So my car ended up in the shop a few days ago with expensive repairs, leading me to scramble to figure out what to do and how to pay for it. Got rides figured out for work, but it's been tiring and I haven't streamed in a few days. Looking to get a stream in tomorrow!
It's not quite the same, obviously, but Xbox pretending everything is fine when the writing is on the wall is very much like what Sega did back then. It's just not possible to fix Xbox without burning even more money and while Sega simply ran out of it, MS is done spending it.
They'll eventually kill the brand, and the bigger studios will be sold off or sent to the pasture if they can't regain their independence. The future of Xbox gaming is a tombstone. The brand has negative momentum and the higher ups are tired of the bleeding.
Ok, actually streaming AND playing a video game tonight! It's crazy, I know, but hear me out......
....over at https://t.co/f7LeT2o8Qx!
(it's Diablo 4 supposedly)
That said, I was really disappointed by the sex jokes and swearing. There were young kids in the theater who were really excited and into the movie, and I'm sure their parents were feeling uncomfortable with jokes about fisting people and giving head. It was barely innuendo.
Watched Masters of the Universe with family today. Lots to talk about, but overall I enjoyed it. It's a great "bad" movie, and I think it will do well on streaming services. But some of that "bad" is actually bad, and it's likely the sequel bait won't happen.
I wish I could put it into words better but this Direct really didn't do much for me. The format has become very stale and dry since Iwata passed, but the big reveals felt very underwhelming. Lots of "we'll show you more later", which is frustrating.
The inner conflict of a night owl: do I go to bed early and wake up to watch the Nintendo Direct, or pull an all nighter and be tired all day? Hmm.....
Sorry for the late start! We're firing up the Xbox Games Showcase and together we'll discover what the power of X is all about!
.....or something. Anyway, LIVE NOW at https://t.co/f7LeT2o8Qx
Still basking in that Stellar Blade 2 reveal. It looked incredible but I have so many questions about the story. The God Hand combat looks fantastic and I really want to hear the song they used for the trailer!
That said, hit me with that Fithos Lusec and you'll see me melting down into tears of happiness. I wish FF8 got anything close to the love that FF7 has. =\
So uh.....I didn't have the absolute joy roller coaster that Maximilian had, but I gotta admit this was an excellent SGF. Veronica, Stellar Blade, Alien Isolation, Final Fantasy, just so much good stuff coming. Can't wait!
