I have seen how it is suppossed to look.

I ended up skipping that part of the tutorial since I just couldn't do it.

blazeblue may be the game that will finally make me get in the fighting game genre.

not like dead or alive 6 and skullgirls.those are not begginer friendly.(I am pretty much convinced that skullgirls was meant specifically for pro-players).

A critical eye is not a no. It’s a critical eye. And while I’m not saying I agree with the acquisition, there is no solid legal standpoint to block it, and if anyone did they’d immediately be contested. It’s going to go through.

Call of Duty is literally the fourth biggest franchise in all of gaming, after Mario, Tetris, and Pokemon. By itself, the merger is big enough to warrant investigation by regulator bodies, and that's before you factor in all the other IPs which Microsoft would acquire with the merger on top of that, like Diablo, Overwatch, Tony Hawk, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, etc etc.

A single Call of Duty game has outsold the lifetime sales of any franchise on OP's list. A single Call of Duty game has outsold the lifetime sales of the entire original Halo trilogy.

Pretending it's just another game series which can be easily replaced is fucking asinine.

Almost like making Bethesda's new game Starfield a Microsoft exclusive costs them billions to stick it to Sony would be shooting themselves in the foot? That exact thing that happened?

Microsoft said they'd decide it on a case by case basis, and every case has been for exclusivity. Regulators are not morons who say "Tee-hee, you got us!"

Microsoft violated the spirit of their agreement with regulators with Bethesda merger, so those same regulators aren't going to take them at their word now.
