Yeah I got it at launch and but I also bought the XB1 X. I originally thought there would be more good games and thought Halo 5 would be amazing (which it most certainly wasn't). Don't get me wrong, I'm quite happy with having an Xbox still just because all my family and friends play on it and I like the options they have such as the game pass and EA Access. But it would be nice to play some proper single player story games! 

So if anyone has a link to any good PS4 Pro bundle deals, let me know.

I don't get this..... you bought the XB1 at launch, and have a gaming PC.....

Since launch or for a good while you feel the only XBox game worth menntioning is FH....... and yet you still went and bought an XB1X? And you have a gaming PC?

I'm sorry, not knocking on your XB preferences here, but that makes zero sense to me. Hell, it almost sounds irresponsible.

I mean, I guess there were probably a few others such as the Tomb Raider game which was exclusive for a bit. Oh yes, I play the games with my friends and family who have an Xbox only and I do love great graphics so of course, I got the Xbox One X. I only got the PC because I travel a lot so it makes sense to have something capable of playing games (Xbox Play anywhere is a nice touch) and be able to work on it as well.

Hope that makes more sense now.

As much as I agree with you, I don't think this is the place to berate someone for their poor decisions. 

Well maybe you consider it a "poor decision", but I have still had a blast with owning an Xbox One/X all of these years and have absolutely no regrets over buying either of them. Given that, how can it be a poor decision?

I wonder if anyone will top that this year? It'll be quite a challenge... by the time you start getting into the mid 90's any review that isn't absolutely stellar can cost ya a point or two.

Super Smash Bros. for Switch will certainly score over 90%, sell more than God of War and be played for longer periods of time. 

Almost any Call of Duty will sell more and be played longer, and nobody tried to bring it into the discussion so far. 

 

"A multi-player game will be played longer than a single player game". How surprising. And in other genius news, water is wet!

Yeah, that's like the epitome of "reaching".  I chuckled as soon as I read his comment.

Ha, it really does.

I would say 20-30 more.

So my excitement for the game is justified. I saw the first gameplay and I was really impressed.
Good Job SantaMonica and Cory Balrog.
I hope they will do a new IP (RPG) because I am seeing potential for SM to make a wonderful RPG.

No. Does everyone have to make an RPG? I like this linear open hub world bloodborne approach to games more so than i like the vast open wprld of an RPG. There is more intimacy and familiarity with these smaller worlds than the endless filler you see in these vast open worlds, all od which at some point you spend the bulk of your time fast travelling.

And as far as I am concerned, this GOW is pretty much a new IP. Outside Kratos as a chracter (aka as player avatar) there isn't a single thing tying it to the previous games. There isn't even a jump button. If this weren't called GOW people would see this as a new IP.

I like RPGs and not all RPGs should be Open world so whatever man. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
