Microsoft’s Efforts to Bring Japanese Games to Xbox One Should be Encouraged, Not Mocked

You never do the medium any favours by killing ideas before they can hit the market for everyone to learn from. Good or Bad. Look at Nier. The first one was railed by critics and is exactly the kind of game that Microsoft would have cancelled before even marketing.

Microsoft is TERRIFIED of risk. This is what seperates them from Sony and Nintendo. That aversion for risk is what we all identify as milking. It's Killed Halo, it's killing COD and it has pretty much neutered Gears of War.

They don't understand the essence of gaming. They dont deserve to be in the medium in the first place, if this is the stance they take. When they had something to prove MS was a force. Such a force that people wondered if Sony could even mount a comeback for the next gen (But they did it with the PS3 slim) Microsoft approached Gen 7 with a chip on their shoulder. Achievements, A strong focus on Online Gameplay and community. Microsoft 2005-2010 is not Microsoft 2013- Present.

 

They Suck.

Fuck MS.

wait Sony taking risks ???? We are talking about the same company here???? If there is a company with a shit management, holding on one leg for a decade, with zero ambition, bleeding cash like a slitted swine, not even able to leverage their own licences to support it's own divisions it's Sony.... I know I actually worked with their marketing division in Europe in the past and one of my best friend is handling their social media advertising budget... If there is one company lacking ambition and vision it's Sony by far.... Sea of thieves, sunset overdrive, fable, halo, forza h, QB etc were all more ambitious and original than what I ha e seen coming out of sony

No Go on. Tell me how the trifecta of Forza/Halo/Gears and the dead carcass of Fable outclass the output Sony has had this year ALONE.
