Starting point is 00:00:00 Now, for those who don't know what Starfield is, is a Xbox exclusive so that we can not say the Xbox don't have any games any longer, which is unfortunate. But it's a harsh reality for PlayStation fans out there that the GamePas on Microsoft or just the GamePas direction that Microsoft is going seems to be a better longevity play than what PlayStation is currently doing with having exclusives. if that makes sense. Like, PlayStation has the figure heads of exclusives, which is God of War, Horizon, and Spider-Man, of course,
Starting point is 00:00:39 and other ones on top of that. But for the most part, Game Pass, especially post-pandemic, or even during the pandemic, seems to be a more sustainable model because it appeals to every gamer. Like,
Starting point is 00:00:57 who wouldn't pay a certain subscription to have access to a plethora of games. I mean, it's literally the equivalent of paying or monthly payment for Spotify and having access to all the music. Now, obviously, that's a stretch. It's not the same equivalent. You know, some of the music may be missing off.
Starting point is 00:01:15 It's only certain games that's on a Game Pass. But what I'm saying is, you get a lot of bang for your buck. Yes, I just said bang for your buck as the game, when the game pass is concerned. Because high-fi rush, is probably one of the better games out currently that came out this year and that's on the game pass uh you have starfield coming out which is on a game pass you have uh wo long dynasty which is also
Starting point is 00:01:41 on the game pass like that right there are you already got your money back from the the yearly subscription of the game pass i forget how much it is but i think it's around like i don't want to just throw out a number but uh actually let me look that up since this is an x-bark segment we're going to start field being delayed but before we do that let me see how much the xbox game pass is because i'm pretty sure it's not that expensive and what's not expensive is obviously subjective but so it's 15 dollars a month but i know sometimes when it's a year they give you a little bit of a lesser price i mean if you like times 15 by 12 it's usually a lesser price than that let me see the show me Xbox game pass can you pay yearly you can buy a 12 month because it's stackable
Starting point is 00:02:42 I usually buy an entire year when I find a really good game pass ultimate discount okay so you can stack them but you can't get a full year interesting that's very interesting okay so you can you can stack game passes but you can't just buy a full year interesting well anyways it's $15 a month which is uh i mean if you're actually playing a lot of games you can definitely get your i mean new gen games well new gen that's not even the thing what am i saying current current gen games are 70 dollars so if you're paying $15 a month times 12 that's $180 which you know it's a pretty size of amount for a year but let's say you play a game a month you know what I mean 12 times 70
Starting point is 00:03:42 that's 840 so let me come on now you're looking at 180 dollars for a game pass that you can play a whole bunch of games compared to if you play a game a month will cost you a 140 dollars so uh you know it's a pretty sizable difference in that and all I you know it's basically like a seven a hundred dollar difference so uh you know i think you get your bang for your buck i keep saying that i don't know why i keep saying that for the game pass and that's really why i wanted to drive home is that a lot of people are struggling nowadays because you know the pandemic and stuff but um the game pass offers a system to where you can now afford games you might not have have had the money for strictly because you're subscribed to a hub, a gaming hub.
Starting point is 00:04:37 So hopefully that makes sense to y'all. If not, then, you know, I apologize. But anyways, Starfield has been delayed once again. And the only thing about this delay is that we got an actual release day. So it was delayed, quote unquote, because they specifically said, let me see, I know they specifically said this. Because they lie to our faces. I don't like when people get up on their showcases and lie directly to gamers' faces. That's one thing I do not like.
Starting point is 00:05:12 Let me see if I can find this. This don't make any sense. They literally lied directly to our faces. It was kind of, it's one of those bold-faced lies. It was just like, bro, you really didn't have to say that. Like, you could have just said, like, you know, it's going to come out. Like, you didn't have to say, oh, before. Okay, yeah, okay, right here.
