New Xbox Game HAS HUGE LAUNCH | Mega Sony Acquisition Just Became Real | News Dose

[@corey2232]

STALKER 2 is now up to a "Very Positive" on Steam, so I guess the recent patches are helping a lot.

@SupahSonyGurl 15,000+ reviews, still sitting at 80% positive.

​@@corey2232the fact that people worry about small graphics improvements like this is a joke, there hasn't been a huge change since like 360/ps3 to xboxone/ps4 at all.

People talked about Starfield like it was failure after launch. Adding 2 million new players should be seen as a win.

[@christonchev9762]

y and thats for the 2nd years like i haven't seen a game after 2 years to have so many players playing it well maybe apart from GTA5 tho this is also a MP Game while Starfield ain;t

[@Lucky8Bastard]

Also Bethesda and Microsoft estimated a revenue of ~$600 millions in the first year. They surpassed this goal by the end of 2023 (so in ~4 months since release). The game wasn't in everyone's favor but everyone has to admit that it was a huge success for a new IP.

[@UwUOwl]

Please don't let Sony buy Fromsoft. All they know how to do now is lose money. As a PS5 owner and someone who enjoys it more than my Series, Fromsoft games need to stay neutral.

[@SupahSonyGurl]

Its over for xbox guys, fromsoft is bigger than Activision aciqusition! Thats why i dont date u xbox guy's

[@pyromd69]

With acquisitions all departments/staff have a chance to air potential grievances and majority of each department needs to agree for it to go ahead, so hopefully FromSoft are against it as then there is a chance they could be spun off and they have a chance to buy themselves off of Kodakowa similar to what happened with Toys for Bob after Xbox acquisition of ABK

Yea well the thing is is that sony will lock whatever games they have on their own platform and fail over and over again. They don't get it, you need some games multiplatform and some exclusive...in first party. They don't know how to do anything except buy timed third party exclusives.

15 Million players reached already, eh? Not too shabby... Respect. It would be nice if, one day, a modder improves the gameplay from the 3rd-person perspective. Because my goodness, does that perspective meed some work. If that gets done, I would be able to enjoy that game as well.

[@stewarde17]

yes, but playing is a very subjective term considering it free with gamepass and it does not mention how long they played for. It not as bellwether as sold 20 million copies or x amount of people have completed the game.

[@BrotherKnowledge.]

@@stewarde17 What you say is both true and... ... completely irrelevant. The term "playing" was never used. They reported that the game had reached 15 million players. It is already understood that reaching so many players does not mean that X amount of people are continuously playing said game. Nor does it mean that X amount of people have finished said game. Nor does it mean that X amount of people have bought that game. Side Note: 20 million sales doesn't equal 20 million people playing the game, by the way. People buy games that they don't play all the time. We tend to call those "backlog games."

[@stewarde17]

@@BrotherKnowledge. yes but difference is that money go into the hands of the publishers and developers where very little of starfields cash will go into coffers of Bethesda because Players don't = cash. Players played is a very meaningless stat.

[@BrotherKnowledge.]

@@stewarde17 1) That's not my concern. As it stands, I don't even like the game, so Bethesda not making money on a game I don't like doesn't move me one bit. But even if I did lioe the game, that still wouldn't matter because GamePass charges a monthly fee to be used. At 20 bucks a month, any person who has used GamePass for three months has already paid Xbox for that game. Green is green. It doesn't matter if the green is paid via GamePass or a direct purchase, green is green.

[@Lucky8Bastard]

@@stewarde17 What we know: Starfield was the most played RPG by playtime in 2023, even ~15% more playtime compared to Baldurs Gate 3, which released earlier and on all platforms. Starfield was also one of the most sold and played games on steam in 2023 (steam itself stated this).

Kadakawa and sony merging will be awful for anime distribution in the west. Fromsoft is such a small part of that acquisition. Of course sony will make their games exclusive. Its not wven a question. Maybe pc releases later.

[@jimmythegamer2231]

Sony will not make FromSoft's games exclusive, PlayStation isn't the one acquiring FromSoft. Sony is. FromSoft and Kadokawa will be treated like Aniplex or Bungie e.g. entirely separate from PlayStation Studios. Unless Sony wants to bankrupt the entire Kadokawa gaming division, that is

I will buy a copy to support them.

[@MichelleAlexandria-EM]

Honestly, I don't play any game on day one. I wait a few months and I rarely have any issues

[@jurassictyrantkingYT]

I'm far more concerned about the Japanese anime and manga part of the business being affected by Sony's purchase because let's just be honest judging by how Sony has treated Crunchyroll their Japanese anime streaming service like crap and the quality of Japanese anime under their control being censored and the quality being literally diminished under the Crunchyroll Banner it's pretty reasonable for a lot of people that they don't trust Sony to not screw this up especially the anime and manga community.

