Confirming they didn't talk about the Game Awards controversy even though they teased it when Jez said Shadow of the Erdtree was his GOTY. Thanks for the timestamps champ
@@taylorpepper110 because I volunteered to assist and wanted to. Rand and Jez are also two of the nicest guys out there. No sweat off my back assisting them where I can. Enjoy the show my friend
@MohammedRyad-gs5rt yes he said they still selling millions so they ok . And it still millions buying stuff on Xbox consoles . It's like come on lol. Hardware is still in the dirt . Declining every year and they relying on Xbox one . That not being ok lol
Always weird to me ppl that hate on the Game Awards but then don't even cover the other award shows. Golden Joysticks just happened. FF Rebirth got 4 awards, Helldivers got 3 including Critic's Choice, Astrobot got 2, & Black Myth got 2 including GOTY.
The game awards are awful, and I almost never play or agree with what's nominated or wins tbh. And the Golden Joysticks? Who runs that, it seems very Eastern-centric, do western games ever win?
There is no way Sony don’t make From games exclusive. The billions they’re spending on the acquisition isn’t for the game studios it’s for the anime. The gaming portion is just a bonus. They gonna bleed Xbox out.
I can see the headlines now "In the wake of Sonys $700 PS5 PRO Microsoft releases $300 Elite Series 3 Controller with Haptics and advanced Hall effect Triggers and Thumb sticks and 10K Polling Rate
I like how people keep saying anime monopoly when Sony doesn’t own anime ip they license those and Kadokawa also ain’t the only publisher in manga and LN
Gaming revenue for Kadokawa is 10-12 percent, generally when you want to buy you're purchasing at a premium.. so to get From Software they're paying 90 percent more + Premium ? A bit much
If it's true Stein did that to Geoff then that's completely tone deaf, but it's also a reason why people should probably invest in either a PC, PS5, etc. Also, people should stop crying about MS porting their games. No Xbox fan likes it, but there's nothing no one can do about it, and it is what it is.
@@kingarthur6173🤣🤣🤣. You know you have it the wrong way around right? XBOX, just gave PlayStation millions for free because of COD. XB has to pay wages and get back all the money they used for marketing before they put anything back into GP.
@kingarthur6173 no they make 70% how are they gonna make 80 if PS makes 30.. You bad at math friend? Also from that 70% XB. Had to pay devs and pay for marketing. PS just gets 30% for nothing. So.... I'd save thoes LOL's for when you actually have a W... Because this ain't it. "LOL"
To be fair the Steam Box had a lot of issues, the Steam Deck is basically the Steam Box except in handheld form... I believe they announced they learned from the Box and implemented those lessons into the steam deck. It would make perfect sense for Valve to make a Steam Box again
They both don’t have any real reasons as to why they both love Xbox outside of it being their job. Rand favourite types of games are essentially PS type games. Jez favourite type of games are basically games that PS money hats.
I just want to clarify that there's more than 2 fable games.There's actually 3 main fable game unless.Of course you want to talk about the original fable game that eventually had the lost chapters and then eventually, an anniversary version of the of course, that's not counting the side games as well.The main three games which is fable anniversary be able to end fable three occurrently on game pass for X. Box anyway love the show❤❤❤
Jez is such a clown couple weeks ago stalker 2 and Microsoft fly simulator are game of the year material now all the suddenly changes opinion and in the beginning of the generation was having supported Xbox console now Microsoft do not care he changed his stand and support despise people obviously do not like that I hope PR team paying well for your shilling
2:35:42 how come we can’t stream the games we own on Disc? If I have the disc I have to install the game. Microsoft should have something where you can register the purchase. I have space marine and cyberpunk but won’t be able to stream.
Love how Rand brags about beating Jez at completing games. I know rand is doing it in jest, but Jez does have a Job, travels, and a fiance he devotes time too, Rand constantly dumping on Rand says more about him than anything else lol, get A JOB RAND!!! JK LOL
I think people are cool with cloud gaming Long as it's an option and a secondary but nobody's going to use as their main way to game and that's what Xbox be trying to push it ass and I think that's what people had the problem. I mean people already keep saying cloud gaming is the future but if there was the case, why this stadia failed
