You can lie to everyone else if you feel the need, but you're wasting your time if that's meant to convince me. It's funny how upset you get at one person just telling the truth about you guys. Imagine if it was a whole clown group that just talked shit on you and destroyed your reputation endlessly for months / years. That's you and your friends.
lie about who? what have i posted that is a lie? the fact you honestly seem to think I’m part of some nefarious plot says way more about your mindset than it does me because if I was part of this “clown group” wtf do I have Game Pass Ultimate for years now (though it’s currently set to expire in June IIRC) and also bought the Series X Diablo IV bundle from the Walmart deal

this is the problem with the victim complex, you treat anyone remotely critical of Xbox as if they’re a PlayStation fanboy instead of just being a gamer who has been disappointed with Xbox for the past decade (especially with how Halo has gone downhill), I wanted Starfield to be great and the fact it wasn’t (in my opinion) didn’t make me happy because I’m not fucking rooting for Xbox to fail, get that through your thick skull, the world isn’t out to get Xbox 🤦🏼‍♂️ (just Ass of Can Whooping Ass of Can Whooping is)
 
Gah dayum this thread funny

dont forget that new boy that posts big walls of texts on the face off threads

Shit, I favour Playstation but I could do with an Xbox if it wasn´t so uninspired, Forza has my heart (horizon series and the OG motorsport), that new one trasshhhh.

Plus Banjo Kazooie was my childhood wit that nuts n bolts shit.

My first consoles were three Xbox 360, all died from red ring of light, since then bought Playstations and had a Series X briefly before I made money on it - what a crazy fall from grace

I don't have a real problem with anyone that is critical of Xbox, and I haven't mentioned anything about consoles. I have a problem with people that continually make allegations about other people over and over and over until they have put them in a defined box and then mods and everyone else treats them and everything they say accordingly. Play whatever systems you want, as I genuinely don't really care. Again, it's not a fucking complex when you guys literally are making a list of paid liars right there and smearing people with zero evidence. That's a lie.

listen I don’t really gaf what you think but the evidence was there for all to see in the ABK thread. maybe the mods are unforgiving because they had to ban about 100+ sock accounts for xbox shills during that saga. who knows.

all I do know is that

a. evangelism is a proven m$ tactic
b. florian mueller is a proven paid shill who was operating on gaf on behalf of m$

as for me, if I see the signs in terms of people repeating The Message on behalf of m$, refusing to condemn them whilst condemning ‘the enemy’ and adhering to the evangelism handbook, sock accounts with 20 posts in 10 years popping up to defend m$; I will call it what it is.

honestly best advice, click ignore if I trigger you this much x
 

THE DUCK

voted poster of the decade by bots
I don't get it. Exclusivity of their catalog? Like putting all of their games for Switch 2? Nintendo are crazy enough to be unhappy about that as they want to be the best publisher on their console. In the Wii gen I remember reading that the dev kit they send to third party was not as good as the one given to first party studios. With this mentality I don't think they are eager to deal with Microsoft, regardless of what value Xbox games would have in a kid friendly place like a Nintendo console.

You guys are too quick to dismiss this as a negative for Nintendo. If ms goes third party, it would be a huge advantage for all of those titles to be the Nintendo Ultra home console. It would flush out the exclusives for all age groups and prevent a ton of aaa games from being on PlayStation. This alo might be the kick Nintendo needs to launch 2 consoles, you know they've been considering it.

You reply above acts like ms games wouldn't be on Nintendo consoles, but they would be regardless of exclusivity. Do you see the garbage they already allow on the Switch? The switch store is full of games that nobody wants, if they can become a third party dev, you can bet ms would be in a second.

Why don't you click ignore on everyone on your shill list? I guess I'm not allowed to point out what you guys are doing, but you guys can point false accusations to anyone you want until they get banned.

I know some actual shills do exist. Proof or drop it. I saw a few get banned and you guys managed to root them out on twitter, and I have no problem with that.