[@christonchev9762]

thing is they need to get approval from the FTC/EU/UK and Japan Regulatorys

[@jurassictyrantkingYT]

@christonchev9762 Agreed 🤝

[@psykorobot6807]

I think US regulators will have some issues with it because they already had concerns about the FUNimation and Crunchyroll acquisition. Sony almost immediately closed down FUNimation and forced everyone into Crunchyroll at higher costs while cutting their access to the content they had at FUNimation. Sony has raised prices to Crunchyroll tiers a few times since that buyout. That does not make a good argument for Sony to buy Kadokawa but just proof they will consolidate control and cost consumers more. So, I can see the US being far more concerned than one would think. As for Japan, regulators have been dealing industry complaints about Sony's monopoly status with respect anime streaming and locking out competition. Plus, Sony has similar distribution control outside the Japan with respect to anime and manga. Even if Crunchyroll isn't as big in the West as it is Japan, Sony still controls access (think of them as Ticketmaster for anime) and you have to go through them to get access to a lion share of content they ither own outright are represent as distributer. As for From Software will we see what happens there, that may be even an issue that bites Sony in the ass because of some of the IPs reach as multi-platform blockbusters and all the whining Sony did about MS was going bankrupt them without COD on their system. Meanwhile as part of the ABK hearings regulators in EU got a quick lesson on the gaming industry, an industry they had never paid much attention to, and it became quite aware Sony's size and influence being well over 70% control of the market Sony itself defined as high-end consoles. As for From, Software isn't actually a fully owned property of Kadokawa. I wouldn't be surprised if Ten Cent Holdings makes a counteroffer to buy From Software as it stands. They also have a fairly large interest in expanding their anime assets. Ten Cent Holdings may just counter Sony's offer. They definitely have far more financial resources to make any cash offer they want ($50+ billion cash on hand). I don't see a reason they wouldn't if they had designs in From Software as they invested in the studio far more than Sony is. At some point they are going to have to buy out some of the companies they are vested in, or they will see more and more taken away. BTW, for people thinking this means a possible Bloodborne II. Sony owns that IP. There was nothing ever stopping Sony from making a Bloodborne II these years. Either having one of their current first-party studios make it or paying From Software again to do it, or hire some other second party studio do it. The fact is I don't think Sony is going to do anything with that IP with or without owning From Software.

[@christonchev9762]

y i also think that Nintendo may also step in

i think this is a two way street. stalker 2 should be a reminder that we should be nice to developers no matter what not just cause they are going through something real and scary. by doing this we are gonna see the game get updated faster and the updates will be coming from a place that is meaningful instead of resentful. this is just my guess of what’s going to happen with stalker. never seen a game launch this bad and see the community support them still, gonna see what happens when we criticize through a caring place rather than a hateful one.

[@mummynapkin.]

it’s kinda like screaming at the customer service at a restaurant about prices instead of seeing the bigger picture. sure sometimes there are bad people in the business but they are mostly good and screaming at the wrong people will only bring you worse product instead of going after the actual problem being the higher ups in most cases and speaking with your wallet or attacking their sponsors if it’s really bad. idk any developer that wants to put out an unfinished product but it’s mostly never up to them. speak critically with love towards these individuals and you’ll get the product we deserve in time. it’s frustrating but this is simply the landscape of gaming now and attacking devs is aiming the gun at the wrong person resulting in worse product and creation out of resentment which is always bad for both parties

[@psykorobot6807]

To be honest I think Microsoft would welcome Sony making this move. It would be the most opportune time for MS to make another big purchase of their own that Phil has been alluding to recently. What could Sony do? Whine about it to the EU or CMA while they (the market leader 5 to 1 in Europe, 3 to 1 in UK) are trying to buy Kadokawa (From Software).

[@jimmythegamer2231]

It would just give Microsoft an excuse to buy even more publishers

[@alfredolangarica6824]

As some others had said the problem here aren't exactly the games which I think most of them will be multiplatform, but the thing is the anime, Sony is getting the whole power over anime and that's a big concern, I'm not even a huge anime Fan but I can see the consequences of this deal going through

[@szproductions1]

The Kadokawa acquisition has nothing to do with games. This purchase is for anime plain and simple. From, Spikechun soft, and Acquire will remain multiplat and even with Sony owning a majority share of From they will still find partners to publish its games. Over the past 48 hours I've seen this take of From going exclusive and I'm like what world do you live in? Think of it like how Microsoft acquired ABK. Microsoft didn't buy it to make games exclusive or to benefit its customers outside of Game Pass subscribers. They bought it to further its business in mobile and PC. Kadokawa and Sony merging is more for Sony to further its monopoly in anime.

[@reedk2402]

Ya, I don’t see EU or US regulators have an issue with the sale as the main issue is the anime/magna side and it’s not a huge concern to those country’s. Now if Japan regs go hard against it they will follow as a show of solidarity and to put pressure on Sony for sure. Otherwise they won’t care.

[@chrisdominuez1198]

How can any xbox fan say anything if sony buys kadakowa and from soft when microsoft just paid atcblizz millions to acquire them stop the nonsense kadakowa and sony have that kind of relationship in japan sony already own 15% of kadakowa

microsoft isn't gatekeeping the entire industry or trying to monopolize it. Sony actively is. is your dumbass still playing COD on PS? yup, cause Microsoft isn't a jackass like Sony.

