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.

What's the point of digital discs if you need to be online to install it?

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.

Whoever made that comment just wanted to play on gamepass. They would never have bought it, even if they liked it.

Ah. A bit too late for me.

@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.

Nothing I want to play is on that list tho.

Oh wait, valheim is crossplay, Steam and Xbox. It's not on this list tho.

Oh wherever they want to play could mean a handheld device.

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.

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.

I think PC game pass will remain cheap, but still will avoid getting it.

I didn't realise acquiring Activision was such a bad Idea. Ever since Activision joined the team, I've just been hearing bad news and nothing good.

Can't wait. Hopefully I can play on steam.

@NEStalgia oh I see. Thanks.

What does divest mean? Sorry I didn't learn that word haha.

I don't think I'll be resubscribing to game pass anytime soon.

If he hadn't left, would it have been a different story or would it still shut down?

@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.

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.

Could they not just merge the two arkane into one, instead of closing one?

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.

I wouldn't buy their next home console, so I wouldn't mind if it was a portable.

I weren't planning on playing this. But I don't like that it's forced. They're like kinda forcing us to get a ultra wide monitor.

It was before my time. Never had a sega console.

200£ for a digital movie collection? I can watch them all for free tho if I wanted to. If I were to buy a movie, I'd buy it physically.

Don't forget that there's also the Lenovo Go. Which seems more attractive to me than the other 2.

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.

@Bobobiwan the game shops in my area closed. So what shelves can they go on?

Boo! I don't like cod. I want something new.

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.

I'm not a fan. So I would say no. Don't like first person or shooting games.

If xbox start supporting vr, I hope they let you use other brands too.

Nice, I wanna live in a place like that with solar powers.

@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.

Should give you the option to turn it off if you don't like it.

Can it be done? I think they should just make a new mmo for the consoles in the same universe.

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.

If they don't have any micro transactions or any paid dlcs and all expansions are free updates, then I believe they should be tipped.

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.

Not sure what score it would get as the game isn't out yet and I know nothing about gameplay. But it's highly unlikely it'd be game of the year. Tho if it does, then good for them.

It's not my type of game, so I will definitely not buy this game. Tho I did buy the first game because I enjoyed heavenly sword on the PS3. And thought it might be similar.

@PhileasFragg yeah but I meant why wasn't it done straight away after acquisition. What did they had to do to take this long to put it on their store?

How hard is it to put PC games in the PC xbox store? Do they need to do something before they can put it there?

Yeah if games were cheap or reasonably priced, I'd be buying a lot more games. Instead, I wait for a game to on sale these days.
