Video Game Thread - $70 Zelda Expansion!

Serious taek: I don't really see how this is good news for the end consumer?

-Exclusivity is bad, and while it doesn't sound like Bethesda's publicly committing to that either way yet, I'd bet on at least timed exclusivity for major releases. Maybe I'm too cynical, but I don't think it's a coincidence that this news is dropping a week before next gen Xbox preorders go on sale, either, and that timing is CONCERNING.
-Ask Rare and Blizzard (and, for that matter, Bungie) how adding another layer of bureaucracy to their studios went. Maybe Bethesda will be different (they're certainly *bigger* than either of those studios were at the time of their sales/mergers/buyouts/whatever), but these sorts of deals don't exactly have good track records. I can't imagine Microsoft is going to be hands-off with their brand new $7.5BB investment, either.

GamePass is pretty easily the best deal in videogames now, though, and this is a huge feather in Xbox's cap. I just don't think it should be, uh, celebrated from a consumer/gamer perspective.

FALLOUT NEW VEGAS 2 WHEN
 
That looks pretty sweet. Should I switch my preorder from PS5 to Xbox? Im pretty impartial but will only be getting 1 of them
 
Does this mean the OGBoards server is getting an upgrade?

That’s about as much as Disney paid for Marvel and Lucasfilm combined.

That’s over three times what Tepper paid for the Panthers.

DCDeacon’s Deacon Club rep has already called him. Maybe he can speed up that Manning buyout. Maybe get Clawson a new DC.

Wasn't a call, but I did note how long it was before I got an email. 67 minutes, in case you're wondering.
 
I mean an email over a personal call pretty much sums up the Wake Athletic department, you pretty much have to donate now to reserve your seat at the table of mediocrity.
 
My favorite factoid that came out of the Microsoft/Bethesda news is that Cal Ripken Jr. is on the board at Bethesda. How did he swing that?
 
I've seen @dealvibes tweeting about it, but probably still too early for restocks

I dont think Amazon or Costco have gone live with their presale links yet
 
Waiting on All Access. Looks like I have to actually wait until launch day for that.
