It was a good game esp with it's BioS style of gameplay, but it's just a damn shame it didn't sell better than it should of.

PS5 only gamers, assume all Bethesda games go exclusive. What now?

Gimped versions of Elder Scrolls and Doom running on a XBX in 2 years, because of a shitty XSS? Fuck that noise. MS can go fuck themselves. Sticking with PS5 (eventually) & PC. Those established and cherished IP's will be run into the ground anyway.....the short-term memory loss of all the "Sony is doomed" crew is hilarious.

You say lets assume but I just can't see how it adds up when it comes to the return on investment.

I buy both systems this gen but I wouldn't really care.
I loved Doom 2016, but Eternal not so much. I also didn't like the Wolfenstein games after TNO. I don't like TES at all. The best Bethesda games this gen for me were Dishonored 2 and Prey, both weren't tremendously succesful and ran like shit on consoles anyway.
I think their games are hit and miss.

I was planning to build a gaming PC for my fore Valve Index after I grab a PS5. Those plans dont need to change as I will just grab the Bethesda games off Steam

Yeah, PS5 and PC is a good combo. I'm buying one for doing art and designing things but I will play some strategy games if see any good ones on there.I was planning to build a gaming PC for my fire Val e Index after I grab a PS5.

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

I’ve been gaming exclusively on Playstation for 20 years. If StarField/Fallout/Elder Scrolls goes exclusive ill have to decide between the series x or series s in a few years.

If everyone buys PS5 overwhelmingly , they will have to bring all the games to PS5.

I dunno ... those IPs are too huge to let them go to waste. Doom is literally the face of first person shooters.

I think the small games like Dishonored will be exclusive (which is a shame but Dishonored 2 really killed a lot of my interest) but big games like Fallout 5 will go to PS5 - but at the very least it will be a year delay and delays to the expansions...and let’s not forget the full modding ability is available on Xbox but not Playstation...
I love Bethesda Studio style games so this 7 billion may have done its work as far as I’m concerned

I will do just fine without Fallout and Elder Scrolls. I doubt Bethesda will ever innovate with those franchises, why bother when they will sell a ton without changing much, just update the graphics a bit and bam. They will still play like shit. I won't miss SJW Wolfenstein either. Really the only loss for me will be Arkane which make pretty good and innovative games generally speaking.

Not an ES fan to be honest I tried Skyrim back on ps3, just didn’t appeal to me. The rest of the catalog of games I have little to no desire to play, especially after what the last fallout was

I'll get Starfield maybe 3-6 years from now on PC if it turns out to be a game on par with Sony's exclusives.
Bethesda has a lot of prove, they're not the AAA publisher they used to be. I'll be glad to be proven wrong. Space games and exploration are my kind of games, so starfield seems interesting to me.

TBH I am not sure what to do. NGL, I was seriously considering going with a XSX first but as I have well over a year of PS+, a large PS4 library and had already preordered CP77 for PS4 I jumped on the PS5 last week, the extra games from PS+ seemed a good way to fill time once I finished my first play of CP77 (there’s a few games I haven’t played plus a few I have discs for that I will replay) until true next gen games start arriving. I would have eventually picked up a XSS anyway most likely.
Now though? I’m not sure. I like Bethesda/Zenimax games and with the exception of Bungie they are my most played games this gen. Just the thought of there being any chance of exclusivity makes me lean toward XSX, it’s more powerful, I’m more likely to mess with mods as XB has better support, GP seems a great deal and I’ve liked the concept of the Elite controller for some time. So now I’m considering going XSX first and PS5 toward the end of the generation. I may be able to find my 360 games and use them plus GP to fill out for a while...
Or maybe it’s time to build a PC and keep the PS5. If I didn’t travel so much I would have already done this, traveling with a PS is easy. I wonder how hard it would be to travel with a XSX... could always pick up both XBs and travel with the XSS. On top of that I am really frustrated/angry at work right now, am seriously considering just going back to being an electrician which would keep me at home...
I REALLY don’t want to buy more than one console now. And I don’t want to buy some games again. Last gen was the first time I went with PS first since the X1X was such a disaster at launch- historically I always go Nintendo first.
TLDR: FML,FWPFTW

Then why are they still selling millions?

damn.. that’s so pessimistic and spiteful. I don’t like it.
This acquisition really makes me doubt to be honest! It truly is a gigantic big-dick move
I love almost all Bethesda’s games; Elders Scrolls, Doom, Wolfenstein, dishonored.. all are among my favorite games EVER
On the other hand, I build up a very large PS4 library of games ánd I love PSVR. Also, I’m invested in PS exclusives like Horizon, Spider-Man, TLOU and GOW.
I think I’ll still be buying a PS5 first. But I’m sure I will (have to) buy a Xbox SX after a couple of years, when all the Bethesda exclusives start rolling out.

>actually buying Windows 10I 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!

I´ve never tasted green frijoles and never will.
I will replay Fallout 3, when everyone gets to play Fallout 77.
Fallout 76 gonna be officially the most
expensive, non working, shitty mmo out there.
$100 for the F076 sub + $120 for gamepass
Fallout 76 will cost you 2021+ and beyond over $220

I'm tentatively planning on getting either an XSX or XSS (or whatever the mid-gen refresh is) in 3 or 4 years. By then I expect MS will have built up a catalog of games I want to play -- games like Elder Scrolls, Starfield, Fable, and Avowed. But that's off in the distant future. For the next few years, it'll be PS4/5 and Switch.

It's a great get for Xbox but let's be clear here they were/are so far behind Sony in content and still are even after buying zenimax so I don't get all the crying about sony needs to respond when they don't really do they all things considered ... I wish Xbox well it's a competition after all and it was a great move .

The Xbox S Series will be something i will consider IF Elder Scrolls look stunning and its Xbox exclusive. There is still Forza for second game i like from MS. But it wont stop me one second getting a PS5 when i will buy one. Im not going to headbang myself into my table to choose one or the other, its one or both.

great move for Microsoft for game pass, but i still don't see why the Internet makes it seem like Sony should be in panic mode..as of now multiplats will still be multi from this acquisition. even when it does change, i only play Doom and i have a PC anyway. kinda think 7 billie is still a bit much, they could have bought a few studios for that price

It will take more than studio acquisitions to make me consider Xbox.
At the end of the day, Sony has more compelling content out NOW on PS4 and upcoming PS5. Xbox Series X/S launch is looking very thin at the moment regarding must have titles.
You don't just go on hopes and dreams. Smart consumers will go where the games are NOW and not in 2 or 3 years time. If by then Xbox has a better lineup, then sure it makes sense to go with Xbox but currently this is a promising sign for Xbox and nothing more.
This is a good buy from MS and we are yet to see what comes from it.

I'd buy an XSX in 2-3 years when any of those games actually come out, I guess.
Or maybe a gaming PC. Probably a better combo, but also more expensive.

Good for Microsoft and Xbox fans. However, it doesn't change anything for me. I still intend to buy a PS5.
