While companies policies can change 180° ratter quickly it is good to hear nonetheless. Let's face it Microsoft at the biggining of the last gen was the first to embrace mtx and I would like to avoid similar thing this gen
I will be checking mortal shell for sure. My friend Pedro I have tried a demo before and did not click but I may give it another go. Don't really know the rest but maybe there is there a few more gems.
@Tharsman there is a trend in that direction but it is still a small market (when compared to US and europe). I have nothing against PC, actually I have been a casual PC gamer most of my life and only moving more to consoles in the previous gen (with switch)
@Tharsman I don't think PC gaming is big in Japan at all. The biggest markets are handheld and mobile by a country mile (reason why switch is selling best in that region and I believe already surpassed Wii Numbers but not 3ds yet)
I will definitely get my hands on San Andreas as it is the only game on the trilogy I really wanted to play (had a go at 3 for the first time a few years back and did not find it very appealing, vice city I completed back in the day but do not feel the need to go back yet but San Andreas only played a bit on a PS2's friend)
Got a series X in June after getting GP on PC a few months prior. It is my first time on the Xbox family and I really like the system. The UI is nothing to talk about but it is snappy and that is all I want. Quick resume could work a bit better at times but when it does (most of times it does) it is fantastic and gamepass is the best value in gaming, period.
Good update, just a shame that I have also ran across the mãos several times until I finally found them (and also checking some YouTube videos and going at the same time to see if I had missed any)
Saw many people saying it looks cheap but I liked it. However I never played a star oceano but also saw many saying the latest entries in the series have been weak só let's see.
P.s: is unrealistic to expect the same number of AAA games as indies as those will ask for a lot more money. And in the years to come we Will have a lot more first party to fill those gaps anyways
@Trmn8r @FriendlyOctopus obviously it is my opinion lol. And I am not trying to troll. I have plenty to play. For instance I am still playing a game from last month (Scarlett Nexus)
I don't see myself using it due to lag. I tried xcloud before and it was a definitely not good. Also I don't even have a lan connection to my Xbox as the router is in another room lol
@Brobeans it does work yes, although as I have the Xbox with just wireless connection it had quite some hickups. What I generally do is to share the screen from my phone with the TV (that for some reason has no issues with the wireless connection) but that way I cannot be on WhatsApp
Edge will be nice to see F1.tv. I will check it tomorrow for the qualifying. Was hoping for the update on the controller light too as it is my biggest peeve with the system
@UltimateOtaku91 I love it. Since I bought a series X I finished fable anniversary, 2 and 3 and psychonauts and I bought jade Empire, blue dragon and Lost odyssey physically and Rayman Legends and beyond good and evil digitally
I love open worlds but I cannot play one from ubisoft. I just get bored after less than 5-10h and all the previews from this game state this is more of the same damm formula...
@Grumblevolcano if I was to bet I would put my money on number 2. The Quake remaster is a small thing that was being done for a couple of years now (before the aquisition). I wouldn't even expect potential remakes (like a morrowind for instance) to be on other systems outside gamepass
Number two for me, from the third forward it has become too wacky for my taste. I prefer them with less hero's powers (I am actually looking forward to the reboot)
Did a bit of Quake as it is probably my favourite FPS and it was fun to see that I still remember the secrets in the first levels but I don't feel I will go back as I fell from FPS a long time ago.
Have been playing 12 minutes a lot and living it (even though I has quite some jank). Did quite a few loops trying to solve it but after a while decided to get some hints online. I feel I will do all endings and achievements as it is only 12.
I have also been playing bravely default on 3ds and 20h in i prefer the sequel on Switch but it would s a good JRPG
I am mostly playing axiom verge 2 (really good but not as good as the first one), last night I got a run of Hades but it is really hard to get to zero after being use to kicking everyones butt easily and still going on jade Empire
@SplooshDmg like I said the reason people say that is because of the story itself as most roguelites don't have one. Gameplay wise it is one in its soul
@SplooshDmg well there is no game for everyone but I have to say that it is not possible to button mash your way through Hades as it is allways a challenging game (actually when you learn all the patterns it gets fairly easy as long as you dodge at the right times)
@SplooshDmg well the reason why many say it is roguelite for people that does no like roguelites is that the characters and story are interesting. My recomendation is to find the weapon that suits your playstyle the best (for me is the bow but it is not the most common) as the story and banter btw characters gets better and better as you go on just one more run
I will give it a go but it is a shame it does not have cross saves with switch as getting back to zero is quite a pain. Also hope that the framerate with the fists is at least better than on Switch as it could lag quite a bit when busy on screen
@OliverOwen well I played a few and did not like them... What can I do lol. Also if you'd played one you have play them all. For me the goofs are not worth the dull gameplay
I will be playing mostly The ascent. I am enjoying this game way more than I was expecting but I have to say the game would be even better if it had a run button as you need to transverse a lot even using metro and cab as often as possible
I want to know what comes from this show but as many said before no way I am watching it as they are the worst thing after cancer lol. When they do realize that Directs are great because they allways keep the pace

Re: Xbox Series X|S Appears To Have Already Surpassed Xbox One's Lifetime Sales In Japan
Good to see but as Xbox One numbers were very disappointing the real target for comparison should be 360 (that I believe it sold close to 1M)

Ok, I stand corrected. I had a power shutdown the other day and lost the quick resume and assumed same thing would happen on a hard reset.

Hard reset is definitely a bummer as it will reset quick resume for all games....
