So M$ is gobbling up Activision/Blizzard!?

[stu]

He's an idiot. Logic escapes him at every turn Stu.

Just look at that goofy (Captain Obvious) post he made about those Sonic games, as if those games requiring the internet adds anything to the discussion.

LOL I know, he doesn't have a clue. I've got one of those Sega PC DVD discs for Sonic All Star Racing Transformed and it is basically an install disc for Steam .. nothing else. There's no game files of any kind on the disc. WTF does he think Steam has to do with GamePass anyway?? LOL Insane. At least with Steam (and the Epic Store) they give away free games regularly and I don't have to pay a freaking monthly fee for that privilege, unlike Xbox Live gold and PS Plus.


Back on topic
Anyway I've been browsing other forums and some people are speculating that this MS-Activision tie-up may end up with Microsoft using it as leverage to have Game Pass "sideloaded" somehow on to PlayStation .. that is pretty far fetched and crazy to think about, but I think that happening would be just too much for little console warriors like TA to handle ...lol #xbotmindblown

Some other things that people are speculating is that Microsoft's next target may be Square Enix, not sure how that would turn out since I believe Sony own a chunk of stock in SE, some are saying that the western side of SE (think Eidos and Crystal Dynamics) may end up going to MS and Sony would pick up the rest. Just conjecture right now

Sony sold off its 20% share in SE ages and ages ago.

[gamevet]

They sold back their shares to Square-Enix. Sony bailed Square out, when they went bust from making The Spirits Within movie.

[Leynos]

I can't quote Barone I get some error messages. Altered Beat has a reboot on PS2 in Japan so it did have a sequel of sorts. Besides, it was just a random name of IPs. Replace it with any SEGA IP you want.

Stu,

I made sure to say it was more than just about the Xbox or PC, and talked of the 'Cloud' which is MS hope to get Gamepass into billions of homes across the world. If this was SONY buying Take-Two you think the SONY fans wouldn't cheer it and welcome it, Restera & NeoGAF would go into meltdown. It's like in sport, when your team spending big or doing well, it's great and even better if your rival is having an offseason. It's all childish and a lot of tosh bit its fun and banter at the end of the day. Just like Man U fans cry foul now that Man City is spending and winning titles, quick enough to give it, not so hot at taking it back.

It's funny you tried to call me out for insults and yet you let rip. Also, my whole point of Sonic Gen PC was it didn't matter if you bought the game physically, you needed a steam account and unlike Sonic Transformed it also came with a disc. I even made sure to picture the disc, you nasty evil little man
Like I said, to game on the PC these days you need the internet So to see Gamevet call that out is laughable, just like your utter hypocrisy over insults. Thanks for telling the gaming world if you game on PC, you need the internet. So all issues over gamepass or physical media are void if you're a PC gamer


I like XBox and am very happy MS is spending big on the division and that the Xbox is here to stay. The only ones not happy are the usual Xbox haters or SONY fans like you.

What goes around, comes around.

[Thenewguy]

This place heheh

I'm just imagining the year 2060 -

Sega-16 will all be a virtual reality space where people can interact with each other. Old man Team Andromeda will still be arguing with old man Gamevet, who will start beating him over the head with a virtual cane, Barone will be roused from his virtual board game "will you two stop arguing for one second!" he'll likely shout, Baloo will look up and say "eh? what are you two arguing about now? Let me go find my hearing aid" and he'll shuffle off with his virtual zimmer frame. MrMatthews will be quietly sitting by the virtual window, staring out to the virtual garden, a wool rug laid out across his lap.

Leynos will be debating the current state of Sega with the younger members of the site "Sega aren't what they used to be back in the 2020s!" he'll be lamenting "back when they were releasing classic IPs like Yakuza and Persona" now long left dormant, the reply he'll get will likely be something like "Those IPs were never really popular! Sega's new games are bigger than they ever were! they're sold across three different planets worth of people now!"

[Team Andromeda]

Still, a nice community, bar a few members horrible insults,, but nothing beats a bit of banter

I plan on praising SEGA, Jackie Chan, Ferrari and loving Xbox for the next 30 years. I still live in hope Max and Andreas will kiss (pardon the pun) and makeup and we'll have the original Sepultura doing a tour

What goes around
Comes around
You're going down
Down, Down SONY :P


Viva La Raza XBOX

Your point about Sonic on the PC not really being the physical game is you being Captain Obvious TA. Anybody that has gamed on a PC for the past 10 years knows that. The physical media you pop into your PS4/5 or Xbox One/Series consoles isn’t the full game either. Forza Horizon 5 is around 100 GB of data, which no single BR disc is capable of holding. You need the internet to actually play that game on Xbox. Resistance 3 won’t even work on the PS3 without a patch and the early PS3 consoles can’t even install it right; all you get is a black screen when trying to play the game. Physical media for gaming is pretty much dead. The case and CD are just there to make you believe that you own a physical copy of the game.

