About Fortnight on Switch and XB One

Post by GameHED »

It doesn't let you link your account to the sony version:
Sony has become too big now. They won this gen so feel they can treat everyone like shit. "for the players" my butt. Sounds like they are scared everyone will choose the switch release more than ps4. :D (lets you play on the bus)

It's time for microsoft to buy nintendo already. They bought Minecraft. They bought Rare. They once owned bungie which helped bring the FPS genre to consoles. Now they should work towards conquering japan by owning nintendo. Together they can challenge sony. One is big in japan with exclusives people actually give a shit about. The other can get all the western developers and third parties and knows how to handle online game service. Put them together in a 3DO style strategy and they will win.

Crossplay is the future. Sony is holding us all back. You can ALL win if you stop being dicks. It's like the Lord of the Rings. The orcs are the mobile phone gamers. :D And the console giants are the humans, elves and dwarves who are all fucked if they act too selfishly and breaking up the fellowship of the ring.

We talked about this in the last Monday Night Racing. It's a pretty outrageous abuse of power by Sony and you can bet that if it were Microsoft doing it, there'd be a lot more complaining/ whinging on the Ranch and the wider world.

In case any other Ranchers are tempted to post the hilarious and not at all stale enter/leave gif instead of engaging with the topic, the short version is:
You can set up a Fortnite account on the PC, Xbox, or Switch, buy DLC, earn XP, and change between those platforms every day depending on what's convenient for you. However, as soon as you log on to the PS4 with that account, you are now locked to just PS4 and PC. You can never use the DLC and XP you've earned on the Xbox or Switch, even if you had used the Microsoft Store or Nintendo Store to buy the DLC.

I can see you're new here.

1. The In Out gift is hilarious.

2. Engaging in a topic that GH creates does not generate an intelligent conversation when he goes on about mind control, SJW, Lizardmen and Anal Probes. He also hasn't played Conan.

3. The In Out Gif is s not stale.

4. Welcome the the Ranch.

Nobody trusts you 100% tomby. You are sony's biggest fanboy here after lambchop left. Sony isn't invincible and it is up to the xbots and nintendrones to look for the weaknesss in the armor to see if they can survive in case of another monopoly. If sony wins too much they go back to being mean to all the buyers. That's what this thread is about. Trust nobody. Sony also has the rights to he-man live action movie. Hopefully this doesn't end up sucking. With shows like Game of Thrones they can take advantage of the interest in fantasy movies and books and shows and make He-Man an amazing flick with the right people. I expect a horror and dark fantasy flick. Darker than the DC Universe. Skeletor should be fucking terrifying.

For those who want problem-free future we should encourage companies to work together instead of making life harder for the end users.

Imagine you are a kid at school and half your friends at school own ps4 and the other half own xb one or switch? It's a pain in the butt to have to change accounts. Sony has to be called out on the bullshit and the other members here that point it out are right on that point. You surely agree right? This isn't a console wars topic or troll. This is valid concern by fans of gaming in general. Sony know they are full of crap and they hide behind the idea that they are saving the children lol

As consoles become more and more pc-like people are going to push for more crossplay between platforms. You are all in danger of being killed off by mobile gaming.

As tomby says, GH created topics are pointless. He soon goes off topic, generally blames PC gamers for the decline of the gaming in general, goes off on conspiracy tangents, becomes abusive to those that call him on his BS and generally continues to duck Candy at Street Fighter. Shame otherwise because at times he finds news items worth talking about.

But pc gamers are responsible for the decline. Without Half Life 3 what's the point of owning one? Consoles can do the same shit now pretty much. But you can do even more like play games on the bus. I'm just warning you of the changes in attitude that are happening now. PC used to be the king when Doom came out in the early 90s and pc gamers were proud that FPS was not on console much. Then MS came along with bungie, halo was made, and then all these COD titles, which made it ok to like FPS on console with analogue controllers bringing the genre to the couch.
What is left for PC? To whine and port beg. I;m just saying each platform is good but consoles are still alive because people are on level playing field. A lot of these guys want console gamers to die rather than pc to succeed like me.
They see underpowered systems as bad but it keep the developers alive so they can profit. Mobile gaming was supposed to kill nintendo and that never happened just like pc can't kill off console. I was right and if pc wants to be cool again it needs exclusive stuff like in the old days. (when games like daggerfall and ultima were the king)

It all started to suck at the time diablo 3 came to pc. That's when pc was doomed and when consoles became more awesome. (the console port of diablo 3 > pc version which is the platform diablo originated on lol ) What MS did when they brought open world games like Elder Scrolls to xbox was that console can have those experiences from the platforms. Things change and pc fans need to admit we own your arse.
