This is going to drive a few folk away for certain. I'm surprised by the new structure of prices and glad I've till September to brew over it. Back playing on the steam deck due to family life and lack of TV time has effective gaming.
Really thinking about staying up and testing it out after midnight but depends on family life. In the meantime, patch downloaded, pre-ordered the expansion for free (thank you Microsoft reward points) and pumped to played it wherever I can. Enjoy all who plays
@Ricky-Spanish I found Mohg to be the tougher fight. He's also one of my favourites from the bosses. Keep pushing man, I'd consider Elden Ring ro be my favourite game of all time. I was consumed by it and it wrecked me at times but still went on to get all the achievements. The last game to blow my mind was Breath of the Wild. I nicknamed Elden Ring to my mates "Death of the Wild"
I don't have any reason to get these as I'm happy with both my X/S. Hopefully some more information is shared on the handheld around the holiday season. A Xbox handheld is a day one purchase
I'm excited for the showcase and will be watching it live. Perfect time on a Sunday and going in with low expectations.
Gear 6 and Forza Horizon 6 would be my pipe dream but don't see both being reveal
It will be an increase of €2-€3 a month. Once again, personally this does not affect me as I need to work about 2 hours a month to afford game pass. Not the end of the world and still crazy amount of savings made through game pass. I don't play COD but having access to the campaigns or a quick round of zombies, I'd be up for a small increase. A bonus if nothing changes. Only time will tell and just enjoying gaming today, tomorrow or whenever.
I'll only judge this game and its so called "doomed" state,when I see footage for myself. In the meantime, I'll boot up some awesome games I own on the trusty Xbox and enjoy gaming.
Went with a B grade and thought it was a good month again. Star Wars Jedi Survivor a massive highlight. Had waited ages for it to drop and its patched up nicely since release
I bought this for €5 a good while ago. If you haven't played it, I'm jealous cause this was an excellent outing. The survival trilogy of Lara are my favourite Tomb Raider games. Have fun and ill be checking these games out in the future again. If you like Uncharted, you'll have loads of fun with these games
Let's all agree that gaming is great and enjoy it whatever way you want. 30/40/60 fps, 1080p,1440p, 4k whichever floats your boat. Positive from this news is that we the gamers are getting improvements on a massive rpg for free. Love your hobby and respect everyone
Ign presenting it actually damaged it for me. The hosts were annoying and trying so hard to be comedians. I turned it off and will catch up on the trailers later on.
Picked up person 5 royal as I'm really enjoying Persona 3 Reload. Also picked up the shadow of mordor/war bundle. That was all and haven't plenty of games to keep me busy for years
To be honest, I never really paid attention to it until figured out I can get the Elden Ring DLC for free. Now it's a daily thing to get points. At it current state, its great for me and it has offered more in the past but so be. Its free money for doing pretty much nothing and with a little patience, will work out. After I redeem for Elden ring DLC, I'm going to save up for Star Wars Outlaws and purchased it at a sale price
10 hours into Persona 3 Reload so I'll get a few more in over the weekend. Enjoying it so far and it's a slow start but glad it's teaching me the ropes. Enjoy games everyone and have a great weekend
I'll be enjoying Hellblade 2 next month and then preparing for Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree. Star Wars Outlaws is later in the year for me when it drops in price.
Think ill just save up my microsoft points from July on and hopefully have enough for a sale price around Christmas. A few bugs could be ironed out by then.
Love to play it day one but so much on around that time of the year, it just doesn't suit. I'll hold off for a sale price around Christmas or New year. Looking forward to more gameplay videos in the near future
I'm all for people getting to play games wherever they like too. It doesn't matter which platform you game on, it's all about the enjoyment you get from the title you're experiencing. Stay positive, play what you like and enjoy the hobby
@Titntin you have a good day and enjoy gaming. Its Friday so the weekend is here for some gaming sessions. If its runs better on pc, thats great. On the 21st of May, I'll have my dolby atmos headphones ready and set for a journey on the oled. Pumped for this game and have for a long time.
@Ricky-Spanish since games are developed for both the s/x, a handheld that could play s versions of the games, would be incredible. It's a pipe dream but you never know. Enjoy the day buddy👍
@Grumblevolcano I'd agree with the Series S been replaced with a dockable handheld. Hope this is the direction Xbox is going due to a huge library of games that run great on their S already and the possibility of them running the same on a handheld. Was the Series S a trial run for developers to get games running on the S before a handheld was made? Only time will tell but a handheld with game pass and access to your full digital library sounds very promising. A day 1 purchase in my books.

