The Crew was out for over 4 months before I was able to even get online to play it. It took awhile for them to get the game patched there were a lot of people like me who couldn't get online to play it.
If everyone would have taken the time to read all the details you would have been able to share your games with up to 10 people on your friends list. That would have been great for people like me with a big family. If the kids wanted to play a game together in coop I had to buy multiple copies of the same game. The biggest majority of people were already connected to the net 24/7 even way back then.
@Dalamar73 I agree. Who would have thought back in 2010 that they would drive the Xbox brand to near extinction. Without competition consoles will probably be much more expensive next Gen. Look at the price of the PS5 Pro.
Since they will eventually probably stop producing consoles if the handheld is successful just call it Xbox and as new generations of the handheld is released just number them. Xbox, Xbox 2. Xbox 3 and so on. I personally think the way they name the consoles hurts sales too. My nephew bought a One S thinking he was getting the latest console.
I personally thought Milo was a cool idea and looked forward to it. Talking to Aloy in a Horizon game sounds pretty cool too. I think it would be cool after a big boss battle for your character to give their opinion of how the fight went and what they thought of it. In the middle of a battle you think you got a nice strategy planned out only for your character to say ' I can't believe I'm doing something so stupid but here I go anyway. Implemented the right way could be really cool and really help you to connect to your character in way unheard of today.
@donv2135 if they quit making hardware I think GamePass subscriptions will drop drastically unless Sony lets them put it on the Playstation. Alot of people like the ease of playing on console.
@Fiendish-Beaver when Left4 Dead came out I use to play with a guy that was 83. I hope I live long enough and I'm healthy enough to still be alive when I'm that age. There are more elderly people playing then most people realize.
@Vaako007 there are a lot of complaints about the bluray drive in the Series X and One X. The PS5 has a bluray player that is leaps and bounds better than the one Xbox has. After reading thru some forums I decided to see how the bluray players performed in my Series X and One X and they are not able to read most of my 4k blurays. The One S that I have had since release day reads everything perfectly. There is a problem either software or hardware the MS needs to address but for the most part they have choose to ignore the complaints. I had never used the bluray player for watching movies in any of my Xboxes until I decided to check and see if they had that problem.
@TerryTrowbridge I've been trying to start the first bounty for the Trackers Alliance since it has been out but can't find the guy anywhere in Akila City. But I haven't had any problems with Shattered Space.
Crashing after leaving the Pillar of Autumn, I looked up and realized I was on a actual Halo. The Final Run section in Halo was pretty cool too. Great times.
All the complaints tells them that people saw the ad and that is all the matters when it comes to advertising. We will be seeing much more advertising in the future.
The first thing MS needs is a proper name for the next console. The casual consumer doesn't even know which Xbox console is which because of the confusing names. Call it Xbox 6 and be done with it. My nephew bought a Xbox One X thinking he had the latest and greatest console only to realize he was still behind a generation when he couldn't play Starfield. The average consumer is confused about what they are buying and will just get a PS6.
@Blofse Dreamcast had a great line up of games the first couple of years. The Daytona remake that had several new tracks beside the original 3 was awesome. Sega GT, Shenmue, Blue Stinger, Carrier, RE Code Veronica are just a few that comes to mind.
My last preorder was Fallout 4. The launch parties were a lot of fun back in the day my 2 sons would always come with me. They are grown and out of the house now living on their own.
When you consider the bad press the Xbox brand has gotten since 2013 it is actually doing pretty good, most brands would have disappeared never to be heard from again. As long as people are talking about it there is always a chance it can get back to it's glory days.
I bought 3 Series X consoles thru the All Access Program here in the US. One for myself and my 2 sons. It is a pretty good way to get one if money is a little tight.
