I only played hellblade out of the list and didn't really get into it. Never knew they made other games. I played their other game that's not on xbox and I enjoyed that. Would be cool if there was a remake of that and multiplatform. I would like to try it out again.
I got a series x coz of gamepass and coz I heard that they listen and deliver what people ask for. Found out after getting the SX, it wasn't true. I was disappointed with the console, so I gave it away.
I bought it for a quid from cex for PS4, and I played for a bit with friends who play it. I didn't really get into it, so I turned it off and never touched it again. It's not my type of game, even though I'm into MMORPGs. I like mmos because there's lots of players around and that you can make a clan together or a guild. But I have to like the gameplay, artstyle and story, for me to get into it.
@NEStalgia oh on PC you don't need to configure something all the time. The only time I use mouse is to log in, update stuff when needed, open steam or the game and use the browser. Oh I do use an app to mess with the fan and led settings, but that's optional, don't have to mess with it and just leave as it is.
So for anyone that just wants to play games only, they could set steam up to launch in big picture mode on start up. So whenever you log in, just grab a controller and then select the game you want to play. And you can also turn off the PC from there too.
The only time you would configure stuff and download everything you need would be at the initial setup, when you first get your pc. Won't need to mess around with the settings after that. Just a one time thing.
What's unique about xbox tho? I've seen a lot of common games so far and nothing unique or interesting for me.
I now see xbox as just boring platform and whatever I can do on there, I can do better on pc.
Except quick resume. That's nice and all, but I never really used that on the xbox, as I fully shut down the console from the socket. And when I turn it back on, quick resume isn't there.
I don't think cod should be added to game pass on day one. Or any of Activision games, day one. I think they should treat activision as a separate entity. Something they own, but not the same as xbox games. Maybe I'm just weird for thinking this. But I think Activision games should be added to gamepass 2 or 3 months after release.
I actually own Dishonored and Dishonored 2. 1 is on epic games I got for free. And 1 on gog, I also got for free. I never played them, but I guess I'll give it a go and see how it is.
@NEStalgia yep, I know it was tango that made Ghostwire Tokyo, hi-fi rush and evil within. Not sure what else they made tho, only know these 3 games from them.
I'm sure if they kept the now closed studios, they could have made multiple small games at once. There is still no xbox first party games that I actually like. I kinda like Ghostwire Tokyo, but it's not really for me as I don't like first person. I thought maybe after acquiring Activision, they'd be able to make games I might like. But I highly doubt it now.
But I am confused to why shut down their only Japanese studio. They'll never have another chance to acquire a Japanese studio. I think they should have kept them and put them to good use. I know they mainly make horror games, but they could have tried something different.
@Gloki_junior I also tried to support the xbox this generation. The xsx was the first xbox I ever bought. And Microsoft pooped on my expectations lol. I got rid of it and built a gaming pc last year. And will stick to PC from now on..
I honestly thought Microsoft acquiring these Studios was a good thing. But I was wrong. I thought Microsoft had the money to keep these studios up and running. But guess I was wrong.
Even though I don't play the games Tango Gameworks made, I thought Ghostwire Tokyo was a good game. I only played like an hour and was planning on getting back to it when I had nothing else to play.
I see this as a loss to Microsoft. Hopefully the staff can find a better place to work for.
If it can compete with the others, then yeah it would be nice to have. But if it's a cheap low budget one, then won't be that good. Might sell well tho, just won't be good.
I want both, but I'll sacrifice resolution from 4K to 2K. At 1440p, I should have really high framerates and quality. On PC, I usually have settings maxed out.
@Tonmoy don't think Microsoft have the budget to have more employees, didn't they just layoff a few recently? So there's probably no profit from acquiring studios from embracer.
I didn't watch properly but I saw the fighting at the beginning and thought it was meh. Left it on play and went to lie down. Was listening to parts of 2nd episode, and it did kinda sound interesting. I then turned it off coz I thought I should watch it properly.
Some scenes are way too gruesome for me, I can't handle seeing too much blood in real people. In a game is fine, but if it looks too real, I feel uncomfortable.
I don't look at the download size until after I hit the download button. So while it's downloading, that's when I see it. If there's no room, I make room. I can delete a game I'm not playing. I don't play every game that's downloaded.
The 4 big boxes kinda ruin it. It would also be better if the little boxes showed installed games only, instead of games and apps. But still in the recently used order.

@GamingFan4Lyf oh ok. So would it work the same with any cheap headphones? A lot of cheap headphones have bad sound.
Re: Ninja Theory Explains Why Headphones Are So Important In Hellblade 2
Why headphones over a surround sound? I think I would prefer to play games on surround.

Re: Talking Point: Is Sarah Bond Hinting At Eventually Moving Away From Xbox Hardware?
Oh wherever they want to play could mean a handheld device.
Re: Talking Point: Is Sarah Bond Hinting At Eventually Moving Away From Xbox Hardware?
If they do stop making next Xbox consoles, they could still make accessories. I wouldn't buy it tho as I don't like their controllers.

Re: Former Blizzard President Gives Support To Phil Spencer Amidst Xbox Negativity
@cragis0001 yeah but I was thinking that they don't need to be popular in Japan, they can make Japanese games that's popular in the west.

Re: Talking Point: Do You Actively Avoid Xbox Games With Massive Download Sizes?
I don't look at the download size until after I hit the download button. So while it's downloading, that's when I see it. If there's no room, I make room. I can delete a game I'm not playing. I don't play every game that's downloaded.