Re: Talking Point: Would You Mind If The Next Xbox Was A Portable Console?
@Sifi How's the performance of Xbox games on the ROG Ally?
Re: Talking Point: Would You Mind If The Next Xbox Was A Portable Console?
I'd be 100% behind a handheld Xbox. Once it gave access to my library of bought games and all could run on it, it's a day one purchase.

Re: Microsoft Rewards Fans Are Preparing For A New Era On Xbox This Week
To be honest, I never really paid attention to it until figured out I can get the Elden Ring DLC for free. Now it's a daily thing to get points. At it current state, its great for me and it has offered more in the past but so be. Its free money for doing pretty much nothing and with a little patience, will work out.

Re: Talking Point: Will Hellblade 2 Be A Genuine Game Of The Year Contender This Year?
Don't think it will get awards for game of the year. Reckon it will win audio and best performance categories awards
Re: If Q1 Is Anything To Go By, 2024 Should Be Another Fantastic Year On Xbox
I'll be enjoying Hellblade 2 next month and then preparing for Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree. Star Wars Outlaws is later in the year for me when it drops in price.
Re: Shadow Of The Tomb Raider Is Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (April 11)
Thought it was an excellent game and love this trilogy of games.
Re: Star Wars Outlaws Sparks Criticism Over Games With $100+ 'Ultimate' Editions

Re: Star Wars Outlaws Launches This August On Xbox Series X|S

Re: Xbox Series X|S Versions Of Hellblade 2 Confirmed To Run At 30FPS
@Titntin you have a good day and enjoy gaming. Its Friday so the weekend is here for some gaming sessions.
If its runs better on pc, thats great. On the 21st of May, I'll have my dolby atmos headphones ready and set for a journey on the oled. Pumped for this game and have for a long time.
Re: Xbox Series X|S Versions Of Hellblade 2 Confirmed To Run At 30FPS
No issue with 30fps as that's how the game was designed. Roll on the 21st of May

Re: Leaked Images Reveal 'First Look' At White, All-Digital Xbox Series X
@Krzzystuff wishful thinking from me. Excited about things ahead for Xbox.
Re: Leaked Images Reveal 'First Look' At White, All-Digital Xbox Series X
I'll stick with my current series x. If this is true, then the holiday announcement could possibly be the rumored handheld🤞
Re: This Week's Xbox Sales Include One Of 2024's Best Games So Far

Re: With A 'PS5 Pro' Now Rumoured For 2024, Where Does That Leave Xbox?
@Ricky-Spanish hopefully the day turns around for you. Positive vibes sent your way
Re: With A 'PS5 Pro' Now Rumoured For 2024, Where Does That Leave Xbox?
@Ricky-Spanish since games are developed for both the s/x, a handheld that could play s versions of the games, would be incredible. It's a pipe dream but you never know. Enjoy the day buddy👍
Re: With A 'PS5 Pro' Now Rumoured For 2024, Where Does That Leave Xbox?
@Grumblevolcano I'd agree with the Series S been replaced with a dockable handheld. Hope this is the direction Xbox is going due to a huge library of games that run great on their S already and the possibility of them running the same on a handheld.

Only time will tell but a handheld with game pass and access to your full digital library sounds very promising. A day 1 purchase in my books.