[Team Andromeda]

I know Mr Vet, which was why your outburst or physical media was a little suspect. You know there are some Switch games that are so large you need to download the rest of the content because the media can't hold it all.
It's not like any true gamer around the world isn't already on the web,

You speak of Resistance 3, can you go online with that these days?

[gamevet]

My point was why are you bringing it up, Mr. Andromeda? It’s a well known fact and useless to the discussion.

I barely played Resistance 2 online and never had any intentions of playing 3 online either. I love the campaigns and weapons. Those online servers have been down for nearly a decade, but the patches are still available to install the game.

@ TA - what the heck are you babbling about now? I'm going to respond to individual quotes because I had to wade through your rambling nonsense.

I made sure to say it was more than just about the Xbox or PC, and talked of the 'Cloud' which is MS hope to get Gamepass into billions of homes across the world. If this was SONY buying Take-Two you think the SONY fans wouldn't cheer it and welcome it, Restera & NeoGAF would go into meltdown.

From what I've seen on here, nobody really gives a crap who buys Activision, then only one who does is the YOU, prancing around in your green Xbox cheerleader outfit like an idiot shaking your little green pom poms chanting stupid shit like "Viva La Raza XBOX" "GO team XBOX !!!" and "Down, Down SONY". And you wonder why people on here are calling you names like dumbass etc?


Seriously, if you want to piss off Sony fanboys go and post that crap on "Restera & NeoGAF"

It's funny you tried to call me out for insults and yet you let rip.

I never called you out for anything, you fool, I was pointing out the hypocrisy of Baloo telling people to quit insulting you and then him calling people who like anime themed games "weeboos" - try learning to read.

you nasty evil little man

There you go TA, does that make you feel better? Good

I like XBox and am very happy MS is spending big on the division and that the Xbox is here to stay. The only ones not happy are the usual Xbox haters or SONY fans like you.

What goes around, comes around.

There you go with childish console warrior crap again, geeez give it a break.

Microsoft has always spent their way into the gaming industry, one of the first things they did was buy RARE and then tried to buy up Nintendo (but got laughed at by Nintendo's management and told to fuck off.

Their move surprised absolutely no one. If Sony had done it then people would say the same thing, both Sony and Microsoft have bought their way into gaming.

[Leynos]

Just make a forum section just for TA where every thread he talks to a bot praising MS and he can E stroke with it. I'm sure Papa Phil will thank TA for his amazing years of loyalty with a big award ceremony.

I don't care about Activision myself, it's more the intent, I care about and how Xbox is here to stay. . I made sure to talk of the Xbox Cloud, PC and Xbox Console; MS doesn't care on which you game, as long as you use their products and services.
SONY spent their way to way into the industry too, only a few of their studios was actually set up by SONY, the rest were bought, just like with SONY film and music empire

And Viva La Raza and the rest if a bit of fun and banter, C'Mon just like in football/sports. It's not in any way meant to be serious and just pee take from my fav bands Sepultura and Brujeria.
Its like how the Man Utd fans are now upset, that Man City can outspend them and win more than them. It's all a bit of banter and fun when your team is on the ascendancy

I

[gamevet]

SHUT UP ALREADY!

Are you trying to get banned?

[Barone]

Xbox is here to stay.

Yay TA! You picked the right side this time!!!
OMG Microsoft has finally avenged Sega!!!!!!!! Go Phil, go!!!

Sony lost the console wars thanks to people like you TA; oh, man, you're a true hero! A true Sega man!

Now write another letter to Santa and tell him that you want MS to buy Sega! They'll bring back the super scalers and have the next Xbox with an ASIC for sprite scaling just like the Mega CD had.
Go TA! It's your time to shine, make us proud! Now that you and MS have defeated evil Sony all we need is your help to put Sega back on top.

Maybe a good time for the Dreamcast 2 or the Xbox Dream; with MS using Sega's IPs to finally push bloody Nintendo out of the business.

Oh, wow, TA; you're a legend. Keep up the good work!
