@eduscxbox What universe were you living in saying g nobody complained. Pushsquare communitu alone whined about FF and it's framerste/ along with DD2/ Ronin endlessly

Nintendo Fandom is surreal, they basically never complain. They let Nintendo pee in their cereal and steal their wallet while asking " please sir, may I have more"

Very well said, even as a physical collector these very things leave me hesitant

So not only are you paying more for Ultimate, but now you can pay even more for 3 days early.
It was gross before, and it's still gross.
Bethesda can really be a despicable company

I simply want to know if building a library on Xbox is a sensible thing going forward.

A year has gone by and I still have no clue.

Ok........ guess I'll just continue not buying anything for Xbox, unless it's getting delisted

That journal looks pretty cheap, like an afterthought to fill out a thin CE. I've seen those at Art Supply stores for 12 buying papers.
I don't understand how ANYONE can have faith in Bethesda CE's- famously terrible to deal with if your stuff turns out to be broken or wrong

I'm curious if Phil will lay out really awesome sounding news, inflate the hype balloon
As the Xbox community turns to high five each other, Phil runs up and pops the hype Ballon, gives everyone a wet willy and teieports back to his office not explaining a thing and being not heard from until the next Xbox Fest

This is Activision we are talking about, did anyone think this would actually be allowed?

@GuyinPA75 Activision carries the hate pretty well, I doubt MS gets much of the blame

@x3King84 You could always check
" ProtonDB" for Deck compatibility, it's pretty good resource
I've not played it in Deck but I've seen plenty of folks mention it runs great.

@Ricky-Spanish I'm not picky in FPS vs 3rd, and I'm old, I had watched all the Indy movies 20x over, adored Young Indiana.
Some reason it just doesn't look like my cup of tea, agreed on cutscenes🤌

As long as this reviews decently, day one purchase for sure, damn the backlog😵‍💫

It was my main reason for joining Xbox, I was not going to miss Starfield....... boy it was disappointing...
Still so worth it, Far Cry 2, got to finally play Gears and Halo Infinite was certainly, um no comment.
Looking forward to Indy, and hoping Avowed turns out great. Doom looks okayish

@Frmknst I've got PS, SteamDeck as well, so I'm my case Gamepass isn't useful for me in my situation

@Pabpictu That's certainly an opinion....

Below are the top 10 companies by gaming revenue in H1 2023:

Tencent — $15.4 billion (-3.6% year-over-year);
Sony — $8 billion (+8.7% year-over-year);
Apple — $6.9 billion (+3.2% year-over-year);
Microsoft — $6 billion (+3.5% year-over-year);
NetEase — $5 billion (-3.8% year-over-year);
Google — $5 billion (+2% year-over-year);
Activision Blizzard — $4.4 billion (+35.5% year-over-year);
Electronic Arts — $3.8 billion (+5.5% year-over-year);
Nintendo — $3.1 billion (+3.3% year-over-year);
Take-Two — $2.4 billion (+26% year-over-year).

The user reviews are not kind, guess it's a pretty game, but controls are really bad.

Ah the memories, watching Xbox get all the best ports, 1st dibs on COD maps. The absurd console wars, E3 goodness.....

@EVIL-C It was so wonderful playing Bond, huge thanks to the Pure Xbox community who mentioned Replay was on sale when the Goldeneye news came out.

My teenage daughter actual came in and watched me play for a bit and she said
" I wish they still made games like this, just looks simple and fun"

@__jamiie I truly have no idea how you came to the conclusion you shouldn't say you enjoyed it.
I'm talking about the eye rolling conspiracy that ANYTHING negative is some underhanded ploy to demean Xbox, it's exhausting

@__jamiie
😑
Such a bizarre statement, if you enjoyed it, great!
I have not touched it since Dec of last year because I didn't think it was very good...
As a Bethesda game, it was terrible at being a Bethesda game and a lot of folks feel this way🤷‍♂️

Nothing ha, I've spent the last 6 hours trying to figure out how I've misplaced my application file on my steamdeck😡🤬
Can't figure out how to install Greenlight without it and Linux is NOT playing nice

@themightyant Appreciate it! The Portal is flawless at home, and just okay on my hospitals wifi, so hopefully I can get the same or better mileage out of streaming Xbox on the Deck. Did you use any particular app on the Deck?

