They can limit the amount of XP by merely playing the matches, and thus encourage players to do the challenges. But no XP at all is a very hardcore decision, esp when they decided to make MP free for everyone.
Quake was never my favorite franchise, However, I prefer Quake 2 over others. Although, I have to confess I had good time also with Quake 3 Arena back in early 2000s.
Yesss! thats it. Day 1 purchase for me. the best survival horror after RE1 and RE2 is back. We owe this remake to the huge success of RE2 remake. Therefore, thanks Capcom. However, one thing worries me:
"And it will likely bring in new gameplay mechanics inspired by other entries in the franchise."
Love everything "Alien". However, I preferred a single-player story-driven campaign over co-op shooter genre. I will get the game if the reviews will be favorable.
Not the fan of these co-op action RPGs. But thanks to the Game pass, I have already pre-loaded the game. This is one of the greatest benefits and attractions of Game pass for me which let me try games that I would never buy otherwise.
@leathco Same here. It seems that some games never or rarely go on sale, so if you want them either you have to wait for an indeterminate amount of time, or buy them at full price.
While Xbox show was good, I was blown away by Nintendo. Who can stand a 2D Metroid, Advance Wars Remake, and Shin Megami Tensei V at the same time. For me, the winner was Nintendo.
Goodjob. Keep up with the good work. This genre diversity is very essential for popularity of Game Pass and Xbox hardware. One of the main reason of Sony's success is their ability to make their platform a plural enviroment. Limiting the platform to shooters is the defection that MS should overcome.
Honestly, the E3 show was more of a Gampass show than the traditional console show. What was interesting was not the so-called exclusives (their quantity or quality), but the quantity of "day one" AAA gampass titles, regardless of their status in other consoles.
Although I have Gamepass, it will be the day 1 purchase for me. Amidst of these mindless co-op shooters and rogue-like indie games, this one shines like a star.
Too many co-op shooters. Only one interesting J-style game (that Suikoden clone). Halo aside, I am not interested in other announcments. Although, most of them are great games for their fans. Xbox seriously should work on getting more Japanese games.
As of now, Xbox approach is more consumer-friendly. I remember during PS3/X360 era, PS was more consumer-friendly with their free online gaming and great deals on PS Plus sub. That's why competition is good for the consumer. Provided that consumers cease to be a stupid fanboys, and always ready to jump ship to the more consumer friendly company.
Same here, while I had owned all PS consoles, I have to say non of their first party exclusives is appealing to me, save for GT2 on PS1 and Kill Zone 3 on PS3. The only attraction of Sony console for me was their third party Japanese games, a thing which Xbox is seriously lacking.
Yessssssssssss. A darker DQ game. That is what I wanted. Since my main problem with the previous one was its being too much light hearted. Dark and adult DQ game has higher chance of coming to western countries and Xbox. I hope it stays safe from Sony's exclusive plague.
Xbox raised the consoles's techincal standards (their introduction of HDD and Xbox Live service). Also, they bridged the gap between PC and Console gaming by bringing PC hits and acclaimed PC developers to Console market. And now, Gamepass is another permanent improvement to console gaming, which eventually will be adopted by the competition.

Re: Strangely, Halo Infinite Won't Give You XP For Just Playing Matches
They can limit the amount of XP by merely playing the matches, and thus encourage players to do the challenges. But no XP at all is a very hardcore decision, esp when they decided to make MP free for everyone.

Yesss! thats it. Day 1 purchase for me. the best survival horror after RE1 and RE2 is back. We owe this remake to the huge success of RE2 remake. Therefore, thanks Capcom. However, one thing worries me:

I smell some co-op abomination here.

Re: Xbox Scoops 'Best Presentation' At E3 2021, Forza Horizon 5 Wins 'Most Anticipated Game'

Re: Reaction: Xbox Just Had Its Best E3 Showcase In Years, And Game Pass Was The Star
Honestly, the E3 show was more of a Gampass show than the traditional console show. What was interesting was not the so-called exclusives (their quantity or quality), but the quantity of "day one" AAA gampass titles, regardless of their status in other consoles.

Re: Poll: How Would You Grade Xbox & Bethesda's E3 2021 Showcase?
Too many co-op shooters. Only one interesting J-style game (that Suikoden clone). Halo aside, I am not interested in other announcments. Although, most of them are great games for their fans. Xbox seriously should work on getting more Japanese games.

Re: Xbox Boss Congratulates Sony's Insomniac Games On Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
Same here, while I had owned all PS consoles, I have to say non of their first party exclusives is appealing to me, save for GT2 on PS1 and Kill Zone 3 on PS3. The only attraction of Sony console for me was their third party Japanese games, a thing which Xbox is seriously lacking.
