as hell none of them reflect what players prioritize in games, which ultimately is audience that is supposed to read and base their decision on🤔

[MOS - Sickuvdadumbchit 😐 @MM2K]

Now admittedly review sites won't do this on their own because of the exposure. That's where WE as the community step in. Elevating this issue and consistently escalating it until resolved across the board creates reputational risk >> creates change

[MOS - Sickuvdadumbchit 😐 @MM2K]

Great points re. metacritic as they themselves are most responsible. However, I still think there's a moral "skin in the game approach" to be taken by review sites: If you stick with a 5 star rating go to metacritic and ask to be able to submit an MC friendly score, or be removed

[Kirkland Gray @warmergray]

@ReforgeGaming I agree. In either case, both @metacritic & @Open_Critic have the discretion to exclude @eurogamer from the aggregate score. So there could be a campaign pushing/advocating for exclusion.

Whats the point of Eurogamer reviews if no one who would consume them wants them to count.