Xbox has its 'portal' its your phone screen, best of all you can use your Xbox controller. No additional cost. Or get the Razer Kishi. Much better than an overpriced device like portal.
Its werid people think sony is going to block a Steam console because it would just be a PC in console form factor and the same goes for if Xbox lets you sideload windows they wouldnt be able to really block it.
Be certain, the spiritual or actual sequel of SEKIRO (SEKIRO which Xbox made sure to include in their ABK montage when the deal closed), won’t be on Xbox. Ironic how the tables have turned, right? And it’s nothing short of pure copium if you think SONY & FROM would release another game on Xbox console (not even day one on PC is sure). After buying a couple of publishers and still wanting to buy more, that’s a real FAFO moment for Xbox fans. Karma.
@@hihosilver1234 It’s better for everyone other than platform fanboys. Games will target only one hardware and FROM will get all kinds of support from SIE. That means the games will be even better and that’s what really matters and it’s important at the end of the day.
@namnoc00 I disagree. I'd rather be able to play it where I want than have to be stuck with a platform I don't use or have. Elden Ring and almost every other From game was amazing on each platform, so that proves any future game would be the same. It sounds like you just don't want From game's on Xbox because your bias against the brand?
@@hihosilver1234 Unlike you I have everything, I’m all about the games and examine everything under than light. If your decisions and choices led you to not be able to enjoy the games that you wish, it’s on you. Good luck waiting for FROM games on Xbox and making up stories to validate your feelings.
Yeah, when you put your hand on a hot stove, most folks tend to learn from the experience & stop doing it lol. I went thru 2 Elites with the same issue. Never again! You actually have a better product, buying a cheap wired controller from Walmart
It's crazy.. all i have is ppl randomly pissing and some minor graphical glitches (sometimes). Otherwise smooth sailing, no deadzone issue or crashes (knock on wood).
Do people really think that the Xbox's hardware sell rate is going to change with the snap of a finger? People have to become conditioned and accustomed to Xbox studio games releasing (Game Pass) over time. And this is the first year that meaningful games have actually released one after the other. COD will help sell consoles over the long term, but not the first time it's released on Game Pass. People want to see proof of Xbox's release strategy and this is the first time we are actually seeing it..... COD, Indiana Jones, Avowed. Momentum needs to build.
Great ep guys, really enjoyed the Stalker discussion. I'm completely enamored with this game. Put close to 20 hours into it on my two days off, and all I want to do is play more. It's got issues, but man it's atmosphere is amazing. And I'm really enjoying the gameplay loop, and have a genuine interest in the story.
you can stream xbox games to millions of devices out there a dedicated cloud handheld from xbox is completely pointless when those devices already exist
i’m sorry but can we stop using ubisoft as this big bad guy that does horrible open worlds? i don’t mind the sentiment but ive checked both of your xbox accounts and id say neither of you have played enough ubisoft games to even comment on them. (especially jez) idk why jez went out of his way to play the most obviously trash ubislop games and base his entire opinion off of those two games being star wars outlaws and skull & bones. ubisoft has become a publisher that you can just throw easy shade at while trying to compare games to them but it just comes off as you aren’t able to articulate a real compliment or critique of said game being compared.
@@domotori using ubisoft as an example as much as jez does proves that ubisoft is low hanging fruit to throw easy shade at. if calling this out even though jez is basically parroting what everyone else is saying (bc he doesn’t play ubisoft games) implies i work at ubisoft sure…
Obsidian is mediocre imo. Avowed looks mediocre, Outer Worlds is mediocre, but that being said, I hope Avowed is good, and not just about a bunch of gay shit like most modern RPGs..... Like Jesus.

Right lol

It would make perfect sense for Valve to make a Steam Box again
Why does Jez like Xbox? He doesn't play on the console, and until MS' recent acquisitions they were barely making any games. It makes no sense. lol
He makes a living feeding lies and cope to Xbox fans. That's why.

Ahhh poor babies can't take that people like what they want lol, what poor fan boys these 2 are lol
Xbox is better thats probably why. They prefer it over the alternative platforms its thay simple, just get over it
