Alright so here is the review for FH3 that he highlighted:
Forza Horizon 3 review: Playground Games drifts off at the wheel of Xbox's latest racer

Really breh? Who gives a shyt at this point. FH3 has a fukking 91% on metacritic. Why give trolls the satisfaction? It doesn't impact the overall score most of the time.

People talking about the 4 rating gets them a traffic bump for sure. But guess what? Phil Spencer talking about it gives them more traffic than all those others linking it over and over again combined.

Not a good look IMO, but whatever keep it going.

He complaining about the backlash and seem to believe Xbox still havent destroy the reputation that they recieved since the next gen started. Mattrick almost destroyed the brand in one day. Just keep putting games out that's all as Xbox seem to be latching on crazy the past three months.

I did, it's just not a good look for a figurehead to really take the bait on review conspiracy theories like that.

He has a point about FH3, but whatever. It is what it is. I personally wouldn't have even brought that game up...it is justifying the trolling by the reviewer. Can we get a link to the FH3 review he highlighted?

He was answering a question. Wasn't like he just put out a statement to be mad at the reviews.

I just read the review by the troll...which I would have never done if Phil Spencer never brought it up.

The review was garbage after this line:
it's hard to say what Forza Horizon 3 does well.

XBOX is doing great now. UK and US they will outsell PS4 for the next few months, and those are the biggest markets. I expect a momentum shift when Scorpio comes out. XBOX is dropping triple A games. Sony has been quiet since UC4, will remain so until Horizon. One AAA exclusive per year average :snoop:

Lol I didn't downplay UC4 if that's what you're referring to. I enjoyed that game. Downplaying Sony for not dropping shyt worth of note since then. And Forza Horizon 3 is one of best games of the year along with UC4.. you're the one doing the downplaying breh.

:what:

Sony been quiet?

Sony dropped this year alone:

Uncharted 4 May 10th
Ratchet and Clank March
SFV February

Guilt Gear Xrd Revelator
Salt and Sanctuary
King of Fighters XIV
Alienation
Abzu
The Witness
MLB The Show
SOMA
NMS

and they got TLG dropping in Dec. Persona 5 dropped in JPN last month What are you talking about?

PSVR DROPS NEXT WEEK
PS4 Pro a month later



What's with this nonsense of not counting exclusives all throughout the year but Microsoft drops all their games at the end of the year and suddenly they been consistent? They dropped three games back to back. Sony dropped throughout the year.

What has Microsoft dropped Jan-September of this year?? Sony literally dropping new platforms this year. :snoop:

And some of those games you listed aren't even Sony exclusives :mjlol:

Calm down stan.. None of those games are AAA aside from UC4. That was my argument.

No Man's Sky got the AAA treatment but.. we all know what happened with that game :mjlol:

Oh now we playing the "not even sony exclusives" game. :camby:

So Sony dropped THREE AAA games(UC4, Ratchet and Clank, SFV) and TLG drops in December.

You dudes love creating this dumb ass criteria for what counts.

Ratchet and Clank is not AAA? The shyt literally had a movie released with it. Whether it is an "AAA" game or not, the shyt is clearly an amazing game.

SFV is not AAA? :mindblown: Street Fighter is not an AAA game?

:what:

Your argument makes zero sense and is wrong on many levels. :mindblown:

A new platform drops next week, TLG in DEC but they don't count because they don't fit your criteria. :what:



Go head breh, your argument is literally nonsense. :camby: Sony been dropping straight fire this ENTIRE year.

No I mean some of those games have already been hinted at/announced for Xbox.

Again the post clearly said AAA. You listed a bunch of indies. I didn't make up the criteria, it was already set by the previous post you quoted:manny:

And ratchet and clank was by definition not AAA. Street fighter was low budget as fukk too.

If we take this "it's on other platforms" talk seriously, there's ZERO conversation to have about Xbox considering all their damn games are on PC now.

and what's the point in saying Ratchet isn't an AAA game? It's one of the best games of the year!
