PC? XSX?

I think if this exclusive scenario eventually plays out, that the Xbox series S is a decent option. It'll likely be dirt cheap by the time anything remotely good comes from Bethesda next gen. Its $300 now, and with discounts you're looking at 250 next year easy, maybe 200 over the next year or two.

 

[Starfield]

[Yoshichan]

What’s the question? I’ll buy one if there are enough games to attract me, Bethesda or not.

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

Which games and when... i can live a good life without.

 

[ScaryBrandon]

GTA V at $75 is always available

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

the only one that I care about is Doom. But I have a great PC for that.

Nothing has changed. PC + PS5 this generation.

 

[FranXico]

PC.

Then you're not a ps5 only gamer. Thread title.

 

[MrS]

Not for:

DOOM, TES, Wolf, Fallout

Yes for:

Quake

 

[yunkaiza]

Just buy a PC, Bethesda games are 1000x better on PC.

 

[Elcid]

If that theoretically happened and I wanted to actually play one, I'd just get it on PC. Can't justify a 3rd console in my entertainment center. The only way I'd get an Xbox over a PS in the current state would be if they did something like acquire exclusivity on an IP like Final Fantasy.

 

[sackings]

I have a PC, so....Also its not like Bethesda has been setting the world on fire lately. The rise of souls and TW3 has made elder scrolls pretty yawn inducing for me

 

[INC]

you think elder scroll, doom etc will be exclusive to xbx?............lol

I have a pc, so get the best experience anyway

I just hope xbx doesn't go full xbx and make mods a paid thing

 

[Dthomp]

I’ll live just fine? 1000s of games a year so I won’t lose any sleep. Or just buy on pc, or buy a series S? I don’t understand everybody talking like you can only own and support one console

 

[DonJuanSchlong]

PC.

Thought all of them already have high end gaming PC already? That's what they say about Xbox games being playable on pc....

 

[frogger]

Their games are going to be on PC, also given MS's record, I wouldn't be surprised if they publish some on PS5.

 

[Jadsey]

It's not a problem....the very best games are still on PlayStation.

Always have been....always will be...

 

[Maxwell Jacob Friedman]

Sony still has more content then I want when compared to what MS is willing to give, sticking with Sony

 

[drganon]

I'd probably just go for the x if they end up being exclusive. The s still seems like a piece of shit.

 

[bronk]

Its been a long long while since I've played a Bethesda game. I could care less.

Its cause most of em are FPS and most FPS games make me

 

[Metnut]

It’s been a while since Bethesda released a big time really good RPG. If Starfield is a true GOTY type of thing, then it might time to finally build a PC or at least cheap out and get a Series S.

 

[Romulus]

you think elder scroll, doom etc will be exclusive to xbx?............lol

Probably not, but you never know what was negotiated in the future.

 

[FunkMiller]

I’ve bought a Ps5 because I know it’ll have games I want to play on it over the next few years that I can’t play elsewhere.

Guess what? Exactly the same applies to XBox, if it does too.

This console war bullshit is playground stuff.

 

[SlimySnake]

Time to pretend we never cared about Bethesda.

 

[Maxwell Jacob Friedman]

Yea people also suggesting that bathesda and MS want to miss out on sony money is.....wel jarring. Thats what happens when your market leader, you cut out more than half the market

 

[VulcanRaven]

I'm glad that I haven't played Fallout or Elder Scrolls games so this doesn't affect me. Good that they didn't buy Warner's gaming divison.

 

[theHFIC]

Life goes on.

When one iterative first person shooter becomes exclusive, another iterative first person shooter takes its place.

When one franchise falls from grace into a disjointed GaaS another takes its place

When one beloved RPG franchise is still years away from any real news, you wait and see platform sales numbers and that will decide if it is going to wind up a multiplatform release.

I figure some titles will make it still to Playstation. Microsoft has to fund GamePass AAA tier somehow. And what better way than have the users of the competition foot the bill with secondary platform releases?

 

[Red-Town]

I have a gaming PC so it doesn't affect me much but definitely an interesting acquisition by MS.

 

[trikster40]

They’ll all still be on PC, so why buy an Xbox?

