Nothing has changed. PC + PS5 this generation.

You say like everyone can afford XSX equivalent PC. Go take a look Steam hardware chart. 90% gamers still play on GTX 9x series at 1080p. Lol

PC gaming not for everyone my guy

 

[Silent Viper]

Microsoft puts everything on PC so....

They selling Game pass not Xbox hardware to you.

 

[sendit]

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

 

[Silent Viper]

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.




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.

These same fanboys want Sony to buy Konami who don't make games anymore but shitting on Bethesda deal.

Let them cry. This is just the beginning. MS not done buying studios

 

[Silent Viper]

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.

Fallout 76 only turd by B team

But ES6 and Starfield by main A Bethesda team under Todd Howard

 

[spookyfish]

Microsoft has poorly handled acquisitions in the past. Who says these new studios won't deteriorate?

I’d like to think they’ve learned from that; but I’d be lying if I said this wasn’t a concern.

People want Sony to buy Konami so those IPs *would* be made again.

I personally would like to see Iga hired for Castlevania, and Kojima brought back for MGS and Silent Hill.

 

[fermcr]

Xbox Series S + Gamepass is a good deal, and, not very expensive.

 

[Cynical_Aries]

Guess I'll finally get both consoles at some point.

 

[DinoD]

I only care for Wolfenstein and Starfield looks interesting. There's always an option to pick up S or X down the line.

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

I mean Ghost wire and deathloop is still going to PS5 so....

 

[Rean no Kiseki]

I don't know..... Play something else? It's not like I have all the time in the world to play all the games, and my backlog is big as it is so maybe I'll play those instead?

 

[mekes]

MS are selling the Series X with 24 months of game pass ultimate for £28.99 /m for 24 months. It is tempting me. Before the news today, I had no idea that this deal existed. Just over the past few days alone I had started to look into game pass to see what kind of value it offers. I googled Xbox series X tonight and found that deal within a minute. I’d never have done that without today’s news.

I may go with both consoles now for this gen. And possibly Xbox first.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

I'm Nintendo + PlayStation + PC, so I'm all good.

 

[TheGreatWhiteShark]

I have a more than capable PC..but the wife prefers an xbox.

Looks like i'll be heading to gamestop here tomorrow, or going through the MS Store. She literally text me like "The folks who make Skyrim just got bought by them, go put some money down for me" lol

 

[Audiophile]

Only thing I'm remotely interested in is Dishonored. Doom is top quality but not my sort of thing. Wolfenstein was fun but has zero staying power with me.

Frankly find stuff like Elder Scrolls & Fallout to be utterly dull, I never quite got the appeal, they've always felt barren, buggy and clunky. The latter even moreso with their last car crash.

Personally it barely effects me; and if I do find myself really wanting to play something, there's always PC.

Sorry for those who like their games though.*

*Unless you in any way supported Fallout 76; in which case you deserve this.. =P

 

[FranXico]

I was going to get Death Loop before and Ghostwire Tokyo, I will be avoiding buying anything from Bethesda now....

Way to give Microsoft the message that they should just not bother with Playstation anyway...

 

[Bryank75]

Rather not play ball with MS. Maybe at less than 10 euro on sale.

 

[TheGreatWhiteShark]

more like 80euros FOREVAH

 

[MrFunSocks]

I'm sure they all will now claim to have gaming PCs with 3080s in them

 

[karasu]

All I care about is The Elder Scrolls and its been so long that I barely care anymore.

 

[alabtrosMyster]

How about no... seriously, 80 to 90% of my gaming time is spent on Sony exclusives... so I am not the target audience (still love doom 2016 tho, hate the new one).

 

[lefty1117]

well at least Avengers Spiderman DLC is exclusive to PS

 

[Apocryphon]

Fallout 76 only turd by B team

But ES6 and Starfield by main A Bethesda team under Todd Howard

Rage 2 was one of the worst shooters I have ever played and New Colossus and Youngblood were awful... certainly nowhere near as good as New Order and Old Blood.

Evil Within 2 wasn't as good as 1 but it wasn't horrid, and Deathloop looks garbage. Maybe ES6 and Starfield will be good but who knows. After Fallout 76 I don't trust a word they say.

 

[Apocryphon]

well at least Avengers Spiderman DLC is exclusive to PS

Fuck off with that childish shit.

 

[Represent.]

I only give a damn about Elders Scrolls, which I think will still be on PlayStation.

If not ... eh

Im not buying 2 consoles. And Naughty Dog makes Playstation a must have for me, period.

 

[lefty1117]

Fuck off with that childish shit.

Miles Morales SPiderman as well. It's not all gloom and Doom ... oh er

 

[ricardo_sousa11]

Ill play em on PC

 

[AnotherDayAnotherDollar]

Highly interested in Fallout 5 and ES6. Not interested in Starfield. I would, however, be interested in KOTOR 1+2 remake and KOTOR 3 by Obsidian.

