I got pretty drunk and played war zone last night. It was actually fun.
It's a blast if you're playing with buddies. The fact that you can play cross-platform is great too. I can play with friends that I've never been able to play other games with before. Plus the game is free. I think they did a pretty damn good job with it.

Yeah, I hopped in with a friend on ps4(both of us) and his other friend was pc and his uncle Xbox. Friggin crazy.
I played Sunday with a bunch of randoms, with no mics, and no general organization, and it suuuucked.

I literally won't play unless I have buddies with me. 9 times out of 10 when you play with randoms it's a complete shit show. Not even worth it.

Outer Worlds. I’ll answer with a screenshot I took while playing.

Interesting that they're going to have a "digital only" console. Sort of makes me think the price tag on this one is going to be on the high side.

Also hope that I don't have to keep the console standing up...always preferred keeping it flat.

Spider-Man was one of my favorite games in the past I don’t know how many years. I’m not familiar with miles morales outside of into the spider verse, but I am very excited for this.

I was getting an Xbox anyways, but digital only is a hard pass.

Digital only where? You mean the one version of the PS5?

I believe Lockhart is coming out that is going to either be something similar or take it one step further and be like a Stadia, where it uses your network and cloud computing to run your games.

Oh, I thought I saw that digital only was the only option.

Enjoy uh....Halo?
I certainly will. It’s more appealing to me than any PS exclusive, without a doubt.

Outside of that, 99% of the games I'm interested in are non-exclusive, so I have little issue with missing out on the Playstation exclusives.

Plus, the Xbox's backwards compatibility is huge to me. I still have every game I've ever bought, so I like to have the option of going back and playing them.

Oh god no.

Disk/digital version and digital only version.

Also, to think that it's going to be $800 is f***ing delusional. It would be company suicide.
I'm expecting $400-500.

$800 would keep lots of people away. Especially kids asking their parents for a console. At this point Sony and Microsoft are probably making most of their money off of online fees anyways, so priority is getting people on their consoles, not doing things to keep them away.
