I won't be interested just because i got bored of waiting and just emulated MGS and I am now playing the HD collection on Xbox (should finish MGS3 next week at the latest)
I do t think I ever pre-ordered a game on Xbox. Even if I preorder one I do it just a couple of days before release to have the 15% discount but already knowing more about the game. The exception are JRPGs (mostly on switch) that tend to be hard to find around here if not preordered
@HarmanSmith yep that one lol. Not my cup of tea tbh as I feel the game in third person would be a lot better but I understand they wanted the immersion of the experience.
@uptownsoul I will say I liked that EA play was on gamepass but mostly because I wantef to play stuff on their backlog (ME3 and Andromeda) DA I, SW JFO, the one with parkour (cannot remember the name lol) but moving forward I don't expect much from them
@pip_muzz these are my exact thoughts. Sony did it in markets where they sell bangers above Xbox (the only one I am not sure is México where I allways heard Xbox sells very well) because they can. In the US they would feel it quite a lot more.
Because of that I don't feel Microsoft will raise it this gen (or at least any time soon)
Interesting how brawlers are having a comeback with this era after a big low of about 20 years or more. I played my fair Share of them back in the day but like fighting, racing and fps I lost the love for them. But as it is on GP I might give it a try I guess...
I started watching 45min into so I could skip all the boring parts and in that way was passible. However 90% was just teasers with close to no gameplay or ruining a goodl ooking one with the words "survival MMO"...
I will go for xenoblade. Regarding elden ring although I have not finish it yet I am far into (level 120+) and I don't understand all the hype about it. As a souls game I would say it is easily the weakest of all. The formula works much better on a smaller scale (altough I like to fight on horse)
I still have plenty of games in the wishlist but it is fair to say that the last couple of month's are some of the weakest yet (and it has to be mentioned that it goes in line with the revamped ps plus so maybe less deals to have atm)
Never noticed Xbox has a player review system... Whenever I want to know something more from a game I just google it. But it appears that you do not have to at least play the game for a few hours before posting and that should be quite a big no.
@Sakisa even in europe is selling quite well (which is hard as it is the land of PlayStation since forever) and I hope they expand its rewards system to more countries!
I would totally play this on GP. I am very far from a fan of BotW (my open world's need RPG mechanics and good side quests) so altough I have seen some discounted physical version of this I never bought it but on GP I have a good excuse to play it
@themightyant you're definitely correct . The only thing is that when you start a game you expect to be able to play the game for years and if it ends getting why down or the playerbase is not existing it is quite a bummer... To be fair I actually don't play multiplayer games or buy mtx
@themightyant my point was not on preservation per se but on money invested on a game that will be the equivalent of a bricked console. This was a F2P so in that regard the only money invested was in mtx or season pass (still that money is pretty much wasted if you cannot play the game anymore) but on games like babylon fall you loose also the 60$ of the game
@themightyant I also get your point but there are more chanches for games relying on a userbase to just die, on the other hand a single player game with abysmal sales is still one you can buy and enjoy. Also you have good games like battleborne or lawbreakers that were released too close to a Giant of attention like overwatch.
Things like this are very likely to happen often as publishers to do not understand that all these games as a service fight with each other for the time of the players (which most likely can only play one of those anyways...) And therefore the ones already on top tend to stay there...
Finished Omno last night and gave up on Raji (combat not for me) so now i am focusing on As dusk falls which I am absolutely loving so far. Maybe will get a few more hours in elden ring too
Finished Omno and did not like Raji so I have started this one earlier and oh Boy I am really liking it! Was outside in the morning so played on mobile and it works great and I feel like I will replay it to make outcomes different as it is not allways straightforward to have it as you intend to. Also I am liking the artstyle quite a bit
Series X and even more gamepass sold me on Xbox ecosystem. As someone that was very casual PC gamer and grabbed into the hobby on a daily basis by Switch in 2017 I have rechead a point (age) where playing at the PC desk was no longer confortable and therefore I bought one last year. And I am loving it (ok, the UI is fine but not great)
@Richnj same reason as advance wars was delayed. Big companies do not want to be conotated with real wars at this time. More than ever we live in a time where something on Twitter can escalate very quickly to "cancel" levels
I own a X and even that one has not enough space... The seagate is too expensive for my taste so for now i bought a 1 Tb HDD where I put all games not exclusive to series systems but I have pretty much both drives full atm
I do prefer it with VA but still not a big deal to me. What I quite deslike is when the protagonist is silent (like FF XIV or Link in all games). I find that is the one thing that breaks immersion the most
@VisitingComet1 definitely and unpopular oppinion but I was also disapointed with it. Firstly I feel I am the only One that quite liked the gameplay of the original (at least on PC) where after leveling up a bit I was a monster with the sniper with unlimited ammo as MS1 has cooldown instead of ammo. But my biggest complain is the setting, I really dislike the cerberus and the ilusive man, and even Amanda and the other first dude are boring characters.
P.s: Andromeda is amazing and in terms of narrative and characters I like it almost as much as the OG.
I found the puzzles really really obtuse. For example for some of the Doors that you need to do a series of inputs even having the solution in front of me on the internet and looking at the hints I could not even start to understand the how...
Started Nier replicant this week. It has been a slow burner so far and I cannot see it getting as good as automata but to be fair that game really start after credits so let's see...
I don't see the need for it this gen or at least until 2025. The tech in the systems is still on par with PC (actually cheaper for the money they cost) and I am not so sure 8k Will be a bit deal as TV manufacturers would like as you won't see a difference and nobody has rooms for 100'' TVs...
@Jark I understand why some devs and player would like early access but for my part I don't care about giving feedback as I just want to play a complete product and move on
Is this in the America's only? I have played my fair share yesterday during the day ( on disk, gamepass and even tried a couple through cloud) with no issues

Re: Talking Point: How Often Do You Pre-Order Games For Xbox?

Re: Reaction: Will Xbox Follow PlayStation In Raising Console Prices?

Re: Talking Point: What's Your 2022 Game Of The Year So Far?

Re: Talking Point: How Are You Finding As Dusk Falls So Far?
I have first to finish Omno and Raji before they leave GP by the end of next week. Should still have time to play this One before xenoblade
Re: Raji: An Ancient Epic Gets 'Enhanced Edition' On Xbox Game Pass, But With A Catch
I actually started both this and Omno as both are fairly short and leaving GP. Plenty of time to do it still.

Re: Deals: Cyberpunk 2077 Down To Just $5 In The US For Xbox One, Series X