I mean Ghost wire and deathloop is still going to PS5 so....

Pre existing contracts. MS doesn't wanna break them. Not that much different than Spider-man and X-Men movies still being released by Sony and Fox even after Disney bought Marvel.

 

[Apocryphon]

Miles Morales SPiderman as well. It's not all gloom and Doom ... oh er

If it helps you sleep then you continue to tell yourself that kiddo.

 

[magnumpy]

this is the worst thing that's ever happened

 

[KonstructReborn]

Sony can purchase Square Enix, or Capcom I guess fuck it at this point.

 

[KonstructReborn]

Imo there was good balance between the two. However it is Microsofts lack of implantation of thier studios that make them look bad compared to Sony. I give them Playground Games as a solid studio the rest just seem to float.

I guess Microsoft's answer is just to purchase more studios and segregate the them behind gamepass instead of just playing the traditional game. I really hope Sony puts the foot down and gives them a big fuck you with exclusively out of any Japanese license at this point (Capcom, Square etc just like the PS2 era)

I was open to just giving support on PC but then I remembered it's all about gamepass. And I won't be able to directly own any of it.

 

[Self High Five]

I love how, “I’ll just build a PC” has become such a response to all this. MS thanks you for your Windows purchase and your Gamepass purchase!

"Thank you for building a PC with an OS you had for years and investing into Valve's ecosystem where they get most of your money"

Sorry, MS makes the most money in gaming through Xbox. PC is the last place they want consumers invested in (outside of Playstation) since you'll probably be able to get almost all of Bethesda next gen catalog for the price of one year's gamepass ultimate....and you actually get to own them.

 

[Rubik8]

So in 2 to 3 years, if this acquisition actually produces some must have games, I’ll consider an Xbox. But I’m not buying one on maybes.

 

[Moonjt9]

Fallout 4 was so bad and disappointing that I honestly could not care less about not being able to play future Bethesda games on PlayStation.

 

[MayauMiao]

I'll stick to PC when it comes to buying Bethesda games knowing MS will always screws up whatever studio they acquire.

 

[TheGreatWhiteShark]

Rage 2 was one of the worst shooters I have ever played
New Colossus awful...
Youngblood awful...
Evil Within 2 wasn't as good as 1
Deathloop looks garbage.
Maybe ES6 and Starfield will be good but who knows.
After Fallout 76 I don't trust a word they say.

Fuck off with that childish shit.

 

[fran.fernandez]

Use my pc?
But as i can not pause/resume and I don’t save/checkpoint game from 2005 era I will not finish them anymore lol.

 

[MrFunSocks]

So in 2 to 3 years, if this acquisition actually produces some must have games, I’ll consider an Xbox. But I’m not buying one on maybes.

Yes I'm sure all those like 8 studios they acquired with proven track records will all just forget how to make games. Definitely wait and see.

 

[TheGreatWhiteShark]

nah, 2 to 3 years is way too soon. next bethesda game will probably be out in 15 years

 

[O-N-E]

Dishonored is the only thing I care about from the buyout and I can play that on PC if they ever do another one.

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

The PS5 isn't out yet. No-one in this thread is a "PS5 only gamer." Besides, what kind of responses did you expect from this thread? People just crying?

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Ive never played one of their games. I believe I seen some on my PS + collection.

 

[Futurematic]

If Arkane releases another immersive sim after Deathloop I’ll buy an Xbox for that and replaying old Halo games, sure. I would also be sold if they remade the cancelled Prey 2 lol.

Nothing else Zenimax does is must play for me. Congrats to all their staff though, MS pays better than most video game studios.

 

[BaneIsPain]

For Bethesda games always go for PC, not sure why this change anything. Sony's first party studios are the game to play on PS5.

 

[ZippyTheOtter]

I don't play them, but weren't there countless threads before about how they sucked on sony platforms?

I'm sure that's been talked to death, but I'm just now catching up.

 

[PSlayer]

It's probably coming to pc at the same time as consoles. Gamebryo games run like shit on consoles so you probably better buying the pc version


Doom will be missed tho

 

[trikster40]

I play their games on PC, continue gaming on PlayStation, life goes on.

 

[Umbral]

Bethesda doesn’t make anything I’m into besides Prey. That series is dead now. I plan to pick up Deathloop though.

 

[Ritsumei2020]

Will miss them dearly? I dont know, never played Fallout or Elder Scrolls.

 

[DavidGzz]

PS5 only gamers

^ In the thread title and people keep bringing up PC. Ok, so MS still gets your money wherever you buy the games, you aren't damaging them by saying PC even if you want to ignore the thread title.
