@HeavyHoggJP you mentioned food. I only said it's important to buy food more than to pay for a subscription. Even if you cook, you still have to buy the ingredients.
Well at least now you get online with it. So that's good. But these prices aren't really worth it. I think cloud gaming should have it's own tier, where it's just cloud only and it's only £5 a month hehe.
@BAMozzy just so you know, armoury crate comes with new Asus motherboards, too. Can't use a controller on them tho, but it shows you a full list of installed games in large block icons. Same as the geforce experience app, but the old version had them as block icons, the new version shows them as a list, with graphics settings next to it. So you could adjust the graphics settings for each game without having to launch it. The gog app also does this, but only if you link your accounts from other platforms like ubisoft, epic games and such. It has the option to link the steam as well, but for some reason it fails for me.
The xbox hardware will always be bad for me. But I'll check out what games they can bring in the future. The showcase was good, but I only liked the third party games shown. There are no first party games I'm attracted to.
I might consider getting gamepass again, but last time I had it, my ps5 controller on PC gamepass wasn't recognised. Which put me off from renewing. Steam is just way better with controller support.
If people on fire tv are only going to play cloud gaming, then I think the game pass ultimate might be overpaying. They should make a tier for cloud gaming only.
I don't think what they said means there was an exclusivity deal. To me it seems like they were asked if there was an exclusivity deal and they replied by saying they can't comment on that.
Wait, I'm confused. I thought DLCs are only available for purchase once it's out. Never knew you could buy them before, unless it's in an expansion pass or something. But why buy a DLC before it's released?
They don't make games I like, so I don't care. I'm happy with what I saw at the showcase. Every game looked good. Even tho I'm only interested in playing 1 or 2 games from that showcase.
There wasn't any gameplay for the game, so I doubt it will be ready for next year. Maybe 2026 would be more likely. Unless it's a easy to make game, coz who am I to say, I don't know how long it takes to make these big games.
I'm not looking to buy another xbox. Buying the series x was a mistake. I sold it for £150 lol. No more consoles for me, but might consider a handheld, if I can play my PC library also.
@REAVERZINE keep an eye out for sales. In UK where price is £480 for series x, I've seen price drop way below £400. I think it might have been £350 or maybe closer to £300. Same with PS5, they've been going on sale quite frequently.
@themightyant I clicked on the link. But that page is so confusing. It's a page for a game that's not out yet. But there's already reviews. And reviews are from 2022. I think xbox messed up. Reviews should be for individual games, not the whole franchise.
They rid say that they need to optimise for the series x|s, so I am guessing it's because they need to optimise it for the series s. If that's the case, then I think xbox should allow it to release on series x first and series s later, after it has been properly optimised.
Because usually if a game comes out on another platform first, and people want that game, some might get it on the platform it is available on, first. And then if it comes out on xbox later, after already buying it on another platform, they most likely won't buy the game again. Some people might wait or some people probably just have an xbox only, but those are probably a small number of people.
I know I won't wait, unless it's on a platform I don't like, like the epic games store.
Don't think Microsoft can afford to acquire anyone else, they just shut a couple studios. So I doubt they're looking for anymore acquisition. Microsoft would probably ruin Steam if they acquired Valve. But if it was the other way round, valve would probably improve the xbox.
I bought the game but didn't play it much, not coz I didn't like it. It might be because I got a PS4 around the same time and I bought the game on PC. So I've been spending most of my time on the PS4. And I bought a few PS3 games too that I never got around to playing because of the PS4. I still haven't played those last few games I bought on PS3.
@Chaotic_Neutral that was my last experience back when I was playing the 1st battlefield I think on ps4. I can't remember which 1. But I tried it, and everytime I spawn and walk for a few seconds, I get one shot from someone so far away that I couldn't see them lol.

Re: Xbox Game Pass Gets Price Increases And New 'Standard' Subscription Tier

Re: Xbox Announces Three New Series X|S Consoles Launching In 2024
The all digital series x cost a lot more than the digital PS5. So wouldn't this make people choose the PS5 over xbox, if they were to get a console?
