People will bitch about anything these days just to ensure they lead a life of perpetual misery.

[K-Med @K__Med]

The back of the Xbox Series X 25th Anniversary needs to be translucent like the rest of the console.

No excuses.

That’s straight-up lazy and cheap.

"25 years in the making" but you forgot to finish it?

[M3RK | Battlefield Bartender @bf_bartender]

@Swurv__ Wasn’t it the PlayStation fans cheering on the same thing when they pulled any support for porting their games to other platforms before Xbox decided to do the same thing?

[M3RK | Battlefield Bartender @bf_bartender]

@UnderTheMayo Yes, but they were mere fodder and usually had shields.

[M3RK | Battlefield Bartender @bf_bartender]

@trapper12 Your point? It’s simple. Sony makes moves, Microsoft retaliates. In all honesty, I’m all for it. It drives competition and gives devs a reason to give a shit about the fun and quality in their games again.

[M3RK | Battlefield Bartender @bf_bartender]

In all fairness, Sony pulled the trigger on this debate first. All of PlayStation’s future exclusives aren’t going to other platforms either.

[T12 @trapper12]

Are you sure you want to do this XBOX???

I bought this on day one and very much enjoyed it.

[M3RK | Battlefield Bartender @bf_bartender]

@SFWsalesgirl @DiscussingFilm Oh dear… you need to look up your history. This isn’t anything new, and it isn’t a GTA clone. The original Crazy Taxi came out before GTA3, the Grand Theft Auto title that put the series on the map in the first place.

[M3RK | Battlefield Bartender @bf_bartender]

@boomshootart Because the skins are visible in the cutscenes. Have you played the game yet?

[M3RK | Battlefield Bartender @bf_bartender]

@RomeGoLARGE Microsoft exclusive. They won’t be playable on Linux or MacOS PCs.

[M3RK | Battlefield Bartender @bf_bartender]

I am a little moist right now…

[DOOM @DOOM]

This summer Hell freezes over.
DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations launches on July 7

[M3RK | Battlefield Bartender @bf_bartender]

@kunaiss You couldn’t be more wrong. To Gears fans, this is like the Halo: Reach campaign of Gears of War.

[M3RK | Battlefield Bartender @bf_bartender]

Anyone else find a white tear running down their leg after watching the new DOOM: The Dark Ages DLC trailer, or is it just me?

[M3RK | Battlefield Bartender @bf_bartender]

@TheRealQuenny @CptCole344 No, it’s the sinful, Call of Duty/Fortnite levels of customising every facet of the game with cosmetic bullshittery that put Halo Infinite in the crosshairs of naysayers in the first place. If you’re advocating for emotes like this in a Halo game, then for the love of god, stop.

[M3RK | Battlefield Bartender @bf_bartender]

If a Fortnite infested version of Halo is what you’re advocating for, keep it the fuck away from me…

[Paz @TheRealQuenny]

343 and Saber were too scared to offically release Halo Online because of this.

This is what they took from you, they knew it would be too good.

[M3RK | Battlefield Bartender @bf_bartender]

@destroyerfied51 So it’s like the Needler from Halo… but worse in terms of balancing…
This is indeed the state of Treyarch.

[M3RK | Battlefield Bartender @bf_bartender]

@kabrutusdeid Three of these are spinoffs you chronically online imbecile.

[M3RK | Battlefield Bartender @bf_bartender]

Oh, how I’d love to watch you crumble and whinge playing shooters like Quale that have had sprinting speeds faster than Call of Duty, running in any direction by default since the fucking 90s. You’re trying to transform COD, a military shooter into a Twitcher/Boomer shooter.

[Dayscar @Dayscarr]

Anyone who hates Omnimovement is just ass

[M3RK | Battlefield Bartender @bf_bartender]

@NikTek It’s nice attention to detail, but realism might be a stretch. Realism as a term in gaming means realistic systems that influence mechanics, things like car physics or Red Dead Redemption 2’s tedious mechanics of having to feed and bathe Arthur to enjoy the rest of the game.

[M3RK | Battlefield Bartender @bf_bartender]

@M3RKCLANGAMING Yeah, whoever’s in charge of COD’s X account SAYS that’s the plan… but again, been burned too many times by the COD studio coalition. Devs are gonna have to earn my money and attention for the next one and deliver on their promises if they want it.

[M3RK | Battlefield Bartender @bf_bartender]

@M3RKCLANGAMING Or take a page out of Ubisoft’s book with what they do with R6: Siege’s Alpha Packs. Give players a chance to win one if they win a match, increase the chances to win by small increments for just finishing a match, and make them free altogether.

[M3RK | Battlefield Bartender @bf_bartender]

@M3RKCLANGAMING And for the love of GOD! They need to stop bloating the arsenal of guns after the game launches. Just makes every other weapon more and more pointless with every new one that drops because Meta abusers seem to hate fun.

[M3RK | Battlefield Bartender @bf_bartender]

@M3RKCLANGAMING It’s not just that. It’s the way they handle post-launch support. I want less predatory Battle Pass systems and microtransactions that make EA look like saints in comparison. Make the base multiplayer progression longer and battle passes cheaper and easy to get through.