Drag it out as long as possible until a mod or your friends rescue you. I said everything very clearly. Why not start proving why everyone on your list is a paid shill before asking me for evidence you dont need.

I mean, it’s obvious.

Now you go.

Its not obvious. You said I'm on your list as well. I've never once spoken to anyone at MS or received any kind of payment or instruction. You were not very accurate there. I also am not on twitter and dont know any of the people you guys obsess over and constantly repost here. You clearly cant admit what is actually obvious. You have zero proof of any of it. You cant distinguish between a fan or a shill at all and just default to accusing tons of people when its not proven or warranted.

Sounds like something a shill would say

Fans will criticize the object of their affection, while shills will make excuses and misdirect. (Which is how I know you aren't a shill.)

I think it pretty easy to see who is only posting positive things about a product and deflecting any bad news if you've been here long enough.

I don't know if you remember that Xbox thread for the full page Starfield ad, but you can't tell me some of the posters in there didn't give you shill vibes with how they were downplaying an interactive full screen ad. I've never meet a person who didn't mind ads, but in that thread, it was a lot of people downplaying against their own interest as a customer.

Vibes sure. But not to the point where I would fully be confident calling them a paid shill. I think people are mostly just stubborn and dont ever want to admit a loss for their team. And some people probably dont actually care or worry about ads or see how bad it could get. A difference of opinion isnt enough for me to call someone that if they regularly post about games and seem normal.
 
We also wouldn't have had usable online gaming on consoles for an extra 10 years, but ok.
I was gaming on my dreamcast with PSO easily. Me and my cousins played the shit out of that game together. I don't know what "useable" is to you but me and my cousins had a great time on dreamcast with it.

So the people who don't want to have to put up with the shilling are the ones who need to create an echo-chamber for themselves?

Makes sense. I wonder why you'd suggest such a thing?

Honestly all this accusing people of being paid shills is getting so tiresome, especially when you look at who some of the users are who's doing the accusing (lol ironic much).

To my knowledge we have only had 1 confirmed paid shill on this forum, and i cant even remember which game it was but that user always defended it to the hilt, then in the end admitted he was a shill and never came back. In fact what his name who always defends Forspoken is very similar to that guy hmm.

Anyway is getting like a house of paranoia in here these days.:messenger_neutral:

The most simple way to look at this is to compare what they say to what they do. Exhibit A:

What they say:

I like that in 2023 I get a wrap AND new games. Wrap my Xbox Series X with a Starfield wrap, while in 2023 playing Starfield, Hi-Fi Rush, Forza Motorsport 2023, Sea of Thieves: Monkey Island, Age of Empires 4 for Xbox, Age of Empires 2 for Xbox, Cities Skylines 2, Call of Duty MWIII, Assassin's Creed:Mirage, Alan Wake 2, Armored Core 6, Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty, Minecraft Legends, Hogwarts Legacy, Diablo 4, Star Wars Jedi Survivor...and Stalker 2 is still tentatively scheduled for this year too. Then there is 2024 😮

What they do:

And for that individual it goes deeper than people realise but I won't go into it since it involves off-site drama on GT Planet where they operate under a different alias (they were part of a batch of users that literally infiltrated the website to talk non-stop about Forza at at time when only GT was discussed, hence the name of the website. It got so bad that at one point they had to make a spin-off website to house them which they argued against and didn't get much traffic so it was abandoned).

There are plenty of other examples like this. People need to open their eyes. It should come as no surprise that people have become tired of the bullshit.

But to defend adverts with such a passion. Surely anyone who sincerely likes something, would want it to be better? Why would anyone want an ad infested experience over a non advert one? This is what I dont get. If you love something why wouldnt you want to critique it in the hope that it gets even better? And if you dont care about adverts, then why would you post so passionately about telling everybody how much they dont matter. Its just plain weird. Until you either realise that they are either trolling, shilling or fanbois. Then it makes sense.

Abou that back catalogue. When I was at Target and they had 4 unboxed, brand new, Xbox 360 consoles for sale. $149.99 each. Did MS re-release the 360? I wish I had gotten a pic.
