I think Xbox homepage is too crowded for dynamic themes. In this regard, I prefer PS5 home Screen, which is more minimalistic, and let the theme/background shine.
When I was younger, I preferred longer games, but now, I prefer shorter ones. It is good to hear that it is possible to finish the game under 20 hours.
Great feature. However, I think they need to indicate FPS boost somehow in the game's store page. It has important bearing on the decision to buy Xbox One games.
I dont care about the loading times, at least when there is a comparison between PS5 and SX. Since on SX we also have a very short loading times. I dont mind waiting 4 or 5 seconds more.
Well, while I am more a fan of slow paced RE games, and RE4 is one of my least favourite REs, but somehow I am attracted to REVIII. It has some irresistable charm and charisma. Anyway, I have pre ordered it a long time ago.
And thanks for yoyr helpful review.
Did not like the Alien Isolation hide and seek mechanism in 7. While I will play VIII for sure, but I think the best formula for RE (art style, gameplay, etc) is RE2 Remake.
Same games, same discounts. No appeal at all. At least, MS should offer more BC fames in sales. Miss the early XBONE/PS4 days when we got interesting and surprising sales. I remember once PSN had a flash sale containing many games under 1$.
Tried the demo. Liked the gunplay, but did not like the game overally. However, as a GP title, I will download the full game and give it another chance.
For those who was in denial mode and did not believe that Bethesda games will be exclusive to Xbox and Gamepass. It is settled now. They spend 7.5 billion to make the games exclusive to their platforms. The day you see Halo or Gears on PS5, you would also see Doom, Elder, or Wolf on PS5. ))))))))))
I think, all the games (except for some possible minor titles or one big exception) Will be exculsives. They want to push the gamepass on Xbox and PC. Having super popular games on GP (which is the strategic and ultimate aim of MS) will do the trick in 2 or 3 years. Releasing the games on rival platforms will defeat the purpose. They want to use Bethesta games for selling a SERVICE, and not to profit individualy from titles.
All the big guns (including, Doom, Wolf, Fallout, and Elder) will be exclusive. But they will annonce it gradually to avoid any media backlash/backfire. They did not pay 7.5 billion to develop games for their competition. This is their ultimate strategy to push game pass by overcrowding it with permanent and day one popular AAA titles.
P.S Switch is not MS direct competition.
I was more interested in a single-player Aliens (not Alien) game in the spirit of AVP (marine campaign), or Aliens: Colonial Marines done right. However, I probably end up buying this game, since I love everything Aliens, and its guns sound satysfying.
It was the heyday of multiplayer gaming. As a single player, X360 is far from my favorite console (esp. with that nasty RROD). However, X360 raised the standards of console gaming to a higher level: flawless online gaming, HDD, digital gaming, entertainment apps, etc.
There is no point for a FPS counter for consoles. Unless you give us the option to upgrade its hardware, or at least, customize the advanced video settings.
Nice, a relic of the times when Blizzard made great games; the times when "a game made by Blizzard" was the equivalent of a "classic" game. Look forward to this.
@booker_steve Same here. No humidifier. I think this problem is related to the materials used on Xbox SX body. Similar to the famous yellowing problem of US SNES.
The review scores show that this is a personal game. That is, you have to try it yourself to see whether you like it or not. The fact that the game is on Gamepass is very important.
Xbox has been always suffered due to idiotic pricing decisions. In pervious generation, their decision to make Kinect mandatory and the rumor of being always online, single handedly buried the Xbox One. And now this. The console market is extremely competitive (especially in the early phase of the competition). One mistake (particularly pricing mistakes) results in loosing the competition. On the contrary, Sony has been always prudent regarding pricing decisions (except for PS3 pricing, which, they compensate by reducing the price and making online gaming free). We all remember how their decision to sell PS1 on 299$ knocked out the highly anticipated Sega Saturn.
Yea, we all love to have a new Ninja Gaiden. Provided that you do not transform it into an open-world/multiplayer mess (or corrupt it with political correction nonsense). Just a pure Ninja Gaiden. Something like Ninja Gaiden 2 on Xbox360. Don't about exclusivity crap, just give us the game, exclusive or not.

Re: Talking Point: Do You Want More 'Narrative-Adventure' Games Like The Last Of Us 2 On Xbox?

