When he sais "it did not make the money Microsoft was expecting" everyone is just saying that obviously it sold less than a full release without Gamepass but I feel that it also that it did not generate new subscription either
I believe I can detect frame drops as well as anyone that plays on a daily basis but on this one I sincerely cannot see what everyone is talking about. I am playing in performance vsync and the experience is pretty flawless. I cannot feel either drops or lag (but I do tend to use auto aim as much as possible)
Mostly Gears of War 3 (only missing the final act now to finish the 360 trilogy this month) and ghost wire Tokyo (have finished chapter 2 yesterday and really enjoying this one). Kingdom hearts 2 and octopath Traveler II are currently on hold ...
I have played 2h or so and having a blast so far. I can see how it can become tedious if it goes for too long but right now having upgrades every so often keeps me happy.
They should delay! A first party game should have performance above others and a FPS at 60 on the most powerfull console in the market is a must. I bet the problem is tagged with the constant online connection too...
I started it last night and after only doing my standard tweeks (no motion blur and head bob or filters, performance mode and on this case remove horror parts ) the game runs perfectly well for me on series X. However I have only played up to and hour.
This is a great move! They need to keep expanding and also its rewards program which is still limited to very few countries. Here in Portugal we have Microsoft rewards since last year but not yet xbox for instance
@Spaceman-Spiff not sure if it should be considered but Gears of War series has a big focus on Coop campaigns and they play well as single player (altough the AI is a bit dumb at times)
My internal storage has less than 20Gb free. The 1tb storage has about 200Gb free and I have a HDD 1tb with backward compatability games that should be at about 400gb free. Right now I have pretty much everything I own and want installed but until I bought the ssd expansion a few months ago I was uninstalling very frequently
@nomither6 it is my first time playing the series but one thing I know that is typical of its time however the Gray/brown look is something I would prefer to be more colourful
switch - still chipping away at octopath Traveler II as I am closing chapter 2s Xbox - started the game club month's Gears of War (I am playing ultimate version) and continuing Kingdom hearts re: chain of memories (still early on and not get sold on the gameplay but let's see how it goes)
@Kaloudz mine were showing TVs as I have been looking to upgrade mine (however right now it is only showing a black spot saying "advert" below. It may be a bug from the migration to the new system @antdickens)
Had a try at Diablo IV (it is ok but I will wait for it to get to GP at some point) and Marvel midnight suns as it is free to play this weekend (ended up getting a physical copy for a good price).
Now I will be back to the games I have been playing almost every day:
Switch: octopath Traveler II as I am chipping away through chapter 2 parts and general exploring Xbox: Kingdom hearts HD
@Moonglow I would argue with those 5 games Xbox already has a very solid year in terms of first party releases. They should save hellblade 2/others in the pipeline for next year to avoid another 2022 (but definitely show more of them at E3)
Am I the only one that finds the lips movements offsetting? It is too pronunciated showing a lot of teeth in a way I would not call natural. Apart from that it looks amazing
@Green-Bandit I don't think that is really fair as in the last few years they have new entries in most of their series (residente evil, Monster Hunter, devil may cry and street fighter at least) and all of them of high quality. That is not to say I believe this one will be fantastic.
@Altarchon5050 It has been working much better for me since a few months ago. The main trick that works for me is to wait for the dashboard to be fully displayed, so a few extra seconds.
I probably buy more now but less on day one as I allways have plenty of games to play and also a few I end up getting a physical copy down the line for cheap after playing on on game pass
P.s: but since I am new to the Xbox, since I got it I about 18 months ago, I bought 30+ Xbox One/series and some 10/15 backwards compatible from previous gens
Well I was going to wait for a sale but couldn't hold myself anymore ups... 60€ it is with the 15% preorder discount and this weekend I will start my journey in Hogwarts!!
It is the battle Royale of battle Royale free to play games... Let's see If publishers will keep trying to land a hit or if the market is already saturated of entries as these games require a lot o attention therefore people keep to one or two at the most

Re: Pick One: Which Of These Ubisoft Xbox Games Is Your Favourite?
Easily Rayman Legends as it is probably the best 2d platformer ever made. Apart from that I only care about south park. The rest bores me to death

@BRT15 yeah, it did not annoy me personally but I can understand why many were not happy

@fizban3332 oh ok. I didn't know it was something already from the first game as I have not played it (not really into any type of horror)

Re: Here's What's Included In The Xbox February 2023 Update
@Altarchon5050 that looks to be and issue by Ubisoft itself and something I am not sure the Xbox team can do anything about it