Random question, but does anyone here stream installed xbox games to their SteamDeck? ( have never used Xbox streaming, would it require installing Windows?)
The PS Portal is just bonkers fun, and i'd love to play my Series X the same way and have a initial release SD.

@Blofse Man thatSteam Deck is bonkers good. I grabbed it a month after release it and still runs petefect.

I even added 20+ games to my backlog!

@IOI Are you freaking kidding me....... WOW, just what the hell.

Who the heck is driving that Porsche that is Microsoft and instead of cruising they are driving it like a bumper car

If I'm being completely honest.....I have no idea.
These past few months at MS have been such a GIGANTIC cluster truck that I'm not sure I trust Xbox just yet.
Will be very interesting to watch them close out the year, if it's more stumbling and bumbling.........oy?

I love playing games on SX, and I love them on PS5.
But I have been conditioned to check which system runs better, and it is usually so negligible I end up just getting which one has the best deal🤷‍♂️

Sounds so good, I was VERY worried it would get dumbed down too much.

I really hope Starwars, Avowed, Astrobot are all brilliant, but this is my " please let it be good" game

@Mustoe Jinx 🤣

@trev666 What hate mob? It was destroyed by critics and gamers, it was a badly made game. 🤨

@JonBoyJ Eurogamer has some sincerely eye rolling reviews. I just can't take them seriously anymore.
It's a shame

So that's the face of Xbox's horrendous marketing program....

I'm sorry, but good riddance.

@Medic_alert It's an odd way of thinking, surely Bethesda knows that much of their core audience is getting up there in years. I don't think they have Rockstar levels of mass appeal. I'll be near 50 by the time ES VI comes out, and might not live to see FO5.
Sincerely don't understand Bethesdas development philosophy.

Jeez, how many daughters did Bruce Willis have?

@InterceptorAlpha
My wife of 20 years is still freaking hot, she enjoys watching and looking at beautiful women. She complained constantly when Victoria Secret leaned towards different modelsIt's just how nature made us, we like the shiniest things. Is she jaded, maybe but she will watch cut scenes or gameplay if she thinks the character model is attractive

@Ricky-Spanish Apparently the paid quest had a weapon attached to it.

I'm just going ignore it all and wait for a couple months after shattered space, see if I actually find any thing they did redeemable, if not well oh well

That was exactly the reassuring kind of stuff I've been waiting on.
A little odd this this is how they reveal it

MS public relations confuses the hell out of me

@Danny272 I figured I'd see what sales looked like in the store yesterday and Gears 5 was cheap, so I went to check reviews.............
Seems like a lot of people didn't want Gears 6, because they hated 5.

It was great, E3 levels of great.

So did Phil just get a pass for this past month??
It's kind of surreal..... he dangles some shiny keys and all is fogiven.
Mind you, some really shiny keys!

@jesse_dylan A lot of us "more hardcore" gamers are a dying breed. Traditional RPG mechanics are going the way of the dodo bird. I expect it to be simplified for mass market appeal

@Gamer_X Or better yet, just buy it so you own it,.
And definitely wait until shattered space is out and mods have had a 6 months

Wish I would have

@InterceptorAlpha Kudos for maining melee, it was just terrible at launch

@Banjo- They own the HellDivers IP,, they didn't aquire it.

Rebellion deserve a breakout hit, and this looks really good.
Sniper needs a good long break, 5 looked really polished but it was just too samey..

Really really excited

Also we need much more settings of the island people , with their charm and all their misspelled words

@Banjo- Ya Was pretty good! It was just close enough to the real thing, I could see them stealing your wording

@user0 Ya, this should have been the first trailer.
I'm still really uneasy about this game, two instances where they showed gameplay that just looked kind of bad. Now this with spliced highlighted gameplay........

@Banjo- 😂😂 well done
