Guys... A Series S powered handheld is gonna cost $1000, lol. So now xbox is gonna have 4 different SKUs going? That's not gonna happen. Unless they truly don't know what they are doing.

Bro... Cog talking smack as a package delivery game, while praising Hellblade 2. This son of gun.

I enjoy the GOTY conversations. Brad is definitely the one I connect with his choices for each year.

It’s funny Cog bringing up the Ghost’s forced PSN login. PC players absolutely do play the game of signing into multiple accounts to play their games, just look at basically any popular multiplayer game or store front on PC. Sony’s no different and their games are worth signing in for

I see Microsoft pushing Game Pass on any platform willing, cell phones included, over them doing a dedicated handheld. As a Vita Island survivor, I would ❤️ an Xbox console that I could ‘Switch’ up… I just don’t see it happening, with MS’s subtle focus on Cloud gaming. Hope I am wrong.

I’m definitely not an apologist for Borderlands 3 BUT the slide and tuck behind cover maneuverability in BL3 is incredibly missed, when I revisit Borderlands 2 (my favorite of the series, overall). I will say, my worry for the Borderlands franchise is that it will experience a Saint’s Row trajectory.
