Uh no
no
I mean that if MS get aggressive about securing exclusives, they might actually put up some decent competition. As it stands, the gen is already won and the other two consoles are simply 'also-rans'. I'd like to see MS turn up the heat a bit and keep Sony on their toes.I mean, outside of maybe selling more X1 units? I don't see how this really adds more fire to anything. X1 owners were always going to get this game. So it does nothing for them. By fire, do you mean cut out the majority of the fan base from playing a sequel a series they supported?
I mean..I guess?
6 months.
Cause they fired half their teams and talent.
Bold move, I like it. This gen needs a bit more fire because right now, it's boring as fuck.
Of course, this means I won't be playing the new Tomb Raider, and that's a shame. I'll get by though.
I finally mastered a foreign language today: Cboatnese.Uh no
no
Moneyhats are the laziest, most despicable way to do it, however. It wasn't cool when Sony did it, it wasn't cool when Nintendo did it. I'm sure Sega probably did a couple and even that wasn't cool. The fact is: if MS wants to be a real competitor (in a way that also gets core gamer respect), they need to put these efforts towards internal, 1st-party IP development, not moneyhatting 3rd-party content.I mean that if MS get aggressive about securing exclusives, they might actually put up some decent competition.

How is this a weird decision? I hate to say it, but Square needs money and Microsoft has money. 1 + 1 = 2
But cboab post can means "no 3 years exclusivity, one year" "no 3 years exclusivity, forever".
Uh no
no
But CBOAT post can means "no 3 years exclusivity, one year" "no 3 years exclusivity, forever".
I dunno. To me this just seems wrong. Like I said earlier, I get exclusives. I just don't like the idea of exclusives being made from established multi-plat franchises, especially when it involves cutting out the majority of the consumers that supported it in the first place.
Lol. Perfect response.

Exclusives can only be acquired when two companies come together and reach a benefit that both sides see as mutually beneficial. Mind you, I'm not saying that I'm a fan of the move. I'm not tipping my hat to MS for this savvy maneuver. I just have an "it is what it is" reaction to it.
And before settling on a stance, I'm waiting for the dust to settle a bit in terms of figuring out the nature of the move. If as expected it turns out to be a timed exclusive, I honestly can't be motivated to react indignantly. I mean, if you're a PS4 fan that wants the next installment of Tomb Raider as soon as humanly possible, then this is a bummer. But aside from that, I just sort of feel like the options are ultimately going to be there. Need Tomb Raider ASAP? Get an Xbone. Otherwise, wait for what might turn out to be a more polished port later.
yeah I don't understand what he means he could mean it's there for good or he could mean it's just timed, it just adds more confusion to this mess.
Person that told me about many MS 'things' previously is telling me it's indeed a timed exclusive.
Uh no
no
Tsch, I can never make out what CBOAT is saying with his crazy way of writing. WHAT IS THIS "no" HE SPEAKS OF?

It's a win for Microsoft.Win win for Sqaure. Good for them.
He said it.
So was Splinter Cell... and I didn't see the outrage when Conviction was announced to be exclusive to the 360.
Seriously, what is the big deal. If you want to play it so badly, then just get an Xbox One. Exactly what Microsoft wished for when it entered into this agreement with Square Enix.
Cool, good to know it's only timed.
Kind of a shame that Phil 'God's gift to Xbox' Spencer is still up to MS's old tricks though.
Rise of the Tomb Raider only possible with the "Power of the Cloud" confirmed?
No means no.