 

[Starfield]

It's not a problem....the very best games are still on PlayStation.

Always have been....always will be...

Don't worry. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is still going to be playable on PS5

 

[DForce]

It's a huge move, but I was never into their games.

I tried Wolfenstein , Doom, Elder Scrolls, and fallout 4 this gen, but I stopped playing after 1-2 hours. Their games are just not for me.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

play the game because they will be on every system like everything is

no idea why people think the next Fallout or Skyrim or going to be an Xbox exclusive lol.

console wars have let people delude themselves onto thinking the silliest things.

I tried Wolfenstein , Doom, Elder Scrolls, and fallout 4 this gen, but I stopped playing after 1-2 hours. Their games are just not for me.

i played many of them. they are all old games. that's why people freaking out over this "coup" idgi these are all old ass games everyone has played for free on PSNow for years.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Got a gaming pc so I don't give a f***.

Spoiler

PS5 in november. Let's go.

 

[Portugeezer]

Just buy a Series S.

By the time Bethesda games are complete XSS will be sub $200.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

I played Rage 2 and was fun. Fallout 4 was shit to my liking. The rest aren't even interested in, honestly. If something good comes, I got PC.

 

[Keihart]

I only really played Doom and liked it this gen, and even that i did on PC so for me nothing it's lost.
Big deal if they are exclusive tho, those are big franchises.

 

[sublimit]

I never really cared about any of their IPs so life goes on i guess.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Time to pretend we never cared about Bethesda.

Or maybe time to pretend we all cared about Bethesda?

 

[Entroyp]

I can Play them on PC? Where you expecting us to cancel our preorders OP? Yea, no.

 

[Dolomite]

If the XSS drops to $250-200 by 2022 and you don't own two consoles.... you're playing yourself

 

[iamvin22]

Doesn't effect me as I never played their games

 

[shenmue mugen]

As always I buy all main consoles each generation but those Bethesda games mean nothing to me.

 

[DarkBatman]

I'm sticking with Sony and the PS5.
To be honest: Right now I don't see a reason to buy a XSX tomorrow. In the future it may very well be a valid option, depending on the course MS will follow with the acquisition.

Time to pretend we never cared about Bethesda.

Could you stop with this pathetic fanboy bullshit?
Many people we're pretty anti-Bethesda the last few months, especially regarding the mediocre Fallout 4 (in comparison to part 3), the lackluster Fallout 76 and the terrible Wolfenstein: Youngblood.

Downplaying their valid complains just because you saw 1-2 whiny Sony fans is so pitiful, you should be ashamed of yourself.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

If the XSS drops to $250-200 by 2022 and you don't own two consoles.... you're playing yourself

tripping if u think they don't sell the next Fallout or DOOM on every game box available.

 

[danielJackson]

I dont care most Bethesda enough to be sad about it.

I just dont buy them if they come to game pass + PS5. Fuck the devs if they think that I would pay more than 1-5€ if they think it is almost free to play on pc/xbox.

And if they are not coming to PS5 = not a huge loss

If the XSS drops to $250-200 by 2022 and you don't own two consoles.... you're playing yourself

No sane person pays for 2 subscriptions of same type (music/movies/gameservices). Ps+ is enough, gamepass would 3-5* monthly cost from 3-5€ to 17-20€ because game pass costs 13€. Too much for 2nd system.

If digitals are super cheap, then maybe

So xss is useless as second system, unless digital games are really cheap.

Physical xbox games are half free because it is so unpopular, but csnt have discs with xss

 

[ULTROS!]

Doesn't affect me since I'm not interested in Bethesda games.

I'm only interested in GhostWire: Tokyo from their lineup.

 

[Apocryphon]

I'm interested in what id Software and Arkane put out and I'm assuming that their games will be availqble on PC anyway. Outside of Prey and the Doom games, Bethesda has been slipping this gen. I'm sure they'll bounce back but for now this doesn't affect me at all.

 

[Dolomite]

tripping if u think they don't sell the next Fallout or DOOM on every game box available.

Not day and date. Quote me
PC/X eco at launch. Free w/ Gamepass. Ps5 maybe a yr later and that's being generous

 

[TTOOLL]

Microsoft puts everything on PC so....