I guess there will be 2 options if sony will buy Kadokawa (with fromsoftware): #1 Sony will need to keep offering upcoming FromSoftware-games to all platforms (like Microsoft agreed to in front of the court for the activision-blizz-deal) #2 Microsoft will make another big purchase because then they have less problems doing that since sony got another studio too

Crazier how most of them are remasters or literally PS4 games, they should be running better for $800

[@SotNist]

Crazy how cross gen Gran Turismo 7 already looked better than current gen only Forza Motorsport on just base PS5 to begin with, but now it runs 4K 100+ with ray tracing, locked 4K 120, or 8K 30 and looks even more next gen for only $700. Meanwhile the $600 Galaxy Series X and $4000 4090 PC's are choking on Stalker 2, barely maintaining 40 fps and looking like a Bethesda game from 10 years ago, while the Switch gets 15 fps on WiiU games for $400.

@@SotNist now you'll be able to do all the grinding in style... Or just pay those convenience fees

[@SotNist]

It's called playing the game. But go ahead and show me your 100% complete car collection in Forza Horizon 5 and Motorsport 8 that you instantly unlocked on day one without ever completing a single race 👍

[@EvadXocliw]

Stalker 2 on Xbox is busted at launch, as most bigger games are. One look at the user reviews confirms this, with a good number of reviews saying they’re going to wait for a patch before they’ll go back to give it another chance. Fortunately for me, I have plenty of other games to play, so I’m not reliant on Stalker 2 delivering anything right now. Oh, and Starfield is trash, and I take every opportunity I can to say so.

[@jimmythegamer2231]

If you think Starfield is trash, then that means your taste in games is trash. You have an unhealthy obsession with Bethesda and Starfield if you literally cannot stop shitting on the game whenever someone brings it up. It's been more than a year now, grow up. But maybe telling you to grow up is asking too much from an anti-woke Grummz stan like you. Edit: I like how you didn't deny the anti-woke Grummz stan part because you know it's true. You're one of those sheep that blindly follows what grifting rage bait KZbinrs tell you to. I'm willing to bet money that you didn't even play Starfield. The only reason why you have an obsession with the game is because it's "woke" and any game that's woke is automatic garbage according to fools like you. Chances are you already made your mind up about Starfield without even laying a finger on it.

[@EvadXocliw]

@, when Starfield is in the news, it’s perfectly healthy to call trash trash. A game that’s actually worse than previous releases from the same studio. How is that possible? I would say that anybody that props up a game that’s worse than a company’s previous releases has a trash opinion of what a good game is, as Starfield is GARBAGE in comparison to Skyrim or New Vegas.

But frankly, even if you weren't so staunchly anti-woke, trying to trash a game whenever anyone merely brings it up is objectively unhealthy. It shows that you're insecure. I don't know why. Maybe cuz it threatens your political beliefs or something, or because Todd Howard killed your family, but regardless of the reason, insecurity and obsessive negatively ruins gaming discourse.

Here's a little bad news: there are a lot of technical issues with Stalker 2. 😂

[@Roe777]

The original Stalker was great for its era, sad to see the sequel as Game Pass slop

[@Gh05tm4ch1n3]

And yet you can buy it without and on other platforms like playstation. Its getting hate for no good reason. Its a good game with a lot of things going on which unfortunately create its own issues.

[@bobhawkins9598]

What stalker 2 has a huge launch its another pile of broken buggy downgraded trash for the bums, they love crap for some reason

[@gilly261085]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡🤡

[@MichelleAlexandria-EM]

Critics are hypocrites. When its an Xbox Game bugs are the only thing critics focus on. Everyone else "Oh, this game has some bugs. It'll be patched. 9 out of 10!" Just look at games like Wokon, Silent Hill, FF VII, Spider-Man 2. Bugs are completely ignored and brushed aside. But an Xbox game? That's all that matters.

[@countquackula8539]

Those issues were minimal. You could still play those games comfortably. Stalker 2 just feels unfinished.

Fyi: PS5 doesn't have a web browser cuz they don't want you streaming Gamepass.

[@fishmo_mofish]

Not required but if it helps you sleep at night, keep believing that. Sony's Hideaki Nishino says: "We have doubts about whether a web browser is necessary for a game console as an app, so we'll have to wait and see."

[@fishmo_mofish]

It actually does have a Web browser but wouldn't run gamepass as it won't have the necessary software within the browser.

It doesn’t matter what metacritic says because they are always going to crap on Xbox and fanboy for PS

[@countquackula8539]

That's not true. Just look at the Horizons Lego game. Nobody gave Sony any favors. Stalker 2 is a game with a lot of technical issues. This whole Xbox tax is nonsense.

[@turner373]

Metacritic just aggregates reviews scores. They do not review anything.

[@megilacuttyjones735]

I love stalker2. Also PS5 pro sucks. My bro has it. We both also have a ps5. The ps5 is very boring. I warned him not to get a PS5 pro because it doesn't have games. He didnt listen. Hes pissed and trying to see his pro already. He wants a series x because he likes the one i have. He could get a sx or PC with gp... but i think hes done with PlayStation now for good.. after being loyal for many generations. Also, starfield is nice. Its better than any first party sony game this generation
