Boy are they desperate...I thought they had grown past this pointless and expensive practice.

Well f*ck you Square Enix, You can pull that sh*t with MS but you can't even let Sony have FF Versus XIII/FF XV stay exclusive to Sony after all the delays.

Not to sound like a Sony fan but I feel sorry for Sony for what Square's been doing to them. Square's game sells alot more on Sony consoles, as well, out of Square's top 10 best selling games of all time, 8 of them are on Sony's consoles. This is the thanks Sony gets from Square. Stupid move as it seems Square needs Sony more than ever.

Rant aside, this is great news for Xbox fans as I seriously enjoyed the first Tomb Raider from last gen. If this new TR game is anything like the previous (or better) then I will highly recommend this to every Xbox One owners. Good for MS!

Good move from Microsoft (for Xbox One owners at lest). Being one of them, I could not complain :)

It changes nothing for Xbox One owners. Or do you think they are happy that Playstation is not getting a version?

It is good for Xbox One owners BECAUSE they are getting it (simple as that)... So yah that a good thing or do you believe that NOT getting a game is a good thing too... And it is a good move for Microsoft and they are may move some console because of the deal. I do not see why you are talking about Playstation here (and I do not care about it)...

.... This is hilarious, some of these comments. This was to be worse than Bayonetta 2.

 

 

Its not really the same situation since Bayonetta 2 is not timed exclusive

Thanks for reminding me but you know that I know and I know that you know so why did you reply at all if it comes down to this?


My point was that your original post I quoted was overblowing the hate that Tomb Raider got, when it was actually voted/ rated one of the best games of the Year by gamers on all sides.

Yea this move seems really dumb for MS. Why would they spend money to do this? What's the logic here? A game that sold pooly last year is suddenly going to move consoles? Who is going to buy an X1 a year from now just because of TR? Very silly move but at this point I don't know what MS could throw their money at that would be a good move.

This really doesn't make any sense at all to me (Microsoft, not your post, which makes perfect sense).

To answer your question though, making :

Madden or COD or Destiny or .. well pretty much that's it. They need a top selling franchise to be exclusive to really give the XB1 something that would make people HAVE to buy an XB1. Of course those deals would be tremendously pricey. Maybe if they hadn't spent $400M on Fantasy Football?

Getting you? I just want to bet since you said it's NOT timed when I said it likely was. You challenged my claim, ffs...


So if people disagree than automatically a bet arises to finally settle the right afterwards? Yes, this sounds like a mature way of dealing with others and their opinions

You didn't put yours forward like an opinion. Oh and get off your high horse

Right, well not playing this then....

They're gonna have to really add a lot more guns and remove a lot the climbing and exploration to fit in with the modern Xbox scene.


Stereotyping never does any good >_>

So much salt. This just proves how third party games are very important despite how fans try to downplay them (compared to exclusives). This also shows that Microsoft won't be passive this gen which is great for competition.


By moneyhatting a mediocre looking entry in a declining series? Paying for a game that almost nobody talked about at E3 simply not to be on other consoles? That's a wise use of money, lmao. It's like Microsoft refuses to learn.

I'm pissed, but that is a bitter ass comment. The series had a very successful reboot with Origins both critically and commercially... I dont see how you can say this new entry looks mediocre when we've only seen a CG teaser trailer, the very same reason why it wasnt a huge talking point back in June.

Game was announced a while ago. You said: "Good move ... (for Xbox One owners at lest)" - What move was good for Xbox One owners? Not being the side that got the game cancelled?
