Re: Pick One: Which Is Your Favourite LEGO Game On Xbox?

ChrisMcC7

Lego City not showing on the list but that's my favourite lego game by some distance. Enjoyed pirates of the Caribbean, star wars and jurassic Park though. Haven't played a lego game for a long time but looking forward to the skywalker saga next month. Given up that we'll see a lego city type game again. They've so many franchise that are free of movie tie ins that would be cool.

Re: Josef Fares Blasts Xbox Series Naming Convention As A 'Total F**king Mess'

I'm sure by the time the bulk of Series S/X consoles are sold there won't be One S/X on the market. I'm not sure it's the greatest name but for now it's early adopters who know what they are getting. When the larger audience purchase through the back of this year and next it will be the only Xbox options on the market. So it's confusing for a short period, when predominantly early adopters and enthusiasts are buying.

Re: Poll: How Many Xbox Consoles Have You Owned In Total?

ChrisMcC7

Just one, Xbox One S. Having only Nintendo consoles since the Sega master system it was the WiiU drying up and nothing really on the horizon that persuaded me to look to a very reasonably priced Xbox. Backwards compatibility, decent stream of games and Gamepass have meant I've pre-ordered a series X.

Re: More Publishers Are Reportedly Considering Raising Next-Gen Game Prices

Makes Game Pass even more appealing. I'm sure at the start of each generation games are a bit more before dropping down. I think I paid full RRP for one game when I bought my One S but prices drop so quickly I've never bought anything not on sale since. Maybe this is a move to combat the fact that PS4 and Xbox prices drop so quickly and everyone knows it. Only games I pay full price for at launch are nintendo ones as they don't drop.

Also not sure what entertainment they mean has gone up? CDs/DVD/Blu-ray are all cheaper than when they first arrived on the market.

Development cost may have gone up, but the market size has too so there is plenty of opportunity there. Early adopters of these consoles are seen as people who will swallow a price rise. Milking your most loyal customers. It'll be back down again inside 18 months.

Re: Talking Point: Xbox Fans, How Do You Feel After Sony's PS5 Event?

ChrisMcC7

@BlueOcean completely agree. I wouldn't mind so much if it had stated the release estimate in the video but it left me thinking what else shown wouldn't release any time soon. Nintendo sometimes go too far the other way but I far prefer their stance of showing games that are going to arrive in the next twelve months.

Pendulum was always going to swing to Sony after this and so it should with the amount of effort the put in. If you loved Sony before, then I suspect you'll have loved last night. I know Microsoft has a lot more to come and the momentum will swing a few more times between now and Christmas.

Hearing that one of the games shown won't see the light of day until 2022 though says maybe there isn't that much available any time soon.