Starting point is 00:05:28 So during the Xbox and Bethesda game showcase, immediately after revealing all the games they have for the Xbox Game Pass, right? They said all of these games will come out 12 months from the showcases airing. So at the time, people was like, okay, well, Starfield is coming out, you know, soon, quote unquote. I believe that was like a year, I think that was a year or two ago. So, you know, they just straight up lied to our faces. and that just
Starting point is 00:06:03 as really unfortunate, you know, for a fan base to look for developer showcase to be factual and, you know, actually giving the facts. I mean, why would you go to a random person instead of listen to the vice president of the
Starting point is 00:06:19 company, you know what I'm saying? And for the vice president, just a lot of people's faces acting like all this game is going to come out in a short period of time. Granted, 12 months is not short by any stretch of the imagination when it comes to gaming and gaming development if you know how that process goes but um obviously it was it was in the tuck for a while so they was trying to play it out like a rollout but they failed uh horrendously and now a lot of these
Starting point is 00:06:44 games are getting delayed so anyways i just want to point out that yeah the vice president lied to your faces so uh you know the vice president can lie to you i mean hey i mean who can you believe now that's not just playing so anyways uh starfield is one of those sci-fi RPGs that's coming out and it's highly anticipated. I don't know why. I'm a huge Mass Effect fan. So any sci-fi RPG, you know, I'm not going to knock because, you know, I'm not just going to be like, oh, it's just a Mass Effect clone.
Starting point is 00:07:09 Obviously, you can have his own mechanics that set it apart from the rest of the sci-fi RPGs. But Starfield seems to be a very, very expensive game that's coming out on Xbox. And I have a PlayStation. So I'm not going to be playing that game at all. I'm not buying a whole console for a game. The last time I did that, that was for Spider-Man. And let me tell you, that was money well spent because Spider-Man's on.
Starting point is 00:07:29 my favorite just fictional creations of all time so of course i'm buying a console strictly for that game so anyways uh yeah i won't be playing starfield but i'm definitely not bashing anybody who who plans to buy the game or or and i'm not bashing anybody who's gonna wait the um wade it out to subscribe even further to the game pass because you know teach his own and starfield does seem like a promising game i think it's also multiplayer if i'm not mistaken It may not be multiplayer, so don't quote me on that. I think it's multiplayer. I mean, it's an RPG.
Starting point is 00:08:05 No, I mean, that doesn't just automatically quantify as a multiplayer. I think it is multiplayer, though. If not multiplayer, I think it's co-op. I mean, that's the same thing. When I think a multiplayer, I think PVP. So Starfield, I think, will be co-op, I'm pretty sure. So it's unclear if the September 6th release date will stick for Starfield. but they delayed it from November 11th, 2022.
Starting point is 00:08:33 So delaying it from November 11th. I think that was the first time it was delayed. And now we're well into 2023 at this point. And for it to get delayed again to September 6th, you can probably see where some people will start to be like, okay, how finished is this game if you're pushing it back that much? if you don't know how gaming development works when you push a game back that far
Starting point is 00:09:00 that means like you're working I feel like it means personally because I can't I'm not a game developer but I personally feel like that means you're literally reworking one of the key mechanics of the game like maybe one of the key mechanics was
Starting point is 00:09:13 buggy or it just didn't work in a grand scheme of things that you just have to go in and rework it from the ground from the ground up so when I look at huge delays like this like November 11th to 2022 to September 6th, 2023.
Starting point is 00:09:29 It's a pretty big jump, if I do say so, myself, to rework some things. And yeah, man, hopefully it works out for them. Obviously, I'm never rooting against Microsoft. I love the phrase Xbox has no games because it just rolled off the tongue so, like, graciously, you know what I'm saying? But nowadays, you know, you can't really say that because Xbox Game Pass has been proving to be even more than a formidable foe for that. the PlayStation platform so yeah man click my link to my bio let me know one of my
Starting point is 00:10:00 social medias what do you think about Starfield and the Bethesda sci-fi RPG supposedly coming out September 6th and do you think it will get delayed once again