Re: The Xbox Series X Seagate Expansion Card Is On Sale Again In The UK
I am totally fine with SX internal SSD, It is more than enough for me.
Re: Review: Resident Evil Village - An Action-Centric Follow-Up That Can't Quite Hit The Highs Of Its Predecessor
Well, while I am more a fan of slow paced RE games, and RE4 is one of my least favourite REs, but somehow I am attracted to REVIII. It has some irresistable charm and charisma. Anyway, I have pre ordered it a long time ago.

Re: Resident Evil Village Will Dial Back The Tension Found In Its Predecessor

Already pre-orderd. At this moment, I am more concerned with pre-load date.

Hope it gets a Series X upgrade. Then, I seriously consider buying it (provided the favourable reviews).

I have the same experience on RE6. While it is a mediocre game, but it is fun to some extent.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Buying In The Xbox Spring Sale 2021?
I decided to spend my credits pre-ordering R-Type and Resident Evil. It was not an interesting sale to be honest.
Re: It Looks Like Destroy All Humans! Might Be Coming To Xbox Game Pass
@Beermonkey Well, I suggest at least install me on your SDD. It is more comfortable there.
Re: It Looks Like Destroy All Humans! Might Be Coming To Xbox Game Pass
I am afraid that one morning I wake up, and see myself added to the gamepass too.

Stop asking these pointless question, it WILL be exclusive.
Re: Xbox Will Deliver Exclusive Bethesda Games 'Where Game Pass Exists'
By the way, I suggest go to Pushsquare and enjoy the anger of PS fanboys claiming they will not spending a penny buying Xbox or Bethesda games. LOL/

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Think About Certain Bethesda Games Being Xbox Exclusives?
I think, all the games (except for some possible minor titles or one big exception) Will be exculsives. They want to push the gamepass on Xbox and PC.

Re: Xbox Is Fixing Issues Causing Series X Consoles To Shut Down Randomly
My SX Shut down only once, when playing Gears 5. Other than that, zero issues with the system in 3 months.
Re: Video: Here's 25 Minutes Of Gameplay From Aliens: Fireteam
I was more interested in a single-player Aliens (not Alien) game in the spirit of AVP (marine campaign), or Aliens: Colonial Marines done right. However, I probably end up buying this game, since I love everything Aliens, and its guns sound satysfying.
Re: Random: Xbox Fans On Twitter Are Reminiscing About The Good Old Xbox 360 Days
It was the heyday of multiplayer gaming. As a single player, X360 is far from my favorite console (esp. with that nasty RROD). However, X360 raised the standards of console gaming to a higher level: flawless online gaming, HDD, digital gaming, entertainment apps, etc.
Re: Microsoft: We Want More Xbox Backwards Compatible Games, But It's Difficult
Give me the OG Kingdom Under Fire (both games), and Dai Senryaku VII, and I am done with BC.
Re: The Gears Of War Twitter Account Seems To Be Teasing Something
Probably, Gears remasters.
Re: Microsoft Has No Plans To Add An FPS Counter To Xbox Right Now

Re: Microsoft Unveils The First Batch Of 'FPS Boost' Games For Xbox Series X|S
Good news for 60fps fans. I am still waiting for news regarding more BC titles.
Re: Random: Does Your Series X Look Like This? Xbox Fans Have Figured Out Why
@booker_steve Same here. No humidifier. I think this problem is related to the materials used on Xbox SX body. Similar to the famous yellowing problem of US SNES.
Re: Guide: Every Original Xbox Game You Can Play With Backwards Compatibility
Still awaiting Dai Senryaku VII.
Re: Demon Slayer Confirmed To Be Arriving On Xbox Series X Later This Year
Although I am not interested in this one, more Japanese games is always good.

Re: OG Xbox Creator Wants To Know If You'd Buy A New Classic Console
@electrolite77 No, I mean "We". "We" does not mean all or a majority. Even a minority is a "we".
Re: OG Xbox Creator 'Amazed' By Response To Classic Console, Says It Might Be Possible
Wrong decision. I Hope Phil turn it down. Spend the limited BC resources on BC, not on this rip-off toys.
Re: OG Xbox Creator Wants To Know If You'd Buy A New Classic Console
No, we do not buy these useless toys. Just give us more OG Xbox BC! Done!
Re: Roundup: Here's What The Critics Are Saying About The Medium

Re: These 20+ Games Are Coming To Xbox Next Week (Jan 26-29)
Cyber Shadow and Medium for me.
