Oof, that's a huge one.

Hey Phill, remember when you said the acquisition of Activision Blizzard would build a “culture that strives to empower everyone to do their best work.” ?

WTF Are you even doing with Xbox? Do you even know what you are doing anymore?

Feels like they're going all in on Gamepass, cloud gaming and AI, all of which could end up biting them in the ass.

I wish nothing bad happens to the people on the lower end or that they keep their jobs. If this makes them lose so much money or screws them over that badly, then they have no one to blame but themselves. Assuming they'll even try to bother. Which they won't. I'm personally glad that I never bought a Series X. Not even worth the trouble they can't even there to put on good exclusives.

Rats. Just heard about this. No release date yet.

See, first Phil embraced the idea of owning another pub behemoth, then he extended an olive branch to Bobby, saying it’ll be in everyone’s best interests. Now that the deal is done, it’s time to extinguish!

Critical, the AAA gaming world won't change. All it does is turn.

I wonder what this could mean?

It means "We know the game is shit and we won't make any money if the public finds that out early".

I wonder what this could mean?

Oooh, ooh, let me guess; They are gonna delay the game for like two weeks just before the launch date!

Don’t worry; reviewers will have the last laugh. Guessing this will be a sub 5 out of 10 kinda game. Fans OTOH will probably still get it and regret it.

It's fighting game based off of a mobile franchise. Arc System Works worked on this game, and it came out on PS4. The updated version has all of the DLC costumes and characters from the start. There's are a brawler-rpg story mode as well.

Oh, thanks for the clarification! It has the genre description: role-playing, action, fantasy for some reason, didn't realise it were fighting with screenshots looking cinematic so I'd assumed there was gonna be a story it wanted to promote lol

Apparently we'll also get to see more on the Elden Ring dlc, Kingdom Hearts 4 gameplay, and Silent Hill 2 remake as well.

And I am hoping to see more pc port annoucement. Bloodborne I gave up a long time ago, so maybe GoT or GOW: Ragnarok port?
