I think the combat and world is good, but I hate quite a few things.
World boss loot drop is based on how much contribution you made, like how damage you dealt or healed. I'm not exactly sure if this is true. But if you do less damage than all the other players, you won't get any loot.
If you kill an enemy, it drops loot. But if another player hits your target first and you kill it, you get no loot.
Guild leaders can choose if their members can keep their own loot from raid bosses, or they can choose to keep loot for themselves. If you see in settings it says guild acquires loot, don't join that guild. Join a guild that says loot goes to guild members. That means you keep your own loot.
@WildConcept6 it's a good thing now then that they will add it soon, I guess. But if it is because of a separate app, then xbox could have made a separate app dedicated to only viewing and buying xbox games. I no longer have the xbox, but when I did, I needed a way to browse the store and see what I could buy. And because they didn't, I didn't buy anything from the xbox store.
I use the steam app a lot now, I use it to check my wishlist and add new games to it from my phone and I've also made purchases using my phone rather than directly from steam on PC.
So I feel like xbox probably missed out on sales because they didn't have a mobile app for buying or browsing what games were available on the xbox.
I think it's ok to change strategies. Like if they notice something isn't working, they're gonna make a change to something else to see if that works, right? Sticking to the same strategy that's not working, isn't a good idea. It's good to try something new, see what works.
@Mustoe I don't want to buy the game because I'm not a fan of the game. Why would I buy something I won't play? I just said I wanted to try it. Not play it. When I say try, I mean like just walk around London and see how it looks, then uninstall.
I'm not a console gamer. I switched to PC. I bought every game I play or have played. I've also bought all the gamepass games I've played and enjoyed. Like I bought ni no kuni 2 and scarlet nexus on steam after playing it on gamepass.
@HonestHick I played on my phone. With mobile data. Ping is high. But I don't lag much. Sometimes I do. But sometimes I have a good connection, and haven't noticed any lag.
Think it has 3 more years left and Nintendo hasn't even announced their next console yet. Nintendo probably aiming to compete with the next gen xbox and playstation. Or maybe xbox and playstation will have a pro version in a couple years from now and then we might have a longer generation for this console generation.
@rustyduck i didn't know there was a limit, but I've never played a game longer than 8 hours straight. I'd at least take short breaks before getting back to it. Is the 8 hours the daily limit or just when you get kicked off and able to rejoin again?
@OldGamer999 there is a short loading, but not 5 minutes. It's like 10-20 seconds or so for me and I use mobile internet. I've played a few games on the cloud. Never had to wait 5 minutes. If it does takes more than a minute, then there's probably a connection issue. But when my internet is working fine, then the game loads quick.
@rustyduck geforce now is free, that's why you get queues and see ads and possibly a time limit. But if you pay, there's no queues and I don't think it has a time limit, not sure tho.
The queues were very long for free users before they added ads, but after they've added the ads, queues were really short, like you'd be 4th place , if you watch a couple ads.
I have game pass on pc. And the xbox app on there is just terrible. Won't even let me play cloud games because I don't have a supported controller. But on the website it says it's supported for the fire stick, why not for the PC?

@BeMadIdc do you know when? I didn't hear any stories about this. Just saw a short clip somewhere that it's coming, but nothing more.
Re: 'Reynatis' Dev Explains Lack Of Xbox Version, Says There's Not Enough Demand In Japan
I think that people who play these types of games would have probably bought them on other platforms, if it were out on xbox.

Re: Fallout: London Is So Good, Some People Think It's The 'Best Game Since New Vegas'
@BowsersBuddy yeah they said that the gamepass version isn't supported. So you would need the full game on either gog or steam.

@Mustoe yeah but you need to buy the full game to use the mod. And I don't want to buy that game.
Re: Fallout: London Is So Good, Some People Think It's The 'Best Game Since New Vegas'
I don't plan on buying the game. But if it gets added to gamepass, I'd like to check it out.
