Awww I thought this was coming to game pass. Don’t really like watching wrestling or feel like paying for a game, but I would have tried it on game pass. I used to play 2k15 on pc all the time
Still excited to play but they really fumbled everything by losing out on baldurs gate at launch. Now people will be straight up comparing it to the console release of one of the best rpgs of all time and one that’s ps5 exclusive for now.
Make a wireless controller with the dimensions and triggers of the wired 360 controller with Hall effect sensors and haptics please. Build quality of the elite and you can have my $200
There are a few games I enjoy playing, but it’s mostly stuff that was big in the UK in the 80s. Would love some The Last Ninja in 64 for example or beyond the forbidden Forrest. I don’t know anyone in the US that had a zx spectrum…but I understand England loved it
The entire collection really seems to cater to a specific audience. This is a no brainer if you’re 40+ years old and lived in the UK. Lots of ZX Spectrum games. Lots of commodore games that were popular in the UK. I am not from the UK and am surprised by some of the omissions. Lots of EPYX games but not all the the Olympic ones are there. Would love Gamestar Boxing and Last Ninja series too.
Arcade Ninja Gaiden and Law of the West were fun to play again!
It’s not great. Some devs don’t get why the gameplay loops on looter games work. You needs gear that changes your cosmetic appearance for each piece. It’s creates the psychology of ‘one more run for one more piece’ mentality and hooks the player. This is what Avengers didn’t understand, either.
It’s just okay…
Also the pet semetary version of New England town design is so played out and actual rural New England is a much more terrifying setting…
Jim Ryan is notoriously tied to UK regulators. Good luck! MS explaining cloud gaming to those boomers is like teaching your grandmother how to use a computer. First nixing emulation, now this. Xbox can’t stop taking Ls
This is the main reason I purchased an Xbox. I figured they would be smart enough to just ignore it. Welp. Learned my lesson. Back to japan for consoles…
The game is fine. I just don’t see why everyone went so crazy over this survival sandbox when there are so many on the market that are very similar. Can anyone provide insight on this?
Already installed. Very excited to try this one. Not gonna preorder anything, but this could be a day one buy if this beta is as good as people online have led me to believe!
The original wired 360 controller is the best designed and most comfortable controller I have ever used. It was a sad day when my puppy chewed the cord on mine 8 years ago and I couldn’t get a new one.
@KaijuKaiser funding a port to your console is not the same as funding exclusive rights for a game on your console or funding a dev to keep it off a competitor’s.
Not tricking me again Blizzard. After the last couple releases, you can’t use your ‘blizzard polish’ argument to get me to pay full price for another of your games. That blizzard is gone. If I don’t get day one activision games if or when the deal goes through, my game pass sub will be gone as well. At this point, more games I like leave every month than are added.
If it has the same tone as Robocop from the 80s, this could be awesome! If it’s like the reboot, it will be meh. With my luck, it will be like Robocop 3 😝
They would, but I don’t believe they are even close to hitting their subscriber projections for this time. Game Pass is cool, but there’s a lot of room for improvement - if it gets back on course to hitting the sub numbers they thought it would, it will 100% start creeping up towards $20 point. I think Netflix really taught everyone a lesson about squeezing your customers with sub prices during economic down times.
I mostly just want this resolved so I can play Diablo 4 on game pass this summer. Although, the funniest outcome would be CoD ending up on every platform except PlayStation.
@BBB It’s the perfect platform to make their case, though. Most of the people involved in regulating this are boomers who don’t understand technology and still have a newspaper dropped on their doorsteps every morning.

Re: Xbox Game Pass: All Games Coming Soon In July 2023

I’m curious how you see that as the same thing.
